| Description of the problem | Second time this has occurred. Brakes went out, grinding, had to push hard on the pedal and brake light came on. Was in a parking lot and was very lucky that i didn't hit another person. Had my children in the car with me. My mechanic states that my delta stroke sensor is out and i have to replace the power brake booster assembly unit. This is a $1,000 fix. Called nissan and they will charge me more and say they have not recalls on this or found issues. Not true. There hundreds of reports out there that list these exact symptoms with armada brakes. There is a class action law suit pending since 2011 but someone needs to make nissan correct this problem now before there are casualties from accidents when the brakes go out. |
