2005 Nissan Armada complaints

FUEL GAUGE SHOWS 1/4 OF A TANK WHEN IT IS EMPTY. RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS MODEL BUT MY VIN DOESN'T SHOW AS ONE OF THE RECALLS. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED MY FAMILY TO STALL TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED QUARTER OF TANK THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO NO FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED AND IT STARTED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A FUEL STATION AND THEN HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000. UPDATED 02/22/2017*CT

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN MAY 2015, MY TRUSTED MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT SEPTEMBER 2015 AND REPORTED BACK IT WAS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO ISSUES. JULY 2016 EXPERIENCED BREAK FAILURE AT 15 MILES AN HOUR. AGAIN MY MECHANIC TROUBLESHOOTED THE ISSUES AND SAID THE POWER BREAK BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE THEN REFERRED ME TO NISSAN FOR POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH CORPORATE NISSAN WHO ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO PROVE THE ISSUE EXISTED, FOR ANY POTENTIAL COMPENSATION. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN THEY CONCLUDED REPROGRAMMING THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM; WHICH I HAD TO PAY $300 TO HAVE THIS DONE. ON OCTOBER 2016 INOPERABLE BREAK FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN AT 65 MILES AN HOUR WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, AS I WAS APPROACHING AN EXIT RAMP. THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED TWICE IN ONE DAY, JUST A WEEK LATER. ONCE AS I LEFT WORK GOING 40 MILES AN HOUR, MY DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH VDC AND SKID LIGHTS, IN ADDITION TO MY BREAK FAILURE LIGHT. THE SECOND TIME OCCURRED GOING DOWN A CITY STREET WHERE I HAD TO DO A ROLLING STOP THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, DODGING ONCOMING TRAFFIC, EVENTUALLY HITTING A CURB TO STOP. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE BACK TO NISSAN FOR THEM TO TEST DRIVE (RECREATE) THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE OFF THE LOT DUE TO SAFETY HAZARDS. I HAVE SPENT HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH CORPORATE TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE; BUT YET NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM, OR REFUND ME MY MONEY FOR TH

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP, WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BASICALLY GOES TO THE FLOOR AND BARELY WORKS TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE BRAKES GRIND AS IT IS PUSHED. IF YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IT SEEMS TO RESET ITSELF. WE ALMOST HIT SOMEONE TODAY TRYING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT ROUGHLY 15-20 MPH WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED (TODAY). WE WERE ON A CITY STREET, BRAKING TO STOP. IT SEEMS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND I AM BOGGLED AT THE FACT THAT NO ONE IS REQUIRING NISSAN TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. EVENTUALLY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET VERY HURT. HAVING LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER YOUR BRAKING IS VERY SCARY, ESPECIALLY WITH MY LITTLE ONE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME . THIS IS A LARGE VEHICLE AND WOULD DO A LOT OF DAMAGE IF IT WERE TO HIT SOMEONE THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONCE EVERY 2-4 WEEKS OR SO. IT APPEARS TO BE RANDOM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. AFTER THE CONTACT FILLED THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE FUEL GAUGE FALSELY DISPLAYED A QUARTER OF A TANK. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE IF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 164,240.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPLAINING HERE. I'LL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND OUT OF NO WHERE THE DASH BRAKE LIGHT WILL TURN ON. WHEN I TRY TO BREAK, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL PUSH DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND IT WILL SOUND LIKE IS GRINDING AND ALMOST SOUND LIKE A SPRING IS LOOSE INTHERE. BUT WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT ON, IT GOES AWAY. I HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW AND THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN, I JUST HOPE IT DOESN'T DO IT ON THE FREEWAY..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE WENT IN TO LIMP MODE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR LEAKED IN TO THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

I'VE CALLED STERLING MCCALL NISSAN OF HOUSTON IN FORT BEND COUNTY (281)243-8989. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR TWO WEEKS FOR THE RECALL PARTS TO COME IN. WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG FOR PARTS TO COME IN. I'M TOLD THAT THERE IS NO ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVE WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

READING THE COMPLAINTS AND FOUND OTHERS THE SAME AS MINE. HAVE TAKEN THE NISSAN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST THREE, MAYBE FOUR TIMES, COMPLAINING OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGING WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN ENTERING A FREEWAY (HIGHWAY) AND DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHILE I APPRECIATE THAT OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS NOT A FLUKE, IT IS DISCONCERTING AND DANGEROUS. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 7/23/16!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 15 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE HAD A DELAY WHEN STOPPING. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, THE BRAKING PERFORMANCE WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAGE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 187,355. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPLAINING. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND OUT OF NO WHERE THE DASH BRAKE LIGHT WILL TURN ON. WHEN I PROCEED TO STOP THE CAR THE BRAKE WILL PUSH DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND IT WILL GRIND AND ALMOST SOUND LIKE A SPRING. I PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN IT GOES AWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THERE IS NO WARNING AS TO WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN.

