2005 Nissan Armada complaints

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT ACCURATE AND CAUSED MY ARMADA TO RUN OUT OF FUEL IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65MPH. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK LEFT AS THE CAR SHUTDOWN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY HIGHWAY NO WARNING LIGHTS AT 3AM , VERY CLOSE CALL ON A ACCIDENT ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE AND THE COP WHO WAS HELPING ME. WE COULD NOT PUSH MY SUV OFF TO THE SIDE. SO I TOOK THE SUV TO CAMPBELLNELSON NISSAN OF EDMONDS, I WAS TOLD THERE'S NO RECALL ON MY SUV VIN SPECIFIC. I WAS TOLD THERE'S A RECALL 2005-2009 BUT ON NOT ON MY VIN #. THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS BAD AND WAS NOT READING IT SHOWS 1/4 OF A TANK BUT IT WAS OUT OF GAS. SO WAY IS MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA NOT ON THE RECALL LIST WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE TO GET KILLED! I WANT NISSAN TO PAY FOR MY SUV TO GET FIXED ASAP THIS IS SO WRONG MY SUV IS STILL AT THERE SHOP. *TR

THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON NOVEMBER 15, 2014 WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT GOING NORTH BEFORE THE INTERSECTION (OVERPASS) OF CARMENITA STREET, NORWALK, CA AND I-5 FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES LOST POWER ALONG WITH GIVING A SPRING SOUND. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC . NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AS STATED AND BECAUSE OF THIS MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE/PROBLEM. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED BRAKING POWER RETURNS TO NORMAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF. THIS IS THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT IT HAPPENED BUT I WAS SCARED AND LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY ON FREEWAYS WITH MY FAMILY AS PASSENGERS AND PUTTING THEM, MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER PEOPLE IN DANGER. IT SEEMS THAT I AM NOT ALONE WHO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE AFTER DOING A RESEARCH OVER THE INTERNET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STABILITY CONTROL AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SINCE 2006 THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING I HAVE TO PULL TO SIDE BECAUSE I LOST MY BRAKES AND I HAVE TAKEN TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY HAVE ADJUSTED THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR MANY YEARS INTO MY WARRANTY EXPIRE. AND KNOW THE WANT TO REPLACE THE POWER BOOSTER. KNOW THEY ARE SAID DELTA STROKE SENSOR ON THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER IS NOT GETTING PROPER VOLTAGE. THEY ARE MANY NISSAN ARMADA WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM ONES OF THE LUCKY PERSONA HAVE GOT ON AN ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE NISSAN ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE NISSAN IS RESPONSIBLE TO RECALL ALL ARMADA FROM 2005 TO PRESENT. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND A CAR CUT ME OFF ,I STEPPED ON MY BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND I HEARD AND FELT A GRINDING NOISE. I IMMEDIATELY SWERVED INTO THE DIRT AND THANK GOD THERE WAS NO VEHICLES PARKED IN THE AREA I HAD TURNED INTO. I NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON . I THEN SLOWLY MADE MY WAY HOME AND PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY TRUCK CHECKED. ON 10/6/14 ,I DROVE MY TRUCK VERY SLOW AND CAREFULLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. ON 10/7/14 ,I WAS TOLD A CODE #C1179 DELTA SENSOR WAS BAD AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WENT ON LINE TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS MATTER . IT IS A MAJOR FACTORY DEFECT WITH ARMADAS ,TITAN AND QX56 MODELS FROM 04 TO PRESENT AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. *TR

BRAKE, VDC AND SLIP LIGHTS CAME ON. USE BRAKE PEDAL, METALLIC SPRING NOISE CAME FROM FIREWALL INFRONT OF DRIVER. MINIMAL BRAKING POWER. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAS GAUGE SAID THAT I HAD A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS WHEN IN REALITY I WAS ON EMPTY. I HAD GONE TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTERS FRIEND WHEN IT RAN OUT OF GAS. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IS HAS HAPPENED. ONCE WAS ON A HIGHWAY IN ANOTHER CITY NEAR MY HOME. I CAN'T TRUST IT. WHENEVER I GET TO HALF OF A TANK, I PUT MORE FUEL IN JUST IN CASE BECAUSE THE TRUCK WILL STOP WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *TR

