2004 Nissan Armada complaints

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM IN REGARDS TO THE NISSAN ARMADA BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON WITHOUT WARNING DURING DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE ON AND OFF THE FREEWAY. I WOULD TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND THE BRAKES LIGHT WOULD GO OFF, RESETTING THE BRAKING SYSTEM TO NORMAL FUNCTION. THIS LAST TIME WAS ENOUGH AND I FINALLY TOOK IT INTO NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER, AND IT WOULD BE OVER $1000 TO FIX!! NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FAULTY SENSOR OR PART. ITS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. THANK GOODNESS MY WIFE AND INFANT DAUGHTER HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THE VEHICLE WHENEVER THIS HAPPENED. DO BETTER NISSAN, I'VE HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE OTHER THAN THIS. *TR

THE BRAKES DO NO WORK PROPERLY. THE ABS ENGAGES SPORADICALLY AND THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. THE BRAKING SYSTEMS DOES NOT WORK NORMALLY AND THERE IS A LOSS OF BRAKE FUNCTION. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, THE ISSUE RESETS AND THE BRAKES WILL WORK AGAIN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. AS I EXITED OFF THE FREEWAY AND TRIED TO STOP THE BRAKES WERE MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE AND FAILED ME. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AS MY CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP AT ALL, THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO USE THE TRANSMISSION TO SLOW THE CAR BY DROPPING DOWN TO FIRST GEAR. I HAD MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT IN AN ACCIDENT ALTHOUGH WAS VERY CLOSE AS THERE WERE CARS IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED AT A LIGHT. WHEN I CAME HOME WE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND PADS AND BOTH WERE FINE. WHEN WE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT REOCCUR. I HAVE MY CAR MAINTENANCE VERY REGULARLY AND THIS PROBLEM STUMPED OUR NORMAL MECHANIC. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AMONG VEHICLES LIKE MINE AND IS APPARENTLY THE BREAK BOOSTER WHICH NISSAN WILL FIX FOR $800. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING THAT A CAR CAN LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF ITS ABILITY TO BREAK JUST LIKE THAT WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THEN AFTER I TURN IF OFF AND BACK ON BE JUST FINE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE NO PROBLEM FIXING THE BREAK BOOSTER BUT HOW IS NISSAN ABLE TO INSURE ME THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN? I FEEL VERY UNSAFE KNOWING AT ANY TIME IT COULD RE OCCUR. *TR

BRAKE JUTTER, GRINDING, SHAKING WHEN BRAKING. ABS VDL SLIP BRAKE LIGHTS UP ON DASH--UNABLE TO TURN OFF. STOPPING VEHICLE AND RESTARTING CORRECTS THE PROBLEM SOMETIMES; OTHER TIMES THE LIGHT STAYS ON. BRAKE PADS ORIGINALLY REPLACED EARLY AFTER PURCHASE IN 2005 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE IS RARELY DRIVEN--THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 36K MILES ON THE VEHICLE--BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PERSISTENT OVER THE YEARS WHEN DRIVEN. LATELY, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE MORE OFTEN AND THE PROBLEM IS CONTINUING AND IT IS MORE APPARENT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE BRAKES. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE LIFT GATE AS IT RECENTLY STOPPED FUNCTIONING WHEN PRESSING THE KEY FOB OR EITHER OF THE SWITCHES INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I BEGAN OPENING AND CLOSING THE LIFT GATE MANUALLY AND NOW IT WILL NOT CLOSE SECURELY, I.E., IT IS NOT GETTING THAT FINAL SEAL WHEN CLOSED. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW NO LONGER GOES UP OR DOWN AND DOES NOT WORK WHEN USING THE DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER SWITCH. FINALLY, THE DRIVER'S SEAT DOES NOT RESET TO THE POSITION PROGRAMMED WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS AND TURNS OFF. I DECIDED TO RESEARCH THE INTERNET TODAY AND WAS QUITE SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2004 AMADA. CALLED A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TODAY AND THEY WERE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. JUST AS SO MANY HAVE WRITTEN ALL OVER THE INTERNET, THE DEALER SUGGEST THAT YOU BRING THE VEHICLE IN WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE

