The abs system on the vehicle activates at low speeds. Abs light turns on dashboard. Buzzing sound heard from engine bay while abs engages. This causes the vehicle to skid when applying moderate pressure on the brake pedal while at low speed. This can be dangerous because if you are forced to suddenly stop the car will keep moving/skidding forward instead of coming to a quick complete stop. I have no air in my brake…

When the weather gets very cold the brakes on my altima 3.5 will seem to lock up and not want to let me brake. Feels as if someone has stuck a brick under the pedal. I have heard many many complaints and people that have had the same problem. I would do something about this asap. I've replaced the part already for this. For the 3.5 part number is 47430-8j100. The 2.5 is 8j000. *tr

Each winter since i purchased the car, during cold weather, when car is first started, brakes do not work. It is like they are frozen and the brake pedal will not depress unless forced. Once i get the pedal to go down, the pedal must be pumped numerous times to get them to work. Once car is warmed, they will work. This is a 3.5 se model. The dealership cannot locate any problem. *tr
