| Description of the problem | I was driving to pick up my daughter at work when i came to a stop at an intersection the brakes seemed fine but when the light turned green i was making a left turn and as i was turning i put my foot on the brake and the brakes went in and i heard a very loud grinding sound and i could feel the vibration under my feet then i noticed the brake light come on so i pulled off the road but realized it wasn't a safe spot so luckily i was near a turn off so i pulled into a parking lot very slowly and put the car in park. The brake light remained on until i turned the vehicle off. I called my husband and he came, checked all the brakes, the brake fluid and checked to see if there was fluid leaking anywhere but he didn't find anything wrong so he started the vehicle and the brake light was off so he drove it home while i drove his car but it didn't happen again. I've read that many people have had the same issue with nissan armada. I would like to add that this is the first time it happened but it's one time too many because i'm lucky i didn't have an accident. |