2004 NISSAN ARMADA BRAKE ISSUE. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE BRAKES START GRINDING AND ITS HARD TO STOP, EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. ONCE I AM ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER, I THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKES GO BACK TO PERFORMING NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THIS MOST RECENT TIME HAPPENED WHILE TOWING A 6500 LB LOAD. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF US. I HAVE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH ON THE ARMADA AND TITAN FORUMS AND THEY REFERENCE NTP06-040 AS WELL AS A RATHER EXPENSIVE BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACEMENT AT CLOSE TO $1000. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RATHER PREVALENT WITH THE ARMADA MODEL. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THIS ISSUE WILL OCCUR AND I AM A BIT WORRIED THAT IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND/OR INJURY. *JB

WHILE TRAVELING ON ROAD (GOOD CONDITIONS) THE BRAKE LIGHT (RED) COMES ON AND A GRINDING NOISE ALONG WITH A MODERATE BRAKING COMES ON WITHOUT DRIVER EVER TOUCHING PARKING BRAKE OR FOOT BRAKE. WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED THE VEHICLE COMES TO A SUDDEN STOP ALONG WITH LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THIS GRINDING NOISE CONTINUES UNTIL THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICING BUT NO RESOLUTION. THIS IS A GRAVE SAFETY HAZARD. *JB

2004 NISSAN ARMADA BRAKE ISSUE. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE BRAKES START GRINDING AND ITS HARD TO STOP. THEN THE E BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. ONCE I GET PULLED OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE IT SEEMS TO BE FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE GETTING VERY NERVOUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WORRIED ABOUT TOWING OR HIGH SPEEDS THIS COULD BE FATAL. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM FRACTURED AND BECAME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE ENTIRE REAR SUSPENSION WAS CORRODED, CRACKED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 ARMADA I BOUGHT NEW IN 2005. 08/2011 WAS THE FIRST TIME MY ABS VDL SLIP LIGHTS CAME ON AS I WAS BRAKING, ALONG WITH A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE WITH MY BRAKES. I WAS GOING ABOUT 20 MPH AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP. MY BRAKING WAS IMPAIRED, AND IF I TOUCHED THE BRAKES ANYMORE, MY FOOT WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR. NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO, AFTER TRYING THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES (WHICH WAS MORE GRINDING NOISES) I SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED WITH NO FURTHER ISSUES UNTIL 10/2012 WHEN THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME I WAS GOING 40 MPH ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY. I REPORTED IT TO MY NISSAN DEALER. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO DRIVE IT IN WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENING. THEN 04/24/13 & 04/30/13 THE PROBLEM RECURRED. ON 04/24/13, I WAS DRIVING 40 MPH AT THE TIME THAT I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE. ON 04/30/13, I WAS RIGHT BY AN AUTO ZONE WHEN IT HAPPENED. THEY READ THE CODE WHILE LIGHTS WERE ON, AND SAID THE CODE WAS 1179. AGAIN, THE SAME LIGHTS WERE ON, AND AGAIN, THEY TURNED OFF AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR. I CALLED NISSAN SERVICE WHO TOLD ME AGAIN THAT THEY NEED TO READ THE CODE WITH LIGHTS ON. THEY STATED 1179 "MEANT NOTHING TO THEM" BECAUSE IT WASN'T DONE AT A NISSAN DEALER. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHO SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING OF THIS PROBLEM. 08/18/13 RECURRENCE OF SAME ISSUE WHILE DRIVING DOWNTOWN CHICAGO IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. BROUGHT IT IN WITH NO LIGHTS ON TO NISSAN SERVICE (WHO HAVE SAID I NEED THE LIGHTS ON TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG). NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY ARE TEL

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT 35 MPH I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THEY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE BRAKES RECOVERED. SHORTLY AFTER THE BRAKES DID THE SAME THING AGAIN AND I ALMOST CRASHED INTO SOMEONE BUT WAS ABLE TO SWERVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED, INCREASING THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED. THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER REGARDING A BRAKING ISSUE AND THE DEALER COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,235.

