Armada

  • 59,637 miles
2006 Nissan Armada vehicle dynamic control and brake lights come on and brakes failed. The problem first occurred as I was driving on a straight, flat street at about 40 miles per hour. Pressing the brakes causes a loud crunching noise on the front that sounded like the brakes being chewed up. It has happened about four times in about a 6-month period before taking the vehicle in for the recent recalls on the fuel and some under the vehicle problem. Since that time the problem occurs constantly. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and they ran test 59637 which showed code C1189 booster defect. It also states that is "unsafe to drive." I could not afford a $1,200 repair job so they said that they could reprogram it to see if that would solve the problem, and it did not. I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs, and they refused to do anything about it because the warranty had already run out. I complained because this is a safety issue and because I have since learned that there are hundreds of the exact same problem experienced by other Nissan Armada owners. It is a safety issue, and it should be addressed by Nissan. By the way, this is my 5th Nissan vehicle and I had never had any just major problem. I know that if you own a vehicle that you are going to have to have it repaired periodically. But I believe that this one needs to be addressed by Nissan.
