2006 Nissan Armada complaints

MY NISSAN ARMADA CAUGHT FIRE WITH NO WARNING. NISSAN HAS ADMITTED THIS IS DUE TO A RECALLED AIR COMPRESSOR UNIT WITH LIKELIHOOD TO CATCH FIRE. NISSAN WILL NOT REMEDY THE SITUATION AND IS NOW NEGOTIATING IN BAD FAITH. NISSAN HAS OFFERED TO BUY OUT THE CAR SO THEY CAN SELL THE COMPONENTS AT AUCTION - HOWEVER, THEY ARE UNWILLING TO MAKE US WHOLE. *JB

I HAD MY MOM, AUNT AND 2 SMALL KIDS IN THE TRUCK WE WERE ON THE WAY TO DROP MY MOM OFF AT HER HOME. ONCE I PULLED UP IN FRONT OF HER HOUSE WE NOTICED THE TRUCK SMOKING. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD. I OBSERVED WIRES BURNING FROM THAT POINT I CLOSED THE HOOD SO THAT THE VEHICLE COULD COOL OFF. I THEN WALKED MY MOM TO HER FRONT DOOR AS I WALKED BACK TO MY VEHICLE I OBSERVED MY TRUCK ON FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY RUSHED TO THE VEHICLE AND GOT MY KIDS AND AUNT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND RESPONDED WITHIN 7 MINUTES. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED MY TRUCK WAS IN FULL FLAMES. *TR

WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY MY BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON AND I HAD NO BRAKES. I HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER CARS TO AVOID AN CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. NISSAN HAS NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. WHY? WHY? WHY? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. OR WILL IT TAKE PEOPLE DYING??? BUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF POSTING ON-LINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. BUT STILL NO RECALL. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWO WEEKS AGO AS WELL. PULLED THE CAR OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. SON OF A GUN...IT RESET THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE BRAKES WORKED AGAIN. SO, I JUST ASSUMED IT WAS A ONE TIME THING. BUT NO IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. I WAS LITERALLY TERRIFIED ABOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND BEING ABLE TO GET HOME TO MY KIDS. *TR

I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND WENT TO USE THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL HESITATED AND WOULD NOT GRAB NORMAL LIKE THEY USUALLY DO. THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NOW ON, SO I DECIDED TO PULL OVER IN A PARKING LOT AND TRY AND LOOK TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND OPENED THE HOOD TO MAKE SURE I HAD FLUID AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING OBVIOUS. EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NOT ON ANYMORE AND THE BRAKES WERE WORKING. A FEW MONTHS WENT BY AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAS STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. I SAW A TREND WHERE IT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING FOR ONE-TWO HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WOULD NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. I WOULD MAKE SURE THAT I WOULD START SLOWING DOWN AND TRYING TO BRAKE A LOT SOONER THAN I WOULD NORMALLY HAVE TO. RECENTLY THIS HAS STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY EVEN WHEN I AM DOING SHORT DISTANCE DRIVING NEAR MY HOME. I HAVE BEEN TO THREE DIFFERENT SHOPS TO LOOK AT MY BRAKES AND EVEN SPENT OVER $600 TO GET NEW BRAKES AND CHECK EVERYTHING OUT AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE WORKING PROPERLY, BUT IT STARTED HAPPENING A WEEK AFTER. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THIS TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. I PLAN ON BRINGING MY ARMADA TO A DEALER LATER THIS WEEK. I FELL UNLESS THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING RIGHT WHEN I BRING IT IN, THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THE BRAKE PEDAL / BRAKES NOT WORKING WHEN I GO TO BRAKE HAVE HAPPENED WELL OVER 25 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. I HOPE IT DOES NOT TAKE SO