WHILE APPLYING BRAKES, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY A SERIOUS REDUCTION IN BRAKING POWER, SHUTTERING, GRINDING AND PULSING OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED. I ALMOST REAR ENDED A VEHICLE BUT WAS ABLE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AT FAIRLY HIGH SPEED TO AVOID TRAFFIC. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ALL DAY AND FOUND THAT MANY ARMADA'S IN MY YEAR RANGE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND I APPLIED THE BRAKES WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE GROUND AND A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SLIP LIGHT CAME ON. THE CARS BRAKES DIDN'T SQUEEZE TIGHT ENOUGH TO STOP THE SUV WITHIN A SAFE DISTANCE AND CAUSED ME TO RUN THE STOP SIGN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE GOING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM I HAD TO SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT. IT HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES WITHIN THREE MONTHS. *TR

FOR EVERYONE WITH THE BRAKE ISSUE ON THE NISSANS 2004-2007. THIS IS A FAULTY DELTA STROKE SENSOR AND NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF IT SINCE 2004. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND WAS DECLINED LIKE EVERYONE ELSE BECAUSE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WARRANTY. THERE ARE OVER 296 COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE AND THE NHTSA HAS DONE NOTHING. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR ALL CONSUMERS WHO OWN A VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE UNDER [XXX]. THERE IS ALSO AN ATTORNEY FOR CLASS ACTION AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS ISSUE AS WELL HER NAME IS [XXX] AT [XXX] LAW PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX] I URGE EVERYONE TO CALL HER PLEASE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. TOOK IT INTO NISSAN AND I WAS CHARGED ABOUT $100 TO REPROGRAM THE SYSTEM. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIXED BUT APPARENTLY IT DID NOT. LUCKILY, WE HAVEN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET. *TR

I HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED COMPLAINT ALONG WITH UP OF 200 OTHERS IN REGARDS TO THE FAULTY DELTA SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSING THE BRAKES TO FAIL WITHOUT WARNING, NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND DOES NOTHING, I AM NOW PREPARED TO GO TO ABC NEWS WITH ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I AM COLLECTING. I HOPE THAT THEY WILL SEE THAT THE NHTSA IS DOING SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THE COMPLAINTS THEY HAVE RECEIVED. I HAVE NOT SEEN UP TO THIS POINT ANY OPEN INVESTIGATIONS. I HOPE SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE TO DIE FIRST. THANK YOU *TR

AS MANY, MANY OTHER HAVE STATED ON THE NISSAN FORUMS, THIS VEHICLE HAS SOME DANGEROUS BRAKING ISSUES. WE HAVE HAD OUR ARMADA FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AT LEAST NINE TIMES. THANKFULLY FOR US, IT HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS OR IN A SITUATION WHERE WE HAD TO STOP INSTANTLY. HERE IS AN EXPLANATION OF OUR ISSUES: WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL WE IMMEDIATELY HEARD A GRINDING AND POPPING NOISE, AS WELL AS NOISES INDICATING THAT THE ABS WAS ACTIVATING OFF AND ON. THE PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND KICKS BACK MULTIPLE TIMES. THE BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS WAS SEVERELY DIMINISHED. WE HAVE TO PULL OVER, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN BEFORE WE CAN CONTINUE DRIVING. I FIND THIS TO BE A SEVER ISSUE WHICH IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED, IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY. MORE THAN A FEW CLASS ACTION LAW SUITES HAVE BEEN FILED FOR THIS ISSUE IN THE TITAN TRUCK, ARMADA AND INFINITI QX56 AS THEY ALL SHARE THE SAME PLATFORM AND PARTS. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WITH NO WARNING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS A DIGITAL TYPE GRINDING NOISE WITH ALMOST NO USE OF BRAKES. DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAR DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED BY NISSAN TO REPROGRAM A VDC UNIT. WE WERE TOLD THAT IF THE PROBLEM RETURNS WE ARE TO NEED TO REPLACE A BRAKE BOOSTER $818. SO LAST WEEK PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING THIS TIME WITH MY 3YR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND I WAS LUCKY THAT IT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. $818 IS A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP FOR AN OBVIOUS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WITH NISSAN. MY UNDERSTANDING OF OTHERS IN THE SAME SITUATION IS THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS NOT THE PROBLEM BUT THAT THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE ABS BUT NISSAN HAS NO INTEREST IN THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLES OR THE PEOPLE DRIVING THEM. THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AS I AM TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NEEDING TO DRIVE UP AND DOWN A MOUNTAIN. I WAS FLOORED TO HEAR THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSAN ARMADA OWNERS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE FOR A RECALL OF THIS ISSUE. I DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE IN ORDER FOR NISSAN TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL SPILLED TO THE GROUND. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 113,595.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE BRAKE AND VDC WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THEN TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR WITH A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND UPON ENGAGEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FIVE TIMES. THE REPAIRS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE CONSISTED OF THE REPLACEMENTS OF THE ABS CONTROL UNIT, BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER PRESSURE SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

