| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 nissan armada suv and since i have owned it i have had 4 separate instances of little or no brakes issue. The dash "brake" light comes on and if you apply the brakes you hear and feel the abs system working... Giving you little or no brakes when needed. I have research the issue and found many with the same problem with there nissan armada's. Nissan is aware of the problem but no fix in place yet... And no recall. Someone is going to get killed or kill other with there 6000lb suv that can't stop when this issue happens. I feel i should not have to pay for a service call on this issue... This is a safety issue! The brake system is fine 95% of the time... But you never know when this will pop up and you have no brakes! If the suv is shut off and restarted it goes away and drives and brakes normal.... Till whatever triggers this issue shows up again at some point in the future. Nissan needs to get this fixed and have a recall asap! I love my nissan but this scares me! My wife drives this suv most of the time with our 4 kids in it. Some have had a tbs done to the suv but it comes back over time. How do we go about getting this fix? |
