“My Nissan Armada only has 67k miles on it like brand new it all of a sudden just lost all power I drove it the night before no issues then the next morning there were 3 lights on which were the vdc, slip, and the check engine light. Also, the trunk on the vehicle doesnt unlock when you hit the button neither does the glass lift door I have to climb in thru the vehicle get inside the trunk and take cover off of the emergency release and hold down lever while someone from the outside opens the door for me while im inside holding the lever down. …”
NHTSA complaint #11113476, filed 2018-07, 67,000 miles“Symptom: Nissan vehicle looses braking ability when this symptom happens. Brake light comes on the dashboard, brake pedal goes all the way to the floor, and there is grinding noise from the front end toward the wheels. Vehicle braking ability is reduced to 10% or less. Turning ignition off/on resolves for short time, but not a permanent fix. Nissan has TSB ntb06-040 to clear the code c1179 from brake module. I had preformed at my cost and issue came back. …”

I have to turn off truck and turn it back on to reset break light. If I use brakes when light is on the ABS does not work, it makes a springy crunching noise when brake is pressed.the pedal went down so easily when it did this. Listen. Help.