AS DOCUMENTED IN THE NHTSA COMPLAINTS FOR MULTIPLE MODELS AND YEARS. MY ARMADA (THAT I HAPPENED TO BUY FOR MY WIFE'S BIRTHDAY JUST 8 MONTHS AGO), LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHER 04-06 ARMADAS, TITANS, AND QX56 HAS THE RANDOM ABS INCIDENT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT I CAN'T BELIEVE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT IT. DEALERSHIPS KNOW ABOUT IT. PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THEIR COMPLETE ABS SYSTEMS REPLACED ARE HAVING THE PROBLEM JUST A FEW YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATES UNDER NORMAL, DRY ROAD CONDITIONS. THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE LOSES ALMOST ALL BRAKING POWER, YOU HEAR THE ABS GRINDING AND FEEL IT PULSATING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON, SOME TIMES THE "VDC OFF" AND "SLIP" LIGHTS COME ON. IT'S DOCUMENTED ON VEHICLE RELATED WEBSITES BY HUNDREDS OF USERS. WWW.TITANTALK.COM. WWW.CLUBARMADA.COM. THERE HAVE BEEN VEHICLE CRASHES RELATED TO THE ABS FAILURE, THERE'S PROBABLY BEEN DEATHS (BUT HOW WILL THOSE VICTIMS REPORT THE FAILURE?)...PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED HAVING TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN IT HAPPENS. PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC. PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. BUT NO SAFETY RECALL. WHAT DOES IT TAKE? I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. THEY RIDE IN THIS CAR. DOES THE NHTSA (AND NISSAN FOR THAT MATTER) NOT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 NISSAN ARMADA LE, I WENT TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR ACCOMPANIED BY A METALLIC GRINDING SOUND. I DOWNSHIFTED AND PUMPED THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP, BUT HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKING EFFICIENCY FOR THE NEXT THIRD OF A MILE TO MY HOUSE. THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS PERIODICALLY STAYED ON AFTER THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS RELEASED, BUT TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON HAS ALWAYS RESET THIS CONDITION. AFTER THE INCIDENT TODAY, THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED LIT EVEN AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, ROTORS, PISTONS, AND MASTER CYLINDER ALL APPEAR TO BE IN NORMAL CONDITION. I FEEL THAT OUR VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED FAILURE OF THE DELTA SENSOR OR BRAKE BOOSTER, AS ONLINE FORUM DESCRIPTIONS OF THESE SUDDEN FAILURES SEEM CONSISTENT WITH OUR EXPERIENCE. NISSAN NEEDS TO ACT QUICKLY TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE TO AVOID DRIVER INJURY OR DEATH. IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL AS OF YET TO ADDRESS THE FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SPOKE TO A DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT A BRAKE SENSOR MAY HAVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 99,500. *TR

WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 35MPH! TRIED TO STOP AT STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKES FAILED! CAR WOULD NOT STOP! HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE!!! *TR

