Not only will the 08 Nissan Rogue incorporate the normal ABS (see Antilock Brake System below) standard on just about all vehicles now adays, but it will also include a fairly new system called Electronic Brake Force Distribution or EBD for short.

On cars without EBD, when the driver presses the brake pedal, the force is evenly distributed to the four brakes. On cars with EBD, the brake force is proportioned to each wheel based on driving conditions and available traction. In an emergency straight-line braking situation, EBD would provide more brake pressure to the front to avoid the rear brakes from locking. If the driver brakes while steering a corner, it would control the brake forces between the left and right wheels to help maintain stability.

Quote:

Anti-lock brakes, also called ABS, for passenger cars date back nearly 30 years. ABS uses electronics at each wheel to rigorously "pulse" the brakes faster than any driver physically could during panic stops. This rapid pulsing prevents the brakes from locking up the wheels during hard, sudden stops and on some slippery surfaces. Wheel lockup is a problem to be avoided because it can cause skids and prevent drivers from maintaining steering control.

This is pretty good for Nissan Rouge. This new break systems will really help a lot in the security of the driver. I better check out usa auto parts dealers to get one.

I've checked the web for aftermarket disc brakes and I found cheap or no name brand discs for our cars. I thinK the only thing we can upgarde for now are just the brake pads. Cause I don't know about you guys, but when I really get on the car on the highway I sometimes have to slow down quick and I feel the brakes kind of shaky. Not a GREAT FEELING.

Anyone else having this problem. Before the snow storm my brakes didn't make any sounds. When I would really drive fast and did some quick stopping I felt the car would shake alittle. But since the snow storm the car makes sounds only when I'm going slow and coming to a stop sign or approaching a red light. Also when I start to roll again. Does this mean my brakes are going?

*****UPDATE**** Well the noise that my car was making was a scraping sound as the car was in motion. When I came to a complete stop the noise went away. I even tried idling when I was at a complete stop and no noise. I made an appointment with the dealer and they couldn't get me an appointment soon enough. The girl at the dealer was pretty useless. I took it to a mechanic I use to go to with my Altima and they found that one of my brake shields was bent into the rotor and caused the scraping sound. They also found the aluminum shield that protects the drive shaft bent in alittle causing it to also to scrape when it spinned. After everything was bent back to normal. I gotta say the Rogue performed excellent in this snow storm. Hope everyone else was enjoying theres.
