Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Ever since i purchased this car (2004 nissan pathfinder armada) in december 2003 i am experiencing some brake problems and the dealer has been trying to solve the problem and it is getting worse. the car had only about 3000 miles when it all started. i cooperated with the dealer because he said they were aware of the problem and that nissan's engineers are working to solve the problem and now i cannot invoke the lemon law because it has been over a year, at least this is what a lawyer told me today. anyway, the car started to brake on its own without anyone applying the brakes and the emergency brake lights comes on when this happens. i had it towed to the dealer and they said there was a leak in the master cynlinder. they replaced it after 2 weeks and while my wife was taking the car home, the same problem occured again. this time the dealer is blaming the problem on the brake boosters. they will not have a replacement available before 3 to 6 weeks. the major incident occured on september 29, 2005 but the overall brake problems started in march 2004.
