I was traveling at low speed and step on the brakes and hear a terrible grinding sound coming from the brakes in addition to a spring like sound and a significant reduction in braking power. The brake lights came on. This continues until I pull off the road and shut off the engine and then start it back up and the brakes work fine. The next day, while exiting the highway...brake light came on, little or no braking power and a shudder in the breaks. And then it happened again as I pull up to the driveway to park my armada. This is a safety issue and I really hope that nissan will take care of this issue.

The emergency and importance to recall my vehicle which is a 06 nissan armada and I'm sure there is plenty more out there. The issue is that my brakes will not engage out of nowhere. They will stop working and it feels as if the brakes are locking and grinding . This happens when going down hill , the most dangerous times it has happened to me is driving while in the freeway.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan armada. While decelerating from 70 MPH, the brakes failed to engage. The contact continued to depress the brake pedal with force until the anti-lock braking system engaged. The contact veered to the shoulder of the road and turned off the vehicle. Once it was restarted, the vehicle resumed normal operation. The failure was experienced several times. Banister nissan of chesapeake (930 n battlefield blvd, chesapeake, va 23320, (757) 214-6342) was contacted to schedule a diagnostic test. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but a failure code could not be located. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.
This is the 5th time this had happened in one year, my brake light would come on for no reason and I would have no brakes, I check my fluid and pad nothing was wrong please call a recall before someone dies
For several month now off and on while I'm driving the truck makes a loud noise, steering wheel shakes then I heard a spring noise. It almost feels like the truck is going to fall apart. Then the slip amd vdc off sensor comes on. Then it stops sensor lights go away. Then it happens again, it's been real frequent lately.
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.

Adc slip light come on the car cut off and have no power motion and in park hightway and street
The brakes fail when brake sensor turns on periodically while car is in motion. This happens without warning. The only way to resolve this is to turn off the car. I have been in many near accidents because of this manufacturing defect that many owners have complained about.
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.
Issue with ABS engaging at inappropriate times at low speeds creating an inability to brake. My wife drove through a stop sign with all 4 of my kids the first time it happened and lucked out. It just happened again today. At a speed of only 4 miles per hour, I noticed the brake light came on, I drove through the green light, only accelerating enough to get to a side road. When I tried to brake, there was a crunching/grinding noise from under the hood. After the first time this occurred to my wife, I replaced the brake booster (hell of a job) and I installed new rotors and pads all the way around as the brake booster was told to be the issue after nissan was sued for the problem as it grew. It still never became a tsb and I have a half ton death trap in my driveway.
Intermittently, and for no apparent reason, the brake light comes on while the car is in motion. This causes greatly diminished braking power (it feels like a vacuum has released and it is very difficult to stop). The only way to rectify this is to stop and turn the car off completely and then restart it. This is ok on city streets but is very scary on the highway. I have had a nissan dealer look at it multiple times but since the car checks out mechanically and they cannot recreate the situation, they can't figure out why this happens.
When trying to stop the ABS brakes engage and the car is almost impossible to stop. I have had this vehicle looked at and different parts changed but the problem keeps coming back. I had the brakes changed, brake booster and clock spring changed. The vdc and slip lights will randomly come on and the ABS engages while driving. Almost caused a wreck the other day but I was able to maneuver around vehicles and then stop. This also happened back in 2011 with this same vehicle we had the brake booster changed and the problem went away until now. The brake booster was evaluated and scanned and checked out ok. Last time it cost $1,000 dollars to fix it, but is now a problem again.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan armada. While driving 55 MPH, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle when the brake pedal was depressed. Deland nissan in deland, florida was made aware of the failure and stated that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 145,000.
Brake light came one and tried to stop but a loud sound came from the brakes like a grinding sound. The brakes pads are good but sounds like a brake booster problem. I could barely stop to avoid wrecking into someone else.
My vehicle was acting completely normal no dash lights until I went to stop at a stop light thats when I applied the brakes to come to a stop my breakes were soft grinding noise and did not want to stop. I look at the dash and the break light was on I pulled to the shoulder of the road put in the parking break and released it. Still same issue. Turned the truck off then back on and now is working completely normal again. After doing research this is a very common problem on the nissan armadas and titans. It is found to be a faulty break booster and sensor. I had 2 of my children with me. It was a frightening experience not knowing if I was going to be able to stop my vehicle. Nissan needs this booster to be recalled. There is absolutely no warning that you may loose your breaks.
Brake failure. I have the same problem as many. Brake light comes on and all of sudden no brakes and loud noises. This has happened for a few years and have received no help from nissan dealer. Once I restart vehicle, it works like normal.