WHILE I AM DRIVING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT TURNS ON AND MY BRAKES LOCKED AND IT'S REALLY HARD FOR ME TO BREAK THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO SHAKES ALMOST LEADING INTO AN ACCIDENT.

THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING DUE TO A FAULTY HARNESS ASSEMBLY. THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT MEASURE FUEL ACCURATELY. THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKES STOP WORKING WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUES WITHOUT US PAYING OVER 3 GRAND EVEN THOUGH THESE ITEMS WERE RECALLED ON OTHER NISSANS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR NISSAN. THIS NISSAN NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALLS. WE BOUGHT THE CAR 5 MONTHS AGO FROM GO AUTOMOTIVE AND THEY ALSO REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUES.

I RECENTLY LEARNED OF THE SAFETY RECALL 10V-074 THAT DESCRIBED THE EXACT SITUATION I ENCOUNTERED IN 2014. I WAS DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN ENGINE DIED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, BUT WAS BETWEEN AN ON RAMP AND OFF RAMP--VERY DANGEROUS. FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/3 OF A TANK. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ADDED A COUPLE GALLONS OF GAS. I WAS ABLE TO START AND DRIVE TO DEALER. NO RECALLS WERE IDENTIFIED FOR MY VIN AT THE TIME SO I WAS CHARGED NEARLY $1000 TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP/SENDER. I AM BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE I HAVE SO FAR BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN NEGOTIATING REIMBURSEMENT FROM NISSAN. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE, I BELIEVE A NON-VIN SPECIFIC SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN MUST BE INITIATED BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE SINCE THESE VEHICLES CAN LAST A LONG TIME--MY ARMADA HAD 154,000 MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING SO I TOOK MY 2005 ARMADA TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE REASON. THE DEALER IS CHARGING ME ABOUT $500.00 TO REPLACE THE HARNESS. THEY SAID THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, I'VE HAD TWO INSTANCES WHERE MY BRAKES GOT JAMMED AND MADE A LOUD NOISE WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE AIR FUEL SENSOR TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN LIMP MODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,227.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATELY DISPLAYING THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, BETWEEN HALF AND ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. THIS HAS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING A DANGEROUS SAFETY SITUATION. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AND NEEDS TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENDER UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK TOGETHER WITH THE O-RING.

ON MARCH 18, 2016, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 NISSAN ARMADA AT APPROX 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE LOST POWER, LUCKILY MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO STEER AND COAST VEHICLE TO THE SIDE.THIS COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGEDY.GAS TANK NEEDLE INDICATED THAT VEHICLE HAD A QUARTER TANK OF GAS IN IT. NO LOW GAS LIGHT INDICATOR WAS ON OR EVER CAME ON!! OUR TEENAGE SON HAD BEEN DRIVING IT FOR OVER A WEEK. WHAT IF HE WAS DRIVING THIS WHEN THIS OCCURRED, HE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE!!!! VEHICLE WAS AT 87,632 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I CAME TO THIS WEBSITE AND OBSERVED WHERE OTHER DRIVERS HAD THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPEN.ALSO OBSERVED WHERE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS FLAW IN THE ARMADA. I ADVISED MY HUSBAND ABOUT THIS AFTER HE HAD ALREADY CALLED A TOW TRUCK. ONCE HE PUT GAS IN IT, IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD, BUT IT WAS ONLY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT SAVED MY HUSBAND SURELY NOT NISSAN!! USUALLY KEEP A 1/2 OF TANK OF GAS OR MORE, BUT TEENAGE SON HAD BEEN DRIVING IT FOR THE LAST WEEK. WHAT IF MY TEENAGER WAS DRIVING IT WHEN IT SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY?? THIS PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE SAME OUTCOME.NO LOW GAS LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON TO WARN MY HUSBAND THAT GAS WAS LOW. MY HUSBAND, SON OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!! AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT MILEAGE WAS AT 87,632

