2004 Nissan Armada

AT RANDOM TIMES, USUALLY WHEN TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE BRAKE LIGHT DISPLAYS ON THE DASH AND IMMEDIATELY THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK APPROPRIATELY. THE BRAKE PEDAL SINKS TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED WHILE MAKING A LOUD GROANING/GRINDING SOUND. THE BRAKES FAIL. I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR BY PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL, TURNING OFF THE MOTOR AND THEN ONCE AUTO RESTARTS THE PROBLEM IS GONE UNTIL NEXT TIME. VERY DANGEROUS. AT HIGHER SPEEDS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURY OR DEATH. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON EXPRESSWAY. HAPPENED IN PARKING LOTS AND ON SIDE STREETS. FRIGHTENING SITUATION. DEALERS ACT IGNORANT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM EVEN THO THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND IT IS THE ABS BOOSTER THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. OTHERS SAID IT IS THE COMPUTER. I SPENT 4 HOURS 2 WKS AGO AT DEALER WHO "FOUND NOTHING." YET THE SITUATION HAS INCREASED FRON A FEW TIMES A YEAR TO 3 TIMES THIS WEEK.

I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AROUND 60MPH ON A SUDDEN BRAKE PADDLE GOT SOFT BRAKES LIGHT ABS LIGHT EVERYTHING CAME ON DASHBOARD.WHENEVER I PRESSED THE BRAKE IT FEELS LIKE NOT PRESSING ANYTHING BUT THE BRAKE WAS STILL WORKING BUT NOT SMOOTH.. IT'S LIKE U PRESSING HARD BRAKE EVERY TIME. BUT WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK EVERYTHING DISAPPEARED FROM DASHBOARD N BRAKE PADDLE STARTED WORKING NORMALLY. SO WHENEVER IT WAS HAPPENING I WAS KEEP RESTARTING THE TRUCK . SO I I WENT TO FIRESTONE THEY SAID I NEED TO CHANGE MASTER CYLINDER FLASH THE BRAKE FLUID ROTORS N PADS ALL WAY AROUND WHICH COST ME ALMOST 1500$ . ONCE THEY DID THOSE SERVICES AFTER COUPLE OF MONTHS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING AGAIN. NOW FIRESTONE SAID IT'S ABS PROBABLY. I LOOKED ONLINE LOTS OF HAD SAME THIS UNKNOWN PROBLEM N IT'S DANGEROUS.. IT'S POINTI ON ITS RELIABILITY .. I CAN'T EVEN SELL THE TRUCK CZ I DON'T WANT TO PUT ANYONE'S LIFE IN DANGER SO PLZ I REALLY THIS IT'S NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE BY DEALER . THANK YOU

I'VE MADE SOME RESEARCH AND I'M SURPRISED TO FIND OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. SOMETIMES WITHOUT NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AS YOU TRY TO BRAKE YOU HEAR A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND LOOSE BRAKING POWER. I PULL OVER TURN OFF THE TRUCK FOR A FEW SECONDS, TURN IT BACK ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES AWAY. IT WORKS GOOD AFTER THAT BUT SOMETIMES I GET THE SAME PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGH OUT THE DAY. IT GETS SCARY WHEN TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPS AND THAT HAPPENS. NISSAN SHOULD REALLY MAKE A RECALL ON THIS.

TAKATA INFLATORS PASANGER SIT DOSENT SENSE THERES A PERSON ON THE SIT AIRBAG IS OFF ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN DRIVING AND THERE'S A ADULT HEAVY PERSON ON THE SIT I'VE TRIED SEVERAL FRIENDS HEAVY PERSONS AND IT'S ALWAYS OFF EVEN WHEN DRIVING ANY SPEED ..... REAR BRAKES DON'T WORK PROPERLY WHEN DRIVING IN REGULAR STREET 25 MILLES SUDDENLY EMERGENCY LIGHT TURNS ON AND BACK BREAKS SOUND LIKE THEY ARE LOOSE AND DON'T STOP CAR HAD TO TURN CAR OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF STREET AND THEN TURN IT ON TO RESET BRAKES AND THEN IT WORKS FINE FOR A DAY OR 2 OR A WEEK NOT SURE WHEN BUT ITS VERY OFTEN

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROADWAY WHEN THE BRAKE, VDC, ABS AND 4X4 LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. THE CAR ALSO STARTED MAKING A BONGING GRINDING AND VIBRATING WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I CHECKED TO SEE IF I COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING SO I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON BUT THE NOISE AND VIBRATING HAD STOPPED. I MADE IT HOME WITHOUT IT MAKING THE NOISE AGAIN. THE NEXT WEEKS WENT BY AND ALL THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON AND IT MAKES THE NOISE AND VIBRATION EACH TIME I TURN THE CAR ON BUT AND I PRESSED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES IT GOES AWAY EXPECT THE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON NOW.

BREAK WAS FIXED AS PART OF RECALL BUT NOW THE SAME PROBLEM REAPPEARED. THE DEALER SAYS FIX WAS ONE OFF AND NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. SPENT HOURS IN MANY DIFFERENT CALLS TO 1-800-NISSAN1. THEY ARE GIVING ME RUN AROUND AND NOT AUTHORIZING THE SAME DEALER TO REDO THE RECALLED COMPONENTS. THE NISSAN AGENT REFUSED TO CONSIDER IT A SAFTY RECALL ISSUE. NISSAN CREATED CASE NUMBER: 26306021 AGENT ID: 7319032

TAKATA RECALL "ABS BRAKING SYSTEM ,ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILS THE BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS BRAKEL LIGHT, TICS LIGHT ALL COME ON INSTRUMENT PANEL,WHEN STEPPING ON BRAKE PEDAL, THEN A WIERD NOISE SOUND THEN BRAKE PEDAL SINKS TO FLOOR WITH THE BRAKES GRABBING AND LOCKING UP CAUSING TIRES TO LOCK AND SLIDE, THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY SOMETIMES TWICE IN THE SAME TIME ,THEN IT MIGHT GO WITHOUT OCCURRING FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS AT A TIME, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I JUST HAPPEN TO KNOW SOMEWHAT HOW TO DEAL WITH PROBLEM, AS I'M APPLYING BRAKES WHEN IT ALWAYS HAPPEN, BUT IF I WAS BRAKING HEAVILY AND IT HAPPEN NO WAY ,WOULD I NOT CRASH INTO WHAT EVER IN FRONT OF ME, IT ONLY HAPPENS WHILE TRUCK IS IN MOTION , AND DURING BRAKING.
