| Description of the problem | I have a 2008 nissan armada, bought it new and my wife use to tell me that the brakes would grind and the brake light would go on, i use to think she was crazy, now that i drive the car my self i knew she was right, when we step on the brake petal the brakes start grinding and the brake comes on we have 3 children and is pretty scary when we try to stop and completely loose brake power, when my wife first told me i took it to the dealer and they couldn't check for the problem since it had to be doing it when i took it well then it didn't do it often, then i took it one time while it was doing it and the dealer told me that they new exactly what it was but couldn't do anything about it since i was out off warranty. I think is ridiculous that the manufacturer knows exactly what the problem is but they won't do nothing about it since their is no recall, i think nhtsa needs to step in and issue a recall as we know their is a lot of people who have the same problem, i have 3 children and a wife and don't us to be the next victim of an accident. Is not like we paid pennies for this car, hope you guys can do something about it before someone gets hurt or worse loose a love one |