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA THAT HAVE A SERIOUS BRAKING ISSUES THAT NEEDS TO BED LOOKED INTO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND MAKE A GRINDING NOISE I SPOKE WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN AND HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC DONE, WHICH WILL CALL ME 99.00 THAT IS NONE REIMBURSABLE APPARENTLY THERE WAS A LAWSUIT FOR THIS ISSUE IN CALIFORNIA THAT WAS SETTLE BY NISSAN IN MY RESEARCH I FOUND OTHER NISSAN OWNER WHO ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THERE VEHICLES FROM THE YEAR 2004 - PRESENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE PEDAL FAILED. THE CONTACT COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL. IN ADDITION, ANOTHER DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET CLOSE TO MY HOME (FORTUNATELY) AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I HIT THE BRAKES TO TEST THEM TO FIND THAT THE BRAKES LOST MOST POWER AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATED HORRIBLY. I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I THEN SHUT IT OFF AND THEN STARTED IT BACK UP, WHICH CLEARED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. A FEW DAYS LATER I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME THE VDC NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOW ISSUE BY NISSAN FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER CHARGED ME TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE, YET LESS THAN 1,000 MILES LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. BACK TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT NOW THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDS REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF ANOTHER $1,000 AS PART OF THE SAME KNOWN ISSUE. I CALLED NISSAN, BUT THEY FLATLY REFUSE TO WARRANTY WHAT THEY KNOW IS A DEFECTIVE SYSTEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 56,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE THAT I HAD JUST PURCHASED OFF THE PARKING LOT OF THE DEALER WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON THE DASHBOARD I PROCEEDED TO STOP AND WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE DELAYED TO COME TO A FULL STOP. I ALSO HEARD A WEIRD NOISE SOUNDED LIKE A GRINDING NOISE AND SPRINGS COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL.

FRONT END SPRINGS OR SUSPENSION IS MALFUNCTIONING

BRAKE BOOSTER MALFUNCTIONS DURING NORMAL DRIVING CAUSING UNSAFE BREAKING. BRAKES ALMOST LOCK UP WHEN PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. YOU HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD,TURN TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON TO WORK, AND SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO 2 OR 3 TIMES. DEALER WANTS $1K TO FIX BOOSTER AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, IT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED, RAN OUT OF GAS 2 TIMES WHEN GAUGE STILL SHOWS 1/4 TANK. THIS IS A RECALL ON NEWER VEHICLES BUT MINE IS A 2005. AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND DEALER STATES NEEDS REPLACING

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES STARTING IN 13' WITH THE ECM BEING REPLACED AFTER 05' ARMADA STALLED ON HIGHWAY TRAVELING 70 MILES/HOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. RECENTLY IN EARLY 15' I RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A QUARTER TANK OF GAS AT A RED LIGHT. ALSO IN EARLY 15' MY A/C WILL ONLY WORK WHEN ON HIGH. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE KNOWN & ARE LISTED AS RECALLS THAT I WILL BE MAKING A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO RESEARCH, CORRECT & FIX. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR & EXACT KNOWN ISSUES ONLINE. MOST RECENTLY IN NOVEMBER 15' I WAS PICKING MY CHILDREN UP FROM SCHOOL IN THE RAIN. I WAS TRAVELING HOME WHEN I HAD TO APPLY MY BREAKS, BUT THEY DID NOT PERFORM AS THEY SHOULD. THE BREAKS MADE A SPRING SOUND, THE BRAKE PEDDLE HAD LITTLE TO NO RESISTANCE WHEN I APPLIED MY FOOT TO STOP & THE BREAK LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO VEER OFF THE ROAD & RAN INTO A FENCE POST VERY LIGHTLY WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE TO MY FRONT CHROME BUMPER. I TURNED CAR OFF & IMMEDIATELY CHECKED ON MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. WE WERE ALL OK, THANK GOD. I STARTED ARMADA TO FIND THAT THE BREAK LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. I HESITATED TO DRIVE DUE TO WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. I WAS ONLY 3 MILES FROM HOME SO I SLOWLY ATTEMPTED TO CONTINUE HOME. THE ARMADA DROVE PERFECT & THE BREAKS FUNCTIONED AS THEY SHOULD WITH NO ISSUES. I GOOGLED INCIDENT TO FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS & REPORTS WITH SIMILAR TO IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS/KNOW ISSUE REPORTED & FILED. I WAS BLESSED THAT MY FAMILY WAS OK & I WAS ABLE TO AVOID

