The vehicle brakes frequently go out and start to shake and make a springy noise when you push down on them and the brakes lose power and cannot be applied safely. This may lead to a crash and nissan cannot diagnose this with certainty so intervention from the federal safety agency is needed. I have learned that there is a possible faulty delta computer sensor and/or brake booster that nissan cannot problem solve very well. This problem could or has LED to crashes when you cannot apply the brakes at speed. It only happens when driving and the only way to stop it is for the vehicle to be pulled over to the side of the road and shut off and restarted. Please put out a recall for this so that way there are no crashes that can injury my family or others.

This seems to be an issue for a lot of people so I'm officially reporting. I've owned this car for 16 years. In that time, I've repeatedly had issues with the braking system at different times starting in 2006, but definitely in 2009. I've brought it up with dealers in both saco, me & wake forest, nc. Each time they cannot find a problem. Finally after the last time the dealer said there was a bulletin about the computer needing an update. Which cost multiple hundreds to install. This install definitely decreased the incidents of multiple brake failings while driving, but didn't completely fix the problem. I'm just now learning that it's a faulty delta stroke sensor in the brake booster and is a known problem to nissan for the titan and armada models. I never got the postcard about the class action lawsuit, but it wouldn't have helped since they never identified the issue or maybe even hid it from me during my visits. Because of this I'm out of the window for the lawsuit and am still having problems. My '04 still only has 78,000 miles and multiple other people are having this same issue. Nissan just had to pay 25 million to a family that was hit by one of these affected vehicles, but still will not claim there is an issue with the delta sensor and brake booster. Please make them fix this issue to save lives and pay for something they know has been an issue for a very long time. The booster can be reset and the problem goes away, but to do this you have to stop the car with the brakes fluttering and not responding. Then you shut off the car for 10 seconds and restart the car. This usually fixes the issue, but it can return at any time. Usually when you've already been driving for awhile. Started back in 2006, but got worse in 2009. Computer fix lessened issue, but still occurs at random times.
