| Description of the problem | I was slowing down getting ready to enter a parking lot. I started to press the brakes, and then the brake light on the dash turns on. I heard grinding and the vehicle keep moving but the brakes wouldn't work. I placed the flashers on. I then turned off the armada. I restarted it and everything seemed fine after that. But now i'm scared, that the vehicle is not safe for me or my family. What if this had happened to me on a freeway? I called central houston nissan (houston, tx) and they seemed to be bothered with me calling about this complaint. And there are many others with the same complaint. And nissan doesn't want to admit any fault? I hope that no one gets injured or worse from this... [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
