THIS COMPLAINT PERTAINS TO A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY 2004 NISSAN ARMADA SUV VEHICLE. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS COMMON AMONGST OWNERS OF NISSAN ARMADA VEHICLES, AND WARRANTS NISSAN TAKING ACTION TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS SAFETY RELATED, AND WARRANTS AN INVESTIGATION BY NISSAN, AND RECALL TO ENSURE SAFETY OF VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THE VEHICLE IS A FULL SIZED SUV, WITH SEATING FOR 7-8 OCCUPANTS. THE PROBLEM I AM REFERRING TO TODAY RELATES TO THE REAR HATCH DOOR. THE REAR HATCH DOOR HANDLES (THERE ARE TWO) ARE SUPPOSED TO OPEN EITHER (1) THE REAR HATCH WINDOW, OR (2) THE REAR HATCH DOOR. FOR NEARLY THREE YEARS NOW I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LATCH NOT ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR (THE DOOR REMAINS LOCKED AND/OR THE HANDLE MECHANISM IS UNRESPONSIVE). THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO OPEN. AFTER OPENING UP THE DOOR PANELING TO VIEW THE CONTENTS, THERE IS NOTHING BROKEN OR VISIBLY WRONG, JUST A FAULTY ENGINEERING DESIGN AND/OR COMPONENTS THAT SOMEHOW DO NOT "MESH" TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. A "GOOGLE" INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON WITH MANY ARMADA VEHICLES, AND OWNERS AND SERVICE SHOPS HAVE HAD DIFFICULTIES RECTIFYING THIS PROBLEM. MOST PEOPLE JUST ORDER NEW PARTS BLINDLY HOPING IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, AND IN MANY CASES IT HAS NOT. THE SITUATION WARRANTS NISSAN ENGINEERING TEAM TO REVIEW THE PROBLEM, TO DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT IS AT FAULT, AND TO PROVI

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A BOAT TRAILER WAS ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON AN INCLINE WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO THE "PARK" POSITION AND SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE ROLLED IN REVERSE APPROXIMATELY SIX INCHES TO A FOOT. THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. IN ADDITION, DURING THE INITIAL START WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION WOULD RESPOND AS THOUGH IT WAS IN NEUTRAL GEAR. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE IN COLD WEATHER TEMPERATURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

ON 10/16/10 MY FATHER WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION WITH A TREE (CENTER OF BUMPER) WHILE DRIVING HIS 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. A HIGH DEGREE OF DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED ON THE VEHICLE. HE SUFFERED FROM FACIAL LACERATIONS AND BRUISING. THE AIRBAGS IN THE ARMADA DID NOT DEPLOY FOR SOME REASON. WE HAVE BEGUN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING NISSAN TO REPORT THIS. MY GUESS IS THAT HE HIT THE TREE DOING AT LEAST 20 MPH BASED ON THE DAMAGE (ALTHOUGH MY GUESS MAY NOT BE CORRECT). *TR

2004 NISSAN ARMADA SE 4WD VEHICLE JUST STALLS WHILE DRIVING NO WARNING LIGHT SO INDICATION SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH CAR, STALL IN A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION WHILE DRIVING , LOSS OF STEERING BRAKES ETC. DASH LIGHTS BLINK AND LIGHT UP. CAR RESTARTS IF YOU CRANK IT A FEW TIMES , BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL MORE OCCASIONS , TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP AND NO LIGHT INDICATORS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM , THIS IS VERY UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY AND I TO BE IN THIS ARMADA. *TR

I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE FUEL IN MY 2004 NISSAN ARMADA AND WAS DRENCHED WITH GASOLINE THAT BACKED UP OUT THE OPENING WHERE THE GAS HOSE WAS INSERTED. THIS WAS UNEXPECTED AND I SMELLED OF GASOLINE ALL DAY.IT WAS ON MY SKIN AND CLOTHING.THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT LONG TERM EFFECTS ON MY HEALTH. MY GAS TANK WAS NOT FULL AS IT WAS 1/4 FULL WHEN I TRIED TO OBTAIN GAS. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET 20.00 DOLLARS WORTH OF GAS AND THE GAS BACKED UP AND SPILLED ON ME. I HEARD A CLICK AS IF THE TANK WAS FULL ,HOWEVER IT WAS NOT FULL. I ALSO HEAR A HISSING SOUND WHEN I OPEN THE GAS CAP. *TR