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE INACCURATELY DISPLAYS THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE STOP WORKING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK. I DID NOT NOW THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE GAS. FORTUNATELY NO-ONE WAS HURT BUT IT COULD HAVE PRODUCED A SERIES CAR CRASH ALSO, PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON SO DEALER HAD TO CHANGE THE OLD ONE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL.ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

BRAKES STUTTER AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON WITH OUT WARNING CAR DOES NOT STOP, IF YOU TURN VEHICLE OFF THE PROBLEMS GOES AWAY, LOCAL STREETS USUAL AT SPEEDS OF 35 TO 45 TRYING TO STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT..VERY SCARY

BRAKES FAILED, MASTER CYLINDER BRAKE PRESSURE REDUCED WHEN BRAKES WHERE APPLIED ALMOST HITTING STOPPED TRUCK IN FRONT. SIMULAR TO REPORT RECEIPT DATE: SEP 18, 2013 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V451000 COMPONENT(S): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 3,247 MY SUV ALSO HAS THE SAME ISSUE.

SUV RAN OUT OF FUEL AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THERE IS AN RECALL BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL. MANUFACTURER'S REPORT DATE: MARCH 22, 2010 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: N/A

SUV RAN OUT OF GAS AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN CENTER LANE DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC ON WIFE AND KIDS, GAUGE READ 1/4 OF TANK. STEPPED ON BRAKE DIDN'T WORK HAD A LOAD NOISE, VDC LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH. UNDERSTAND NOW THAT ABS SYSTEM FAILED AND FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED. NISSAN HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT MINE? THEY HAVE TRIED REALLY HARD TO KILL MY FAMILY WITH THIS FAULTY EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING BRAKES DONOT WORK I ALMOST CRASH , TO TRAUMATIC.

I NOW HAVE $450.00 AUTO REPAIR BILL BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THAT WILL NOT INFLATE IF I WERE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I ALSO OWN A 2003 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT HAD A RECALL ISSUED FOR AN AIRBAG PROBLEM. VERY DISAPPOINTED THE ARMADA WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL

I WAS DRIVING AND MY VEHICLE CUT OFF. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT IT DID NOT START. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR. I AGREED TO THIS SERVICE AS WELL AS PURCHASED A BATTERY AND HAD A SEAL REPLACED. THE VEHICLE DROVE WELL FOR ABOUT A WEEK. APPROXIMATELY A WEEK LATER IT CUT OFF AGAIN. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY COMPLETED AN IDLE RELEARN ON THE TRUCK. IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT A MONTH, BUT HAS RESUMED CUTTING OFF WHICH HAS RESULTED IN IT STALLING IN TRAFFIC AND LEAVING MY FAMILY STRANDED WHILE WE ATTEMPT TO TROUBLESHOOT. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN ON 7/18 DUE TO IT BREAKING DOWN. WHEN IT ARRIVED AT THE SHOP IT DID NOT TURN ON INITIALLY, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO START IT. IT WAS THERE UNTIL 7/21 DURING WHICH TIME I AGREED TO HAVE THEIR SHOP FOREMAN DRIVE IT HOME. THEY CLAIM THAT IT NEVER CUT OFF DURING THE TIME THAT THEY HAD IT. THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REASON FOR THE ISSUE, STATING THAT THE TRUCK HAS TO BREAK DOWN FOR THEM TO TROUBLESHOOT DUE TO THE COMPUTER NOT RECEIVING A CODE FROM THE VEHICLE. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I LEAVE IT WITH THEM UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN, WHICH WOULD BE FINE IF IT WASN'T MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. THIS ISSUE IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE COULD CUT OFF AT ANY TIME AND LEAD TO A FATAL VEHICLE ACCIDENT. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT NO SOLUTION CAN BE PROVIDED UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DISABLED?

