| Description of the problem | 'was driving and getting ready to stop on a 3 way stop intersection, as soon as i step on the brake , a grinding noise was heard coming from the brakes at the same time the brake light on the dash came on. Seems like the brakes lock up and it's hard to make a full stop. Fortunately, 'was able to pull over on the side of the road. Turned key in the ignition switch on and off, the brake light on the dash disappeared and the grinding noise went away. This is the second time these incidents happened. The first time it happened (about a year ago- same issue), i brought the armada to mossy nissan poway. They have to re-code the ecu and i have to pay something like $300 for the work done. Nissan should do something about this safety issue. Nhtsa, please order a recall for this vehicle before an injury or something fatal happens to anyone who drives it. *js |
