| Description of the problem | We have had several incidents with the nissan armada since owning the vehicle new. Basically, the brakes fail on the car and it becomes very difficult to stop the vehicle. It becomes unsafe to drive. It is a known problem with the armada and titan and nissan continues to deny the problem. My wife nearly had 2 accidents during the incidents. The dealer states turning the car on and off resets it but there is no way to determine when it can happen again. It is extremely dangerous and should be addressed with a recall by nissan. |
