Issue is the brake booster and delta sensor. Truck has 85000 miles on it. The brakes keep failing, and you need to pull over, and restart the truck to get going again, sometimes several times. Nissan has looked at it, but won't do anything unless they witness it. Or they read the code. However, when you shut off the engine to clear brakes, and it clears the code. This is a dangerous situation, and needs to be addressed.
Amazing how many complaints on the Armadas "without warning" brake failure and yet still no investigation? is it because of the class action suit against Nissan for this very thing? are you not responsible for the safety of people? I thought that was the purpose of this organization. Disappointing that you are still waiting for someone to die before anything is done.
Was traveling down the road at 35mph! tried to stop at stop sign and the brakes failed! car would not stop! had to use the emergency brake!!!.
Car wouldn't stop. When I pressed brakes it would rattle and make a sound. I was going about 50mph when I tried slowing down brakes failed ! dealer didn't help at all!.

2004 Nissan Armada brake failure while driving,this is at random times causing us to panic in traffic. This has been an on going problem with no fix and this is very scary and unsafe. And the only solution is hope that you get to a safe place without injuries or death occuring. Turn it off and back on and drive until it does it again. So taking a risk everyday and praying that something be done with this is like an awakening nightmare waiting to happen just don't know when. Thanks for your cooperation with this safety issue.
2004 Nissan Armada. Brake failure, loud grinding, vibration, would not stop. Turned car off, then back on, and problem was gone. I suspect its a computer related issue that will eventually cause a serious accident.
The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Armada. While driving 25 mph, the contact applied pressure to the brakes but they failed to operate and did not stop the vehicle. She would turn the vehicle off and then on again but the brakes remained operable. The failure occurred intermittently since January 2011. The dealer replaced the rear parking brake shoe on the passenger side and both rotors however, the failure persisted. The contact was awaiting further repairs. The current mileage was 83,000 and the approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
We have a 2004 Nissan Armada that has had complete brake failure. What happens is the brakes begin to jump/jitter and then there is 100% brake failure---there are no brakes period! we've talked to Nissan and taken the car to the dealership and they say there is nothing wrong with the brakes. We don't know what else to do, we can't sell the SUV because we would be passing a life threatening problem to someone else and we cannot drive it because the brakes will fail. To solve the problem at the time they fail obe has to turn off the car, remove the key from the start switch, and then turn the engine again. This seems like the type of problem that the computer controls since the problem temporarily disappears after resetting the computer. Can you help?.
2004 Nissan Armada brake failure problem. About every 4-6 months the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor with very limited stopping power. There is a grinding sound while applying brakes. To me seems to be a matter of time when I smash into something.
The first incident happened twice just prior to July 1st, again on July 4th, and the last incident was July 12th, 2009. After the first 3 incidents once I turned off the vehicle it went back to normal and the dashboard lights went off. However, on July 12th, while driving on the highway, the dash board lights for the breaks and abs system all lit up. There was vibration and then the back brakes made this horrible sound like metal hitting metal. I turned the vehicle off and the problem didn't correct and the brake was not engaging properly. I took the vehicle back to the dealership where I bought the car only to find out that they were no longer a Nissan dealer. I took it to the mechanic I use for my other vehicle and he put my Nissan Armada 2004 pathfinder on the lift and checked the brakes. The brakes were in good condition but he said the abs system would have to be checked by a Nissan dealership. I only have 28,815 mile on my vehicle and the downey Nissan dealership told me that they would update the abs computer system but that the vehicle needed a new brake booster because there was an electrical problem in the brake booster and it would need to be replaced. I googled the Nissan brake booster problems and found that this has been happening to many Nissan Armada and could not find a recall. I am afraid to drive my vehicle because of the possibility of crashing if the brake fails to engage or worse. The dealer asked Nissan to honor "in good faith" the warranty because my car was in very good condition and hd only at 28,815 miles less than the 36,000 mile warranty albeit past 3 years. Nissan refused.
2004 Nissan Armada - brake failure. This is an on-going problem. I have contacted Nissan in the past to open a claim. The person on the phone recommended I take it to the dealer (which we had done at least 3 times prior). We took it to the dealer and they indicated that there was 'no trouble/problem found' (only one time prior did they update the code to the computer - all other times - no trouble found). I mention that we have taken it to the dealer 3 or 4 times, but according to my wife who drives this car every day, this happens to her at least once a month - that is over 20 times since we have owned it! I cannot afford to keep taking my car to the dealer, renting a car for the day - just to have 'no trouble found'. Quite frankly, my wife does not feel safe driving the car. I know there have been other incidents of this problem registered. I just would like it fixed once and for all so my wife and children do not have to keep putting their lives at risk, wondering if the brakes are going to work or not. Please help.

I have a 2004 Nissan Armada and was traveling at low speed when the brakes failed. The vehicle rolled out into the intersection before stopping. Just prior to stopping it felt like the abs was trying to engage, but the pavement was not slippery. I drove slowly and tried the brakes a few more times and every time it felt like the abs was kicking in, but the braking was severly diminished. I drove the vehicle slowly)about 1 mile to a dealership. Turned the vehicle off, and when we turned it back on again , the problem was gone. The tech nician did a code scan and found that the abs needed to be reprogrammed, which was being done now. I dod a search on the internet and this seemed prevelant in the 2004 Armadas and titans. My concern that the complaints I have read showed that this continuedc to recur even after the reprogramming. If this happened unexpectedly at high speed and a panic stop the results will be catastrophic. This should be investigated. Thanks.
On eight different my 2004 Nissan aramada had complete brake failure. Executive Jeep Nissan did nothing to fix problem. Vehicle very unsafe. Been off the road for 3 months.

2004 Nissan Armada brakes failed twice.
Complete brake failure-- vehicle: 2004 Nissan Armada le this vehicle has been in the shop (dealer) several times with brake issues. The rotors have been turned and replaced and turned again. Nissan has not as of yet corrected the problem. About a week ago, I was making a stop at an intersection when the brake pedal went completely to the floor. I "pumped" the pedal and got enough pedal to be able to stop. On exam of the brake system, I found that the brake fluid reservoir was over half empty. Why? I do not know. I added fluid and the brake problem appeared to be corrected. I took the vehicle to the dealer and requested it be examined to see if they could determine if there was a leak of some kind that may have caused the fluid level to get low. In checking out the vehicle, the problem occurred again with the technician. They could not determine the cause.
2004 Nissan pathfinder Armada with numerous problems. Customer states the vehicle has had some of these problems washer tank/motor/level sensor, electrical worked after key was removed from the ignition, and it had brake failure. The tires were wearing unevenly. There was a water leak coming from the passenger front floor board. The dealer installed a hose to the ac drain. The front rotors were replaced due to them being warped and the rear rotors were resurfaced. The passenger window would not roll up, due to it being off track. While driving, the engine suddenly shut down. The consumer removed the key from the ignition, but the wipers, horn ,headlights and other electrical instruments kept on working. The consumer also experienced a flat tire and there was moisture in the transmission connector, the wiring harness was repalced.
