| Description of the problem | My husband purchased an 06 nissan armada. While he was driving on the freeway he went to slow down and the brake light came on and the pedal went to the floor and made a weird grinding noise. He pulled over and shut the vehicle off. Was waiting for a tow truck to arrive. After he restarted it, it drove fine. Took it to nissan themselves and they found nothing but recommended a brake booster. This has happened multiple times to us. Again just recently, i was with my daughter in the vehicle and had to run through a red light because i was unable to stop. The emergency brake light came on but the brake was not engaged. There was a loud grinding noise as if i needed rotors. I let the vehicle slow down and i pulled over in a safe area and shut the vehicle off. After restarting it after 5 mins the vehicle drove fine. I had my father hook his code reader up and we came up with a code c1179 which is a delta stroke sensor. Researched the code and found that nissan had multiple lawsuits for this issue but never issued a recall for it. I contacted nissan themselves about this issue and the gentleman that i spoke to at nissan told me that since my vehicle was not built in a certain factory they would not fix the issue and that his suggestion was that if i had a good repoire with the nissan dealership close to me they may be able to help me with the cost. The lawsuit never specified a certain factory the vehicles came out of. It stated 2004-2008 nissan titan and armada or infinity qx56. I could not believe that nissan is aware of this issue, has been sued not once but multiple times and is still refusing to deal with the issue. |