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN ACTING UP. WHEN I AM DRIVING MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND I GO TO STOP AND THE I CAN'T STOPMAKEING A HORRIBLE NOISE. I HAVE TO STOP MY VEHICLE WHERE EVER I AM DRIVING AND STOP THE CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND THEN RESTART MY CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME SINCE NOVEMBER AND RECENTLY HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE SAME WEEK . THIS IS NOT SAFE AND IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU CAN'T STOP YOUR CAR. I DID TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT SINCE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYHTING THEY SENT ME AWAY SAYING THAT MY ROTORS HAVE DUST ON THEM AND I CAN PAY EST $100 TO PAY TO HAVE THEM CLEANED. THEN RECENTLY WITHIN THE LAST WEEK ; MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR UP THERE WHEN HE WAS DRIVING IT AND IT DID THE SAME THING BUT THEY WOULD NOT SEE HIM DUE TO HOW BUSY THEY WERE ALREAY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. MY FAMILY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND PUTTING THEM IN THIS CAR IS THE SCAREST THING I HAVE TO DO ON THE DAILY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE BRAKES DONT WORK ?? THIS REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL TO THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND DEFINITELY IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HOPE NISSAN CAN SEE THAT OUR LIVES ARE WORTH MORE THAN WHATEVER THE AMOUNT THEY WOULD PAY TO HAVE ALL OF THESE CARS FIXED PLEASE NISSAN PLEASE. NEXT STOP BBB!!!!!!!

I GOT THIS VEHICLE AROUND DEC 2013. I HAD THEM FIX THE AIR BAG LIGHT BECAUSE IT IS GOING ON AND OFF. DEALERSHIP IS HUDSON NISSAN. FIXED THE HARNESS. AUGUST 2014, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM FIXED THRU FREEHOLD NISSAN. NOW, JULY 2015, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN BUT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. I ASKED NISSAN CORPORATE TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER AND IF THEY CAN FIX IT FOR ME WITHOUT ANY FEE BECAUSE I FELT THIS IS NOT A MOVING PART AND THE PROBLEM IS PERSISTENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIR BAG WILL ENGAGE UPON AN ACCIDENT. NISSAN CORPORATE DECLINED TO FIX IT FOR FREE. IM JUST AFRAID THAT EVEN IF I HAVE IT REPAIRED AND PAY FOR IT, THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN AFTER A WHILE. PLS LOOK INTO IT.

THE BRAKE, SLIP AND VDC OFF LIGHT COME ON AT ONCE. LOSE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE. PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO FLOOR WITH NOISE LIKE THE ABS IS ON, GRINDING SOUND SHUDDERING HAPPENS. TURN OFF AND TURN ON VEHICLE, ISSUE GOES AWAY FOR ANYWHERE FROM A DAY TO A FEW WEEK THEN HAPPENS AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED ON MOSTLY DRY SMOOTH PAVEMENT. IT COULD HAPPEN FEW TIMES A DAY OR FEW TIMES A WEEK AND SOMETIMES NOT FOR WEEKS. I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE LUCKILY IT HAD HAPPENED EVERY TIME I WAS 20 MPH OR BELOW.

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST A YEAR. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN ACTING UP. WHEN I AM DRIVING MY BRAKE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING AND I GO TO STOP AND THE I CAN'T STOP. I HAVE TO STOP MY VEHICLE WHERE EVER I AM DRIVING WHETHER IT IS A HIGHWAY OR MAIN ROAD AND STOP THE CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN PUSH THE VDC LIGHT BUTTON AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND THEN RESTART MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK TO ME AND EVEN UP TO 4 OR 5 TIMES A DAY THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU CAN'T STOP YOUR CAR. THIS REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL TO THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND DEFINITELY IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

I WAS GOING DOWN 4 LANE HWY AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN APPROACHING INTERSECTION. THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO SHAKE OFF THE AXEL. I JUST KNEW I WAS GOING TO HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME 15 MPH BECAUSE EVERY TIME I TOUCHED THE BRAKES THE CAR WOULD VIOLENTLY SHAKE TO THE POINT OF PULLING ME OFF OF THE ROAD. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT, IT MUST HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. IT HAS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES. I RECENTLY STARTED LOOKING ONLINE FOR ANY INFO ON THE MATTER AND FOUND THAT IT IS HAPPENING PRETTY REGULAR TO PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MODEL AND MAKE AS MINE AND ALSO IN A PRETTY CLOSE TIME FRAME. IT DOESN'T TAKE A GENIUS TO FIGURE OUT THAT THIS IS A DEFECT. A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BY NISSAN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

THE BRAKE, SLIP AND VDC OFF LIGHT COME ON AT ONCE. LOSE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE. PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO FLOOR WITH NOISE LIKE THE ABS IS ON. SLOWLY CAN GET TRUCK TO STOP. TURN OFF AND TURN ON VEHICLE, ISSUE GOES AWAY FOR ANYWHERE FROM A DAY TO A FEW WEEK THEN HAPPENS AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED ON MOSTLY DRY SMOOTH PAVEMENT.