ON ABOVE DATE I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE DOWN ON THE HWY SLOWING DOWN TO EXIT OFF. I TURNED ON MY AIR CONDITIONING UNIT AND IT STARTED TO MAKE A HISSING NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD. I COULDN'T FIGURE WHAT COULD HAVE GONE SINCE I RECENTLY HAD MY VEHICLE INSPECTED AT CONOCELLI NISSAN ON RIDGE PK. I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK IN AND I WAS TOLD ME AIR CONDITIONER LINES WERE RUSTED AND LEAKING. I ASKED HOW CAN THAT HAPPEN? NO ONE COULD GIVE ME AN ANSWER. NO ONE UNDERSTOOD HOW MY LINES RUSTED ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT THAT OLD. I WAS TOLD NISSAN IS SUPPOSED TO USE RUST FREE LINES FOR THE ARMADA'S. LAST YEAR I HAD TO PAY FOR MY MUFFLER TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SAME REASON. I AM BEING CHARGED A GREAT DEAL OF FUNDS FOR REPAIRS THAT CAN NOT BE EXPLAINED AS TO HOW THESE THINGS OCCUR, MY VEHICLE IS NOT THAT OLD. IF YOU HAVE ANY ANSWERS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I TOO LIKE OTHER ARMADA OWNERS HAS HAD NUMEROUS BREAKING PROBLEM WHICH ALMOST LEAD TO A COLLISION, THAT WOULD HAVE PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY BELIEVE IT WAS THE ABS SYSTEM BUT THEY RATHER TRY TO RESET THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FIRST. . *TR

CAR WOULDN'T STOP. WHEN I PRESSED BRAKES IT WOULD RATTLE AND MAKE A SOUND. I WAS GOING ABOUT 50MPH WHEN I TRIED SLOWING DOWN BRAKES FAILED ! DEALER DIDN'T HELP AT ALL! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK, LUNGE AND IT FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS HOME AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INFORMED HER THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

AS I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES, THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND AND THE CAR SORT OF SHOOK (SIMILAR TO ABS GOING OFF, BUT A LITTLE DIFFERENT, AND I WASN'T SLIPPING). IT WAS VERY HARD FOR ME TO STOP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT VERY SQUISHY. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT GO AWAY UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF. AS SOON AS I DID THAT, AND TURNED IT BACK ON THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN, WITH NO WARNING AND UNDER MANY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT GOES AWAY WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000. *TR

JUST RECENTLY I HAVE HAD 2 INCIDENTS WHERE RANDOMLY THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE VEHICLE MADE A HORRIFIC SOUND WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AND STOPPING POWER WAS PROBABLY REDUCED TO ABOUT 20%. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT TRAVELING FAST. IF I HAD BEEN ON A HIGHWAY TRYING TO MAKE A QUICK STOP IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT CROWN NISSAN IN BIRMINGHAM AL. THEY REPLACED THE DELTA SENSOR AND BRAKE BOOSTER FOR 900.00+ DOLLARS. IT MAKES ME WONDER IF THESE COMPONENTS SHOULD OF BEEN REPLACED WHEN THE BRAKES WHERE REPLACED BY NISSAN UNDER RECALL BECAUSE OF INADEQUATE SIZED ROTORS. THE DELTA SENSOR AND BRAKE BOOSTER COULD BE INADEQUATE FOR THE NEW BRAKES THAT WERE PUT ON MY VEHICLE. I OPENED CASE XXXX3057 WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA TO SEE IF THEY WOULD ASSIST WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR. THEY DENIED THE CLAIM AND WOULDN'T EVEN SEND ME A FOLLOW UP IN WRITING AFTER MULTIPLE REQUESTS. SEEMS THEY WANT TO HIDE THEIR DECISION.

TRANSMISSION HAS WATER DAMAGE DUE TO FAULTY RADIATOR. IT APPEARS COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID CHAMBERS HAVE BEEN BREACHED. AFTER WEB RESEARCH THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM NISSAN IS AWARE OF AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSING. *TR

I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOPLIGHT. APPLIED BRAKES BUT LITTLE PRESSURE AND HEARD A GRINDING SOUND ALSO THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SPONGY. THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS ON. *TR