I was in stop and go traffic when a grinding/springy sound came out from under and the :brake" light came on. I had no control over the brake pedal, it would go all the way down to the floor but would not stop, luckily I was on a flat road so it didn't move forward or backwards. I was still able to drive the car to a safe spot and used my emergency brakes to get there. If I were going at a high speed, I don't know what would have happened. You can replace a car, but you can't replace a person. I have an 8 month old baby who needs me. My brother in law is a mechanic for all types of cars and has been for years, he told me this is a well known problem with armadas (04-07). Mine is an 06. At this point I have to keep turning off my car and back on to restart some computer? I am not good with cars. If this happens at a high speed and I can't stop because of this issue it is on your hands.you know there is a problem, yet do nothing about it. This armada is a deathtrap. I do not feel safe in it, but I don't have the money to buy another vehicle. My brother in law suspects it is the ABS,vdc,brake malfunction. I was speaking to someone else about this issue, and they said they had the same issue on their, and once when a light turn red and he tried to stop he couldn't and ended up in the middle of an intersection. Does someone have to die before anything is done?
Brakes going in and out while driving making it very difficult to stop. Mechanic says delta s sensor code came up and this is very common for this make, model and year. Also said to report it since it is a huge safety issue. Feels like the brakes are bouncing on the rotors and barley stopping the car. While waiting for the light to turn green feels like car is still trying to go forward while brakes are bouncing on the rotors.
I am having issues with my brake light that keeps coming on while I am driving. And when I hit the brakes my truck jerks badly, my brake light comes on, my brake pedal vibrates while stopping. I was told I need my brake booster replaced which was done and I am still having the same issues. I was told by the mechanic the code c1179 is the issues. The code is nissan - delta stroke sensor malfunctioning which only nissan can fix the problem (and there is a service bulletin for this issues as well). What needs to happen for nissan to address this issue that is going on with several trucks. I don't like the feeling of driving and cannot stop or feel as if I am going to hit someone I have children and I don't want to get into an accident with them or anyone else within the truck because of this issue. If there is a service bulletin about this code c1179 why is nissan not being held responsible for the issues and cost? I have fixed everything that is causing the issue and now I have to have my truck reprogrammed which is costing me more. This issue has been going on for more than 8 months and it is now 11/2017.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan armada. While driving various speeds, the brakes erroneously activated abruptly and stopped the vehicle. During the incident, smoke was present coming from the brakes. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who replaced the brake cylinder, but the failure continued. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 170,000.
The break light will come on while driving and then the breaks do not work but if you shout off the car and restart the light goes off and the breaks works just fine after that
On the date of july 12, 2017 I was on the freeway on my way to work. Traffic was moderate. As I attempted to brake I noticed it made springy grinding sound, and the brakes did not function as well. I also noticed that the red brake light indicator was on. In a safe and desperate manner, I immediately pulled over to shoulder and put my vehicle on park. After I placed my vehicle on park, I turned it off and turned off, then I turned it back on. Once I turned it back on, I noticed that the brake light was no longer on and the brakes were working fine. On july 13, 2017, while traveling with my wife and kids to disneyland, I experienced the same incident again. As I attempted to brake, the brakes made a loud springy grinding sound. In addition the brakes did not function as well and the brake light was on. This time I was not able to pull over to shoulder due to heavy traffic. I had to activate my emergency lights and turn off and turn on my vehicle in the middle lane. Please adhere to this major safety concern immediately. Thank you
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.
While driving on the highway my brake light came on. When I exited the highway I tried to apply my brakes I had very little brakes. There was a loud noise coming from the front of my vehicle when I tried to brake. I finally got the vehicle to stop in a safe location, turned the car off,restarted the vehicle, the problem went awake. This recently happened again on the city street. I pulled off of the street, turned off the vehicle the problem went away. I really fear for my life because I barely have any brakes when this happens. The brake petal is pushed all the way to the floor before the vehicle can stop. This happens periodically.
Tl* the contact owned a 2006 nissan armada. While driving approximately 35 MPH and attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal fractured while being depressed and caused the contact's vehicle to crash into the rear of a second vehicle. During the crash, the vehicle was destroyed and the front end was severely damaged; however, the air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed and the vehicle was towed. The driver sustained a concussion and the front passenger sustained a neck abrasion. Medical attention was required. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 175,000. ....updated 06/21/17 *bf ...updated 08/02/17 *bf updated 10/06/17 *bf ..updated 10/11/17*bf updated 10/23/17 *bf updated 11/2/2017*js *cn *js *js
