Brake Sensor problems of the 2005 Nissan Armada

Purchased vehicle used in may 2015, my trusted mechanic checked it out September 2015 and reported back it was in good condition with no issues. July 2016 experienced break failure at 15 miles an hour. Again my mechanic troubleshooted the issues and said the power break booster needed to be replaced. He then referred me to Nissan for possible replacement since it is a safety issue. I spoke with corporate Nissan who advised me to take it to our local Nissan dealership to prove the issue existed, for any potential compensation. After taking the vehicle to Nissan they concluded reprogramming the delta stroke sensor would resolve the problem; which I had to pay $300 to have this done. On October 2016 inoperable break failure occurred again at 65 miles an hour while on the interstate, as I was approaching an exit ramp. This same issue occurred twice in one day, just a week later. Once as I left work going 40 miles an hour, my dashboard lit up with vdc and skid lights, in addition to my break failure light. The second time occurred going down a city street where I had to do a rolling stop through an intersection, dodging oncoming traffic, eventually hitting a curb to stop. After taking my vehicle back to Nissan for them to test drive (recreate) the problem, I was told that I could not drive my vehicle off the lot due to safety hazards. I have spent hours on the phone with corporate to resolve this safety issue; but yet Nissan refuses to fix the problem, or refund me my money for the failed reprogramming. This vehicle is geared towards families with children; and both my children were present in the vehicle during all failures. After searching the national highway traffic safety administration website, I have found hundreds of documented cases revolving around the same safety hazard. Nissan refuses to recall this part or notify owners of the existing issue.

When the vehicle was shut off and restarted, the braking performance would return to normal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the delta stroke sensor failed and would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 171,000.

I was in a school zone picking up my daycare kids. As soon as I took off the parking break and put the car in drive it showed the break light on. Confused I checked everything and proceeded to drive home. As I reached the stop sign with a crossing guard escorting kids across I really had to push down on the break and a loud crunching like metal to metal and shaking accrued. It scared the day lights out of me! I turned the corner pulled over to the side took a deep breath. I took the streets home and drove very slow praying that when I would come to a stop sign that my breaks would work. I get to my other stop to pick up my child from her bus stop. Coming to the stop still have all the grinding noise and praying it will stop. I turned off my car and waited for the bus. I wait for all the kids to cross and completely clear the area. I stared my car and what I couldn't believe everything was fine. I came home called my husband he called the dealer and I began to research. To my disbelief there are hundreds of complaints on this issue code:c1179 delta sensor and nothing is being done about it. Most people like myself purchase a large vehicle because we have multiple people to drive around, like my kids I watch ranging from 1-12yrs. This floors me! I was at a cross walk when this happened with kids croosing what if I couldn't stop I would of hit the kids!!!! what if I crashed I had three other kids that I watched in the car with me. It is disgusting to me that nothing is being done there is no recall on this!! to my fear something will fatally happen for you guys to do something. Please fix this problem before something really bad happens!!!. Oh and not to mention you have no warning when this occurs and when u turn off your car its like nothing ever happened. Come to find out it resets the code. I'm scared to drive my car because reading others it happens again! recall!!!.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that the brake pedal went to the floor and the brakes made a grinding sound whenever the brakes were engaged. The contact mentioned that the grinding noise would ceised after turning the vehicle off and back on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnose that the brake booster was failing and the delta booster sensor inside the brake booster needed to be replaced and reprogrammed. The contact stated that the vehicle had new brakes pads at the time of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 94,000 and the current mileage was 103,000.

My 2005 Nissan Armada's air bag srs system is inoperable. The dashboard light indicated a failure of the airbag system while the vehicle was under warantee and I thought it was repaired after several instances. I have taken the vehilce to several mechanics to have the srs system repaired. Nissan claimed it has been everything from the seatbelt tensioners, sensor modules under the seats to bad elecrical connectors. All of these components have been replaced but my dash lights show I still have inoperatble airbags. The srs system on my Armada is currently in failure again and I cannot afford to pay Nissan again to attempt to repair the problem. I also have a second issue with the abs brakes activating randomly during normal slow speed stops in which the brakes shake violently and with little stopping force. It seems the abs system is activating under light operational conditions. This has been a re-accurring problem each summer. Nissan cannot duplicate the problem so I have been sent home without remedy. I am complaining because I have no other recourse except to warn others before someone is seriously hurt or killed through the failure of the brakes or the airbags. I am the original owner and the vehicle has not been modified in any manner.

2005 Nissan Armada. My airbag sensor light has turned on and remained on for no apparent reason. The vehicle has not been in an accident and was recently serviced by the local Nissan dealership about a week ago. Prior to the issue of the air bag light the braking system appears to be intermittent in stopping the SUV, which is also felt in the brake pedal while braking. I have addressed this to the dealership but they could not identify the cause. This all may or may not be related but this is very important to the safety of driving. To my knowledge similar problems are addressed in the 2007 and 2008 Nissans vehicles but nothing yet for my 05 Armada. How can you help? I would hate for these problems to be the cause of an accident one day. These complaints are very similar to others on your web site.
