| Description of the problem | As i was driving entering the interstate from the on ramp a car in front of me hit their brakes. As i went to apply my brakes they made a loud grinding sound, the brake light flashed and the brakes did not work. I had to swerve to the shoulder to avoid a crash. Drove car to nearest nissan dealership doing approx 20mph and avoiding other vehicles. When i got there i shut off vehicle and had the service dept test drive, but the problem had reset itself once the vehicle was shut off and restarted (found this out online afterwards when researching and discovering this is a common problem with armadas.) they said there was nothing they could do since the problem could not be replicated. This has since happened three more times and nissan is still refusing to assist with fixing the problem. |
