2004 Nissan Armada complaints

FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPING

FRONT BRAKE BEGAN PULSATING AT 5000 MILE. I BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER WHO TURNED ROTORS AND REPLACED BRAKE SHOES WITH THICKER SHOE. BRAKES ARE AGAIN PULSATING AT 11,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE BRAKE COMPONENTS ARE NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

VIOLENT VIBRATION DUE TO BRAKING AT ONLY 6,000 MILES FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE, ENGINE GETS HOT,SUNROOF LEAKS, ROOF RATTLES EXCESSIVELY, DOOR RATTLES EXCESSIVELY. *JB

BRAKE ROTOR WARPING ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP BY MANY OWNERS. ROTORS WERE TURNED AND IT NEEDS IT AGAIN 2500 MILES LATER. I REQUESTED THAT THE ROTORS BE REPLACED BUT REQUEST WAS DENIED. IT SEEMS THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE FRONT OF THE ARMADA IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THE VEHICLE WEIGHT. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN FOR THE SAME SERVICE THIS TIME DEMANDING THAT THE ROTORS BE REPLACED. NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO CHANGE THE SIZE OF THE BRAKE ROTORS, PADS, ENTIRE SYSTEM IF NECESSARY. *JB

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN FROM HIGH SPEED VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY. *AK

FRONT BRAKES OVERHEATING CAUSING PREMATURE ROTOR WARPAGE AND STEERING "JUDDER". *JB

VEHICLE WAS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER TWICE FOR CHECKUP, AND RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK

4TH TIME SINCE APRIL 2004 THE BRAKES DETERIORATE TO THE POINT OF IMINENT FAILURE. THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AND SHAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL INCREASES, AND BRAKES BECOME UNRESPONSIVE. ROTORS HAVE BEEN CUT, PADS REPLACED, ROTORS REPLACED, CALIPER "KITS" INSTALLED, PINS REPLACED, GREASE APPLIED, ETC. THE PROBLEM KEEPS RETURNING. MANY OTHER ANNOYANCE TYPE PROBLEMS AS WELL...RATTLES, NAVIGATION SYSTEM FAILURE, RADIO REPLACED, OVERHEAD CONSOLE CRACKED, REPLACED WINDOW MOTORS AND SWITCHES, POOR WHEEL ALIGNMENT FROM FACTORY.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES AND WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT A PROBLEM WAS PRESENT, BUT A SOLUTION WAS UNDETERMINED AT THIS TIME. *AK

REAR COLLISION DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. THE BRAKES ARE TOO WEAK AND VIBRATE. THE DEALER REPLACE THE BRAKES PADS, THEN A WEEK LATER THE FRONT BREAK DISKS WERE REPLACE BECAUSE STILL VIBRATES. IT SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR APPROXIMATELY. 2,000 MILES THEN THE VIBRATION STARTS AGAIN. *NM

THE CONSUMER IS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THE HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO SAYS PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR ARE UNAVAILABLE. ALSO, WHEN THE PARTS NEEDED ARE USED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, OWNERS ARE BRINGING BACK THEIR VEHICLES BACK AFTER 3,000 MILES. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

- I EXPERIENCED BRAKE JUDDER AT 200 MILES - DASH RATTLE FIRST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP - 3RD ROW CENTER SEAT BELT FAILED AT APPROX 3 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP - LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND WARNING COME ON AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 15 DEG F - AT 13 DEG F, APPROX 4,500 MILES, CAR SURGED, STALLED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND TRAVEL OVER 45 MPH. *JB

THE BRAKES ARE DEFECTIVE, THEY DO NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED. DEALER STATED THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART.*AK AFTER THE VEHICLE REACHED THE 3000 MILE MARK THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SQUEAK AND WHISTLE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE BRAKES CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS AFTER SERVICE. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE CALIPERS ARE BINDING AGAINST THE ROTORS CAUSING THE ROTORS TO HAVE HOTSPOTS. *TC

