Brake Sensor problems of the 2006 Nissan Armada

For several month now off and on while I'm driving the truck makes a loud noise, steering wheel shakes then I heard a spring noise. It almost feels like the truck is going to fall apart. Then the slip amd vdc off sensor comes on. Then it stops sensor lights go away. Then it happens again, it's been real frequent lately.

The brakes fail when brake sensor turns on periodically while car is in motion. This happens without warning. The only way to resolve this is to turn off the car. I have been in many near accidents because of this manufacturing defect that many owners have complained about.

Brakes going in and out while driving making it very difficult to stop. Mechanic says delta s sensor code came up and this is very common for this make, model and year. Also said to report it since it is a huge safety issue. Feels like the brakes are bouncing on the rotors and barley stopping the car. While waiting for the light to turn green feels like car is still trying to go forward while brakes are bouncing on the rotors.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Armada. The contact stated a vdc warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The dealer stated that the brake sensor caused the vdc light to illuminate. The dealer did not have the parts to remedy the brake sensors; therefore, the dealer referred the contact to another dealer. The second dealer also preferred a diagnostic test be performed. The dealer stated the brake booster caused the vdc light to illuminate. The dealer replaced the brake booster but the repair did not remedy the failure. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer who performed another diagnostic test. The dealer stated the steering sensor was defective and cause the vdc light to illuminate. The dealer reset the steering sensor. The vdc failure was repaired. The contact filed a complaint with the manufacturer who stated all three defects could have caused the vdc light to illuminate. The failure mileage was 68,500.

While driving, the following indicator lights came vdc, abs and brake. When I applied the brakes, there was a horrible grinding noise which scared me to death. I continued on cautiously and fortunately it did not make the same sound the next time I braked. The Nissan service department said it was a sensor that went bad and the abs brake system that possibly was bad. I paid over $500 to get it fixed and had to sign an agreement that what they did may not fix it, and if so, the brake booster would then need to be replaced at a cost of $1000. I found out afterwards that there had been a recall of the very same issue but not on my vehicle because the VIN did not match the recall. Very suspect.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that the brakes failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the delta sensor and brake booster assembly were replaced however, the failure later recurred. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 34,000.

Approximately middle of 2009, was pulling up to stop sign and the brakes did not want to stop and made a horrible crunch sound with peddle all the way down the vehicle eventually stopped. Contacted Nissan and made arrangements for a dealer to look at it. Of course it doesn't do this all the time, but when it does it is very frightening. . . They supposedly reset the sensor and said that it may ifs the problem then again not. . . Went on a forum and there is several owners of this same type of vehicle. . . Since the it has happen several times. I made a compliant with you people and Nissan. It should be a recall. . . This is an on going problem. Our vehicle is garage kept and low miles. We bought for pulling our toy hauler which we now don't feel safe to pull with this continuous issue. . . Nissan knows there is an issue and does nothing but trying to get us to pay a 1,000. 00 plus to replace the break booster and sensor with no promises do curing the problem. . . . . Please, what does it take to have a recall before there is a serious fatal accident. Thank you.

September 25, 2007 my 2006 Nissan Armada 4x2 lost braking power. I was traveling on a quiet road near the Nissan dealership so I took my foot off the gas and rolled to a stop. Deland Nissan said the delto sensor malfunctioned and had to be reprogramed. They also replaced the brake booster. I was told by the service manager, bill warfield, that this has occured to other owners and is the solution given by Nissan. The problem has been rectified on the 2008 Nissan Armadas. Ther is no recall, even though this is occuring to other Armada owners. This is a life threatening defect. How can Nissan be made to recall these vehicles before someone is killed?.
