| Description of the problem | While transmission is in drive, and proceeding down the road, has happen at speeds between 10mph up to 70mph. The emergency brake light on the dashboard goes on. Within 5-10 seconds hearing a grinding sound coming from the front of the car, sounds like coming from breaks in addition to a spring like sound and a reduction of breaking power. This continues until you pull off the road, and turn off the car and turn it back on. Once the car is reset it appears to fix the problems. I purchased the car at with approximately 69k miles on it, it currently has roughly 114k miles on it and has happen approximately 3 times since 95k miles. I have taken the vehicle to a dealership and have explained the issue. They advised they have heard of this, but there is no recall for the vin number on my armada. That this would require a technician to provide a software update. This should be able to fix the problem, but not guarantee. Approximately take 1-2 hours for a technician to do this and i would be responsible to pay. Spoke to nissan usa and they view the software upgrade as regular service maintenance. This issue has seemed to be common in armada's from 2004 to 2008, based on what has been listed on several forums. Example: http://www. Clubarmada.
