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.
Second time that horn has failed and had to replace steering well assy. twice horn failed to work. all most had accident. and now the horn does not work again.
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.
5 YEARS AGO ANOTHER CAR JUMPED IN FRONT OF SUV I WENT TO USE HORN IT DID NOT WORK. I HAD IT REPLACED AT AN EXPENSEVE PRICE. AND JUST THE OTHER DAY A LITTLE CHILD RAN OUT FROM IS YARD I WENT TO USE HORN AND AGAIN IT HAS STOPED WORKING
THE PAINT ON MY HOOD AND ROOF HAS DISCOLORED. IT LOOKS LIKE THE CLEAR COAT WAS DEFECTIVE. I'VE NOTICED IT ON MANY OTHER NISSAN ARMADAS AND NISSAN TITAN PICK UP TRUCKS. IS THERE A PATTERN ON LOUSY PAINT COATINGS?
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.
AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY BEGAN FLASHING. CODE PULLED AS B1035 CRASH ZONE SENSOR. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT. UPON RESEARCHING VEHICLE AND CODE IT SHOWS THE SAME YEAR AND MAKES OF VEHICLES HAVING EXACT SYMPTOMS AS WELL AS CODE OF B1035. EVEN ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE REGARDING THIS RECALL- IT DOES SHOW A PICTURE ON THE PDF FILE OF A NISSAN ARMADA IMAGE SHOWING INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL THE RECALLED SENSOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED IMMEDIATELY AND MAKE CORRECTIONS WITH ADDING THE ARMADA BEING PART OF THE RECALL. IT HAS SAME EXACT SENSOR PART AND I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HELD ON THE VEHICLE OWNERS PART AS CLEARLY IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART. THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL CALLS I WILL MAKE IF NEEDED TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE IF THIS DOES NOT GET RESOLVED IN A PROMPT MANNER AND IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND DOES NOT DEPLOY AIRBAGS BECAUSE OF RECALLED PART THAT WAS NOT APPROPRIATELY ADDED TO A NHSTA LIST, THERE WILL BE LEGAL ADVICE SOUGHT REGARDING LIABILITY AND INJURIES.
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..
