BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH FAILURE FOR SECOND TIME ON A 2017 NISSAN ARMADA. BECAUSE NISSAN REPAIRED THIS A YEAR AGO (MIND YOU WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD AND HAD TO BE TOWED FROM TOLEDO) THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAVE STATED THAT IT OUTSIDE OF THE 12,000 MILES, ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON THE PART. NISSAN HAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS SWITCH ASSEMBLY. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN NOTED THAT THERE WERE TWO OTHER ARMADAS IN FOR THE SAME REPAIR THAT WEEK. THIS IS NOT ONLY A REPUTATIONAL ISSUE BUT A SAFETY ISSUE. ONE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS WITH THE SWITCH IS THAT IT IS NOT RECOGNIZING WHEN YOU APPLY YOUR FOOT TO THE BRAKE!

REED NISSAN IS REPLACING PART #25320-AX10A, BRAKE SWITCH ON MY 2017 NISSAN ARMADA. VIN # ....... THE PARTS AND LABOR EQUAL, $250.27. THE PRICE IS NOT MY ISSUE, LET'S BE CLEAR. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY. THIS MORNING MY VEHICLES TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP, FOLLOWED BY THE INABILITY TO STOP!!! I ALMOST REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SMOKE. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD WITH LITTLE TO NO BRAKE LEFT TO STOP MY VEHICLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE IF THIS PART IS NOT RECALLED AND CORRECTED. I HAD JUST DROPPED MY 8 MONTH OLD AND 2 YEAR OLD OFF TO DAYCARE!!! I WAS TOLD BY RILEY THEY HAVE REPLACED THIS PART ON MULTIPLE ARMADA'S AND NISSAN HAS FAILED TO RECALL THIS PART.
