My brake line broke in three pieces while I was driving on the highway visiting my son I almost lost my life the brakes did not work all of the fluid came out thank God I didnât die there was no sign on the dashboard also my brakes even when I change the pads the rotors and calipers they always make noise.

The air bag warning light pop on when I was stopping for red light. The car has not been in a crash ,fire , or flood. The air bag module must be a manufacturer problem, this is not no routine maintenance problem. There are other nissan models with same problem. Please don't let manufacturers get away with this, it is putting me and my passengers in very high danger. This is a item only manufacturers have easy access to.I payed alot of money for vehicle, please add my vehicle for recall , there's no where else to turn to. Thank for your help and consideration.
