| Description of the problem | This is the second time the vehicle lost brakes, fortunately at low speed. Brake light comes on, terrible noise comes from the brakes and it is difficult to stop. Exactly 1 year ago, we had several incidents and took it to a nissan dealership. They said they found a code c1170 and performed a reprogramming of the computer. This is intermittent so it didn't happen again until almost a year later. This is very dangerous and nissan seems unable or unwilling to address the problem. We could have killed people had there been more traffic. After turning off truck and turning back on, the problem resolves. But we never know when it will happen again. We feel like we are driving a ticking time bomb. This issue needs to be addressed as we have met 4 other people in our local area with armadas and they all have experienced the same thing! |