AS I WAS ON MY WAY HOME DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY TRUCK CUT OFF, THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN OVER A YEAR, EACH TIME I NOTICED MY FUEL GAUGE WAS READING 1/4 OF A TANK, SO I CHECK FOR RECALLS ON THE 2005 NISSAN ARMADA AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM BUT WHEN I CALLED THE NISSAN CORP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT COULD BE, IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2005 ARMADA FOR THE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM AND MY VEHICLES FUEL SYSTEM IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHY ISN'T THE RECALL ON ALL NISSAN ARMADAS OF THE SAME YEAR. *TR

THE BRAKES ONLY BARELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE AFTER DEPRESSING TO PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. NOW SOME WARNING LIGHTS COME ON VDC, SLIP, BRAKE AND WON'T GO OFF. THE BRAKES DON'T SEEM TO BE WORKING PROPERLY AND THE PEDAL WHEN DEPRESSED SLOWLY GOES TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE NEW BRAKES, ROTORS, ETC (10,000 MILES AND THE BRAKE FLUID IS AT THE PROPER LEVEL. I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM FROM MANY MANY PEOPLE NO THE WEB. THIS IS NOT AM ISOLATED PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE HANDLED BY NISSAN AND PUT INTO A RECALL. PEOPLE ON THE WEB WERE REFERENCING A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OR EVEN JUST PUTTING IT IN REVERSE, WHEN I TRY TO BRAKE IT FEELS LIKE A SPONGY/STRINGY PEDAL THAT GOES TO THE GROUND AND MAKES A LOUD GRIND NOISE. YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND IT IS FINE, I HAVE TOOK IT IN THE SHOP AND NOTHING WRONG, I AM LIKE REALLY... I CAN'T BE TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF EVERY TIME IT DOES THIS, THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE OR A DEFINITE RECALL..NOW THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES AND WITH FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE IS A DANGER I THINK. HOPE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. ALSO SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT BACK AFTER THE RECALL THAT WAS DONE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE LIGHT (NOT ABS) ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND AND ALMOST PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE TRUCK OFF, AND RESTARTED IT. THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED, BUT I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE. AFTER TURNING IT OFF AND LETTING IT SIT FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I TURNED IT ON AGAIN. THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON AND THE BRAKES ENGAGED. I TOOK IT TO A BRAKE SHOP ON 3/27/15 AND WAS TOLD THAT MY PADS ARE FINE. THEY ALSO CHECKED THE FLUID AND THE LEVEL WAS OK. I CONTACTED A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE AREN'T ANY RECALLS. THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY REPORTS FROM CONSUMERS ABOUT THIS TYPE OF ISSUE OCCURRING, BUT COULD NOT PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED AND COULD BE RESET BY TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS ALSO HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY, BUT I DON'T RECALL EXACTLY WHEN. *TR

ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS STARTING JULY 2011 AND ENDING MARCH 2015, THE BRAKES FAILED AFTER VDC/ABS/SLIP WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. ON ONE OF THE OCCASIONS, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP CAUSING IT TO GO THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION AND JUST MISSED BEING STRUCK BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. SPENT OVER $2000.00 IN REPAIRS AND THE PROBLEMS PERSIST. I NO LONGER FEEL SAVE IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND FINALLY SOLD IT AT A LOST. *JS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY ARMADA ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND OTHERS CAME ON! I WAS TERRIFIED AS I FLOATED THRU TRAFFIC TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT! I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND COULD ONLY SWERVE ACROSS FAST LANE TO GET NEAR THE FREEWAY DIVIDER AND OUT OF TRAFFIC! LET'S JUST SAY I GOT OVER RIGHT IN THE NICK OF TIME! THE TRUCK DIED OUT COMPLETELY! FUEL GAUGE SHOWED I HAD ABOUT 1/4 TANK OF GAS SO I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY ENGINE. I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 4 DAYS PRIOR (NO WARRANTY) SO I WAS REALLY UNSURE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON! STATE PATROL HELPED GET ME OVER TO TOWING ZONE AND I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED HOME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HE STATED THAT THE GAS GAUGE MIGHT BE OFF A BIT AND TO GO AHEAD AND ADD GAS. I DID AS INSTRUCTED AND MY TRUCK STARTED RIGHT BACK UP! I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH SAME ISSUE WHICH CAUSED NISSAN TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM- RECALL ID# 68293, CAMPAIGN# 10VO74000. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER SVCS AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SPECIFIC RECALL BUT TO TAKE IT IN TO DEALER TO VERIFY/ CONFIRM ISSUE. I DID SO THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND THE MECHANIC AT OLYMPIA NISSAN GLADLY CONFIRMED ISSUE WITH FUEL SENDING UNIT AND WAS QUOTED $465.00 PLUS TAX TO REPLACE, WHICH NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER. SURPRISINGLY, I RECEIVED A CALL EARLIER TODAY FROM MELODY WITH NISSAN CONSUMER SVCS TO INFORM ME THAT SHE WAS ESCALATING MY ISSUE REGARDING FUEL SYSTEM. I COULD HAVE CA

