| Description of the problem | While traveling on the highway (50mph) red brake light came on dash and when applying pressure to the brakes, grinding noise immediately began and pedal pressure was not available. Almost full pedal travel to the floor board. At the time, abs was kicking in and brakes were not working properly.

Had to turn the car off and restart the car in order for the brakes to work properly again. After research, this is a confirmed and known problem by nissan of america with the brake booster/delta sensor in armada and titan trucks manufactured by nissan. |
