2007 Nissan Armada: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Jan 23, 2024 · Brakes · WA

On a continuing basis, while vehicle is in motion, applying the brakes causes brake pedal to sink to the floorboard with loss of braking power and with loud grinding noise coming from front of vehicle. Turning vehicle off then back on temporarily fixes the issue.

I was driving in traffic and my breaks went out and I almost got in a collision. The breaks at first didn't work and then were bouncing and grinding to stop and the break warning light came on. I swerved and barely missed another car. I pulled over in a parking lot there was a burning smell and let it sit for 4hr. I took it to get the breaks fixed an they couldn't find any issues with the breaking system except for the Delta Stroke Sensor Failure. I understand this has a been an ongoing issue with cars. One situation killed 3 people and Nissan lost a $25M lawsuit on this. I can't understand why this wouldn't be on a recall as issues with the breaking system is life threatening. My car is now at Nissan getting fixed, has been there for 2 weeks, they still can't figure out the issue with the Delta Sensor breaking system. This is very serious and no matter what age of the car, should be covered under a recall. You can find hundreds of articles online to understand how many cars are affected. Please look into this and issue a recall.

While driving the car will slow down and I will notice the brake light is on. Then I will hear like a grinding sound. As if im driving with emergency brakes on. The parking brakes engage while im driving. We took car to a nissan dealer for servicing but they could not detect any problem. There is certainly a problem with braking system. I am afraid this will cause an accident. It has happened about 7 times in the last 2 weeks. We just got new brakes on oct. 5 2019. This problem a few years ago and it will happen a few times a year but lately its happening more often. It staryed back on or about oct.1, 2019.

Brake light on my dash will come on and all of a sudden I hit the brake and a violent jerking and grinding sound on the brake. The brake feels like it would slip for little and but will still stop the vehicle. I turn the engine off and everything became normal again. I took it to the dealer to get check and they said that the were not able to mirror the problem and send the vehicle back to me. Now it happen several times again and I would just turn the engine off and resolves the issue. This issue has a class action lawsuit and won. There had been plenty of complaint regarding this problem too from other owners. What I don't understand is that why is there no recall regarding this problem still.. Why am I being force to pay for this defect first and then get partially reimbursed

While driving approx. 30 MPH down city street in morning traffic, the emergency brake light randomly comes on and when I try to brake the car make a grinding noise and I do not have full braking power. When you turn the car off it resets and the car resumes to functioning normally. Local mechanic tested once, got no codes so replaced master cylinder. A week later it happens again; took it back and got a code c1179-brake booster....a $900+ job. Refuse to pay this kind of money when research show that this did not resolve the issue. Wrote to nissan but got no reply. Conducted a search and found that hundreds of people are having the same issue.

Randomly when applying brakes during normal travel ranging and speeds from 25 to 70 a loud grinding noise is heard the brake light comes on in the vehicle is extremely hard to stop. If the vehicle is shut off the system will reset and it will be as if nothing happened. Took the vehicle to a local shop had the vehicle inspected with no discrepancies. It just happened again on 06 november. Here is a link of other people experiencing the same thing. Http://m.carcomplaints.com/nissan/armada/2007/brakes/service_brakes.shtml

I think I already report the same problem that I experienced last year about the brake. I was driving suddenly I noticed the brake warning light is on then I applied the brake but it wont work and I heard a grinding sound. Pulled to the side stop the car turn back on and works perfectly normal. I took to the dealer. Mechanic advisor told me to replace the brake booster. But when I asked about the code and what is really wrong with it he can not provide me a code. So I decided not to replace it cuz I don't know if the whole brake booster have the problem, cuz he cannot give me exactly what is wrong with it and no code pop up when he diagnosed it. He advised me to drive it again so when I experience it again take it back to him. But I don't want to drive my truck with a brake problem cuz I don't know when is going to happen. I don't want to hurt myself off guard or I might hurt somebody else. From a concerned citizen.

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.

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.

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.

Brake light comes on while driving. So I started driving slowly. I tried to push the brake and I hear a loud grinding noise on the left front, and pedal goes to the floor. When you turn it off the ignition it goes back to the normal operation.
