Affected Years: 2017, 2018, 2019 Nissan Armada. Our law firm is also investigating 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 Nissan Armada for the same issues.
These issues seem to arise from defects in the ABS/Master Cylinder.
One of the biggest safety improvements for cars since the automobile was invented is the Anti-lock brake system, or ABS. Most vehicle owners are shocked to learn that the first identified need for ABS was for aircraft, and ABS was first invented in the 1920’s. The purpose of ABS has been the same from the beginning, which is to prevent tires from skidding when slowing a vehicle to a full stop as rapidly as possible. The ABS products on vehicles today have been mandated as a standard since 2012, and many drivers have rarely operated a vehicle without them.
A big safety hazard that exists today is vehicles on the road with the ABS light on and the vehicle system logging an error code. This, in all likelihood, means that the ABS system isn’t working. Your Nissan Armada will still stop, but under certain conditions, it won’t do so without locking up the wheels and triggering a slide or skid, and the vehicle becomes difficult to handle. If you have issues with your Nissan Armada antilock brake system, and the dealer has been unable to get it successfully repaired after several attempts, it might now be considered a Lemon Law eligible defect, making your Nissan eligible for remedy under Lemon Law in California. If the manufacturer is unwilling to respond or negotiate with you, then you might need to hire a Nissan Armada lemon law attorney. If you believe this is the next step, please call Guardian Lemon Law. We can sue Nissan for selling you a defective, lemon Nissan Armada.
Is Filing A Lawsuit Required To Begin A Lemon Law Claim
It is typically not necessary to file a lawsuit in order to make a Lemon Law claim, especially if the manufacturer is willing to work with you on your claim and request. The process will not require legal representation, but Guardian Lemon Law wants you to know that a manufacturer like Nissan will have lawyers engaged in the process. You are going to have to sign some paperwork for a settlement if that is your goal. In our experience, you may not get everything you are entitled to without advice and representation.
Worst case, you might sign something that surrenders your legal right to pursue Nissan for anything else that might happen. Guardian Lemon Law recommends that, at a minimum, you have an attorney review the legal documents that the manufacturer is asking you to sign when settling a claim. If you need an experienced Nissan Armada brake system failure lemon lawyer, please don’t hesitate to contact Guardian Lemon Law.
What You Should Know about Lemon Law In California
In 1970, the California state legislature determined a need for a new law aimed primarily at providing consumers protection and resolution options from manufacturers when it came to honoring warranties. In 1971, a bill titled the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act was signed into law, largely designed to provide this. It remains the foundation of the California Lemon Law today. The list of purchases covered by the Lemon Law isn’t limited to just vehicles. Anything that comes with an express warranty, including items like single-family homes, appliances, and even medical devices and electronics, is covered. To be eligible for Lemon Law protection under California law, there are conditions that the law requires to be met by the consumer. The biggest of these is that the consumer must allow the manufacturer the chance to fix the problem that is covered under warranty. If it is time to file a Nissan Armada defective ABS/master cylinder lemon lawsuit, Guardian Lemon Law is ready to help you, and we bring a Zero-Fee guarantee with the process. The first thing we are going to do once we are hired is complete a case evaluation.
The Qualifications For Vehicles To Be Lemon Law Eligible
Lemon Law qualifications for eligibility are generally easy to understand. The most obvious one, but often times overlooked, is that the vehicle repair must be focused on the same general issue without resolution. Consumers make the mistake that the Lemon Law covers them for a total number of repairs across different issues. This is not the case. While it is true that people experiencing multiple issues with the same car call that vehicle a lemon, by law, it isn’t considered to be one. The qualifications are:
- Your vehicle cannot be misused in a manner that could cause the issue
- The vehicle remains under the manufacturer’s warranty at the time of each repair attempt, from the first report to the last
- The consumer allows repair attempts to be made to repair the issue, referred to as a reasonable effort. This is defined as a minimum of two tries for issues that are safety-related, and four efforts for non-safety-related things
- The vehicle is in the hands of the dealership repair staff for more than 30 days cumulative time for the same problem or fault
- The problem reported is directly impacting the safety, use, or value of the vehicle
Guardian Lemon Law will perform the assessment and determine the status of your vehicle and its potential qualification under lemon law. If the vehicle meets the qualifications, we can provide you with a lawyer experienced in litigating a Nissan Armada brake system failure lemon law lawsuit.
What Is The New Time Limit To File A Lemon Law Claim Set in 2025?
The Statute of Limitations in the State of California for filing a lemon lawsuit sets the time limit by mandating two different dates related to the purchase of your Nissan. Your claim or lawsuit must be filed within one year of the expiration of your factory warranty, or within six years from the date of vehicle delivery to you, whichever comes first on the calendar. Our goal is to ensure the suit or claim does get filed in time. If you are interested in hiring a lemon lawyer to sue Nissan for brake system failure, you can contact Guardian Lemon Law to start the process.
The 2017-2019 Nissan Armada Brake Issues, Symptoms, And Customer Experiences
For the 2017-2019 Nissan Armada, unresponsive brakes and increased stopping distances are often caused by component failures in the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) actuator pump seal, power brake booster diaphragms, or glitches in the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system.
- A dash warning light would typically be the first indication of the issue with the vehicle’s ABS module. The most common causes are listed below.
- The ABS actuator leaks, causing a known issue where it can allow brake fluid to leak onto the circuit board, which can cause intermittent brake failure or trigger electrical shorts, also making the system intermittent
- A rupture in the brake booster diaphragm will usually result in a hissing sound when the pedal is pressed and lead to a stiff brake pedal. This dramatically increases the physical effort needed to stop the SUV by making the brake pedal difficult to depress.
- Automatic emergency braking (AEB) glitches are caused by the radar sensors and software for the FCW/AEB systems having issues, a known issue that malfunctions on Armadas. This leads to instances where the SUV will experience sudden, unprompted braking or sluggish unresponsiveness randomly
- Faulty brake pedal sensors and stop lamp switches can prevent the vehicle from sensing the pedal is being pressed, making it difficult to shift out of “Park” or start the engine.
Nissan has issued recalls regarding the ABS actuator fluid leak issue and the AEB software glitches (NHTSA campaign number 19V-807/Nissan R1911). You can run your VIN through the NHTSA recalls portal or via Nissan’s recall page to see if your Nissan Armada is subject to the recall and repairs.
