The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the brake light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact depressed the brake pedal and the pedal dropped to the floor board. The contact was able to stop the vehicle. The brakes performed as normal once he restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer about six different times for a diagnostic test. The technician stated that the master cylinder sensor, the rotors, and the battery would have to be replaced. Brake fluid was also added to the vehicle. The failure continued after the repairs. The vehicle was not repaired a second time. The approximate failure mileage was 6,000.
As I was driving the brake light came on and a very loud noise came on with it. My truck began to lock up and slow down. After trying to step on the brakes to get it to stop several times, it finally came to a stop. I was terrified because I didn't think the truck would stop and I almost ran into the back of someone. After getting the brakes to work, I put the truck in park and turned it off. I sat there in traffic with my hazard lights on and waited for about a minute. I started my truck back up and put it into drive. I drove a few feet and the entire ordeal started all over again. This time after getting it to stop. I put it in park and sat in traffic for about 3-5 minutes with my hazard lights on. After I started it up again, the truck drove fine. This is not the first time this has happened, and I've taken it to several dealerships, but naturally they could find nothing wrong. I reported it to Nissan and each time I took it to them for service, they never found anything wrong with it. I even went on a dashboard on line to see if anyone else was experiencing this problem, and they have. Some say it was the brake booster, but after they got it changed they still had the same problem. I've been experiencing this problem since I have had the truck and when it happened the first time, I was told that sometimes it takes a little longer for the computer to register that the hand brakes are off. I was told this by Nissan service department. This needs to be a safety recall because it truly is a safety issue. This problem has gotten worse as the years go by. Something is wrong and it's something that has been wrong with the vehicle. It only happens at certain times and I have had my brakes inspected, changed, and all of the above. Someone needs to put this out to Nissan and have them issue a recall before someone gets seriously hurt or worse killed.
When I first purchased car the brakes went out at 3000 miles and I've continued to have a problem ever since.Nissan fixed the brake judder but another issue arose.now whenever it wants the brakes just go out.I've had the car in the shop multiple times for this problem.I have to shut car off and restart as if some electrical component is resetting.this has never been fixed and now I'm out of warranty.Nissan can't find the problem or just doesn't want to take the time to fix.this is leading to a very unsafe vehicle because there is no telling when it will happen again.
