The brake light on the control panel lights up and when stepping on the brake pedal the vehicle does not brake, instead is feels like it's skidding. when this happens i have to slowly try to pull over and come to a stop to then turn the vehicle off. when i restart the vehicle is it usually starts performing normally again and the brakes work fine. this is a huge safety concern for me due to the fact that i never know when this is going to happen again. what if it happens while i need to come to a quick emergency stop?! thankfully i am a safe driver and always drive within the speed limits which helps me bring the vehicle to a stop quicker.
While driving the brake light will illuminate and the brakes will fail while being pressed. when the the light comes on the brake booster fails to operate and the while will not stop. there was a lawsuit filed against nissan back in 2014 for a delta stoke sensor which is what nissan calls the brake booster. when i looked up my vehicle with nissan no recall was issued yet my vehicle falls within the same year. this is a major safety concern that needs to be looked into.
My wife was driving my children on the highway at approximately 55mph and the 'brake' icon suddenly flashed red on the dash. my wife attempted to apply the brakes and they did not function or respond other than by making a grinding noise. the pedal was able to go to the floor but with no braking accomplished. to stop the vehicle she had to downshift and let it coast to a stop in a parking lot that was fortunately on her path of travel. there are no leaks in the braking system and the nearby nissan dealership said it had thrown a c1179 code for a brake booster sensor. turns out this is a common issue with these models and nissan lost a class action lawsuit about the issue in california in 2014. several other owners have reported the exact same scenario on various nissan forums. it is a wonder my wife and children were not in an accident.
I was driving to pick up my daughter at work when i came to a stop at an intersection the brakes seemed fine but when the light turned green i was making a left turn and as i was turning i put my foot on the brake and the brakes went in and i heard a very loud grinding sound and i could feel the vibration under my feet then i noticed the brake light come on so i pulled off the road but realized it wasn't a safe spot so luckily i was near a turn off so i pulled into a parking lot very slowly and put the car in park. the brake light remained on until i turned the vehicle off. i called my husband and he came, checked all the brakes, the brake fluid and checked to see if there was fluid leaking anywhere but he didn't find anything wrong so he started the vehicle and the brake light was off so he drove it home while i drove his car but it didn't happen again. i've read that many people have had the same issue with nissan armada. i would like to add that this ...
Brake light on while driving, braking noise and poor braking, very scary situation. felt insecure. stooped engine and car started working fine again.
Several indicator lights have come on: abs, vdc, slip, etc. the nissan dealership has attributed the issue to the abs actuator. this, according to many nissan owners, is an issue with the armada between 2004 and 2010. outside of the indicator lights, i do not have a mechanical issue that others have reported. however, the descriptions of unintended braking as described by other armada owners is disconcerting. nissan has been issued a recall regarding passenger cars from 2016-2018 with abs actuator issues. there is a history of a problem with the abs systems for the company.
Within the last two months the abs light will appear on the dash accompanied by a loud vibration and a loss of braking power. i had the brakes replaced and that did not fix the problem. this is dangerous and could lead to a loss of braking ability on corners and at highway speeds leading to a crash. also within the past few months the fuel guage has started to show more fuel in the tank than what is actually in the tank. i called the dealership and provided the vin and they said that the fuel level sensor recall service had already been performed on this vin.
Brake light comes on while diving ,when i apply brakes there is a spongy feeling , its like when you bleed brakes. then an awful grinding noise comes from under the vehicle. its happened 3 times since i've had car used and i've only had it 6 months. luckily no one was around and i was able to pull over. turned off the car and it was gone on all occasions. i am very scared to drive my children and grandchild around this is very scary and could cause injury or even death if on a winding road in snow or rain. i don't know what to do i cant afford new car.
Seat belt missing for rear back seat, delta sensor went out on me in a parking lot and i almost had an accident because my brakes wouldn't engage, and now my airbag spiral cable are now not working.
I am writing this due to that what is going on with mine and i am sure it is happening to others as well i am a mother of three young kids (9,10, and 3) this is my daily driver. on three occasions since october 2017 when i am about stop the brake light turns on and the brakes get hard and sound like a stretching spring it's happened on all highways and making left turns. once i pull over or stop i shut it off for five seconds and turn on car and light is gone and brakes are back to normal it would happen every two months to know every three weeks now this a very scary situation we have check brakes and booster and take it to mechanics and nothing happens no codes no nothing please help i'm starting to feel unsafe in the vehicle.
Brake pedal goes to the floor and pulsates and won't stop at times need to pull over and restart truck !
Two times in the past 2 months i have experienced while driving, my brake light lighting up and my brakes failing. my pedal would go down farther, grinding noises could be heard, and it was very hard to stop my vehicle. i pulled over as carefully as possible, stopped slowly, and turned my engine off. i then restarted and everything was fine, no brake light, no noise, no issue pushing the brake pedal. i didn't think much about it until it happened again. i know nissan will not do anything about it because the brake light is off and it is not an issue right now. i know they are also aware of this problem with my make, model, and year of car and they settled a class action lawsuit out of court that i was not involved in because i didn't have the problem at that point. both times it happened while traveling on city streets, once i was going about 35mph the other about 45mph. i am more than afraid because we do occasionally travel on mountain roads and i have no idea how i would handle this situation if it happened while driving downhill.
My "brake" light is randomly coming on when i'm braking or just driving on a city road or on the highway. there is a grinding noise when i brake in any of these driving situations. it's been doing this for about 4 years. i've had it looked at several times, but nothing is being identified. i've been reviewing a forum that is identifying this same issue with many other armadas. it seems to be the booster sensors, which is a very expensive repair.
While transmission is in drive, and proceeding down the road, has happen at speeds between 10mph up to 70mph. the emergency brake light on the dashboard goes on. within 5-10 seconds hearing a grinding sound coming from the front of the car, sounds like coming from breaks in addition to a spring like sound and a reduction of breaking power. this continues until you pull off the road, and turn off the car and turn it back on. once the car is reset it appears to fix the problems. i purchased the car at with approximately 69k miles on it, it currently has roughly 114k miles on it and has happen approximately 3 times since 95k miles. i have taken the vehicle to a dealership and have explained the issue. they advised they have heard of this, but there is no recall for the vin number on my armada. that this would require a technician to provide a software update. this should be able to fix the problem, but not guarantee. approximately take 1-2 hours for a technician to do this and i would be responsible to pay. ...
Brake light comes on, brakes pulsate and make a grinding and clunking noise. the brakes grab causing the vehicle to apply to much brake pressure at times. other times it doesn't apply enough pressure. this occurs as the vehicle is coming to a stop.
