Description of the problem	When driving our nissan armada, there was a grinding noise upon braking. A few seconds later, the brake light appears. As the car is still moving & braking again, the grinding is still there & it sounds like metal, however, when applying pressure to the brake pedal, it feels like there are no brakes. I would have to brake well ahead to avoid hitting the car in front of me. As i accelarte the gas, the armada has a hard time picking up speed (this is a v8 vehicle with lots of power) & feels sluggish trying to go beyond 40 miles per hour. I would have to pull over and turn car off completely for a few minutes & restart vehicle. We have 2 children that we drive around in this unsafe vehicle especially with the brake problem. This instance has happened on more than 4 occasions & both my husband & i experienced it. My husband was on the freeway when it happened to him. I brought the car to a nissan dealership when it happened to me while i was driving. I went straight over to nissan with kids in tow & paid approximately $85 with no results. Service tech states they did not find anything wrong & did not fix anything. I know i am not the only one with this braking problem. The braking problem happened again this morning while driving on my way to work. I stopped for a minute, turned off the ignition, & restarted it. The problem this time did not go away. I feel very unsafe. Does something tragic need to happen first before nissan addresses this problem? There are numerous forums on the web claiming brake problems with the nissan armada, however, it has not been properly addressed or fixed permantly. I did my research & all i can see are temporary fixes. Please... Please... Before anything tragic may happen (ex: toyota/lexus brake recalls), have nissan find a permanent solution. There are many armada drivers out there that are at a high risk of an accident.
