| Description of the problem | I have owned my nissan armada since 2006. This past week as i was driving around town at 30 mph or so, i brake and the emergency brake light came on and the brakes made a spongy choking noise. I came to a stop (with difficulty) and turned off and turned on the car. This has happened two more times and i am told by the same dealer that i bought it from that it may help to get a new abs sensor on it for more than $1000 but 'there are no guarantees that this will work'. I have researched and it seems as if many people are having this issue. It is very unsafe and scary. I don't mind paying for a repair but when the issue is this severe and there is not consensus on how to repair it i am at a loss at what to do. Please issue a recall on this defect. |
