| Description of the problem | Regarding 2005 nissan armada brake issue... I was driving reaching to the speed of 35mph and when i came to a stop at intersection i notice that my brake light was on. Applied the brakes and there was no brakes. You could hear noise coming from the front end like metal grinding. I pulled over the a parking lot and check under the hood to see if the brake fluid was low, but it was full. Drove the car the elk grove nissan and told them what had happened. In response, they told me that they can not find a problem and continue driving the car until the light comes back on and drive it directly to the dealership so they can pull the cold. I told them that they are crazy, because this is a safety issue and i can put my life in danger by driving the suv there without proper brakes. They told me at the time, they can not help me until the light comes back on. I asked the dealership to see if there's a recall or bulletin out for this and they told me no. Further investigation needs to follow up on this because tons of people who owns this model could die from accidents due to the suv having this problem. Also, proper protocol needs to be follow with the mfg and dealership regarding this issue. Please advise. This matter needs to be address to the dealership and fix the darn problem before many lives are lost due to this matter. They need to seek proper procedures before a big law suit is in place. |
