| Description of the problem | As i am driving my 2006 nissan armada, my brake light illuminates on my dashboard and i loose braking power. Clunking/springing noises simultaneously begin. It becomes very difficult to stop the vehicle. When the vehicle is turned off and on, the problem disappears. There is no common factor as to when this problem occurs. Recently, the vehicle was reprogrammed - a repair nissan indicated would fix the problem. Yet, the problem continues to occur and nissan is unable or unwilling to determine the cause of the problem to date. A search of the internet shows that this problem is quite common for owners of 2006 nissan armadas, give or take a few years. |
