I hate to resurrect this thread, but I'm venting. My wife had told me that the "BRAKE, VDC OFF and SLIP" lights had come on so I searched and found this thread(Love the internet). I checked the brake fluid and it was barely above the minimum which explains why the lights were not "always" on.
Here's the pisser. The Armada was taken to the dealer not too long ago to have the rotors turned for the third time(14K miles) for the whole warped rotor defect. I was under the impression that we'd get the "permanent" fix. When we looked at the service order, it was the SOS. OMG, NISSAN MUST BE OWNED BY A FRENCH COMPANY(cuz they are)!
Now the even bigger pisser. I can
[email protected] and moan about the rotor design flaw and lay blame straight on Nissan's lap. However, the dealership didn't even check the fluid. There's no way that the BF could have boiled off that fast. When you work on the brake system of a vehicle, you always check the fluid level.
My Trooper had 129,000 miles on trade and never had the fluid boil off at that rate. I just can't fathom it. I'm sick of this $40K styrofoam cup with bad brakes. Time to review Texas' Lemon Law...
