| Description of the problem | September 25, 2007 my 2006 nissan armada 4x2 lost braking power. I was traveling on a quiet road near the nissan dealership so i took my foot off the gas and rolled to a stop. Deland nissan said the delto sensor malfunctioned and had to be reprogramed. They also replaced the brake booster. I was told by the service manager, bill warfield, that this has occured to other owners and is the solution given by nissan. The problem has been rectified on the 2008 nissan armadas. Ther is no recall, even though this is occuring to other armada owners. This is a life threatening defect. How can nissan be made to recall these vehicles before someone is killed? |
