Description of the problem	Sometime in mid august 2008, my wife and daughter were out running errands in our 2006 armada. She came home and told me about the "brake" light coming on, severe front end "shuddering" as she applied the brakes and difficulty stopping. I went out to the vehicle, turned it on, the brake light was not on. I drove the vehicle around for about 20 minutes with no problems. I did slow even stops, hard "emergency type" stops, braking around corners. Not a single problem. I checked the brake fluid, it was slightly above the minimum line, so i topped it off with the prescribed brake fluid. The car operated just fine until sept 12, 2008 at approx. 4:50 pm when at 40 mph i approached a two way stop sign, applied the brakes, and nothing happened, i frantically pumped the brakes, until the wall in front of me was close and i instinctively put my hands in front of my face. The vehicle hit the curb at a 90 degree angle, jumped the curb, crashed through a safety sign, and then crashed through a 18-24" sewer line that had yet to be buried. In fact the armada almost rolled as it was riding on top of a piece of the severed sewer line. I called 911, and then smelled gasoline. Hazmat was called because the fuel line was ruptured by the sign going underneath the vehicle. Luckily nobody was coming the other way. I was transported via ambulance, diagnosed with a "deep chest contusion" from the seat belts. Air bags did not deploy. As of this writing on 10/17/08 nissan of north america is still "reviewing" the results of the independent 3rd party they sent out to test the car. They have told me this review by their engineering and legal departments could take several more weeks.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
