| 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 steet 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 happed 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 is unsafe to drive. i could not afford a $1,200.00 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. | |||