2004 NISSAN ARMADA HAS A BRAKE PROBLEM. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TO TURN OFF TRUCK AND TURN IT BACK ON TO RESET BREAK LIGHT. IF I USE BRAKES WHEN LIGHT IS ON THE ABS DOES NOT WORK, IT MAKES A SPRINGY CRUNCHING NOISE WHEN BRAKE IS PRESSED.THE PEDAL WENT DOWN SO EASILY WHEN IT DID THIS. LISTEN. HELP. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE CALL: "BRAKE BOOSTER "OR "MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER "IS EXPENSIVE AND I CHECK ONLINE AND NOTICE THAT MANY PEOPLES ALREADY HAS THIS PROBLEM AND NOT ONLY 2004, ALSO2005, 2006,2007 ! NISSAN SHALL HAVE THIS IN RE-CALL SUCH THAT'S VERY DANGEROUS I TOCK THE SUGGESTION THAT WRITE TO THIS VERY IMPORTANT WEBSITE THANK YOU !! *TR

THE REAR DOOR ON MY 2004 NISSAN ARMADA HAS FAILED AND IS KEEPING ME LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN TRACED TO BE A FAULTY DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR, WHICH FAILS TO TRAVEL FAR ENOUGH IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE ACTUATOR PART INFORMATION IS AS FOLLOWS: 905507S000 0892068-A B/D ACTR 03 09 26. A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET WILL SHOW ANYONE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS RAMPANT ON ALL NISSAN ARMADA VEHICLES, ALL YEARS, AND THEREFORE MUST BE RECALLED AS A SAFETY DEFECT. WITH THIS CONDITION, IF THERE WAS EVER A VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND/OR FIRE, THE OCCUPANTS LOCATED INSIDE THE VEHICLE AT THE BACK SEATS WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF OTHERS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. UNDER THIS SITUATION, THE PASSENGER/OCCUPANTS ARE PERMANENTLY LOCKED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ANY ACCIDENT LEADING TO A VEHICLE FIRE, AND THE OCCUPANT WOULD BURN TO DEATH. TO SEE HOW COMMON THIS SITUATION IS, DO A GOOGLE SEARCH USING PART NUMBER "905507S000" IN THE SEARCH FIELD. *TR

CAR INVOLVED IS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. I WAS PULLING UP IN FRONT OF MY SON'S FRIEND'S HOUSE TO DROP HIM OFF. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND I WAS ALMOST STOPPED WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND HIT A CHEVY TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. IT LUNGED FORWARD WITH SUCH FORCE IT PUSHED THE TRUCK FORWARD ABOUT 4 FEET AND THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE ENDED UP ON THE CURB. THERE IS A LOT OF DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT WITHIN A 3 MONTH TIME PERIOD. ON 1/8/13 WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN A PARKING GARAGE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND SHE CRASHED INTO A WALL. I FIGURED IT WAS A FLUKE THING AND PAID MY $1000 DEDUCTIBLE AND THEY REPAIRED THE $8500 WORTH OF DAMAGE. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN SLOWING DOWN FOR SOMEONE AT A CROSSWALK I WOULD HAVE RAN THEM OVER. I HAVE A COMPLAINT INTO NISSAN SINCE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 3 MONTHS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. I DONT EVER WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN AND WILL NOT PUT MYSELF, MY FAMILY OR OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE IN DANGER AS SOMETHING IS HORRIBLE WRONG WITH THIS CAR. NISSAN GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND I WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK. IT HAS BEEN 48 HOURS AND SO FAR I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. *TR

PULLING OUT OF WALMART PARKING LOT AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN. SO I STEP ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AND THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD LITTLE PRESSURE TO BARELY STOP THE 6000LBS SUV, VERY SCARY! ALSO MADE A GRINDING OR CHATTERING NOISE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON DURING THAT TIME. TOOK THE SUV TO THE DEALER TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY STATED THAT IT COULD BE THE DELTA SENSOR INSIDE OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER THAT IS BAD AND STATED IT ALSO NEED TO BE REPROGRAM AFTER THAT PART REPLACEMENT??? SO THEY TOLD ME IT WILL COST $1004.56 OUT THE DOOR TO FIX THAT PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE DEFECTED PARTS , SINCE THERE IS A LOT OF OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

EITHER WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING OR IF THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. FROM TIME TO TIME THERE IS A VERY LOUD CLICKING NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A HEATER ACTUATOR, WHICH CONTROLS THE VENT DOOR. ITS A $2.00 PART THAT IS BURIED INSIDE OF THE DASH. TOTAL COST FOR LABOR $1600, THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD HAS TO COME OUT TO GET TO THE HEATER UNIT. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ARMADAS AND TITANS 2004-2008. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

