The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and attempting to decelerate, there was an abnormal increase in stopping distance as the vehicle shook violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was determined that the brake booster had failed. The vehicle was being repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Applied the brakes while driving at approximately 25 mph, there was a loud grinding sound from the brakes and the brakes did not work. Also, made a strange sound like a spring. Pumping brakes and pushing them really hard didn't make any difference. The brakes had almost no effect in stopping the car. Fortunately, no one was killed or injured this time, but if this had happened a minute earlier on the steep hill we live on the result could have been very different. When the ignition was turned off and back on again the brakes appear to work fine. A quick search turns up many other Nissan owners with the same experience when this brake system glitches. This is a more serious problem than the Toyota accelerator problem because this problem disables the brakes when it occurs!! also, many owners report that the Nissan TSB instructions to re-program abs and ecm computers does not reliably fix this problem as many have experienced reoccurences after this remedy. Nissan needs to issue a safety recall and ensure a reliable remedy for brake failure or someone will be killed by this.
The brakes fail, make a grinding sound. . . Apparently turning the car off resets the delta s sensor. Do a google search on Nissan Armada and brake booster and you will find many pages of the same complaint. It happened intermittantly over the course of several years. I took it to a dealer within the past year - they said they had never heard of it. Charged me $100 to confirm what I told them - bad brake booster, change delta sensor. They suggested I call Nissan north America any acssitance with the 900+ fee to fix it. Nissan north America said they have never heard of this issue and said they would not assist in any way with the cost of repair.
