| Description of the problem | On march 18, 2014 the brake petal goes to the floor when applied and brake warning lights comes on dash. Vehicle makes very loud grinding noises when brakes petal are applied. I have virtually no brakes when this occurs. I pulled the vehicle to the side of road when the vehicle coasted to a stop. However i after the shut off engine and restart the mysteriously goes away. On the april 14, 2014 the same problem with the reoccurs and again i applied the same remedy by shutting off the engine and problem mysteriously goes away. I'm afraid that will be ongoing problem and other 2005 & 2006 nissan armada have complained about this same problem. On april 15, 2014 i took the vehicle in question back decomier nissan (manchester ct) i was charged to reset the computer $124. 16. The dealer could find problem due to no codes available i'm not sure that this will correct the problem. If this doesn't solve it the next set of diagnostics a pin test will cost me $440. I explained to them my findings on the internet and that a lot of 2005 & 2006 armada owners have experience this incident they did not offer much in the way of a explanation. This is a very scary and uncomfortable position to be in and thank god no vehicle or pedestrian was in front of me. The next time i may not be so lucky!!!
