“While driving the car will slow down and I will notice the brake light is on. Then I will hear like a grinding sound. As if im driving with emergency brakes on. The parking brakes engage while im driving. We took car to a nissan dealer for servicing but they could not detect any problem. There is certainly a problem with braking system. I am afraid this will cause an accident. It has happened about 7 times in the last 2 weeks. We just got new brakes on oct. 5 2019. This problem a few years ago and it will happen a few times a year but lately its happening more often. It staryed back on or about oct.1, 2019.”Owner report · Service Brakes · Oct 2019
