I was at the nissan dealership today, and a lady came in because her nissan armada lost its ability to brake (all of the sudden out of nowhere). Once she finally came to a stop and turned the car off and back on, everything was okay. I spoke to the service reps, and they said this is a known issue and nissan haven't done a recall (they were very concerned about this). This is very alarming because i own an ? 05 armada that my wife drives with our two children. I went online, and found cases of this happening all over with too many close calls. Http://x. Nissanhelp. Com/forums/armada/1852-brake-problems. Html ... Is just one forum link i will attach where you can read about this issue. Somebody needs to get nissan to do something quickly, or people will get hurt or even killed! Thanks, mike quirin |
