| Description of the problem | My husband was backing up in the armada when the break light came on for no real reason. The breaks sounded as though they were grinding or slipping. The breaks did not stop the car properly anymore . We pulled into gas station where we shut the car off . When restarting it the break light was off and breaks worked normal again. 1day while driving the breaks did it again, i could barely stop the armada. Only way to fix it was to shut car off. I have read that this is a break booster malfunction. This needs to be address by nissan before people are killed from loss of breaks! There are multiple complaints from people on line with the same issue and stories of the armada breaks failing. |
