| Description of the problem | We were driving the vehicle on the highway and all the sudden the brake light came on, as the light came on the brakes gave an anti-lock type response. As this was happening, we were trying to pull to the side of the road and slow down, because if this ongoing reaction though, our brakes were not working to slow the vehicle. We probably had about 25% braking power. This also happened to my wife on the road as she was traveling at 35 miles and hour. Exact same issue only two days earlier. From what i've read online it is a defective delta stroke sensor and brake booster. And seems to be very common in the armada, titan, and infiniti qx vehicles. This is an extreme safety hazard. Should this happen at a stop light and we can't stop we would roll right into the intersection, creating a hazard to us and our children. The only way to fix the issue is to turn of the car and it reboots to saying the brake is off. |