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEM. THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. MY 2004 ARMADA WAS AT 66K MILES. THE NISSAN DEAL THAT I TOOK THE VEHICLE TOO TOLD ME THAT NISSAN HAS PROBLEMS WITH THEIR MANIFOLDS. THEY CORRECTED THE ISSUE, BUT ALMOST EXACTLY 66K MILES LATER THE MANIFOLDS HAVE AGAIN CRACKED. NOW I AM OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AND REQUIRED TO PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT THAT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE NISSAN PRODUCT. MANIFOLDS SHOULD NOT BE GOING BAD AFTER 66K MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. DURING THE FAILURE A GRINDING NOISE COULD BE HEARD AND THE VEHICLE TOOK A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME TO STOP THAN USUAL. HE STATED THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING FAILURE SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO AUTHORIZED DEALERS AS WELL AS INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE CONTINUES TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 11/05/10. *LJ

EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY GAS ON 2004 ARMADA THE FUEL GAUGE ONLY SHOWS 3/4 FULL NOT FULL. *TR

2004 NISSAN ARMADA WITH INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER. *KB THE FIST TIME THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE, NISSAN AGREED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER AS A GOOD FAITH GESTURE. HOWEVER, ON FRIDAY JULY 9, 2010, SHE AGAIN EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. WHEN SHE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT AGAIN, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE BRAKES SEEMED NORMAL. ON FRIDAY JULY 16, 2010 WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE AND ONCE AGAIN SHE EXPERIENCED COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED. FORTUNATELY, SHE WAS ON A STRAIGHT GRAVEL PATH AND WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER. THEY THEN CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE IN THE MASER CYLINDER, BUT WOULD NOT PROVIDE HER WITH A COPY OF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES TO SUBSTANTIATE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS INDEED DIFFERENT. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT DETECTED THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE READING OF THREE QUARTERS OF THE TANK BEING FULL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF FUEL DISPENSED IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THERE WAS NOT A RECALL RELATED DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

LUCKILY, I WAS ONLY DRIVING 25 MPH ON MY WAY HOME FROM TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL BACK IN MARCH. I APPROACHED THE STOP SIGN BY MY HOUSE AND APPLIED THE BRAKE, BUT TO MY SURPRISE THE TRUCK WASN'T STOPPING. I HELD THE BRAKE DOWN AND NOTHING. I WENT RIGHT THRU THE STOP SIGN AND KEPT BRAKING. FINALLY MY SPEED HAD DECELERATED ENOUGH TO COME TO A STOP. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN AND COULD NOT GET IT TO REPEAT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE TRUCK SEEMED TO BE STOPPING FINE NOW. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE I HIT A PATCH OF OIL. I TOLD MY HUSBAND AND HE SAID THE SAME THING. THEN ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM. WE HAVE HAD OUR TRUCK FOR 3 YEARS NOW AND THIS HAD OCCURRED PROB. 4-6 TIMES. WE HAVE HAD THE BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED. THIS STILL DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY NISSAN CAN FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND FIX IT BEFORE SOMETHING AWFUL HAPPENS TO SOMEONE. *TR

2004 ARMADA DIFFICULT TO CONTROL OVER BUMPS. RIGHT REAR TIRE CONTINUOUSLY BOUNCES CAUSING VEHICLE TO WANDER WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. STEERING WHEEL CONTINUOUSLY VIBRATES ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND TEST DRIVEN BY MANY MECHANICS INCLUDING NISSAN DEALERSHIPS TO NO AVAIL CAN THEY LOCATE THE PROBLEM. ALL 4 TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. AIR BAGS PERFORMED ACTIVE TESTS TO REAR AIR SHOCKS AND WERE WORKING FINE. BAGS WERE CHECKED FOR LEAKS AND NONE WERE FOUND. ALIGNMENT IS FINE. ALSO, VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE RUST UNDERNEATH (WE HAVE NEVER TOWED ANY BOATS OR ANYTHING REMOTELY CLOSE TO THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF THE VEHICLE.) *TR

