Consumer Description

NISSAN ARMADA HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH IT'S FRONT BRAKES BEING UNDERSIZED IN THE EARLY MODELS OF SAID VEHICLES (MODEL YEARS 2004-2006). SEVERAL TIMES HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH BRAKES NOT RESPODING AND LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS IS CAUSED BY UNDERSIZED BREAKS. NOT HAVING PROPER SIZED BRAKES HAS LED TO ROTORS EASILY OVERHEATING AND GLAZING THE BRAKE PADS WHICH THEN LED TO HOT SPOTTED, WARPED, OR OTHERWISE RUINED FRONT ROTORS AND PADS. THE GREATEST UNSAFE SYMPTOM IS THAT ESPECIALLY IN THE WARMER MONTHS THE OVERHEATING OF THE ROTORS WOULD CAUSE THE ANTI-LOCK FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM SENSORS TO TRIGGER (FALSE POSITIVE) RANDOMLY AND YOU WOULD DANGEROUSLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLES ABILITY TO BRAKE (AND STEER) SAFELY. *TR
