Yes I have an 06 also, took it to them today for the same problem. Charged me for diagnostic test and said I need a brake booster, but going by what I have read on here it's very common. Seems to me this should be a recall item that Nissan should be paying if not all at least 80% of.

Sorry to hear all the issues guys. My 04 has been working flawlessly. Even had to tow my 11,500 lb boat trailer about 200 miles with no trailer brakes when they died on me and the Armada actually stopped all 16,500lbs!
I did notice that when my pads went low that I started getting an ABS and Brake lights (forget which 3 they were on the dash but more than just the usual brake light that comes on when the pads go low) and once I swapped the pads to new Akebonos they have been fine since.

Brake Issues

I have read through alot of the problems that the Armada's are having with the brakes and I find it very hard to believe that some of the dealers and reps are okay with telling people to pull over and reset it by starting the engine again. How many people have to get hurt or worst yet die before Nissan bites the bullet and does a recall to repair all of these issues. I am sure most of you know that these vehicles were not cheap and we should be getting a quality vehicle for the price we paid. If anyone has had the reprogramming and has not had any issues, I'd love to hear from you.

well yes it did happen. more than once.. however, since my post NISSAN had taken the responsibilty and replaced the ABS system.. and it only took from APRIL - SEPTEMBER to get it done!! CARMAZ also volunteered to fix the other issues. So my truck has been okay for the last month. PERSISTANCE is KEY.. ifyou value your life that the PRECIOUS CARGO you ride in your TRUCK., dont give up until its been taken care of. I dont know how many people it will take for them to take care of it.. BUT we shouldnt have to almost die or kill someone else to get help.. THANK GOD i didnt.

What procedures did you have to follow to get Nissan to take care of the problem? I have the same issues and would like to expediate the process as much as possible, Thanks for your help.

Hi. I took the Car to NISSAN and CARMAX several times. I called NISSANs corporate.. and I called CARMAX corporate. Within 1 day BOTH corporates called me back.. Both asked me for copies of my receipts. Both told me that someone would call me back within 24hours. NISSAN was first. they told me to call dealership and make an appt to get the ABS fixed. You have to call the corporate and let them know whats going on. You will have to prove how many times you have had the issue and they should help you out. I hope that this helps you.

I have an '05' Armada and had the ABS brake issue, I took it to the Nissan Dealer. The first time they re-set the computer. The second time they tried to do the same thing and I said I was in already for that. They called technical support and had to order a new brake "booster"/box. We were leaving for vacation the next day and she told me that it was "unsafe" to drive the truck, apparently the first time they didn't care?
They said the part was about $1200. I have the extended warranty, not sure if it helped or not with only having to deal with it twice. Good Luck

I owned a 2005, I finally had enough and filed a breach of warrant suit. It is basically the same as the lemon law. It was filed due to my vehicle having over 15k miles. A lemon law attorney did the work. I never met face to face every thing was done over the computer and the mail. I was able to sell that piece of shit back to the dealer. Every state sets the limits on the amounts. I advise everyone to contact a lemon law attorney. I was able to show I had the vehicle back to the dealer 3x in one year for the same problem (the Brakes) . Good Luck !!!
