Nissan has been hit with a class action lawsuit for hiding the fact that certain 2004-2006 Nissan Armada and Titan Trucks and Infinity QX56 vehicles contain an allegedly faulty and defective Delta Stroke Sensor, an integral electronic component that controls certain safety aspects of braking.

According to the Nissan class action lawsuit, these affected vehicles “post a significant and immediate safety threat to all users of such vehicles and to the public in general” because “the failure of this defective part results in the braking ability of affected vehicles being disabled to the point where drivers are, without warning and suddenly, unable to stop their vehicle within a reasonably safe time and distance, or at all.”

The lead plaintiff in the case, titled Brandon Banks and Erin Banks v. Nissan North America, Inc., et al., claims that as a result of the failure of the defective Delta Stroke Sensor in their Nissan, she drove through a red light in a busy intersection with her small children in the car because she was unable to brake the car. Thankfully, no collision occurred.

The class action lawsuit further alleges that Nissan knows about the defective part but hides it from consumers and fails to disclose the critical safety defect or issue a voluntary recall of affected Nissan Armada and Titan Trucks and Infinity QX56 vehicles.

The Nissan class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of a proposed class of all U.S. residents who currently own a 2004-2006 Nissan Armada and Titan Trucks or Infinity QX56 or who do not presently own an affected vehicle but incurred monetary loss caused by the failure of the Delta Stroke Sensor, including repair or replacement and other financial loss associated with such failure. It is seeking restitution and recovery of out-of-pocket repair costs, damages, and other relief.
