Breaks suddenly went out and I couldn't stop. I had our kids in the car.

Earlier in the year the brake light (some times with slip and ABS) came on the dash and suddenly braking was diminished. There was a horrid grinding sound plus vibration under the pedal. I was on highway 17 (a dangerous mountain freeway in CA) going downhill and it was extremely scary as has a car full of friends kids and hardly any brakes. I braked as much as it would allow, down shifted and pulled to the side (which again if you google that highway people die all the time from idiot drivers/speeders/tight corners). I instinctively turned off the car and got out to check off something had gotten caught in my wheel but nothing. I turned the car on and the problem had gone so drove to the nearest garage but he couldn't find anything wrong. I called Nissan but they said they knew of no problems with breaking systems on the Armada and said to bring it in and pay for an expensive diagnosis. When I got home I googled it and found 100s of similar experiences with all sorts of repairs at Nissan that hadn't worked. Some say brake booster, others sensor, other reset or upgrade hardware. Not one actually fix so far but I did find a couple of lawsuits for the same reason so don't understand how this is not a recall. The second time I was in town so it wasn't too bad but hard to stop at the crossing for a pedestrian and today it went again going back up the mountain but luckily don't need to brake much going in that direction. If it can't be fixed and it involves brakes then surely this

Once in awhile when the brakes are applied there is a loud sound that sounds like ache large can being crushed, and the brakes don't work properly. The car sort of lurches to a stop rather than coming to a smooth stop. If the engine is shut off and turned back on nine times out of 10 the brakes will begin to work again but occasionally it takes a few times of restarting the vehicle. I contacted Nissan and they said that they would contact me back and they had a lawyer call me who really just wanted to interrogate me more than offer any kind of solutions or answers. I was able to look up online and see that there is or was a class action lawsuit and that it's a known problem with many Nissan armadas being the master solenoid. This seems to be a continuing safety issue and if someone were to have to come to a quick stop there's no warning that this is going to happen beforehand and would negate any kind of safety stop. This has been going on for many years and is extremely expensive to fix. Which puts it right out for most families to be able to afford fixing this and just having to lope along hoping that it isn't one of those times when the brakes are going to give out in an emergency. Given that Nissan contacted me with a lawyer shows me that they are afraid of what could happen but not yet concerned enough that enough people have died for it to be worth their while cost-wise.

Brakes. Went out with no warning For second time

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Armada. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to slow the vehicle, the contact heard an abnormal sound emanating from the brake pads, requiring increased effort to slow the vehicle. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The ABS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owed a 2006 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact noticed fire and smoke coming from the front passenger side underneath the glove compartment area. The contact stopped and parked the vehicle. The contact exited the vehicle and noticed the vehicle was on fire. The fire department arrived on the scene and extinguished the fire. A fire report was filed. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was left on the shoulder of the road. The contact stated the local police authorities later placed a sticker on the disabled burned vehicle because it was left on the shoulder of the road and had to be removed. The contact stated that the vehicle was junked. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,100.

While driving the brake light came on and when I attempted to stop pedal goes almost to the floor and loud grinding noise is heard. I was able to barely stop the vehicle, I then shut off the vehicle, checked around the vehicle as well as engine compartment not finding any noticeable issue. Restarted the vehicle and brake light was off able to stop with no issue and no grinding noise was heard. Mentioned this to dealer when it was brought in for oil change and they indicated that there was no notice of a recall for this issue. They checked the vehicle and could not find any issues. This has happened several more times where brake light goes on, issue with trying to stop and loud grinding noise. The remedy seems to be to get the vehicle stopped, barely, shut off the vehicle, wait for a short moment and then restart the vehicle. This is very concerning if this happens when needing to make an immediate stop as it takes a bit to get the vehicle to stop when this occurs. Nothing in particular is being done while driving to cause this to happen and I have not been able to replicate.

Several times when driving, my brake light will come on and when pressing the brake, it does not engage. When you press on the pedal you hear a loud grinding sound. It does not slow down the vehicle at all and the grinding is loud and seems to be damaging internal parts. When you turn the engine off, and restart it the problem goes away. I have read so many similar issues with 2006 nissan armada about the brake light. How is this not a safety recall especially when I’m on the freeway driving 65 MPH and all of a sudden brake light comes on! I have to pull over safely and hard to do especially when the brake does not engage at all when the light is on. This is a huge safety concern for me due to the fact that I never know when this is going to happen again. What if it happens while I need to come to a quick emergency stop?! This is a major safety concern that needs to be looked into!!

