| Description of the problem | The brake lights signal turns on and a light grinding noise can be heard and brakes go out. I have to stop for a few minutes and turn off my truck. After a few minutes, i turn on the truck and the brake lights turns off and my brakes start working again. This has happened more than twice. Thank god that the times it has happen there has been hardly any traffic. Although, one day it happened on the freeway so i calmed down, release the gas pedal and cruised to the next exit and pulled into a gas station. All this time the brake fluid reservoir is full so after turning off the truck and turning it back on again, that solves the problem. This is very scary because we've been trying to take vacations on the truck and i don't feel safe driving it like this, especially with my three kids in the back. Another issue that i have is the airbag light just stays on and flashing. I've tried having it reset but it doesn't work. We have a 2007 nissan armada also and it has the same issues as my titan. We thought that by buying nissan we wouldn't have any issues, but we were wrong. |