TODAY, MY FAMILY & I ALMOST BOUGHT THE FARM WHEN THE BRAKES WENT OUT ON A FREEWAY OFF RAMP ON OUR WAY BACK FROM PHOENIX. WE EXITED THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP AT THE LIGHT. THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD SCRAPING NOISE, WERE NON-FUNCTIONAL AND WE WERE APPROACHING CROSS TRAFFIC AT 60 - 70 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY DROPPED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, STARTED TO APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE AND HEADED FOR THE DIRT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FIGURING I WOULD RATHER HIT A TREE OR FENCE THAN T-BONE A VEHICLE IN THE CROSS TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY RUBBING THE PASSENGER TIRES ON THE CURB TO CREATE FRICTION TO STOP. THE VEHICLE MILEAGE TODAY IS 61,707. THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AS WE HAD TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF & APPARENTLY WHEN RESTARTED, IT REBOOTED A SENSOR THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. (INFO FROM NISSAN DEALER). THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE WILL END UP DEAD DUE TO THIS PROBLEM IF NISSAN DOES NOT FIX IT. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED A TOTAL OF FIVE TIMES WITHIN A YEARS TIME. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM WAS A MALFUNCTIONING SENSOR IN THE MASTER CYLINDER OR THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAILED AND THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING. UPDATED IVOQ 07/15/10.*JB *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND HAS BECOME WORSE.

BRAKES ON SUV HAVE FAILED TO WORK AS DESIGNED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS DUE TO NON-MECHANICAL ISSUES. PROBLEMS MAY STEM FROM ELECTRICAL OR SENSOR ISSUES. THE BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR DISPLAYS ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE SUV AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS UP THE BRAKES. THE PROBLEMS HAS BEEN DUPLICATED WITH A REPAIR TECHNICIAN BUT THEY CANNOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY, GOING APPROX. 45 MPH THE BRAKES ON MY 2004 NISSAN ARMADA COMPLETELY WENT OUT. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL I HEARD AN AWFUL GRINDING NOISE AND THE FELT A VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE CAR AND THE PEDAL JUST WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE 'BRAKE' LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASH AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL MOVED 4-5 INCHES UPWARDS FROM ITS NORMAL POSITION. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME MY BRAKES HAVE COMPLETELY GONE OUT. I WASN'T STOPPING AND NARROWLY MISSED PLOWING INTO THE BACK OF A DELIVERY TRUCK. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AT A SAFE PLACE AND CALL A TOW TRUCK- IT WAS TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, MY BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE AND THEY WOULD REPLACE IT TO THE TUNE OF $1300. IT IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING REPAIRED. I REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN HQ ON 5/6/2010 AS WELL. I HAD 2 KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME AT THE TIME AND THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY TERRIFYING EVENT! *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER INFORMED HER THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE HAVE BEEN NO OTHER FAILURES SINCE THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED. THE CONSUMER DID NOTICE THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN BRAKING ABILITY WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKE. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. UPDATED 10/08/10

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY; WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL, THE GAUGE WOULD INDICATE THAT IT WAS EMPTY OR HALF FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL SENDER WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF RECALL 10V074000 FOR THE 2005-2008 MODELS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT SHE WOULD RUN OUT OF GAS DUE TO THE INCORRECT READINGS FROM THE FUEL GAUGE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH IN THE NIGHT TIME, SUDDENLY DASH BOARD LIGHTS FLASHES VERY RAPIDLY AND STALLS THE ENGINE. LUCKILY, NO OTHER CAR WAS NEXT TO US. WE SAFELY STOPPED THE OUR 2004 NISSAN ARMADA SUV ON THE SIDE OF ROAD. AFTER ABOUT 10~15 MINUTES, WE TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR, BUT NO LUCK. AFTER GIVING GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES, WE COULD RE-START THE CAR. WE DROVE HOME (ABOUT 5 MILES IN DISTANCE) SAFELY. NEXT DAY, WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO HER PARENTS' HOUSE, ONCE AGAIN, WITH RAPID FLASHING ON THE DASH BOARD, THE ENGINE DIES WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. WE TOOK TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP NEXT MORNING, THEY SAID IT WOULD BEEN NO GAS IN THE GAS TANK. WE HAD MORE THAN 1/4 TANKFUL OF GAS. WHILE THE SERVICE MAN WAS DRIVING INTO THE SERVICE BAY, THE CAR STALLS IN SAME MANNER. THEN, THEY SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRICAL PART PROBLEM IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE. BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE, WE HAVE LET NISSAN DEALER REPLACED THE ELECTRICAL PART. LETS' SEE WHETHER IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. *TR

