I OWN A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA LE. IT HAS RECENTLY HAD SERIOUS BRAKING PROBLEMS, IT IS INTERMITTENT, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY. APPROX. 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK, I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THEY DID NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. I HAD NO BRAKING POWER, THEN IT STARTED MAKING GRINDING NOISES BUT I STILL COULD NOT STOP IN A SAFE MANNER. MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT THE CAR AND WE SWITCHED KEYS-MEANING WE TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN ON AGAIN. AFTER THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF THE BRAKES BEGAN TO PERFORM NORMALLY. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO LES SCHWABB AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES BUT THEY BLED THE SYSTEM AND PUT NEW FLUID IN. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AND THE FIX IS ALWAYS TURNING THE TRUCK OFF. I AND MY CHILDREN WERE PUT IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION ON A MAJOR ROAD. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2006 ARMADA'S. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
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 RE: 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. *TR