AS I WAS ON MY WAY BACK FROM THE STORE, I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO AN INTERSECTION TO TURN WHEN I FELT THIS GRINDING FEELING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT MADE AN AWFUL NOISE AND I HAD NO BRAKES PER SE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON, HOWEVER, I HAD NOT PUT IT ON. I HAD TO STOP AS BEST I COULD AND TURN THE CAR OFF. ONLY AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF, DID THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT GO OFF AND I COULD CONTINUE. I DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN ON THE WAY HOME, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. ONCE, I HAD MY GRANDDAUGHTER WITH ME AND IT REALLY SCARED ME BECAUSE WE WERE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. LUCKILY I WAS A SAFE DISTANCE BEHIND AND IT WAS RUSH HOUR OR I MIGHT HAVE BEEN ACTUALLY GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. AS IT WAS, I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC. AS OF NOW, MY "SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ON" AND I CAN'T GET IT INSPECTED. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. DEALER CHARGED 130.00 FOR DIAGNOSTICS TO SAY $460.00 HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BASED ON BULLETIN NTB06-001. NOT REPAIRING COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGER AS BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY. *TR

BRAKE JUDDER FROM FRONT BRAKES.[XXX]. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS EPISODES LIKE THIS "BAD ABS, I THINK, ON ARMADA". EVERYTHING GOES WELL AND AM TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED OR PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING AND STEP ON THE BRAKES AND HEAR A TERRIBLE GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES IN ADDITION TO A SPRING LIKE SOUND AND A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN BRAKING POWER. THIS CONTINUES UNTIL I PULL OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN START IT BACK UP AND THE BRAKES WORK FINE. THIS HAS HAPPEN 8-10 TIMES SINCE MAY 2014. IT DID HAPPEN COUPLE OF TIME WHEN I WAS TRAVELING WITH 20-30 MPH AND I COME TO STOP, CAUSING GROANING, BANGING NOISES AND FEEL SPONGY.THIS STARTED HAPPENING IN THE SAME WEEK OR SO AFTER I HAD BRAKE WORK DONE BY DEALER. I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO DEALER TO REPLACE ROTOR AND PADS. THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN BEFORE THAT TIME. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALER IN JULY AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY RESET THE MODULE AND SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE BOOSTER IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I RAN THE SCANNER TO SEE ERROR CODE C1179, DELTA STROKE SENSOR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2010 AND HAD BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH IT. 2-3 TIMES OVER THE FIRST 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP THIS HAPPENED, BUT ALWAYS AT VERY SLOW SPEED RIGHT AFTER LEAVING OUR DRIVEWAY. PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED BY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. THIS ACCIDENT WAS THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED SOME DISTANCE FROM HOME. A CAR STOPPED SHORT, CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND TO BRAKE VERY HARD. MY WIFE (WITH OUR 18 MONTH OLD SON IN THE CAR) ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE AND COULDN'T, HITTING BOTH CARS. SINCE THE ACCIDENT, THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY (3X IN THE LAST MONTH ALONE) - OUR ISSUE IS IDENTICAL TO WHAT I'VE NOW FOUND ON NUMEROUS SITES - ABS LIGHT COMES ON, VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER, GRINDING NOISE, VIBRATION IN THE PEDAL. STOP THE CAR, TURN IT OFF, TURN IT BACK ON, PROBLEM GONE. *TR

I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING POWER AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AT ABOUT 30 MPH AND APPLYING MY BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT AND UNRESPONSIVE AND THE PEDAL BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE ABS SYSTEM OR BRAKE BOOSTER COULD BE HEARD MAKING A METALLIC GRINDING NOISE. I LOST ABOUT 80-90% BRAKING ABILITY AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE IT ENTERED INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION. THIS OCCURRED FOR 1 1/2 MILES UNTIL I GOT HOME. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THEY SUGGESTED A $900 BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACEMENT WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I LOOKED THROUGH THE ORIGINAL SERVICE RECORDS OF THE CAR AND FOUND THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON 3/5/2008 AND A VDC SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED. THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THERE APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM THAT IS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,014.

