I am writing this due to that what is going on with mine and I am sure it is happening to others as well I am a mother of three young kids (9,10, and 3) this is my daily driver. On three occasions since October 2017 when I am about stop the brake light turns on and the brakes get hard and sound like a stretching spring it's happened on all highways and making left turns. Once I pull over or stop I shut it off for five seconds and turn on car and light is gone and brakes are back to normal it would happen every two months to know every three weeks now this a very scary situation we have check brakes and booster and take it to mechanics and nothing happens no codes no nothing please help I'm starting to feel unsafe in the vehicle.

Two times in the past 2 months I have experienced while driving, my brake light lighting up and my brakes failing. My pedal would go down farther, grinding noises could be heard, and it was very hard to stop my vehicle. I pulled over as carefully as possible, stopped slowly, and turned my engine off. I then restarted and everything was fine, no brake light, no noise, no issue pushing the brake pedal. I didn't think much about it until it happened again. I know Nissan will not do anything about it because the brake light is off and it is not an issue right now. I know they are also aware of this problem with my make, model, and year of car and they settled a class action lawsuit out of court that I was not involved in because I didn't have the problem at that point. Both times it happened while traveling on city streets, once I was going about 35mph the other about 45mph. I am more than afraid because we do occasionally travel on mountain roads and I have no idea how I would handle this situation if it happened while driving downhill.

On the date of July 12, 2017 I was on the freeway on my way to work. Traffic was moderate. As I attempted to brake I noticed it made springy grinding sound, and the brakes did not function as well. I also noticed that the red brake light indicator was on. In a safe and desperate manner, I immediately pulled over to shoulder and put my vehicle on park. After I placed my vehicle on park, I turned it off and turned off, then I turned it back on. Once I turned it back on, I noticed that the brake light was no longer on and the brakes were working fine. On July 13, 2017, while traveling with my wife and kids to disneyland, I experienced the same incident again. As I attempted to brake, the brakes made a loud springy grinding sound. In addition the brakes did not function as well and the brake light was on. This time I was not able to pull over to shoulder due to heavy traffic. I had to activate my emergency lights and turn off and turn on my vehicle in the middle lane. Please adhere to this major safety concern immediately. Thank you.

While driving on the highway my brake light came on. When I exited the highway I tried to apply my brakes I had very little brakes. There was a loud noise coming from the front of my vehicle when I tried to brake. I finally got the vehicle to stop in a safe location, turned the car off,restarted the vehicle, the problem went awake. This recently happened again on the city street. I pulled off of the street, turned off the vehicle the problem went away. I really fear for my life because I barely have any brakes when this happens. The brake petal is pushed all the way to the floor before the vehicle can stop. This happens periodically.

While driving my Nissan Armada it goes thru a complete loss of brakes when all of a sudden the brake light sensor comes on. It seems to happen in cycles like every month or so but when the car is turned off and then on again the problem disappears, until the next time. This is a definite manufacturing malfunction as many people have blogged about the same issue. Many have claimed it's an abs or booster brake issue but there is no way to tell. A recall is necessary before a major tragedy occurs.

Takata recall "abs braking system ,entire system fails the brake light and abs brakel light, tics light all come on instrument panel,when stepping on brake pedal, then a wierd noise sound then brake pedal sinks to floor with the brakes grabbing and locking up causing tires to lock and slide, this happens frequently sometimes twice in the same time ,then it might go without occurring for weeks or months at a time, this is very dangerous I just happen to know somewhat how to deal with problem, as I'm applying brakes when it always happen, but if I was braking heavily and it happen no way ,would I not crash into what ever in front of me, it only happens while truck is in motion , and during braking.

While transmission is in drive, and proceeding down the road, has happen at speeds between 10mph up to 70mph. The emergency brake light on the dashboard goes on. Within 5-10 seconds hearing a grinding sound coming from the front of the car, sounds like coming from breaks in addition to a spring like sound and a reduction of breaking power. This continues until you pull off the road, and turn off the car and turn it back on. Once the car is reset it appears to fix the problems. I purchased the car at with approximately 69k miles on it, it currently has roughly 114k miles on it and has happen approximately 3 times since 95k miles. I have taken the vehicle to a dealership and have explained the issue. They advised they have heard of this, but there is no recall for the VIN number on my Armada. That this would require a technician to provide a software update. This should be able to fix the problem, but not guarantee. Approximately take 1-2 hours for a technician to do this and I would be responsible to pay. Spoke to Nissan USA and they view the software upgrade as regular service maintenance. This issue has seemed to be common in Armada's from 2004 to 2008, based on what has been listed on several forums. . Read more...

I am having issues with my brake light that keeps coming on while I am driving. And when I hit the brakes my truck jerks badly, my brake light comes on, my brake pedal vibrates while stopping. I was told I need my brake booster replaced which was done and I am still having the same issues. I was told by the mechanic the code c1179 is the issues. The code is Nissan - delta stroke sensor malfunctioning which only Nissan can fix the problem (and there is a service bulletin for this issues as well). What needs to happen for Nissan to address this issue that is going on with several trucks. I don't like the feeling of driving and cannot stop or feel as if I am going to hit someone I have children and I don't want to get into an accident with them or anyone else within the truck because of this issue. If there is a service bulletin about this code c1179 why is Nissan not being held responsible for the issues and cost? I have fixed everything that is causing the issue and now I have to have my truck reprogrammed which is costing me more. This issue has been going on for more than 8 months and it is now 11/2017.

