Nissan Rogue brake problem or not
I own a new Nissan Rogue SV FWD. I like the SUV very much, but noticed the more miles I put on it, the softer the brake peddle feels. I complained to the service manager and he ordered a new master cylinder, replaced it today and it still feels the same. I asked for the old one back, he showed me the box that the old one was being shipped back and said he could not give it back because it is a warranty issue. Then he told me that the new Nissan brake system is an electric assist instead of a vacuum booster system and that is why the brake peddle has a soft feel when braking. Has anyone else who owns a 2015 Rogue experienced a soft brake peddle and a drop in peddle pressure when applying the brakes. Is it true that the electric assist brake system causes the peddle to drop and become softer when applying the brakes?
Would like to hear from other new Rogue owners if they have had this same experience with their brakes. Thanks

If the brake system is correct there will be no difference in the pedal height whether it is pumped or not. Then hold the pedal and start the engine without changing the pressure you are applying with your foot. The pedal should drop away as the booster charges with vacuum and helps you push the pedal. If this outline describes what you are feeling then there may be nothing wrong with your car and you are just comparing two systems that different amounts of assist.