THE FIRST INCIDENT TOOK PLACE APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASE, BUT IT WAS NOT AS SEVERE, SO I WILL BEGIN WITH THE FIRST SEVERE OCCURRENCE, WHICH TOOK PLACE IN THE SUMMER OF 2009. AT ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLE SHAKES, AND THE STEERING SEEMED A BIT LOOSE. BUT BECAUSE I LIKE MY NISSAN, I JUST DROVE IT VERY CAREFULLY. THEN IN 2014, IT BECAME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH PROBLEMS THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING AS ORIGINALLY I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WAS RELATED TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. BUT IT WAS SHAKING EVEN WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES. I HAVE OWNED VEHICLES THAT COST CONSIDERABLY LESS, AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WHERE THE STEERING SHAFT CONNECTION TO THE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY BECAME SO WORN THAT BOTH THE STEERING SHAFT AND THE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ENGINEERING DEFECT OR POOR WORKMANSHIP, AND A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD, AND IF I HAD NOT HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, OR THE FINANCES TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, IT WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE RESULTED IN A CAR CRASH AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF LIFE, AS WHEN THE STEERING STARTED TO DEGRADE WITHOUT MY APPLYING THE BRAKES, IT DEGRADED QUITE RAPIDLY. I PAID AUTO-NATION NISSAN OF MEMPHIS $1989.60 TO REPAIR, AND IT ONLY PUT ME BACK TO THE POINT WHERE THE SHUDDERING OR SHAKING ONLY OCCURS WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE IN GOOD CONSCIOUS TO SALE THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE, THOUGH I AM SURE THAT NORTH AMERICAN NISSAN WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM DOING SO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL IT DID NOT BRAKE AS USUAL AND IT TOOK MUCH LONGER TO STOP AND THE PEDAL WOULD VIBRATE AND THE CAR MADE A GRINDING NOISE. WE PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AND THEN IT WORKED. WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE BUT IT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN, IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK, TO THE POINT THAT WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT SINCE THIS MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP AND TURN OFF THE CAR. AFTER CONDUCTING AN INSPECTION OF THE BRAKES, I RESTARTED THE CAR. THE BRAKES WERE RELEASED AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN, NOT ONLY WITH ME BUT ALSO WITH MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE TOO. AFTER LOOKING AT THE ONLINE FORUM (CLUB ARMADA) I DETERMINED THAT THE VDC SYSTEM NEEDED REPROGRAMMING (ACCORDING TO ALL OF THE MANY OTHER POSTS ABOUT THE SAME INCIDENT). I'M HERE AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW AND IT SHOULD COST ABOUT $100 TO FIX. WE'LL SEE..... *TR

ON 8/12/14 I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 9:15 PM AND I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO CLARKSON AVENUE FROM NOSTRAND AVENUE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND A I HEARD A SPRING POPPING NOISE WHEN I HAD PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. I WAS SCARED AND DROVE HOME VERY SLOWLY STOPPING AT SEVERAL LIGHTS AND THE SPRING POPPING AND NOW GRINDING NOISE CONTINUED EVERY TIME I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES. I HAD TO SLOWLY PRESS THE BRAKES BECAUSE IT SEEMS AS IF IT LOST SOME POWER. THE NEXT MORNING ON 8/13/14 I CALLED AAA TO TOW ME TO NISSAN. NISSAN TOLD ME MY ROTORS, BRAKE PADS AND BRAKE FLUID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAD THE REPAIR THEY SUGGESTED AND DROVE HOME AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. NOW TODAY ON 8/14/14 THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH THE BRAKES AGAIN AND ITS 8 P,M, I WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW TO CONTACT NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY CAN RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE WITH MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN AT 75 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STALLED AND DIED. POWER STEERING WAS LOST AND THE VEHICLE QUICKLY DECELERATED. I WAS ABLE TO FLASH THE CAR BEHIND ME SO WE WERE NOT REAR-ENDED AND THEN WE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHO TOLD US ABOUT THE CURRENT NHTSA CAMPAIGN #10V517000. IN THE MEANTIME MY WIFE LOOKED ON SOME MESSAGE BOARDS AND PEOPLE REPORTED A FUEL TANK PROBLEM ON THE ARMADAS, WHERE THE FUEL GUAGE SHOWS THERE IS 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS WHEN IN REALITY IT IS EMPTY. WE PUT SOME GAS IN THE TANK AND IT STARTED UP. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE ECM RELAY RECALL, BUT SAID THE FUEL SWITCH (NHTSA # 10V07400) WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I BELIEVE OUR VEHICLE SHOULD BE A PART OF THIS RECALL AND NISSAN SHOULD REIMBURSE US FOR THESE REPAIR COSTS. *JS

WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKES GOT JAMMED I HAD SLOW DOWN AND STOP THE CAR WHEN I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED THE CAR THE BRAKES WERE RELEASED AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF. I HAD REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID AFTER CHECKING THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY MALFUNCTIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN, NOT ONLY WITH ME BUT ALSO WITH MY FRIED WHO HAS 2007 MODEL OF NISSAN ARMADA, HE WAS ALSO TOLD THE SAME THING, WE HAVE REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN DEALER VARIOUS TIMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO INDICATE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON FUEL. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. WHEN THE FUEL WAS REPLENISHED, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND PERFORMED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH BOARD, PUSH BRAKES AND IT MAKES THIS GRINDING NOISE AND THE BRAKES LOSE MOST OF THEIR POWER. AFTER I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN OFF ENGINE AND TURN IT BACK ON LIGHT GOES OFF. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN 2010..IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN IN 2013 A COUPLE OF TIMES AND NOW IT DOES IT ALL OF THE TIME IN 2014. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND A LOT OF THE TIME HAVE MULTIPLE KIDS IN THE CAR THAT DO NOT BELONG TO ME. IT IS A VERY SCARY THOUGHT THAT THE BRAKES WILL JUST STOP WORKING. I JUST GOT NEW BRAKES AROUND 6 MONTHS AGO AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT MORE SINCE THAN. I WILL TAKE MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC AGAIN AND NEED BE FILE EVERY COMPLAINT WITH WHOEVER I CAN TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I HAVE READ MANY, MANY FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THIS EXACT PROBLEM..WHY HASN'T NISSAN RECALLED THIS ISSUE??? SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, THERE WAS A CLUNKING NOISE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND ATTEMPTED TO STALL. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED OFF AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000. UPDATED 09/16/14*LJ THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 1/16/15 *JS

ON 3 OCCASIONS, MY BRAKES HAVE FAILED WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING. THE RED BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. THE BRAKES WERE GRINDING AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR. LUCKILY, I WAS TRAVELING AT LOW RATES OF SPEED EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS TOWED EACH TIME AND THE MECHANIC CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS SINCE IT APPEARS THAT THE BRAKES RESET WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE READ ON LINE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS YET WHEN I CALLED NISSAN, THEY STATED THAT THEY HAVE ONLY RECALLED OLDER VEHICLES FOR BRAKE ISSUES. *TR

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I WAS EXITING THE RAMP I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE BRAKES WERE GRINDING. I HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE LANE TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE I HAD LIL TO NO BRAKE POWER. THIS IS NOT THE 1ST TIME THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT NISSAN NEEDS TO RESOLVE IT FAST BECAUSE THE NEXT PERSON MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW DO TO THE BRAKE ISSUE AND OF COURSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. I AM REPLACING THE BRAKES AND ROTORS AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP ELEVATE THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING AND FAST BEFORE SOMEONE IS FATALLY AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN. IF THIS ISSUE DOES NOT STOP I WILL BE TRADING MY VEHICLE IN AND NOT FOR ANOTHER NISSAN. *JS

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE MAY INACCURATELY DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. *JS