2004 NISSAN ARMADA BACK LIFT GATE WILL NOT OPEN UNLESS I CRAWL IN THROUGH THE BACK AND LIFT THE LEVER INSIDE THE LIFT GATE FIRST, THEN I CAN OPEN THE LIFT GATE FROM THE OUTSIDE.

OUR 2004 NISSAN ARMADA LE HAS ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE NOT READING CORRECTLY. EVEN AFTER FILLING UP, IT NEVER READS FULL, OR EVEN WHEN LESS THAN 1/4 TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE WILL READ AT HALF OR MORE. THEN IT WILL DRASTICALLY DROP FROM THE 1/2 TANK MARKER DOWN TO EMPTY. NISSAN HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT BUT HAVE OMITTED THE 2004-2005 NISSAN ARMADAS EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM WITH THIS FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS BEEN NOTORIOUS FOR THESE MODELS. NISSAN AND ITS AFFILIATE SERVICE DEPTS ARE REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM KNOWINGLY IT EXISTS.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMED WITH 1/4 TO A FULL TANK OF FUEL; THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD INDICATE LOW FUEL ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN "BROKEN IN" DUE TO LOW MILEAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHICH THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 27,500.

WE HAVE A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA THAT HAS HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. WHAT HAPPENS IS THE BRAKES BEGIN TO JUMP/JITTER AND THEN THERE IS 100% BRAKE FAILURE---THERE ARE NO BRAKES PERIOD! WE'VE TALKED TO NISSAN AND TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO, WE CAN'T SELL THE SUV BECAUSE WE WOULD BE PASSING A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM TO SOMEONE ELSE AND WE CANNOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE THE BRAKES WILL FAIL. TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME THEY FAIL OBE HAS TO TURN OFF THE CAR, REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE START SWITCH, AND THEN TURN THE ENGINE AGAIN. THIS SEEMS LIKE THE TYPE OF PROBLEM THAT THE COMPUTER CONTROLS SINCE THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY DISAPPEARS AFTER RESETTING THE COMPUTER. CAN YOU HELP? *TR

SOMETIMES BRAKES MAKE GRINDING NOISE, SHUTTER THROUGH STEERING WHEEL, AND MASSIVE FRONT END VIBRATION. DURING THIS TIME THE BRAKES DON'T WORK VERY WELL. RESTARTING CAR WILL ALLEVIATE PROBLEM. HAD A COMPUTER MODULE CHANGED BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. THERE ARE MANY MANY COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM! IT IS VERY UNSAFE! *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2005 FROM THE DEALER. FOR APRX. 3 YEARS NOW EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GET VERY HARD, IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. WE FOUND IT THAT WE CAN RESET IT BACK TO NORMAL BY STOPPING, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, WAITING A MINUTE AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET CHECKED, THEY TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE OR BRAKES. SINCE THEY COULDN'T GET THE PROBLEM TO OCCUR IN FRONT OF THEM, THEY SAID THAT THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS ABOUT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE, THEY TOLD BE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT TURNING IT OFF WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS, I EXPLAINED THAT I WILL NOT PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER, DRIVING WITH A HARD TO BRAKE VEHICLE, THEY SAID THEN JUST TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESET IT AND THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS MAYBE ABOUT EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR APX THE PAST 3 YEARS. FORTUNATELY WE HAVEN'T GOT INTO AND ACCIDENT BUT THIS A CONCERN TO ME. UP TO NOW I DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO REPORT IT TO, BUT AFTER WATCHING RESENT REPORTS ABOUT ANOTHER VEH COMPANY ON TV, I DECIDED TO NOTIFY YOU. *TR

