| Description of the problem | While driving home from work my brake light appear on my dash board. I approached a red light when my i found it very difficult to apply the brake. I heard a loud noise and grinding coming from the front end of my 2008 armada. My suv stopped with in inches of rear ending a car very scary. I pulled my truck into a parking lot, turned it off and then back on again. This seemed to reset the light. I called the dealership to see if this was a know problem and they said it was i need to have my brake booster replaced at a cost of 820. 00 plus tax. This would be an out of cost expense because my truck is out of warranty. If this is a know problem why won't nissan recall this part before someone gets killed. |
