Tony Nissan performed an approximately 18-mile road test and reported that it could not reproduce the braking concern.  Its inspection included checks for hydraulic leaks, brake-fluid level, and brake-booster vacuum leakage.  The dealership also found the front brake pads worn to approximately 2 mm.
