| Description of the problem | While driving on the road at slow normal speed the brake pedal went to floor no braking available with kids in my car this is a known problem with nissan armada brake debooster valve equipped with delta sensor . Safety issue that needs to be a recall to resolve this problem. During this no braking the abs light illuminates and slip warning and brake warning light illuminates the only way to resolve this is by safely pulling over and turning the ignition off which then might resolve this problem. Took my car to the dealership they exactly know what the problem is they got the code c1179 which clearly outlines a bad delta sensor within the brake debooster valve . I believe nissan has know this problem and has not yet made a recall o this issue will like the transport safety board look into this electrical, software , mechanical problem before it's too late whereby innocent lives could be lost . There needs to be a safety recall . The dealership also wants to charge for the software upgrade and yet said this might not fix the problem but if it happens again then the brake debooster valve would have to be replaced , i am shocked to know that they know it's a safety issue but yet tend to ignore this problem frustrated consumer . |