MY GAS GAUGE IS NOT READING PROPERLY. MY GAS TANK IS FULL AND GAS GAUGE IS SHOWING ONLY HALF TANK FULL AND AT TIMES VICE VERSA. *TR

BRAKES SUDDENLY QUIT WORKING PROPERLY, VIBRATION, GRINDING, ETC. HAD TO PUMP BRAKES TO STOP. I TURNED IGNITION OFF, SET P-BRAKE, THEN TURNED VEHICLE BACK ON, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST, I'D SAY 5 OR 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. MY BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE LAST REPLACED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. *JS

THE CORPORATE OFFICE WILL NOT APPROVE THE REPAIR FOR OUR VEHICLE AND NOW WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS FROM WEDNESDAY AND TODAY. WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN AN ESTIMATE FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN NOTIFIED THIS REPAIR WILL NOT BE COVERED BY NISSAN REGARDLESS OF IT BEING THE EXACT ISSUE COVERED UNDER THE LISTED RECALL, AND OUR VEHICLE IS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA.

THE REAR HATCH WILL NOT RELEASE & CONTINUES TO BE TEMPERAMENTAL. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF EVER NEEDING TO RELEASE THE REAR HATCH IN AN EMERGENCY, SUCH AS IN A LIFE SAFETY INCIDENT DURING A FIRE OR ACCIDENT, THE REAR HAD CONTINUALLY FAILS ALONG WITH THE GLASS RELEASE. *TR

WHILE PULLING MY CAR TRAILER WITH A LOADED CAR ON THE TRAILER THE BRAKES ON THE ARMADA STOPPED WORKING. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES STARTED PULSATING REALLY FAST TO THE POINT THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO SERVE AROUND THE CAN IN FRONT OF ME AND I RAN THE RED LIGHT. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS SUV HAS DONE THIS. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2005. THE 4WD HAS NEVER PERFORMED CORRECTLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. OF COURSE, NOW THE VEHICLE IS WAY OUT OF WARRANTY, AND NISSAN WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT HASN'T WORKED RIGHT FROM THE MOMENT I BOUGHT IT. I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO USE THE 4WD SYSTEM FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. I'VE SEEN OTHER POSTS ON SEVERAL OTHER FORUMS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. FOR NOW, I'VE TAKEN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL OUT OF MY VEHICLE, AND A FRIEND OF MINE IS GOING TO SEE IF THERE'S A FIX FOR IT. I THINK IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE ARMADA AND TITAN HAVE DESIGN FLAWS CONCERNING THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. I KEEP HEARING ABOUT LEAKING AND BLOWN SEALS. I LIKE THE CAR, BUT I PAID FOR A 4WD VEHICLE AND I THINK I SHOULD HAVE ONE. IS THERE ANY ACTION I CAN TAKE? AGAINST NISSAN MAYBE? MAYBE THEY COULD PAY ME TO BE OK WITH THEIR FAULTY VEHICLE? I'VE OWNED SEVERAL NISSANS BEFORE AND HAD NO PROBLEMS, BUT I'M THINKING THAT I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE OF THIS. IF THERE'S A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS, SIGN ME UP. OR MAYBE WE COULD FILE ONE. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING BACK FROM WASHINGTON D.C. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER OF MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA AND NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHT WAS LIT UP ON MY DASH AREA. WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES I HAD VERY MINIMAL BRAKING POWER APPROXIMATELY 20-30% AT BEST. THIS BECAME A VERY SERIOUS AND SCARY SITUATION WHEN WE REALIZED WE WERE HEADING INTO A TRAFFIC JAM! I WAS ABLE TO RIDE ON THE SHOULDER AND APPLY THE BRAKES UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO STOP BUT BY NO MEANS DID I HAVE THE BRAKING CAPABILITY THAT WE SHOULD HAVE. THE BRAKING SYSTEM SEEMS TO FIX ITSELF WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTART THE CAR HOWEVER THIS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE DOESN'T PROVIDE A CODE WHEN IT IS RESTARTED. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO A SERVICE STATION THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A CODE TO GIVE TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I WAS ASTONISHED TO FIND HOW MANY NISSAN OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND HOW THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT REALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE OUR 1ST INCIDENT BACK IN 2009 AND IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY. I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET OF THE SAME ISSUE AND NISSANS SUPPOSED FIXES THAT END UP NOT WORKING AND COSTING PEOPLE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. I SIMPLY WANT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITHOUT FEAR OF MY BRAKES GOING OUT AND PUTTING MYSELF, CHILDREN AND OTHERS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. NISSAN NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION AND FIX THE PROBLEM ASAP BECAUSE IF HAD I NOT BEEN AB