CONSISTENT FAILURES ON BRAKE SYSTEM. ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 3000 MILES. SHORTAGE OR PARTS FORCES OWNDER TO DRIVE VEHICLE AROUND WITH SEVERE SHUDDER IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL, POTENTIALLY CAUSING DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL IN HEAVY BRAKING CONDITIONS.*AK

MAJOR PROBLEM WITH BRAKES ON MY 2004 NISSAN ARMADA:3 TIMES ALREDY I HAVE HAD WARPED ROTORS AND NOW AFTER LESS THEN 2000 MILES I HAVE TO DO IT AGAN.WHEN IT HAPPEND 2ND TIME IN SUMMER THE WATING FOR REPLASEMENT DISKS, PADS AND CALIPER WAS MORE THEN 4 WEEKS.ONE DAY I GOT MY FRONT BRAKES LOCK-UP THEY WELDED TO DISKS AND I CAN NOT DRIVE.I CAN'T KEEP GOING IN EVERY 3K MILES TO HAVE A BRAKE JOB.ESPECIALY AFTER 6K MILES MY WARANTY RUNS OUT AND THEN I HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM.*AK

MY WIFE OF 110 LBS SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATES THAT IT IS OFF. WITH A LARGE DEGREE OF FIDGETING IN THE SEAT IT WILL SHUT OFF THE LIGHT BUT TURNS BACK ON WITHIN A FEW MOMENTS.

VIBRATING NOISE HEARD FROM THE INTERIOR COURTESY LIGHT LENS. THE LINER ON THE ROOF PASSENGER LINER IS SEPARATING. TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. ROTORS WARPED ON THE FRONT BRAKES AS A RESULT OF INADEQUATE SIZE TO THE VEHICLE AND INADEQUATE VENTING WHICH RESULTED IN OVERHEATING.

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO RECEPTION. CRACKS DEVELOPING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HEAT SHIELD. HEADPHONES FOR THE DVD SYSTEM WHERE NOT PROVIDED. *TC

THE FRONT END VIBRATED BADLY WHEN THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES. AFTER THE BRAKES WHERE REPLACED THE CONSUMER TRAVELED THREE MILES AND THE RIMS WHERE COVERED WITH BRAKE RESIDUE. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS INADEQUATE FOR THE VEHICLE. *TC *JB

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TOW A TRAILER THE VEHICLE'S FUEL MILEAGE WAS REDUCED BY 40%. *NM THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED, AND THE TRUCK SUDDENLY SWAYED AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE PROBLEMS HE EXPERIENCED WAS DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OVER LOADED.

MY ROTORS WERE WARPED CASING PULSATING WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES AT 3700 MILES. THE DEALER TURNED THE ROTORS AND AS I HAVE BEEN READING FROM THE COMPLAINTS, I WILL BE BACK DURING MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. THEY NEED TO REDESIGN THE ROTORS TO HANDLE THE WEIGHT OF THIS VEHICLE WHEN STOPPING. *JB

SHOULDER STRAP TO MIDDLE SEAT DOES NOT UNBUCKLE.*AK THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THE SEAT BELT WAS TIGHTENING AROUND HER CHILD'S NECK. THE CONSUMER THEN LEARNED THERE WAS NO RELEASE BUTTON. 11/15/05. *JB

THE CONSUMER NOTICED WHILE DRIVING THE WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE CONSUMER DROVE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE PROBLEM INSPECTED. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE TO SMALL FOR THE VEHICLE AND THAT CAUSED LOST OF BRAKING POWER. THE BRAKE PADS AND THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*JB

WITH LIMITED DOOR OPENING, THE CONSUMER WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE HIS LEFT LEG TOUCHED THE SEAT CONTROL MAKING THE SEAT BACK AND THE SEATING PUSH HIM INTO THE STEERING COLUMN CRUSHING HIS CHEST. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE TO OPEN THE DOOR FULLY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT IF THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN RUNNING HE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

