My Nissan Armada caught fire with no warning. Nissan has admitted this is due to a recalled air compressor unit with likelihood to catch fire. Nissan will not remedy the situation and is now negotiating in bad faith. Nissan has offered to buy out the car so they can sell the components at auction - however, they are unwilling to make us whole.

While driving approximately 25 mph, I applied pressure to the brake pedal and the brake pedal fell to the floor. We had no braking power at all. I heard a grinding noise coming from the brakes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technicians stated they could not find a problem. The vehicle was not repaired. This has happened three times already and this is a real safety hazard!!!!! one of times it happened at 40 mph what if I cant stop the next time it happens who is going to be responsible for this.
