I BOUGHT THIS 2006 NISSAN ARMADA BRAND NEW. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY. THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON AND A GRIDING NOISE COMES OUT WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID IT SOFWARE ISSUE WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE AND IT WORKED FOR COUPLE OF YEARS THEN AGAIN AND AGAIN, I SPEND ABOUT $160 EACH TIME TO CORRECT THE SOFTWARE NOW. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT NEEDS SOME PARTS AND SOFTWHERE UPGRADE ABOUT $750, SO I PARKED THE CAR AND I'M LOOKING FOR OTHER ALTERNATIVES. ANY ONE KNOW OF A RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ALONG IN TRAFFIC AT BETWEEN 30-40 MILES PER HOUR FOLLOWING ABOUT 3+ CAR LINKS BEHIND, I WENT TO MAKE AN EMERGENCE STOP AND HAD VERY DIMINISHED BRAKING POWER AND ENDED UP HITTING THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE (LUCKY NOT HITTING SOMEONE) AND TOOK IT TO MY NISSAN DEAL WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO BRAKE PROBLEMS. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND MY DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE EXPRESSED TO NISSAN USA THAT THE PROBLEM SOUNDS VERY FAMILIAR TO THE REPORTS IN THEIR OPEN RECALL "TEM AFFECTED: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER DATE ANNOUNCED: 10/21/2013 DESCRIPTION OF RECALL: NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
