| Description of the problem | While driving our nissan armada our brake indicator light came on while driving 45mph down a city street. When my wife, who was driving attempted to stop at a stoplight the armada's brakes shuddered, went to the floorplan of the vehicle and become spongy. As this happened nearly all braking capacity disappeared and my wife was barely able to stop. She pulled off the roadway stopped the vehicle and called for a tow service because it had scared her so badly. Upon restarting the vehicle however, the problem disappeared to i, her husband, drove the car home with quite some anxiety and the problem would not replicate itself. I inspected all brake hardware, fluid levels, and there appears to be no actual problem. I am reading about many customers with similar model year nissan titans and armadas having identical problems with no real solution being made by nissan north america. What do i do? I am very scared for the safety of my wife and two small children. |