ROTORS WERE DETERMINED TO BE WARPED AT 2300 MILES(AUG). THEY WERE RESURFACED AND NEW PADS, AND CALIPERS WERE INSTALLED. NOW AT 4600 MILES (OCT) STEERING WHEEL & VEHICLE STARTING TO VIBRATE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. USUALLY OCCURS WHEN COMING TO A STOP FROM FREEWAY SPEEDS. CONTACED DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A NEW "KIT" TO FIX THE ROTORS. ANOTHER BANDAID???? THESE BRAKES ARE NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR THIS VEHICLE. UNTIL NISSAN REPLACES THE ROTORS WITH LARGER ONES, CAPABLE OF STOPPING THE VEHICLE PROPERLY, THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO CONTINUE. *AK

BAD RADIO RECEPTION. TREBLE FADES IN AND OUT. BULLETIN RELEASED FROM NISSAN REGARDING PROBLEM. HAD NEW AUDIO UNIT INSTALLED. PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. *AK

WHEN BRAKING AT ANY SPEED STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED, AND THE BRAKES MADE A SQUEAKING NOISE. THIS CAUSED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

I PURCHASED A NISSAN ARMADA WITH 1200 MILES SOLD AS NEW WHICH NO PROBLEM WITH THAT BUT AT 4600 MILES MY STEERING WHEEL START TO SHAKE WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE ?! I CALLED THE DEALER THEY TURNED THE ROTORS BUT THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD EXPECT THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN ? PLEASE ASK NISSAN TO DO A RECALL FOR AMERICAN SAFTY ?! IT IS A NICE TRUCK AND I LOVE IT.*AK

WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIRENCING PROBLEMS WITH CABIN NOISE. THERE IS WIND GETTING IN THE VEHICLE AND YOU CAN DEFINITELTY HEAR IT. ANOTHER PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD IS THE RIGHT REAR POWER WINDOW SCRUBBING WHEN YOU LET IT UP OR DOWN. I HAVE SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR IT AND THE CABIN NOISE TO BE SERVICED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND ASKED ABOUT RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE MINE SHAKES AS YOU ARE STOPPING, POSSIBLY A BRAKE OR ROTOR PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS, BUT THEY DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN ARMADA IN DEC. 2003. ON 10/8/04, MY WIFE TOLD ME THE VDC OFF LIGHT, THE SLIP LIGHT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WERE ILLUMINATED. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HE HAD ME BRING IT RIGHT IN. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME ON THE SPOT HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE BRAKES. HE WAS CORRECT. HE MUST HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH ARMADA BRAKE PROBLEMS TO KNOW RIGHT AWAY. THE VEHICLE HAD 17000 MILES ON IT AND IT NEEDED A WHOLE FRONT AXLE BRAKE JOB. THE PRICE TAG WAS $206.00 AND THE VEHICLE WAS LAID UP FOR OVER A DAY. I WAS VERY UPSET SO I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND THAT I SHOULD UNDERSTAND IT IS A HEAVY VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY WIFE AS A PLEASURE VEHICLE, BUT I ALSO WANTED A VEHICLE THAT COULD TOW A BOAT IN THE FUTURE. THE ARMADA IS RATED AT 9100 POUNDS TOWING CAPACITY. I HAVE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING WITH THIS VEHICLE. IMAGINE HOW SOON THE BRAKES WOULD HAVE FAILED IF I USED IT TO TOW ON A REGULAR BASIS. ALSO, REFERRING BACK TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP, THE VEHICLE MAY BE HEAVY BUT IT ALSO NEEDS TO STOP THE WEIGHT OF THE CARGO IT IS TOWING. I WOULD HOPE THE ENGINEERS THAT DESIGNED THIS VEHICLE TOOK THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AND INSTALLED HEAVY DUTY BRAKES. THIS VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY HAS BRAKES INSTALLED THAT ARE NOT HEAVY DUTY ENOUGH. I BOUGHT A NISSAN ALTIMA IN 1995 AND I STILL OWN IT. THERE WAS NO QUESTION WHEN NISSAN CAME OUT WITH THE ARMADA, THAT WE WOULD CONSIDER IT FIRST FOR A LU

