| Description of the problem | 2005 nissan armada- our problem seems to be the same as countless others with no answer in sight. We will apply the brakes when we are at a slower speed (<30mph) and the brakes will fail. They pulsate, grind, and push in a spongey feel all the way to the floor with very minimal braking results. My wife drives this car with our 3 year old daughter so you can imagine our concern. We are planning to sell the car and get something else, but would like to have the brakes fixed first. But from what i see, nissan is going to do nothing to help and the government must be turning a blind eye to an issue that is obviously a serious safety risk for not just owners of these armadas, but for other drivers and pedestrians walking the streets as well. *kb |
