Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2004 nissan armada and was traveling at low speed when the brakes failed. the vehicle rolled out into the intersection before stopping. just prior to stopping it felt like the abs was trying to engage, but the pavement was not slippery. i drove slowly and tried the brakes a few more times and every time it felt like the abs was kicking in, but the braking was severly diminished. i drove the vehicle slowly)about 1 mile to a dealership. turned the vehicle off, and when we turned it back on again , the problem was gone. the tech nician did a code scan and found that the abs needed to be reprogrammed, which was being done now. i dod a search on the internet and this seemed prevelant in the 2004 armadas and titans. my concern that the complaints i have read showed that this continuedc to recur even after the reprogramming. if this happened unexpectedly at high speed and a panic stop the results will be catastrophic. this should be investigated. thanks. *ak