MY 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA IS IN SERIOUS NEED OF A LARGER BRAKING SYSTEM. AFTER ONLY 5500 MILES OF MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING MY NISSAN DEVELOPED A FRONT BRAKE SHUDDER INDICATING THE ROTORS WERE WARPED. I TOOK IT TO THE BROWN & BROWN DEALER IN MESA, AZ WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY SEEMED TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND ASSURED ME IT WOULD BE FIXED. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK SUCHAS, BUBBLES IN THE WINDSHIELD A LEAKY SUNROOF THAT SHUDDERS WHEN CLOSING, THE DIMMER SWITCH FOR THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WASN'T EVEN CONNECTED. I FOUND A LOOSE BOLT ON THE FLOORBOARD. THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION OF WHERE IT BELONGS. I GUESS I'LL FIND OUT LATER. THE AUTO ROLL-UP FEATURE FOR THE FRONT WINDOWS IS FAULTY. THE SERVICE GUY SAYS NISSAN IS RESEARCHING IT. ITS BEEN TWO MONTHS. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION? ARE THEY TOO BUSY DESIGNING NEXT YEAR'S LEMONS? I'VE OWNED 5 OTHER NISSAN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. IS IT CANTON, MISSISSIPPI? *NM

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. STEERING WHEEL STARTED VIBRATING UNCONTROLLABLY. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PASSENGER WHO WAS SEATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT ALMOST HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THE SEAT BELT DIDN'T HOLD THE PASSENGER, CONSUMER INDICATED THE PROBLEM WAS THE DESIGN OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED TO THE CONSUMER THEY RECEIVED COMPLAINTS EVERY DAY ON THIS ISSUE, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. *AK THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS SET AT A DOWNWARD ANGLE. *TC

STUCK THROTTLE PEDAL: WHILE DRIVING WITH LOSE FITTING SANDALS MY SANDAL GOT JAMMED BY THE LIP OF THE CENTER COUNSEL THAT EXTENDS OUT ABOUT A 1/2" AND THE GAS PEDAL. MY FOOT WAS STUCK WITH THE GAS PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE I COULD DISLODGE IT. THERE APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT, THE CENTER COUNSEL SHOULD FIT FLUSH WITH THE TUNNEL.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AND UPON COMING TO A STOP STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED, AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHO INSISTED THAT THEY HAD SEVENTEEN VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK. VEHICLE PULLED A TRAILER WITH JET SKI ON THE 15 FREEWAY. SUDDENLY VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP AND STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE, MOMENTARILY LOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND TRAILER BEGAN BOUNCING. HIS WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE AND BECAME CONCERNED AND SCARED.*AK

STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE WHEN BRAKING. THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPT. THERE IS NOW A BULLETIN ON THE CAR AND THEY REPAIRED/REPLACED THE BRAKES ACCORDING TO THE BULLETIN. A BRACKET, BOLT AND PIN? DOES NISSAN, THE MANUFACTURER REALLY THINK THAT IS THE SOLUTION? THE SOLUTION IS EQUIPPING THE VEHICLE WITH THE PROPER (SIZE) BRAKES TO BEGIN WITH. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A SMALL CAR, IT IS A LARGE SUV AND IT NEEDS LARGE TRUCK SIZE BRAKES. A RECALL OR TRUE FIX WOULD BE NICE BEFORE THESE BRAKES FAIL AND HURT SOMEONE. NISSAN REALLY DOESNT SEEM TO CARE BECAUSE WHEN YOU CALL THEM THEY WILL JUST LET YOU DRIVE IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH FAILING BRAKES. IF IT WASNT FOR THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPT ALWAYS PUTTING ME IN A RENTAL WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND REPLACED THEM FOUR TIMES. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE STALLED. WITHOUT WARNING. CONSUMER RESTARTED VEHICLE, AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED.*AK