Every so often the brake light comes on and the brakes screech and don't respond when step on the brake pedal. What I do is turn of the car and for some reason this seems to do a reset and the car goes back to normal. This is very dangerous because if it happens when you're driving and brake you can crash.

Doesn't matter the speed of the vehicle, brakes tend to press to the floor, grinding noise and the only way to stop this is to pull over the vehicle, turn off the ignition and restart it. It randomly happens, but I am very concerned that if and when I tow or am on the highway, I don't won't my brakes to not work. Could kill me. . . I have had an issue with brakes and lights coming on that says vdo ,antilock etc: when driving the SUV at lower speeds and you try to apply the brakes the whole front end starts shaking and grinding and it is impossible to stop. I have replaced brakes, rotors , wheel hub bearings and still have this problem. It is scary when you can't stop a 7,000lb vehicle! I am in fear of an accident . I have read of others having the same problem. Sometimes when running hyw speeds a lot of lights come on and dingers and this has been happening since I bought the Armada. I want to know what Nissan is gonna do about this problem cause it seems I am not the only one having these issues. By the way this is going on since I purchased the vehicle back on 10/2006.

Brake keep going out while driving doesn't happen all the time. . . But when it happen the brake light on and when you try to step on the brake it shake and grind. . . I report this a coupe time already and still nothing happen. . . And with the airbag light keep coming on and when I reset it two day later it come right back on.

Brake light comes on, brakes pulsate and make a grinding and clunking noise. The brakes grab causing the vehicle to apply to much brake pressure at times. Other times it doesn't apply enough pressure. This occurs as the vehicle is coming to a stop.

While attempting to stop, without warning the brake light comes on and the brake pedal basically goes to the floor and barely works to stop the truck. The brakes grind as it is pushed. If you turn the vehicle off it seems to reset itself. We almost hit someone today trying to stop at a red light. The vehicle was moving at roughly 15-20 mph when the issue started (today). We were on a city street, braking to stop. It seems to be a consistent problem with these vehicles and I am boggled at the fact that no one is requiring Nissan to take any responsibility. Eventually someone is going to get very hurt. Having little to no control over your braking is very scary, especially with my little one in the truck with me . This is a large vehicle and would do a lot of damage if it were to hit someone the next time this happens. This seems to happen once every 2-4 weeks or so. It appears to be random.

I have had the same issue that many people are explaining here. I'll be driving down the road and out of no where the dash brake light will turn on. When I try to break, the brake pedal will push down to the floor and it will sound like is grinding and almost sound like a spring is loose inthere. But when I turn the car off and then turn it on, it goes away. I had this problem for a few months now and this is an accident waiting to happen, I just hope it doesn't do it on the freeway. .

Brake issues grinding turn car off stops brake light comes on when a problem but goes of when restarted. See attached lawsuit.

Bought a 2004 Nissan Armada 08/08/2016 the second day I had to go to the dealers and pay close to 4xx to have a computer hooked up to it because my brake light came on and didnt have any brakes, it then happened the second week of owning the vehicle, called Nissan north America at first I was told I would be reimbursed and my problem fixed then was told its out of warranty. Regardless it was not my fault Nissan does not no how to make vehicle or fix there fauly problems. Then today I went out to start my truck and it will turn over all day long but will not start, I have a 2 year old special needs child and was heading to get his medication which can be very serious if hes without, contacted nna yet again with no luck. On top of the list of other problems iv had with this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Armada. While driving approximately 15 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when depressed. The brakes screeched and the vehicle finally stopped; however, the brake lights remained illuminated. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the brakes needed to be flushed and brake fluid re-applied. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer again where it was diagnosed that the brake booster was completely gone and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 137,000.

As I was driving my Armada I heard a noise and felt that something was wrong with my breaks. I tried to brake and my breaks wouldn't respond, it also sounded like my breaks were hitting metal with metal, the break light also came on. After pushing the break pedal several times it stopped had to turn on my emergency lights as I stopped at a main street. I turned off the car and back on my brake light turned off and drove home through the small streets since was afraid that the breaks wouldn't work again.

Braking system doesnt work properly at times. Brake light on dash lights up and brakes pulsate like it would if you are trying to stop on ice. After restart vehicle it will be ok until it happens again.

The brake light would display in the car. There is a loud grinding noise which happen when breaking. After car is turned off and turned back on its like nothing ever happen. This situation happens randomly.

I have had the same issue that many people are explaining. I will be driving down the road and out of no where the dash brake light will turn on. When I proceed to stop the car the brake will push down to the floor and it will grind and almost sound like a spring. I pull over, turn the car off and then it goes away. It has happened multiple times and there is no warning as to when it will happen.

