| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 armada and i experienced the abs/brake/vdc light coming on. Took it to the dealer and they could not find anything wrong. They reset the computer and added fluid to the master cylinder. This happened after having the vehicle for 13 months. Symptoms: brake peddle fell to the floorboard, grinding was felt and heard, dash brake light came on. It felt like the brake pads fell off the calipers and the calipers and rotors were rubbing against each other to stop the truck, which didn't happen. I had roughly 20% braking power, compared to normal, when this occurred. I have had bake work done over and over again and the issue continue to come back and it's very random. My cousin whom has a 2005 nissan armada also call me today complaining about the same issue. Did more research and found this web site http://townhall-talk. Edmunds. Com/direct/view/. F0ffea4 were there were over 100 post of people complaining about the exact same issue with there armada. Lucky i have not had an accident with this issue, but i feel as if my day is coming. My vehicle is paid off, and i don't feel as if this is a normal wear and tear issue of the vehicle, and i don't want to have to purchase another vehicle because nissan is refusing to repair an safety issue with one if it vehicles. Please help, resolving this issue could prevent me or someone else from having an accident but more importantly it could help save someone's life. Please please please look at the web site i provided. I feel as if the there may not be a lot of complaints about this issue because people don't know how to report issues. |
