| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 nissan armada for the past several months my brakes have been acting up. When i am driving my brake light comes on and i go to stop and the i can't stopmakeing a horrible noise. I have to stop my vehicle where ever i am driving and stop the car as soon as possible. I have to put it in park, shut the car off and then after a few seconds and then restart my car. This has happened several time since november and recently has happened twice in the same week . This is not safe and is an accident waiting to happen when you can't stop your car. I did take it to the dealership but since they could not find anyhting they sent me away saying that my rotors have dust on them and i can pay est $100 to pay to have them cleaned. Then recently within the last week ; my husband took the car up there when he was driving it and it did the same thing but they would not see him due to how busy they were alreay in the service department. My family is very important to me and putting them in this car is the scarest thing i have to do on the daily what happens when the brakes dont work ?? This really should be a recall to the vehicle because this is not normal and definitely is a safety issue. I hope nissan can see that our lives are worth more than whatever the amount they would pay to have all of these cars fixed please nissan please. Next stop bbb!!!!!!! |