BRAKE SYSTEM ON NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA 2004.*MR THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE WHILE BRAKING AND THE VEHICLE BECAME INCREASING DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT HEAVY ENOUGH FOR THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED. *NM

BRAKES SHUDDERING-IT'S BEEN IN TWICE ALREADY AND FIXED UNDER A TSB BUT THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING AGAIN. NISSAN CORP HAS A CASE MANAGER ASSIGNED ALREADY. IDA COHEN. *JB

UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND DID NOT STOP. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, HOWEVER,THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. CONSUMER IS STILL AWAITING SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *JB

DEFECTIVE BRAKES. *AK

SERVERAL ISSUES, THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE BRAKES, AND ROTORS. @ 7000 MILES, THE ROTORS WERE TURNED, STEERING WHEEL WAS PULSATING, SERVICE DEPARTMENT TURNED ROTORS. AT 11,000 MILES, THE STERRING WHEEL RESUMED PULSATING ALONG WITH THE BRAKE, SLIP, AND VDC LIGHT ACTIVATED ON THE CONTROL PANEL. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT. MY BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW, PERHAPS LEAKING AND THE BRAKES REQUIRE CHANGING AT MY COST, THE WARRENTY DOES NOT COVER THE BRAKE ISSUE. I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPT. THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE, I WILL NOT PAY FOR NEW BRAKES, AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. MY REASEARCH HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE EARLIER ON THIS WILL BE A CONTINUING ISSUE REGARDING THE ROTORS AND BRAKES. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH, THE BRAKES ARE STILL ON BACK ORDER, THE LIGHT SIGNALS I HAD DESCRIBED EARLIER ARE STILL LIGHTING UP LIKE A XMAS TREE. I AM MORE THAN FRUSTRATED WITH THIS ON GOING ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN, I WAS ASSURED I WOULD RECIEVE A CALL BACK WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS, THAT WAS 2 1/2 WEEKS AGO. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. MY CONFIDENCE IN NISSAN IS MOOT. YOU WOULD THINK I DRIVE CONSTANTLY. I USE THE COMMUTER BUS TO GO BACK AND FORWARD TO WORK. MY DRIVE DAILY IS 3 MILES. EVERYTHING IS ON BACK ORDER. I AM STILL WAITING FOR AN INTERIOR PART FOR THIS VEHICLE SINCE JUNE.*AK

FRONT ROTORS WARPED AT ONLY A LITTLE UNDER 2400 MILES.*AK

WE PURCHASED OUR 2004 NISSAN ARMADA 1 MAY 2004. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE THE PURCHASE. IT WILL COME OFF OF THE TRACK EVERYTIME YOU PUT THE WINDOW DOWN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN NASHVILLE. THET DID NOT WANT TO HELP US UNTIL I ABSOLUTELY THREW A FIT BECAUSE THE WINDOW WAS STUCK DOWN. THEN NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN CLARKSVILLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE OTHER DEALERSHIP HAD ALREADY WORKED ON IT. SO, I PROCEEDED TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP IN NASHIVLLE. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I ENDED UP TAKING THE VEHICLE TO CLARKSVILLE, WHERE THEY PROCEEDED TO BLAME NASHVILLE FOR THE SHODY WORK. CLARKSVILLE PROCEEDED TO FIX THE VEHICLE WITH A NEW PART FOR THE WINDOW, AND WERE WELL AWARE THAT WE WOULD BE MOVING TO NEW YORK THE NEXT WEEK. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO WE NOTICED THAT THE WINDOW WAS OFF THE TRACK AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DEALERSHIPS IN THE NEW YORK AREA, THE FIRST IS BAY RIDGE NISSAN. THEY WANTED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. SO, I DECIDED NOT TO GO BACK TO THAT DEALERSHIP. THEN TODAY, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON STATEN ISLAND WHICH COST ME $8 IN TOLLS FOR ME TO BE TREATED LIKE A MORON AND LIKE I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE VEHICLE I AM DRIVING. I HAD TO CALL MY HUSBAND, WHO IN TURN HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $8 IN TOLLS TO COME
