What owners say about the service brakes
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“On a continuing basis, while vehicle is in motion, applying the brakes causes brake pedal to sink to the floorboard with loss of braking power and with loud grinding noise coming from front of vehicle. Turning vehicle off then back on temporarily fixes the issue.”
“I was driving in traffic and my breaks went out and I almost got in a collision. The breaks at first didn't work and then were bouncing and grinding to stop and the break warning light came on. I swerved and barely missed another car. I pulled over in a parking lot there was a burning smell and let it sit for 4hr. I took it to get the breaks fixed an they couldn't find any issues with the breaking system except for the Delta Stroke Sensor Failure. I understand this has a been an ongoing issue with cars. One situation killed 3 people and Nissan lost a $25M lawsuit on this. I can't understand why this wouldn't be on a recall as issues with the breaking system is life threatening. My car is now at Nissan getting fixed, has been there for 2 weeks, they still can't figure out the issue with the Delta Sensor breaking system. This is very serious and no matter what age of the car, should be covered under a recall. You can find hundreds of articles online to understand how many cars are affected. Please look into this and issue a recall.”
“I've had several near collisions because breaks slip as though the ABS system is engaged and the brake light comes on. I have to find an area to pull off to stop the car then restart it to get rid of the problem temporarily.”
“ABS MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING ,IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IT GRINDS AND IT WILL NOT STOP RIGHT AWAY IM SCARED IT WILL CAUSE ACCIDENT.THE PROBLEM DISAPPEAR WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE.THEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN LIGHTS WILL COME ON BRAKES GRIND AND YOU WONT BE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE RIGHT AWAY.I ALMOST HAVE A CRASH A LOT OF TIMES WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN.PLEASE INVESTIGATE TO ALL NISSAN ARMADA OWNERS.”
“WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND I WILL NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ON. THEN I WILL HEAR LIKE A GRINDING SOUND. AS IF IM DRIVING WITH EMERGENCY BRAKES ON. THE PARKING BRAKES ENGAGE WHILE IM DRIVING. WE TOOK CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR SERVICING BUT THEY COULD NOT DETECT ANY PROBLEM. THERE IS CERTAINLY A PROBLEM WITH BRAKING SYSTEM. I AM AFRAID THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 7 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. WE JUST GOT NEW BRAKES ON OCT. 5 2019. THIS PROBLEM A FEW YEARS AGO AND IT WILL HAPPEN A FEW TIMES A YEAR BUT LATELY ITS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. IT STARYED BACK ON OR ABOUT OCT.1, 2019.”
“BRAKE LIGHT ON MY DASH WILL COME ON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HIT THE BRAKE AND A VIOLENT JERKING AND GRINDING SOUND ON THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE FEELS LIKE IT WOULD SLIP FOR LITTLE AND BUT WILL STILL STOP THE VEHICLE. I TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND EVERYTHING BECAME NORMAL AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET CHECK AND THEY SAID THAT THE WERE NOT ABLE TO MIRROR THE PROBLEM AND SEND THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. NOW IT HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN AND I WOULD JUST TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESOLVES THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND WON. THERE HAD BEEN PLENTY OF COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS PROBLEM TOO FROM OTHER OWNERS. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT WHY IS THERE NO RECALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM STILL.. WHY AM I BEING FORCE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT FIRST AND THEN GET PARTIALLY REIMBURSED”