2004 NISSAN ARMADA BRAKE FAILURE PROBLEM. ABOUT EVERY 4-6 MONTHS THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY LIMITED STOPPING POWER. THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND WHILE APPLYING BRAKES. TO ME SEEMS TO BE A MATTER OF TIME WHEN I SMASH INTO SOMETHING. *TR

SINKING BRAKE PEDAL WITH DIMINISHED STOPPING POWER. PEDAL SINKS TO FLOOR. VEHICLE MUST BE TURNED OFF MULTIPLE TIMES TO REGAIN POWER . THIS HAS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY. DEALER HAS NOT OFFERED A SOLUTION. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACK CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND CO INTRUSION INTO CABIN. HAD TO REPLACE AT OWN EXPENSE. KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HAS INCONSISTENTLY ADDRESSES UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

REAR OBSTACLE SENSORS DO NOT WORK. FRONT SUSPENSION CREAKS IN COLD WEATHER - EXCESSIVE WEAR TO BUSHINGS. *TR

WE OWN A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA WHICH WE PURCHASED LESS THAN 1 YEAR AGO. SINCE THEN, THERE HAS BEEN 3 OR MORE INSTANCES IN WHICH I'VE LOST COMPLETE BRAKING ON THE CAR. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED THIS JANUARY 13TH. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL SPECIALIZED BRAKE SHOP AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TOLD THAT THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE ABS SYSTEM AND SUBSEQUENTLY TRIGGERING THE BRAKE AND ABS SENSORS ON THE DASH TO LIGHT UP. WE VERIFIED THIS WITH NISSAN AND THEY TOO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH REGARDS TO THE ABS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE BREAKING AT LOW SPEEDS. AFTER CALLING NISSAN THEY HAVE REFUSED TO RECALL THIS KNOWN DEFECT AND HAVE OFFERED TO TRY AND FIND THE CAUSE BY STARTING OUT WITH REPLACING BREAK SENSORS, ABS COMPUTER, MASTER CYLINDER WITH ALL COSTS INCURRED ON US AND NO GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED. THE CAR HAS THE ABS SYSTEM DISABLED AT THE MOMENT SO I CAN GET TO AND FROM PICKING MY CHILDREN UP FROM SCHOOL. HOWEVER, I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNDER WET CONDITIONS AS IT COULD BE DANGEROUS TO DO SO. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF OUR POCKET TO RESOLVE A KNOWN DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

ABOUT ONCE A MONTH MY BRAKES GO OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG AND THROUGH RESEARCH ONLINE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY GO OUT WHEN I REALLY NEED THEM. THE DEALER RE-DID MY COMPUTER BUT THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER THIS SUPPOSED FIX. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON WEDNESDAY THE 19, 2009. MY TRUCK STALLED ON A MAJOR ROAD. I WAS ALMOST REARENDED WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. COULD NOT PULL CAR OFF TO SIDE. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. FOUND OUT THAT MY IPDM HAD GONE OUT AND FLOODED MY ENGINE WITH GAS. TALKED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEY ARE BACK-ORDERED 250 UNITS OF THESE IPDM'S. SAID THEY HAVE 10-15 TRUCKS IN EACH WEEK. LOOKED AT INTERNET IT IS FLOODED WITH CASES JUST LIKE MINE. VERY SCARY MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR. IT WAS A EASY FIX ONCE WE GOT NEW PART. SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE NOT SAFE. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN ARMADA BRAKES FAILED AT 24,500 MILES. THEY WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER UNDER A TB DUE TO SHAKING AND PREMATURE WEAR AT 16,000 MILES. THE BRAKE LIGHTS SUDDENLY CAME ON AND BRAKES STARTED TO SHAKE MAKING ME LOSE CONTROL. CHECKED BRAKE AND THEY WERE DOWN TO METAL AT LESS THEN 10,000 MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA.THE CONTACT STATED THAT INTERMITTENTLY WHEN DRIVING THE SERVICE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL, THEN THE VEHICLE SHIMMIES. SIMULTANEOUSLY HE HAS TO USE HEAVY BRAKE APPLICATION TO DECELERATE. USUALLY HE HAS TO RESTART THE ENGINE TO RESET THE BRAKE SENSOR. BRAKE FAILURE INCREASES THE RISK OF VEHICLE CRASH. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER AND HAD THE ABS SENSOR REPLACED. THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE ER/PARK BRAKE CABLE WRAPPED AROUND AXEL BRING THE ARMADA TO A INSTANT STOP FROM 55 MILES PER HOUR. THE FORCE BROKE THE AXEL AND DISLODGED THE DIFFERENTIAL. POLICE WHO RESPONDED STATED IT WAS A MIRACLE I WAS ABLE TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING HEAD OR END OR TO THE SIDE WHEN THE AXEL SNAPPED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BRACKET HOLDING THE CABLE ABOVE AND OVER THE AXEL FAILED. THERE IS EVIDENCE ON THE OTHER SIDE THAT THE BRACKETS ARE RUSTING AND THE WELD IS SPLITTING. I AM A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER, I DO NOT FEEL THAT NO ROLLING OF THE VEHICLE OR LACK OF INJURY OR DEATH WAS A MIRACLE. I FEAR FOR THE STANDARD MOM DRIVING HER CHILDREN WHEN THIS OCCURS. *TR