I was driving on the road and my brake light came on and my brakes failed. As I tried to stop my brakes made a grinding spring noise. I turned the car off and after about 3 minutes I restarted and everything was fine. I continue to drive and less than 10 minutes later it did it again. I have went online to look for information and I see that there was a lawsuit about the booster Delta sensor. I called Nissan and they denied this, and I went to the Nissan dealership and they will check it out because they have not seen any recalls on my vehicle for this problem yet online there's a whole lot of customer complaints about this model doing the exact same thing. Here is the Case# 46966578 Nissan gave me to document the call. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.carcomplaints.com/news/2014/nissan-delta-stroke-sensor-brake-lawsuit.shtml&ved=2ahUKEwiW_sjo1rn5AhXiIEQIHVLABjMQFnoECBsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2DxxR2-Vd0tjpN2-V2JVBq

The airbag light has been on for a while indicating that there is a defect in the airbags . The brakes light comes on randomly and the car brakes on its own without me applying the brakes and that is very dangerous especially on the highway and the transmission light comes on showing the 4x4 light as on for no reason and I would have it on just the 2 wheels

The contact owned a 2006 Nissan Armada. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH and approaching a stop sign, the contact became aware of smoke and then fire coming from underneath the hood. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact and passenger exited the vehicle safely. The contact stated that she had minor hip pain but did not seek medical attention. The contact stated that the Fire Department arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire but not before the vehicle was destroyed. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number 10V517000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) and 08V284000 (Equipment) for which the VIN was included. The approximate failure mileage was 182,000.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Armada. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the brakes warning light illuminated. The brake pedal was depressed and made an abnormal metal-on-metal sound. The contact slowed down, veered to the side of the road, and restarted the vehicle however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic retrieved a delta stroke error code however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 230,815.

I WAS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED AND STEP ON THE BRAKES AND HEAR A TERRIBLE GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES IN ADDITION TO A SPRING LIKE SOUND AND A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN BRAKING POWER. THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS CONTINUES UNTIL I PULL OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN START IT BACK UP AND THE BRAKES WORK FINE. THE NEXT DAY, WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY...BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, LITTLE OR NO BRAKING POWER AND A SHUDDER IN THE BREAKS. AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AS I PULL UP TO THE DRIVEWAY TO PARK MY ARMADA. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I REALLY HOPE THAT NISSAN WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE A RECALL ON BRAKE BOOSTER CAN YOU HELP ME I TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX IT WHAT CAN I DO THIS IS DANGEROUS BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENED THE LIGHT IS ON THE DASH BOARD PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM THANK YOU *TR

THE EMERGENCY AND IMPORTANCE TO RECALL MY VEHICLE WHICH IS A 06 NISSAN ARMADA AND I'M SURE THERE IS PLENTY MORE OUT THERE. THE ISSUE IS THAT MY BRAKES WILL NOT ENGAGE OUT OF NOWHERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DECELERATING FROM 70 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH FORCE UNTIL THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. ONCE IT WAS RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. BANISTER NISSAN OF CHESAPEAKE (930 N BATTLEFIELD BLVD, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320, (757) 214-6342) WAS CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED IN ONE YEAR, MY BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR NO REASON AND I WOULD HAVE NO BRAKES, I CHECK MY FLUID AND PAD NOTHING WAS WRONG PLEASE CALL A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES

FOR SEVERAL MONTH NOW OFF AND ON WHILE I'M DRIVING THE TRUCK MAKES A LOUD NOISE, STEERING WHEEL SHAKES THEN I HEARD A SPRING NOISE. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK IS GOING TO FALL APART. THEN THE SLIP AMD VDC OFF SENSOR COMES ON. THEN IT STOPS SENSOR LIGHTS GO AWAY. THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, IT'S BEEN REAL FREQUENT LATELY.

ENGINE STALLS. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLS. THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR WHEN COASTING, ACELLERATING OR BRAKING AND CAUSES DANGER AS I WAS UNABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER FROM THE LEFT AND MIDDLE LANE OF TRAFFIC, OR ON THE FREEWAY. OCCURS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. RESEARCH SHOWS A FAULTY ECM WITH SILICONE DIOXIDE BUILD UP ON THE ECM SENSOR CONTACT INSIDE THE IPDM.
