| Description of the problem | I was in stop and go traffic when a grinding/springy sound came out from under and the :brake" light came on. I had no control over the brake pedal, it would go all the way down to the floor but would not stop, luckily i was on a flat road so it didn't move forward or backwards. I was still able to drive the car to a safe spot and used my emergency brakes to get there. If i were going at a high speed, i don't know what would have happened. You can replace a car, but you can't replace a person. I have an 8 month old baby who needs me. My brother in law is a mechanic for all types of cars and has been for years, he told me this is a well known problem with armadas (04-07). Mine is an 06. At this point i have to keep turning off my car and back on to restart some computer? I am not good with cars. If this happens at a high speed and i can't stop because of this issue it is on your hands. You know there is a problem, yet do nothing about it. This armada is a deathtrap. I do not feel safe in it, but i don't have the money to buy another vehicle. My brother in law suspects it is the abs,vdc,brake malfunction. I was speaking to someone else about this issue, and they said they had the same issue on their, and once when a light turn red and he tried to stop he couldn't and ended up in the middle of an intersection. Does someone have to die before anything is done? |
