At random times, usually when transmission in drive, the brake light displays on the dash and immediately the brakes do not work appropriately. The brake pedal sinks to the floor when depressed while making a loud groaning/grinding sound. The brakes fail. I have to stop the car by pumping the brake pedal, turning off the motor and then once auto restarts the problem is gone until next time. Very dangerous. At higher speeds could cause serious accident with injury or death. Happened several times on expressway. Happened in parking lots and on side streets. Frightening situation. Dealers act ignorant about this problem even tho this seems to be a common complaint with this vehicle. I understand it is the ABS booster that needs to be replaced. Others said it is the computer. I spent 4 hours 2 wks ago at dealer who "found nothing." Yet the situation has increased fron a few times a year to 3 times this week.

I was driving on freeway around 60mph on a sudden brake paddle got soft brakes light ABS light everything came on dashboard.whenever I pressed the brake it feels like not pressing anything but the brake was still working but not smooth.. it's like U pressing hard brake every time. But when I restarted the truck everything disappeared from dashboard N brake paddle started working normally. So whenever it was happening I was keep restarting the truck. So I I went to Firestone they said I need to change master cylinder flash the brake fluid rotors N pads all way around which cost me almost 1500$. once they did those services after couple of months same problem occurring again. Now Firestone said it's ABS probably. I looked online lots of had same this unknown problem N it's dangerous.. it's pointi on its reliability.. I can't even sell the truck cz I don't want to put anyone's life in danger so plz I really this it's need to be taken care by dealer. Thank you

I've made some research and I'm surprised to find out I'm not the only one that has this problem. Sometimes without notice the brake light comes on as you try to brake you hear a loud grinding noise and loose braking power. I pull over turn off the truck for a few seconds, turn it back on and the brake light goes away. It works good after that but sometimes I get the same problem multiple times through out the day. It gets scary when traffic suddenly stops and that happens. Nissan should really make a recall on this.

I was driving down a main roadway when the brake, vdc, ABS and 4X4 lights all came on. The car also started making a bonging grinding and vibrating when I pressed the brakes. I pulled off to the side of the road and turned the car off. I checked to see if I could find anything wrong. I couldn't see anything so I turned the car back on and all the lights were still on but the noise and vibrating had stopped. I made it home without it making the noise again. The next weeks went by and all the lights are still on and it makes the noise and vibration each time I turn the car on but and I pressed the brakes a few times it goes away expect the lights are always on now.

The brakes suddenly quit working properly, vibration, grinding, etc. The SUV will stop if you baby the brake pedal. If I turn ign. Off, then back on, the problem goes away.

Break was fixed as part of recall but now the same problem reappeared. The dealer says fix was one off and now have to pay for diagnosis and repair. Spent hours in many different calls to 1-800-nissan1. They are giving me run around and not authorizing the same dealer to redo the recalled components. The Nissan agent refused to consider it a safty recall issue. Nissan created case number: 26306021 agent id: 7319032

Takata recall "ABS braking system, entire system fails the brake light and ABS brakel light, tics light all come on instrument panel, when stepping on brake pedal, then a wierd noise sound then brake pedal sinks to floor with the brakes grabbing and locking up causing tires to lock and slide, this happens frequently sometimes twice in the same time, then it might go without occurring for weeks or months at a time, this is very dangerous I just happen to know somewhat how to deal with problem, as I'm applying brakes when it always happen, but if I was braking heavily and it happen no way, would I not crash into what ever in front of me, it only happens while truck is in motion, and during braking.

Doesn't matter the speed of the vehicle, brakes tend to press to the floor, grinding noise and the only way to stop this is to pull over the vehicle, turn off the ignition and restart it. It randomly happens, but I am very concerned that if and when I tow or am on the highway, I don't won't my brakes to not work. Could kill me...I have had an issue with brakes and lights coming on that says vdo, antilock etc: When driving the SUV at lower speeds and you try to apply the brakes the whole front end starts shaking and grinding and it is impossible to stop. I have replaced brakes, rotors, wheel hub bearings and still have this problem. It is scary when you can't stop a 7,000lb vehicle! I am in fear of an accident. I have read of others having the same problem. Sometimes when running hyw speeds a lot of lights come on and dingers and this has been happening since I bought the Armada. I want to know what Nissan is gonna do about this problem cause it seems I am not the only one having these issues. By the way this is going on since I purchased the vehicle back on 10/2006.

I was driving about 30 mph on a city street and step on the brakes when approaching a stop sign. The brake pedal felt real soft and I could hear a grinding sound coming from the brakes and the ABS and vdc lights came on. I had to pull off the road, turn the vehicle off and on again a couple of times before I could continue driving. This has happened to my wife and I 13 times.

- Albany, OR, USA

Drive in parking lot with slow speed. Red break light is suddenly on then the grinding sound is occurred. If try to touch the break, you feel it is difficult to response. It seems the break is engaged. It will be back to normal when you turn off the engine then turn it on. The red "break" light is off then back to normal. No any beak oil leaking. Go garage to check the odb2 code and there is no any error code for it. It seems the break booster gets messed up and no code recording for 2004 Armada. It is safety issue that the break will engage randomly. It is lucky that it happens in the parking lot with almost stop speed. It will be terrible when it happen in the high way.

I have a 2004 Nissan Armada and had the brake light come on yesterday followed by the limited braking, shuttering and pulsing of the brake pedal.. this is my third incident, it happen in year 2014, 2015 and Apr 29 2016. After turn the car off and restart it, the brake light goes off then stops normally again. I have brought my Armada to Nissan dealership in coon rapid mn. They charged me 130$ (diagnostic fee) and no problem solved. After research on internet after my third incident, I learned that thousands of people have experienced the same problem. There was a class action pending on this issues in state of California. Why Nissan is ignoring this problem?. we are scared to drive this vehicle now, I have spent 40K to purchase this vehicle back in 2004. Please someone help resolve this issue.
