| Description of the problem | Vehicle: 2005 nissan armada failure: complete failure of the brake system incident: while driving lost complete brake system, leaving me with no ability to stop the vehicle. The problem resolved itself by restarting the vehicle. Resolution: i took the vehicle to the dealer and was told they could not repeat the issue and that they would "reflash" the ecm that "should" correct the problem. After researching this i found many other owner of 2004 - 2007 nissan armada and titan vehicle had the same problem. The problem is best described as an intermittent complete failure of the brake system that is resolved by restarting the vehicle. After many complaints to nissan and the dealer they decided to replace the power brake booster saying that any component failure that causes this must be contained in the brake booster. They also stated that they have replaced other customers brake boosters with the same problem. This is a major safety issue that nissan needs to make there customers aware of!!!! |
