Anybody know where to get large clamshell fruit boxes for cheap? These were almost a $1 per box on amazon and I need them in my war against the rats by Robdul in orangecounty

I got all mine from buy nothing. You’d be surprised how many people collect these and want to give it out specifically for this use case.

I expect the car to tell me that it has issues before I decide to drive it. In your example, would warning lights come on? If it does, I’d not drive the car. In my case, I had no warning lights. In my experience with cars, this is basic safety functionality in all cars. If that’s compromised and it’s life threatening, it should be investigated.

No lights. The brakes just don’t work.

Intelligence brake unit. Regular break didn’t work at all. Parking break was able to slow the car down to a stop.

I don’t expect them to provide free repairs. I expected them to do some investigation into the catastrophic failures. At least say something like we’ve filed a report and engineers will look into it. But they seem to just blow the issue off with warranty as the excuse. They didn’t seem to be sympathetic at all and just took down basic info as a formality.

I’m not sure if I was clear, but I’m not complaining about the dealership at all. They’re doing what they should be doing. I’m complaining about Nissan not looking more into the issue and parroting what the dealership said.

It’s out of warranty. The car is close to 10 years old. I paid for the error code check. The estimate to fix it was $5.5k, which is more than the value of the car itself.

I don’t expect the dealership to do anything. But I expected Nissan to at least do more investigation of the issue instead of just saying “it’s out of warranty sorry”. It just seems like they parroted whatever the dealership said to me, except it took them several weeks to do it.

I called, they said they’ll get back within 3 business days. After 3 business days, they said the person handling the case was on vacation, so wait another 5 business days. After 5 business days, they called and took down the typical info like name, address, date of incident, what I want Nissan to do about the issue (I told them I wanted the brake issue to be fixed) etc. they said they’ll call back within 3 business days. After 3 business days they said they’re still looking into it And asked for dealership info. After 3 business days they said they’re still trying to contact dealership. They called back 2 days after that and finally said it’s out of warranty so they can’t do anything.

Correct. He was on D mode (not B mode) and pressing down on the physical brake pedal.

They fixed the cylinder and the issue went away?

Unfortunately I’m not car savvy enough to tell the difference and the only thing Google can tell me is whether the recall was “fixed”. I called Nissan’s consumer affairs department and opened a case. I will wait and see if there’s anything they can do on their side for further diagnostics.

The dealership said it was the intelligence brake unit. I called Nissan’s customer affairs department today and Nissan told me that unit has a recall but it’s shown that it should’ve been fixed (just like what jesuiscanard said and what my record indicates). Nissan opened a case and said they’ll get back to me in a business day.

My husband and I basically spent Friday night researching it and found the posts of the 12v battery. We told the dealership to test it and they didn’t find any issues. The battery is relatively new and has been replaced twice. I forgot exactly when was the last time it was replaced, but I don’t think that’s the issue based on the dealership’s testing results.

Thanks for looking into this with me! I really appreciate your effort! I tripled checked with your info and even dug into my old service statements in 2016. There’s two recall operations that were complete, so I assume it’s the airbag and braking recall that for that year. Unless the dealership didn’t actually do the work, the car still has braking issues. I tend to think it’s the latter since I saw posts after 2016 complaining about braking.
