Description of the problem	We have a 2005 nissan armada (which was purchased new) it has had an issue where the "brake" light comes on and there is rapid pulsating/grinding noise from the brake system. During this event, the brake stopping distance is severely impacted and braking is dangerously inconsistent. We have brought vehicle into nissan dealer and been told because there "is no current stored code" they could not do anything for us and that we needed "to drive the vehicle in while this event occurred", so they could see what happened. There is no way it would be remotely safe to do so!!!! Nissan you are requesting a very unsafe procedure!!!!!! Each time this brake issue has happened (at least 6 with my wife and 1 with me), we were fortunate enough to pull the vehicle over and turn it off. In doing so it appears the vehicle "reset" and once turned back on the vehicle appeared to operate properly. Here are our occurrences: - once on/or around 9/2005- didn't think much at this point as we already had heard about issues with rotors and thought that was connected - 4/23/2007- went to dealer - 8/13/2008- called dealer told to drive it in while it was happening by dealer - right before 10/8/2008 on 10/8 we brought into dealer for this problem and a couple other issues - 5/14/2009 - 5/18/2009 - 5/26/2009 it happened to me with both of my grade school boys on vacation in rush hour traffic in northern california. The vehicle had a very clear issue and i had to make some tough traffic negotiations to get off of the freeway. Once off i turned off the vehicle and sat there for a short period of time. I turned it back on and luckily made it to my destination without further incident. I will be speaking with the nissan dealership again, to give them one last chance to try and fix this issue. They have done nothing as of yet and appear to lack any interest in fixing this problem. Take a look at any forums or car complaint web-sites there are numerous such complaints for same issue.
