Brake Fluid Leak Problems of Nissan Armada

I was driving to pick up my daughter at work when I came to a stop at an intersection the brakes seemed fine but when the light turned green I was making a left turn and as I was turning I put my foot on the brake and the brakes went in and I heard a very loud grinding sound and I could feel the vibration under my feet then I noticed the brake light come on so I pulled off the road but realized it wasn't a safe spot so luckily I was near a turn off so I pulled into a parking lot very slowly and put the car in park. The brake light remained on until I turned the vehicle off. I called my husband and he came, checked all the brakes, the brake fluid and checked to see if there was fluid leaking anywhere but he didn't find anything wrong so he started the vehicle and the brake light was off so he drove it home while I drove his car but it didn't happen again. I've read that many people have had the same issue with Nissan Armada. I would like to add that this is the first time it happened but it's one time too many because I'm lucky I didn't have an accident.

Yesterday I left the parking lot after work and after driving for a few minutes I noticed that the parking brake light was on. The parking brake was in the up position and the car was in drive. I have had issues with lights coming on even if nothing is wrong (tire pressure light). At the time I was traveling at a low rate of speed due to five o'clock traffic. So after getting onto the freeway the speed increased then I noticed when I depressed the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle began to shudder/shake and the brakes didn't seem to be working as they should. It was a noticeable grinding noise as well. So I continued on slowly(35mph) until I reached a point that I could stop. I checked to see if maybe I had leaking brake fluid. I saw nothing coming from under the car. I stopped the car in order to do this. Well once I got back in and started the vehicle the light was off and the brakes were working as if nothing had happened. I am concerned because I see blogs where people have had the same problem as me. What I didn't see was a recall or any acknowledgement that the Armada has a malfunction of some sort with the braking system. I have been reading about anything I can find that identifies the part or problem. So far nothing. . . I will be taking my Armada to the dealership to get a diagnostic just to see what if any code will match my description of the events yesterday. I am worried that I will experience brake failure altogehter.