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS REPORTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000. MY FUEL GAUGE STOPS WORKING AT ABOUT A QUARTER OF A TANK, AND I HAVE A HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLE. SOMEHOW, MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

WONT WRITE A WHOLE STORY AS THERE ARE MANY HERE TO GO AROUND ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. SO IN SHORT , MY ABS BRAKES ARE ACTIVATING WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AS I COME TO STOP SIGN ,CAUSING GROANING ,BANGING NOISES AND FEEL SPONGY. NISSAN YOU HAVE GOTTEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS, SO ASSIGN SOMEONE TO START THE NEEDED RECALL AND DON'T WAIT UNTIL A FEW PEOPLE ARE KILLED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. RECALL THIS ITEM PLEASE..ITS HAPPENING TO 2 OF MY NISSAN VEHICLES RIGHT NOW.. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE NORMALLY AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHICH STATED THAT THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER DELTA SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR AT SPEED AND UPON STOPPING AND SHUTTING THE VEHICAL OFF THE TRANSMISSION WAS PERCEIVED TO BE IN 4TH GEAR FOR APPROX. 30 MILES TILL OUR DESTINATION WAS ACHIEVE. WHEN ARRIVED THE FLUID WAS AT OPERATING LEVEL AND OF VISUAL CHECK NO LOOSE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WHERE FOUND. AFTER SITTING FIR 15 MIN VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND TRANSMISSION PROPERLY WENT THOUGH 1ST - 4TH GEARS PROPERLY WITH 5TH GEAR STILL MALFUNCTIONING BY MAKING A LOUD ROARING NOISE AND ENGINE SPEED ACCELERATING WITH THE ROARING GETTING LOADER AS ENGINE SPEED INCREASED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AND AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE WAS EMITTED AS THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AN AWFUL SPONGY CRUNCHING NOISE. BRAKES DON'T WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I BROUGHT IT TO THE NISSAN THOUSAND OAKS DEALER (WHERE I BOUGHT IT) AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND NO CODE SHOWED UP. EACH TIME I HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON TO RESET THE BRAKE LIGHT. NISSAN TOLD ME TO "BRING IT IN" THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS... UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ONCE THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP SEVERAL TIMES AT THE DEALER WITH NO FIX. HOWEVER, NOW I'M SEEING A LOT MORE PEOPLE ONLINE POSTING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND GETTING NO RESOLUTION FROM NISSAN. THIS IS THE BRAKES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE... *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, AS I TRIED TO BRAKE MY BRAKES FAILED AND THE FOOT PETAL HIT THE FLOOR MAKING A LOUD SHUTTERING SOUND. SUDDENLY MY BRAKES KICKED BACK IN BUT CONTINUED TO MAKE LOUD SOUNDS. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON THE LIGHT RESET AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I AM TERRIFIED. I HAVE TAKEN MY ARMADA TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY BELIEVE ITS ASSOCIATED WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE C1179 "DELTA STROKE SENSOR" BUT HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HELP ME. PLEASE HELP! *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND WHEN I TRY TO BRAKE, THE BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING/GROANING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT BRAKE PROPERLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IT IS ALWAYS SPORADIC. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF, SOMETHING RESETS AND IT WON'T DO IT AGAIN. SO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME AND IT AFFECTS THE BRAKES WORKING. IF THERE IS A CRASH IN THE FUTURE, IT WILL BE THE FAULT OF NISSAN BECAUSE I AM DOCUMENTING EVERYTHING, INCLUDING THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT. *JB
