| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2008 armada and when i went to stop at a red light and i lost brake power. There was a horrible grinding sound and the dashboard brake light lit up. After coasting into a parking lot i shut my car off. My husband came and checked the car and drove around the parking lot and everything seemed fine. The warning lights went out and the brakes worked again. We still have a warranty and the dealer can't seem to find a problem. Uh... When me and my kids are in the car and we lose brake power... That's kind of a huge problem. This has been occurring in armada's since 2004. Please someone fix this because i no longer feel safe in my car and the it the entire reason i bought the armada. |
