| Description of the problem | I was on my way home from work and a car cut me off ,i stepped on my brakes and the brakes went down to the floor and i heard and felt a grinding noise. I immediately swerved into the dirt and thank god there was no vehicles parked in the area i had turned into. I noticed my brake light was on . I then slowly made my way home and parked in the driveway. I called the dealership and made an appointment to have my truck checked. On 10/6/14 ,i drove my truck very slow and carefully to the dealership. On 10/7/14 ,i was told a code #c1179 delta sensor was bad and the brake booster assembly needed to be replaced. I went on line to research this problem and discovered numerous complaints regarding this matter . It is a major factory defect with armadas ,titan and qx56 models from 04 to present and nissan refuses to acknowledge it. |
