| Description of the problem | I was driving one day with my 3 kids in the car and the vdc slip and brake light came on out of no where. I contacted the dealer and i brough the vehicle in to have it checked after paying for them to diagnosis it they said they found nothing wrong with it. The light continued to ccome on several times and each time i would take it in and they would say nothing was wrong. One particular day i was driving with my 3 kids and i went to stop and the brakes began to do a pulsing action and sounded as though they were grinding and the car would not stop. I started to cry and panic because i had all of my kids in the car and had no idea what to do so i put the car in neutral and let the car roll and just pulled away from traffic as much as i could. Finally i pulled into a parking lot where i hit the breaks and emergency break to make it stop. I placed the car in park and was terrified to drive after that so i contacted the dealer and asked if i could bring it in immediately. Once at the dealer i was told again nothing was wrong and that my brakes were fine and they did not find anything. The same thing happen to me 2 more times and still no one seems to find anything wrong. My brakes have been replaced and each time i press on them i am terrified that the car is not gonna stop. The brakes always feel as though they aren't gonna stop and they have an uneasy feeling when you press them. I cannot claim the car as a lemon because i bought it used with 29,000 miles which is not alot. I feel that there is a defect in the brake system for the nissan armada because my car did not have alot of miles when this started and it is still having issues. |
