| Description of the problem | On three different occasions starting july 2011 and ending march 2015, the brakes failed after vdc/abs/slip warning lights were illuminated on a 2005 nissan armada. On one of the occasions, while attempting to stop, the brake pedal was depressed to the floor with little resistance. The vehicle failed to stop causing it to go through a busy intersection and just missed being struck by a tractor trailer. Spent over $2000. 00 in repairs and the problems persist. I no longer feel save in driving the vehicle and finally sold it at a lost. *js |