AS I PRESSED ON BRAKES TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AT INTERSECTION TWO DAYS AGO, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN A LOUD METAL GRINDING NOISE CAME FROM THE FRONT! THE TRUCK NOW HAD DIFFICULTY STOPPING; I HAD TO FLOOR IT IN ORDER FOR VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I NEARLY REAR ENDED THE VAN THAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME! I WAS IN THE BACK ROADS SO THERE WERE SEVERAL STOP SIGNS/ INTERSECTIONS ON MY WAY HOME. AS I CONTINUED DRIVING AND BRAKING TO SLOW DOWN/ STOP, THE GRINDING NOISE WAS VERY LOUD AND THE TRUCK RARELY HAD ANY BRAKE POWER! I WAS TERRIFIED AND FINALLY WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO PULL OVER ON TO THE SIDE TO BREATHE AND CALM MY NERVES DOWN. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL, ETC. I THEN CONTINUED HOME WHERE I TURNED TRUCK OFF AND ASKED NEIGHBOR MECHANIC TO CHECK IT FOR ME. HE TURNED TRUCK BACK ON AND WE DROVE IT TO TEST BRAKES. EVERYTHING WAS NOW WORKING FINE! IT DID NOT SIT RIGHT WITH ME. I RESEARCHED ONLINE LAST NIGHT AND JUST LIKE THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUE THAT HAPPENED A WEEK PRIOR, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THIS BRAKE FAILURE! WHEN A REP FROM NISSAN CONSUMER SVCS CALLED EARLIER TODAY TO FOLLOW UP REGARDING MY TRUCK'S FUEL GAUGE ISSUE, I REPORTED THE BRAKE ISSUE. SHE JUST SAID "YES I'M SORRY BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR DEALERSHIP TO VERIFY ISSUE FIRST IN ORDER FOR NISSAN TO TAKE SOME KIND OF ACTION." UNBELIEVABLE. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE REPORTED INCIDENTS OUT THERE OF THIS DEFECT. UNFORTUNATELY, CONSUMERS ALS

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 65 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH. AS I APPROACHED A CURVE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. I HAPPENED TO BE IN THE FAR LEFT LANE, AND WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO A NARROW SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. BY THE TIME I GOT STOPPED, I WAS SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE CONCRETE HIGHWAY DIVIDER AND THE FAST LANE OF TRAFFIC. HIGHWAY ASSISTANCE, AAA AND MY FATHER CAME TO MY ASSISTANCE. MY FATHER THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL, WHICH I DISPUTED BECAUSE THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR DID NOT ILLUMINATE, AND THE GAUGE WAS AT 1/4 TANK. IT TURNED OUT I WAS OUT OF GAS. I STOPPED RELYING ON THE GAUGE, AND STARTED FILLING UP AS SOON AS THE GAUGE HIT 1/4. LATER, I RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN THE GAUGE READ 1/2 TANK! OK. TIME TO GET THIS REPAIRED. THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY YEAR ARMADA, FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. GREAT! ONCE I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, THEY SAID THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL SENDER WAS VIN SPECIFIC. MY MOTHER RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE THAT THE PART SHOULD BE COVERED. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO PROVIDE AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS FOR CORRESPONDENCE WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE, AND TO NOT PERFORM ANY REPAIRS, AS I EXPECTED THIS TO BE COVERED. IN A SUBSEQUENT CALL TO CUSTOMER CARE WITH THE "BAD FUEL SENDER" DIAGNOSIS, I WAS TOLD I DID NOT MEET THE "HISTORY OF GOODWILL PARAMETERS", SO MY REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED. I DECIDED NOT TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEN TOLD ME THERE WAS $250 OF LABOR TO DI
