2007 Nissan Armada

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN ARMADA THIS IS ABOUT THE 5TH TIME THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WHEN YOU TRY TO STOP THE CAR IT WON'T. THE CAR WILL START MAKING GRIND NOISES AND DON'T WON'T TO STOP. WHEN YOU GET IT STOP YOU HAVE TO TURN TO CAR OFF FOR EVERYTHING TO RESET AND IT WORKS FINE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT IF NOT KILLED. *TR

I HAVE HAD THIS RECURRING EXPERIENCE OFF AND ON MORE THAN 10 TIMES FOR AT LEAST THE PAST 4 YEARS. THERE IS NO KNOWN PATTERN OF OCCURRENCE. IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHILE I AM DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR POPPING OR CRUNCHING NOISES BELOW THE VEHICLE AND THEN THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD WILL TURN ON. THEN I FEEL I AM LOOSING THE ABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE AS I CAREFULLY MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT AND POPPING NOISE STILL ON. DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, MY WIFE HAVE STOPPED USING THIS VEHICLE. ONCE SAFELY OFF THE ROAD, THIS PROBLEM IS OFTEN RESOLVED BY TURNING OFF AND ON THE IGNITION AND ALL WILL BE WELL UNTIL THE NEXT OCCURRENCE. HOWEVER, AFTER YESTERDAY'S (09/27/2014) OCCURRENCE WHICH WAS VERY SCARY, I CALLED OUR NEAREST NISSAN DEALER AND SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED NEXT TUESDAY (10/01/2014). OUT OF CURIOSITY, I DECIDED TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND HUNDREDS OF ARMADA OWNERS WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND SENSE OF HELPLESSNESS WITH NISSAN'S RELUCTANCE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO ADDRESS THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE LOSSES THEIR LIFE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DURING RUSH HOUR, BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND PRESSING ON BRAKES HEARD CREAKING AND GRINDING NOISE, BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR AND BARELY STOPPED BEFORE HITTING CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER STOPPING IN PARKING LOT AND TURNING CAR OFF, APPARENTLY RESETTING SENSOR, BRAKES WORKED OK. AUTO TECH CHECKED IT OUT AND GAVE ME CODE C1179. *TR

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE NOT TO ADEQUATELY STOP PROPERLY. ONCE VEHICLE IS POWERED FULLY OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONS NORMAL. NISSAN STATED THEY CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE WITH VEHICLE AND DON'T KNOW WHY AND WHAT CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DANGER. *TR

HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD TRAVELING ABOUT 15MPH. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ONE, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND AS HE APPLIED THE BRAKE, THE CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. IT FINALLY ROLLED TO A STOP AS HE WAS PRESSING THE BREAK COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE GROUND. HE PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. HE RE-STARTED THE CAR AND IT SEEMED TO RESET ITSELF AND DRIVE NORMALLY. WE ARE CONCERNED AS THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON LONG DISTANCES OR JUST ANYWHERE FOR THAT MATTER. WE ARE READING OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND OPERATED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I JUST PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY. RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. AS I AM DRIVING OR SITTING IN TRAFFIC THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND WHEN I TRY TO PUT THE BRAKES ON THERE IS GRINDING AND LOUD NOISES. EACH TIME, I NEED TO PULL OVER OR RIGHT THERE ON THE ROAD, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. ONCE I TURN THE CAR BACK ON THE BRAKE LIGHT SHUTS OFF AND I CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE. DURING AND AFTER THE TIME THE LIGHT IS ON AND SHORTLY AFTER IT TURNS OFF, MY BRAKING DISTANCE IS SHORTENED AND I HAVE TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES A LITTLE HARDER THAN NORMAL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR NOT ONLY ME BUT FOR ALL DRIVERS ESPECIALLY IF I AM IN TRAFFIC. *TR

I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON THE VEHICLE. I CAME UP TO A RED LIGHT WAS MASHING THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR WAS MAKING A FUNNY NOISE IT WAS NOT WANTING TO STOP. I FINALLY GOT STOP PULL INTO THE GAS STATION TURN THE CAR OFF AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPEN TO ME. *TR
