| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 nissan armada and on at least 4 occasions my brake light has come on while driving. When i apply the brakes they make a grinding noise and the vehicle vibrates and the brakes are not effective. So far i have not had anyone in front of me nor have the traffic lights been red. If they had i would have been involved in an accident. I have had to coast to the edge of the road or turn into a parking are. When i turn the vehicle off and re-start it the problem disappears. I went on line to a web site listing problems with the armada and find that mine is not the only one doing this. I think you need to recall these vehicles as there is something wrong. I know you wont as in my opinion most of you worthless government employees are useless and don't give a damn about the safety of the citizens of this country. Last happened october 10th 2010. |