BRAKES "JUDDER" ONCE EVERY 6 OR SO MONTHS. THE JUDDER MANIFESTS ITSELF AS A PARTIAL ENGAGEMENT OF BRAKES, AND A RAPID FEEDBACK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE LEARNED OVER TIME THAT I NEED TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY, PARK THE CAR, AND REPEATEDLY JAM DOWN THE PEDAL, (AS IF PUMPING UP THE BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE). TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE IT AND THE CAR WAS STILL TOO NEW FOR THEM TO HAVE HEARD OF IT BEFORE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES WERE SOFT UNTIL YOU REACHED THE BOTTOM. THEN THE BRAKES WOULD ENGAGE BUT WOULD BRING THE TRUCK TO A SUDDEN STOP. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY WITH 4 KIDS RANGING FROM 2-12 AND 3 ADULTS IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT. I MANAGED TO CONTROL THE TRUCK AND GET OFF THE FREEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT NOT IN THESE DRIVING CONDITIONS. MY FAMILY WAS VERY DISTRESSED. I PULLED INTO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT SINCE TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF WILL RESET THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A BAD DELTA STROKE SENSOR. THIS WILL COST APPROXIMATELY 928 DOLLARS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND AS I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INHERENT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I PRAY NO ONE HAS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IF THE ISSUE IS RECURRING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY WITH THE BRAKE PROBLEM THEN RECALL IT. I GUESS WE WILL HAVE TO MAJOR ACCIDENT FOR NISSAN TO DO SOMETHING. *TR

FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY LEAVING YOU STRANDED WHILE READING 1/4 TANK OF GAS, BRAKES FAIL FORCING YOU TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF TRUCK PULL OUT KEY THEN RESTART, SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT GETTING CAUGHT IN DOOR WHEN CLOSING. *TR

MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM ROTORS, PADS, CALIBERS, SENSORS, BRAKE BOOSTER. NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUES AND EXTENDS BRAKE WARRANTY BUT NOT FOR LONG ENOUGH AND DOES NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM SINCE IT CONTINUES TO RE-OCCUR. *TR

WHILE MY WIFE WAS TAKING OUR KID TO SCHOOL, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, AND AS SHE PRESSED ON THE BRAKES A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE TRUCK WAS HAVING A HARD TIME STOPPING. LUCKILY, SHE WAS FAR BEHIND FROM ANY CAR OR SHE WOULD HAVE HIT SOMEONE. AS SOON AS YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A WHILE. WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS FOR A WHILE NOW. WE TOOK IT TO NISSAN THE FIRST TIME AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. LAST YEAR, I DECIDED TO TAKE IT AGAIN TO NISSAN WHEN THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER BUT SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. FUNNY HOW AS SOON AS THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THEY HAD A FIX. I WENT AHEAD AND PAY THINKING THAT WOULD FIX IT. IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES AND WE NORMALLY JUST STOP, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND PROBLEM GOES AWAY. I FINALLY DECIDED TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT SINCE NISSAN DOES NOT APPEAR OR IS UNWILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY NISSAN ARMADA 2004, MY BRAKES LIGHT CAME ON, BRAKES LOCKED UP, BRAKES PEDAL DID NOT WORK AND THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. WAS VERY SCARY FOR MY CHILDREN, HUSBAND AND MYSELF. PULL MY VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE AS FAR AS I COULD. BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT WORK PROPERLY, WAS AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPING DEAD IN ITS TRACKS, BUT STILL MOVING. PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED OFF IGNITION AND RESTARTED IT. BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF, NO NOISE AND PEDAL SEEMED TO BE WORKING! *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH WHEN SIDE/CURTAIN AIRBAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA LE THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE 2004. IN 2007, I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES, BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON, BRAKES FEELING "CRUNCHY", GRINDING NOISES AND DECREASED BRAKING POWER. THAT ISSUE RESOLVED ON ITS OWN, BUT NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND MORE OFTEN. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, DECREASED BRAKING POWER, ETC. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND MULTIPLE FORUMS WHERE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF PEOPLE WHO OWN THE SAME VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE, I FEEL IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN ARMADA 2004 WHICH HAS LESS THAN 68000 MILES ON IT. RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK. FIRST, THERE WAS A BRAKE RECALL IN 2006 AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. ONCE AGAIN THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BREAKS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKES FAILED; LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY USING THE PARKING BRAKES. AFTER THIS EVENT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ADVISED THAT I NEEDED A NEW BREAK BOOSTER. MY ISSUE IS THAT ONCE I TOLD NISSAN ABOUT MY PROBLEMS THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND THEY ARE NO LONGER HELD ACCOUNTABLE. BUT AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER OF AN ARMADA THAT IS HAVING DIFFICULTIES. HTTP://X.NISSANHELP.COM/FORUMS/ARMADA/18281-ARMADA-BRAKE-PROBLEMS-DEALER-TELLING-TRUTH.HTML HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0FFEA4/0 I HAVE PROVIDED TWO LINKS THAT SHARE WHAT OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THE ARMADA. IF THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THESE DIFFICULTIES NISSAN SHOULD HAVE CALLED FOR A RECALL OR INFORMED ALL CUSTOMERS TO GET TRUCKS FIXED OF THEIR PROBLEMS BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRES. ISSUES WITH BRAKES COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH. *TR

