Hello all, need some help figuring out why our 2017 Nissan Armada is so rough when coming to a stop. I’ll try to explain the best I can. We bought this suv last summer as a certified pre owned with 39k miles on it from Nissan dealer. Powerful truck!
Here’s the issue: when decelerating, there is a noticeable jerking motion from about 40mph until stopped. The jerking motion slows as the speed decreases in a very linear fashion. For perspective, my wife and I feel like bobble heads in the suv when coming to a stop! If you have a coffee cup full in your hand, you better be prepared for that coffee to be sloshing around.
This is in stark contrast to the smoothness with which my Tundra comes to a stop. Is it the transmission? Brakes? There’s no decrease in braking power, just the jerking back and forth motion almost as if the brakes are having to overcome or fight with the transmission.
If you knowledgeable folks can help point me in the right direction I’d be grateful!
