We bought this car in 2010 and had been very happy with it. 2-3 times over the first 3 years of ownership this happened, but always at very slow speed right after leaving our driveway. Problem was corrected by turning the car off and back on. This accident was the first time it occurred some distance from home. A car stopped short, causing the car behind to brake very hard. My wife (with our 18 month old son in the car) attempted to brake and couldn't, hitting both cars. Since the accident, the issue has occurred with increasing frequency (3x in the last month alone) - our issue is identical to what I've now found on numerous sites - abs light comes on, very little braking power, grinding noise, vibration in the pedal. Stop the car, turn it off, turn it back on, problem gone.
I was coming up to a stop light, going roughly 40 mph, and started applying the brakes, as the lights were changing, and I felt the brake pedal go "soft" and drop nearly to the floor. I had the brake, abs, and slip lights light up on my dash. I was able to bring the Armada to a controlled stop before going into the intersection, but to do so I had to depress the brake pedal to the floor and it was as if there was a miniscule amount of pressure being applied to the brakes. Once stopped I shifted into park, turned off the truck, waited a few moments, and turned the truck on again. The brake, abs, and slip lights remained illuminated and the brake pedal continued to feel extremely soft. I had to keep it full depressed against the floor in order to stay stopped. When the stop lights turned green, I pulled off the road- out of the way of traffic- and repeated the procedure above that I performed at the stop light. The brake, abs and slip lights continued to remain illuminated.
Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the stability control and abs warning lights illuminated. The brake pedal traveled to the floor when depressed and the vehicle failed to stop until after several attempts. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000. The VIN was not available. Pam.
