| Description of the problem | My husband was leaving work in 2005 nissan armada, he heard a strange grinding noise coming from front brakes as he tried to stop at a stop sign then realized he had no brakes. He managed to drive the 10 miles home with no brakes. We drove to nearest nissan dealer the next day and was told it was an electrical issue in the master brake cylinder and would cost 900. 00 to fix. After checking online forums we realized this is an issue with many more owners, that nissan fails to do anything about. How many people have to get seriously hurt before nissan will admit that there is a serious issue with the brakes for this model. |
