| Description of the problem | The abs and brake light came on and brakes would not work. I could feel vibrations and heard grinding whenever i attempted to apply the brakes. After pulling over and restarting the vehicle while waiting for assistance, i noticed the brake light did not come on. I pulled off to test the brakes at this point and they worked fine. The problem occurred again on september 1, 2014 while driving at minimal speed, but only the brake light came on when the braking system failed. Again, after coasting to the side of the road and restarting the vehicle, the brake light turned off and the brakes were operational. After having the braking system checked i was told that the computer diagnostic showed code 1179. I called nissan's corporate number to report the incident and was off handedly told that all 2008 nissan armadas are not experiencing the problem. My vehicle is currently being inspected by the central nissan dealership in houston texas, and i will report the findings to the north american nissan corporation. |
