| Description of the problem | While traveling down the road, the brakelight comes on. When pressing the brake pedal there is not the same amount of braking pressure and the abs starts sounding off, creating a lot of noise. The brake feel becomes overly grabby and inconsistent. This has happened at least a dozen times to me personally as well as my wife. When the vehicle is shut off and then turned back on it seems to reset and work as normal, until it does it again. Please help! This had recently happened 4 times in the last 1 week. This has occurred 2 years ago. I went to the dealer. They reprogrammed something and has been good for a while, but now it is back. I took vehicle in to service on july 9th 2012 is part of a tsb to have the computer flashed or updated. Did not solve problem, it happened again today. This is becoming a serious and life threatening issue with brake failure on this nissan armada. |
