2006 Nissan Armada: brake failure

Filed Aug 9, 2022 · Brakes · GA

I was driving on the road and my brake light came on and my brakes failed. As I tried to stop my brakes made a grinding spring noise. I turned the car off and after about 3 minutes I restarted and everything was fine. I continue to drive and less than 10 minutes later it did it again. I have went online to look for information and I see that there was a lawsuit about the booster Delta sensor. I called Nissan and they denied this, and I went to the Nissan dealership and they will check it out because they have not seen any recalls on my vehicle for this problem yet online there's a whole lot of customer complaints about this model doing the exact same thing. Here is the Case# 46966578 Nissan gave me to document the call. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.carcomplaints.com/news/2014/nissan-delta-stroke-sensor-brake-lawsuit.shtml&ved=2ahUKEwiW_sjo1rn5AhXiIEQIHVLABjMQFnoECBsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2DxxR2-Vd0tjpN2-V2JVBq

Brakes failure ( suddenly brake light on ) "I was on my way home from work and a car cut me off,brake lights came on, I stepped on my brakes and the brakes went down to the floor and I heard and felt a grinding noise. I immediately drove out the way and thank god there was no vehicles parked in the area I had turned into. Then after that I did turn off the vehicle then turn it on and everything wors good but anyway driving with a lot concerning that might be happen again. I did take it to the dealer but they said could not find anything wrong, anyway they charge me about $ 200 dollars for the test. Note; this already happened five times, three of them on just one day(02/15/2018) hope that nissan company understand that this defect/ failure is very dangerous and needs to be attended very seriously.

This is my second time with brake failure due to a faulty brake booster. The first time in 2011 and now in 2018. Brake light comes on and grinding noise with very little brake pressure. Taken to dealership brake booster replaced $982. My question is did they replace defective parts with upgrade. It is a well known issue that to me nissan is ignoring till there is a fatal accident. Dealer states delta sensor faulty.

I was going down east chase parkway in fort worth going towards green oaks blvd into arlington texas and my brakes went out. I heard a grinding noise and my truck wouldn't stop. So, I pulled over and car my truck off and on and the problem seemed to go away. I proceeded on my way and they went out again and I almost rear ended a 18-wheeler with my two babies in the car. I immediately ran up on a curb to not hit the semi. And, immediately went to a brakes shop and was told it was my brake booster kit that was attached to the ABS system. That was recalled and since I didn't find out til later and didn't have problems til later on I got screwed and had to pay over $1300.00 dollars to fix it. And, have yet to be reimbursed which I think sucks. *tt

My vehicle is having a complete brake failure. This is happened numerous times since I purchased my vehicle. I called the dealership and there is no recalls on this issue. As I'm driving my brake light comes on and I lose all control of breaking. This has happened numerous times while I've been on 95 with my two kids in the car. I've had my brakes and rotors replaced thinking that was the issue and it happened again when I was on 95 I lose all control of stopping the brake light comes on and I cannot stop my vehicle. I looked up this issue online and there are so many other people having this issue. I hope this gets resolved because I will never buy a nissan vehicle ever again.

My husband purchased an 06 nissan armada. While he was driving on the freeway he went to slow down and the brake light came on and the pedal went to the floor and made a weird grinding noise. He pulled over and shut the vehicle off. Was waiting for a tow truck to arrive. After he restarted it, it drove fine. Took it to nissan themselves and they found nothing but recommended a brake booster. This has happened multiple times to us. Again just recently, I was with my daughter in the vehicle and had to run through a red light because I was unable to stop.the emergency brake light came on but the brake was not engaged. There was a loud grinding noise as if I needed rotors. I let the vehicle slow down and I pulled over in a safe area and shut the vehicle off. After restarting it after 5 mins the vehicle drove fine. I had my father hook his code reader up and we came up with a code c1179 which is a delta stroke sensor. Researched the code and found that nissan had multiple lawsuits for this issue but never issued a recall for it. I contacted nissan themselves about this issue and the gentleman that I spoke to at nissan told me that since my vehicle was not built in a certain factory they would not fix the issue and that his suggestion was that if I had a good repoire with the nissan dealership close to me they may be able to help me with the cost. The lawsuit never specified a certain factory the vehicles came out of. It stated 2004-2008 nissan titan and armada or infinity qx56. I could not believe that nissan is aware of this issue, has been sued not once but multiple times and is still refusing to deal with the issue.

While driving my nissan armada it goes thru a complete loss of brakes when all of a sudden the brake light sensor comes on. It seems to happen in cycles like every month or so but when the car is turned off and then on again the problem disappears, until the next time. This is a definite manufacturing malfunction as many people have blogged about the same issue. Many have claimed it's an ABS or booster brake issue but there is no way to tell. A recall is necessary before a major tragedy occurs.