Brake light indicator came on. Brakes became unresponsive. When pushing the brake pedal, the brakes made a crunchy noise, like metal rubbing together. There was a lot of noise. It was difficult to stop the vehicle. I was in motion on a city street. When I turned the car off and back on, it went back to "normal" with no brake light indicator on.

The brake light randomly turns on. When trying to brake there is a very loud grinding noise. The noise is scary and the brakes work but not as well. This has happen to me while I'm driving. I have to stop turn the truck off then the brake light disappears and starts working again. It's hard to diagnose because it's random. It has happened more than once, I was told it might be a brake booster but can't tell for sure because when I take it to the shop it's normal.

While I am driving my emergency brake light turns on and my brakes locked and it's really hard for me to break the brake pedal also shakes almost leading into an accident.

I have a 2004 Nissan Armada and had the brake light come on yesterday followed by the limited braking, shuttering and pulsing of the brake pedal. . This is my third incident, it happen in year 2014, 2015 and Apr 29 2016. After turn the car off and restart it, the brake light goes off then stops normally again. I have brought my Armada to Nissan dealership in coon rapid mn. They charged me 130$ (diagnostic fee) and no problem solved. After research on internet after my third incident, I learned that thousands of people have experienced the same problem. There was a class action pending on this issues in state of California. Why Nissan is ignoring this problem?. We are scared to drive this vehicle now, I have spent 40k to purchase this vehicle back in 2004. Please someone help resolve this issue.

Brake light comes on and brakes stop working properly. Loud noises and crunching sounds from under the hood. If I turn the truck off and restart, it fixes itself for a couple of weeks or so. Nissan says many things but really dont know. Abs control module $1600. 00 brake booster$800. 00 which I've read does not work . This happens while driving at any speed! so dangerous. I tow a 24' trailer. Not anymore. I also read in s. Carolina, Nissan just lost a law suit on this same subject. Nissan. . . . . Do the right thing and recall before someone dies!.

While driving approx. 30 mph down city street in morning traffic, the emergency brake light randomly comes on and when I try to brake the car make a grinding noise and I do not have full braking power. When you turn the car off it resets and the car resumes to functioning normally. Local mechanic tested once, got no codes so replaced master cylinder. A week later it happens again; took it back and got a code c1179-brake booster. . . . A $900+ job. Refuse to pay this kind of money when research show that this did not resolve the issue. Wrote to Nissan but got no reply. Conducted a search and found that hundreds of people are having the same issue.

I was driving my vehicle that I had just purchased off the parking lot of the dealer when I noticed that the brake light was on the dashboard I proceeded to stop and when I pressed on the brake pedal the vehicle delayed to come to a full stop. I also heard a weird noise sounded like a grinding noise and springs coming from the brake pedal.

The driver side airbag is not working due to a faulty harness assembly. The fuel gauge does not measure fuel accurately. The abs brake light comes on and the brakes stop working while you are driving. Nissan refuses to fix the issues without us paying over 3 grand even though these items were recalled on other Nissans but there is no recall on this particular Nissan. This Nissan needs to be added to the recalls. We bought the car 5 months ago from go automotive and they also refused to fix the issues.

While driving at 45-50 miles per hour, skid and brake lights came on. Immediatly all tires looked and the vehicle skid of the road. I was unable to brake or stop the vehicle, it slid and over turned until it came to a stop on it's own. Before this my heat(a/c unit) went out on it's own as well as the wipers.

While driving on the road at slow normal speed the brake pedal went to floor no braking available with kids in my car this is a known problem with Nissan Armada brake debooster valve equipped with delta sensor . Safety issue that needs to be a recall to resolve this problem. During this no braking the abs light illuminates and slip warning and brake warning light illuminates the only way to resolve this is by safely pulling over and turning the ignition off which then might resolve this problem. Took my car to the dealership they exactly know what the problem is they got the code c1179 which clearly outlines a bad delta sensor within the brake debooster valve . I believe Nissan has know this problem and has not yet made a recall o this issue will like the transport safety board look into this electrical, software , mechanical problem before it's too late whereby innocent lives could be lost . There needs to be a safety recall . The dealership also wants to charge for the software upgrade and yet said this might not fix the problem but if it happens again then the brake debooster valve would have to be replaced , I am shocked to know that they know it's a safety issue but yet tend to ignore this problem frustrated consumer .

I was driving my kids to school and as I approached a stop sign, I noticed my brake light, vdc light and slip light came on. When I pressed on my brakes it made a grinding sound and would not come to a complete stop. I had to jerk my car into neutral and then try to put it into park. When I pressed my brake pad it went all the way down to the ground and then I was able to put my car into park. This all happened while driving in the flow of traffic pulled over and parked, I turned my car off, when I restarted my car the light were off and I drove on my way.

I have had this happen multiple times. I am driving and the brake light goes on on the dash. When I attempt to apply the brakes the whole car shakes and makes a loud noise. The car barely slows. Eventually if I get the car stopped and I restart it the problem goes away. No one has been able to find out what the issue is but it happens to a lot of Armada owners. It's terrifying. It usually happens if I am driving, then turn the car of and then on again within a few minutes. The brakes will fail and I can only get them to work correctly if I restart the car.