I HAVE AN 04 ARMADA WE WERE DRIVING IT A WEEK AGO, WHEN WE CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKES FAILED. IT MADE A GRINDING NOISE, BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON BUT NO BRAKES VERY SCARY FOR US. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND NISSAN TOLD ME ITS THE BRAKE BOOSTER THAT'S FAILING BUT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THEREFORE NOT COVERED. RESEARCHING THIS THERE IS HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF THE SAME BRAKE ISSUE WITH THESE ARMADAS. *TR

OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND BRAKES FAIL. THIS IS A LARGE SUV, IT IS AND WILL BE FATAL TO NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THE CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES ALOT TO HELP THE PROBLEM, STILL WITH NO RESULTS. NOW I AM BEING TOLD IT IS A BRAKE BOOSTER SENSOR THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND THEIR ARE 1,000'S + OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK OUT FOR THE SAFETY OF US CONSUMERS AND FORCE NISSAN TO RECALL THE 2004-2006 MODELS OF PATHFINDER ARMADAS. HELP BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY!!!! IF YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN RESTART THE ENGINE, IT MAGICALLY GOES AWAY- FOR A LITTLE WHILE. BUT, THE PROBLEM ALWAYS RETURNS. *TR

BRAKES STOPPED WORKING! BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I TRIED TO COME TO A STOP I HAD MAYBE 20% BRAKE USAGE. IF I HAD NOT NOTICED THE LIGHT COMING ON AND HAD TO STOP IN AN EMERGENCY WOULD HAVE CRASHED FOR SURE! I HAVE 3 KIDS, A GREAT GRANDMOTHER AND 2 OTHER KIDS THAT I WATCH 5 DAYS A WEEK. THESE WILL BE A TRAGEDY IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER A NUMBER OF TIMES TO BE TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM. ONLY FOR IT TO KEEP HAPPENING. PLEASE HELP US A FORCE NISSAN TO RECALL THESE MODELS AND REPAIR SO THAT WE CAN BE SAFE ON OUR ROADS. *TR

MY ARMADA SHOWED THAT THERE WAS FUEL IN THE TANK. THE GAUGE ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE TRIP COMPUTER BOTH SHOWED THERE WAS A TANK OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAD RAN OUT OF GAS. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS BAD IN THE ARMADA AND IF I WERE LUCKY MY VEHICLE MAY BE PART OF THE RECALL. MY ARMADA IS A 2004, RECALLS WERE DONE FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON 2005 MODELS AND ABOVE. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO RECALL THE 2004 MODEL. SAFETY ISSUE FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE 2004 MODEL ARMADA BE ADDED TO SAFETY RECALL NTB10037. THIS FAULT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE THE GAUGE STILL SHOWS UP TO A QUARTER TANK REMAINING. LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL OF VEHICLE WHICH MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS. *TR