SIDE AND BACK CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. NO EARLY WARNING ON DASH BOARD, DRIVING LESS THAN 30 MILES AN HOUR ON A CITY STREET AND IT JUST DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

2004 NISSAN ARMADA INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING, OR ANY INDICATION ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE BRAKES WERE MALFUNCTIONING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,200. *JB

THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE JUST PRIOR TO JULY 1ST, AGAIN ON JULY 4TH, AND THE LAST INCIDENT WAS JULY 12TH, 2009. AFTER THE FIRST 3 INCIDENTS ONCE I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WENT OFF. HOWEVER, ON JULY 12TH, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS FOR THE BREAKS AND ABS SYSTEM ALL LIT UP. THERE WAS VIBRATION AND THEN THE BACK BRAKES MADE THIS HORRIBLE SOUND LIKE METAL HITTING METAL. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THE PROBLEM DIDN'T CORRECT AND THE BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGING PROPERLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY WERE NO LONGER A NISSAN DEALER. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC I USE FOR MY OTHER VEHICLE AND HE PUT MY NISSAN ARMADA 2004 PATHFINDER ON THE LIFT AND CHECKED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES WERE IN GOOD CONDITION BUT HE SAID THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD HAVE TO BE CHECKED BY A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I ONLY HAVE 28,815 MILE ON MY VEHICLE AND THE DOWNEY NISSAN DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD UPDATE THE ABS COMPUTER SYSTEM BUT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW BRAKE BOOSTER BECAUSE THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I GOOGLED THE NISSAN BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEMS AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MANY NISSAN ARMADA AND COULD NOT FIND A RECALL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF CRASHING IF THE BRAKE FAILS TO ENGAGE OR WORSE. THE DEALER ASKED NISSAN TO HONOR "IN GOOD FAITH" THE WARRANTY BECAUSE MY C

2004 NISSAN ARMADA - BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS AN ON-GOING PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN IN THE PAST TO OPEN A CLAIM. THE PERSON ON THE PHONE RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER (WHICH WE HAD DONE AT LEAST 3 TIMES PRIOR). WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT THERE WAS 'NO TROUBLE/PROBLEM FOUND' (ONLY ONE TIME PRIOR DID THEY UPDATE THE CODE TO THE COMPUTER - ALL OTHER TIMES - NO TROUBLE FOUND). I MENTION THAT WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 OR 4 TIMES, BUT ACCORDING TO MY WIFE WHO DRIVES THIS CAR EVERY DAY, THIS HAPPENS TO HER AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH - THAT IS OVER 20 TIMES SINCE WE HAVE OWNED IT! I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALER, RENTING A CAR FOR THE DAY - JUST TO HAVE 'NO TROUBLE FOUND'. QUITE FRANKLY, MY WIFE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER INCIDENTS OF THIS PROBLEM REGISTERED. I JUST WOULD LIKE IT FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL SO MY WIFE AND CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP PUTTING THEIR LIVES AT RISK, WONDERING IF THE BRAKES ARE GOING TO WORK OR NOT. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO TWO NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY A FAILED SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BUT COULD NOT BE SURE UNTIL IT WAS REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $1400.00 NOT REFUNDABLE IF THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. IT COULD ALSO BE THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH THAT SEAT. REPORTEDLY FROM BOTH THE DEALERS COMMENTS AND MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE TYPE. *TR

