Driving in traffic causes brakes to lock as if the parking brakes were set. i have to pull over safely to the side of the road and place the vehicle in park, press on the parking foot brake to engage and disengage the brakes, turn off and on the vehicle to "reset" the brakes. it happened a few times especially on the freeway. in all multiple occasions nearly rear ending the vehicle in front of me especially when i have my family with me in the vehicle. when this occurs the brake light comes on, on the dash. happens on both the freeway and the city streets in motion and once when the brakes was press in traffic.
While i was driving i applied the brakes and didn't have any and it made a loud sound i coasted to a stop turned car off. called mechanic they came out and i had a blown fuse for my abs system they replaced it but now i am wondering if this will happen again?
Is giving a delta stroke sensor c1179 and also suddenly the brake lights turns on and can't use the brakes and i have to turn it off and on again and it will go away but it happens even if i am on the highway and it worries me. please let me know what is this code because nobody seems to know. this has happened a couple of times
Brake booster randomly failing. brake booster not working randomly. original part, never replaced
The abs hydraulic brake senors have now been replaced twice on my armada. the brakes will drop to the floor and make all kind of noises won't stop. there had been a recall for all other vins than mine. dealership said there was nothing they could do other than start changing other parts on my dime. nissan of america has told me the same thing. we have nearly been in several wrecks. i do not want my wife to end up in one because of this truck. just bought the second set of these yesterday and nearly hit someone again today. since i keep a good distance between other traffic and myself is the only reason we haven't been a wreck yet.
Started having a issue with my brakes on my nissan armada. when you pressed on the brakes, they would go to the floor and would not work and the brake light would go on. after pulling over and turning the vehicle off and back on the brake light would go off and the brakes would work again. i googled the problem and found that nissan knew about this issue and settled a class action law suit regarding it. i took the vehicle to the dealership and it was the delta stroke sensor. nissan knew there was a problem but has not recalled the vehicles. in fact this problem is not limited to the armada. my family and i could have been killed because of this issue including others that were on the road when the brakes went out. https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/45486-nissan-reaches-brake-defect-class-action-settlement/

Takata recall brakes not working while driving and pulses and fuel gage not working while driving and parked.
Purchased vehicle used in may 2015, my trusted mechanic checked it out september 2015 and reported back it was in good condition with no issues. july 2016 experienced break failure at 15 miles an hour. again my mechanic troubleshooted the issues and said the power break booster needed to be replaced. he then referred me to nissan for possible replacement since it is a safety issue. i spoke with corporate nissan who advised me to take it to our local nissan dealership to prove the issue existed, for any potential compensation. after taking the vehicle to nissan they concluded reprogramming the delta stroke sensor would resolve the problem; which i had to pay $300 to have this done. on october 2016 inoperable break failure occurred again at 65 miles an hour while on the interstate, as i was approaching an exit ramp. this same issue occurred twice in one day, just a week later. once as i left work going 40 miles an hour, my dashboard lit up with vdc and skid lights, in addition to my break failure light. the second time occurred going down a city street where i had to do ...
While attempting to stop, without warning the brake light comes on and the brake pedal basically goes to the floor and barely works to stop the truck. the brakes grind as it is pushed. if you turn the vehicle off it seems to reset itself. we almost hit someone today trying to stop at a red light. the vehicle was moving at roughly 15-20 mph when the issue started (today). we were on a city street, braking to stop. it seems to be a consistent problem with these vehicles and i am boggled at the fact that no one is requiring nissan to take any responsibility. eventually someone is going to get very hurt. having little to no control over your braking is very scary, especially with my little one in the truck with me . this is a large vehicle and would do a lot of damage if it were to hit someone the next time this happens. this seems to happen once every 2-4 weeks or so. it appears to be random.
I have had the same issue that many people are explaining here. i'll be driving down the road and out of no where the dash brake light will turn on. when i try to break, the brake pedal will push down to the floor and it will sound like is grinding and almost sound like a spring is loose inthere. but when i turn the car off and then turn it on, it goes away. i had this problem for a few months now and this is an accident waiting to happen, i just hope it doesn't do it on the freeway..

Takata recall i experience surprise excelleration three times, once resulting in a minor vehicle accident with minor body damage. all three occurred on a city street while in starting motion going straight ahead.
Reading the complaints and found others the same as mine. have taken the nissan to the dealer at least three, maybe four times, complaining of the emergency brake engaging while driving when the emergency brake was off. this has happened when entering a freeway (highway) and driving on a city street. when taken to the dealer they could not find anything wrong. while i appreciate that others have the same problem and it is not a fluke, it is disconcerting and dangerous. the last time this happened was 7/23/16!
