Description of the problem	I have a 2005 nissan armada, the problem is complete brake failure. When traveling at slow speeds (<20mph) the brake system gives out completely. The brake pedal goes to the floor, the red brake dash light comes on and the abs and vdc systems go into a confused array of mixed signals and sounds trying to correct the failed brake system. At the time of failure the braking power is <25% of normal. In a panic stop or while trailering a load there would be no way to avoid a crash and injury. This failure occurred 5 times in one day before the vehicle was towed to nissan. The scariest part of this failure is that by turning the vehicle off and restarting it, resets the system failure and everything functions completely normal for a time, leading the driver to believe that it was just a computer error that needed reset. Nissan reported that it was code c1179, delta sensor failure and required a new delta sensor and brake vacuum booster. The vehicle currently has only 39,458 miles on it. This is a major safety issue, this vehicle is rated to tow 9100lbs, when the failure occurs the vehicle can barely stop its own weight. The stopping distance during failure going 20mph was approx. 200 to 300 feet with only one occupant. Nissan knew exactly what the problem was when i called them so i am not the only one to have this occurrence. Upon researching i found 48 complaints that match mine on aboutautomobiles. Com. These people all took the time like me to create an account and voice their concerns in much detail. This is a manufacturing defect that should not be occurring on any vehicle. Please correct this problem before someone gets hurt!!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