ONCE EVERY 2 TO 3 WEEKS, I HIT THE BRAKES IN MY 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA AND IT MAKES A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE AND NOTHING HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE DOESN'T STOP. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND THAT REPAIRS NISSANS FOR THE EMPLOYEES AT THE NISSAN CANTON PLANT THAT THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THAT MODEL VEHICLE AND IT WAS A SENSOR THAT WAS BAD. HE SAID THEY HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS SENSORS ON EMPLOYEES VEHICLES. I'M WONDERING WHY THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL. APPARENTLY, THEY HAVE IMPROVED THINGS SINCE THE INITIAL ARMADA WAS CREATED, BUT THAT DOESN'T GET MY VEHICLE FIXED. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT ONE DAY. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT APPARENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS CUT OFF, THE SENSOR RESETS AND THE VEHICLE WON'T MESS UP FOR MY REPAIR PERSON. I CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. ALSO, MY MAIN WINDOW SWITCH WILL NOT ROLL UP MY WINDOWS. MY REAR HATCH WILL NOT UNLOCK. MY MAIN SWITCH WILL NOT UNLOCK ALL OF MY DOORS. *TR

MY PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 12/5/08 WHEN MY TRUCK DIED UNEXPECTEDLY. IT RESTARTED THEN LATER MORE OF THE SAME ON THE SAME VOYAGE. LOCAL NISSAN WAS CONTACTED THAT DAY AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SET FOR 12/15/08. AT THAT APPOINTMENT IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE VEHICLE SECURITY FUNCTION AND WAS RESET AND KEY WAS REPROGRAMMED. THEY HAD NOTED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAD FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MILEAGE WAS 81,470, 1470 MILES OVER THE FEDERAL WARRANTY. MY MILEAGE WAS ARGUABLY UNDER THE 80,000 WARRANTY LIMIT WHEN THE APPOINTMENT WAS MADE A WEEK PRIOR. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE SAME SYMPTOMS OCCURRED. THIS TIME IT IS ADDED WITH POWER LOSS OF MASS PROPORTION ON AND OFF AGAIN. AGAIN BACK TO NISSAN WERE THEY ARE POINTING AT THE MANIFOLDS. OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS HAVE HAD THE IPDM, BCM, ECM, MANIFOLDS, AND THE KEY REPROGRAMMED AND THE DEALERSHIPS STILL CANT FIND THERE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACKNOWLEDGES MY CONCERN THAT THIS ISN?T THE PART CAUSING THE INTERMITTENT ISSUES. NISSAN REALIZED THE PROBLEM WITH ITS MANIFOLDS AND CORRECTED BY MAKING THEM ?BEEFER? AND ADDING A SUPPORT BRACE IN LATER PRODUCTION RUNS. I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM THROUGH NISSANS CONSUMER SERVICES, BUT WAS DENIED ASSISTANCE (CASE #6392768). THE INTERNET IS FLOODED WITH NISSAN TRUCK CUSTOMERS WHOSE MANIFOLDS HAVE FAILED IN THE SAME EXACT PLACES ON THE PART DURING THE PRODUCTION RUN DATE. NISSAN HAS EVEN WARRANTED THIS PART TO OTHER CUSTOMERS AFTER THE EXPIRATION O

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE PROPERLY, SOMETIMES WOULDN'T CLOSE AT ALL, SOMETIMES WOULD CLOSE BUT WOULDN'T STAY SHUT. CALLED NISSAN REGIONAL CENTER ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WOULDN'T DO COVER IT BECAUSE IT WAS PAST WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN JUNE OF 05. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BROKEN LATCH AND REMOTE LOCK FOR WHICH I PAID TO HAVE REPAIRED. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE TEMPERATURE FELL BELOW FREEZING. *TR