AS I WAS DRIVING ENTERING THE INTERSTATE FROM THE ON RAMP A CAR IN FRONT OF ME HIT THEIR BRAKES. AS I WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES THEY MADE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND, THE BRAKE LIGHT FLASHED AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I HAD TO SWERVE TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID A CRASH. DROVE CAR TO NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP DOING APPROX 20MPH AND AVOIDING OTHER VEHICLES. WHEN I GOT THERE I SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND HAD THE SERVICE DEPT TEST DRIVE, BUT THE PROBLEM HAD RESET ITSELF ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED (FOUND THIS OUT ONLINE AFTERWARDS WHEN RESEARCHING AND DISCOVERING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ARMADAS.) THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES AND NISSAN IS STILL REFUSING TO ASSIST WITH FIXING THE PROBLEM. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE LOST BRAKES, FORTUNATELY AT LOW SPEED. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, TERRIBLE NOISE COMES FROM THE BRAKES AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO STOP. EXACTLY 1 WEEK AGO, I HAD THE SAME INCIDENT AND TOOK IT TO "JUST BRAKES". THEY CHANGED ALL MY BRAKES (600.00 LATER) AND IT SEEMED THE ISSUE WAS FIXED (BECAUSE I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, WHICH RESET THE BRAKE MECHANISM).. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN SEEMS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE KILLED PEOPLE HAD THERE BEEN MORE TRAFFIC. AFTER TURNING OFF TRUCK AND TURNING BACK ON AGAIN, THE PROBLEM RESOLVES. BUT I WILL NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I FEEL LIKE WE ARE DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE LOST BRAKES, FORTUNATELY AT LOW SPEED. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, TERRIBLE NOISE COMES FROM THE BRAKES AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO STOP. EXACTLY 1 YEAR AGO, WE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS AND TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY FOUND A CODE C1170 AND PERFORMED A REPROGRAMMING OF THE COMPUTER. THIS IS INTERMITTENT SO IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL ALMOST A YEAR LATER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN SEEMS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. WE COULD HAVE KILLED PEOPLE HAD THERE BEEN MORE TRAFFIC. AFTER TURNING OFF TRUCK AND TURNING BACK ON, THE PROBLEM RESOLVES. BUT WE NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. WE FEEL LIKE WE ARE DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS WE HAVE MET 4 OTHER PEOPLE IN OUR LOCAL AREA WITH ARMADAS AND THEY ALL HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING! *TR

I'VE OWN MY USED NISSAN ARMADA FOR (4) YEARS. A MONTH AFTER I HAD IT THE VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHT WARNING CAME ON AND I HAD NO BRAKES. WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES THE PEDDLE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR MAKING A LOUD CRUNCHING SOUND. I PULLED OVER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND ON AGAIN AND IT ALL WENT AWAY AS IF NOTHING HAPPEN. THE ENGINE AND THE TRUCK SOMEHOW RESETTED ITSELF. I'VE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIME AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I STILL HAVE THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN RID OF IT YET DUE TO THE FACT ITS NOW PAID FOR. ITS JULY 2013 AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING BUT MORE OFTEN. I'M THINKING ABOUT GETTING RID OF IT IF THERE IS NO RECALL. I'M WONDERING IF NISSAN IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THEY RECALL THESE VEHICLES. I SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

IT APPEARS THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH A BRAKE ISSUE WITH OUR 2006 NISSAN ARMADA AND WOULD HOPE SOMETHING COULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT NISSAN HAS AN ISSUE WITH THEIR BRAKE ISSUES. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO A DEALER IN SEBRING FLORIDA LAST YEAR AND I BELIEVE I TRIED TO HAVE ANOTHER DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT BEFORE LAST YEAR WHEN IT WAS IN WARRANTY. OF COURSE, THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEY JUST WANT TO TELL YOU IT IS THIS OR THAT...BRAKE BOOSTER...CYLINDROID...SENSOR...WELL, THE DEALERSHIP IN SEBRING DID DO SOMETHING WITH THE SENSOR AND COULD NOT GUARANTEE IT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED KEPT AND HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 2000 MILES SINCE THEY DID WHATEVER THEY DID. IF YOU GO ONLINE, YOU WILL FIND MANY OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO DO SOMETHING TO GET THEM TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM? .....SOMEONE TO DIE...SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE ANYONE WILL DO SOMETHING. YOU WOULD THINK THAT WHEN YOU PAY TOP DOLLAR FOR A VEHICLE THAT YOU WOULD QUALITY AND IT TO LAST MORE THAN A COUPLE YEARS BEFORE MAJOR REPAIRS WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE. I HAVE A 2003 FORD FOCUS THAT WE BOUGHT USED AND HAS OVER 120,000 AND WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY MINOR NORMAL REPAIRS. THE ISSUE WITH BRAKES DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME...WHEN IT DOES, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN AS YOU TRY TO BRAKE ....THE BRAKE PEDDLE WILL GO TO THE FLOOR, MAKE A HORRIBLE CRUNCH NOISE AND NO BRAKES. WE BOUGHT THIS TO PULL OUR 2006 FORREST RIVER TOY HAULER WHICH WE HAVE ONLY USE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO DECELERATE. THERE WAS A RATTLING NOISE FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AS THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WOULD TURN OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTED TO RESOLVE FAILURE MOMENTARILY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, PEDAL GOES REAL LOW AND THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND WITH NO BRAKING. SIMULTANEOUSLY THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF ENGINE AND TRUCK RESETS BECAUSE I CAN DRIVE AWAY AS IF NOTHING OCCURRED. HAD CHECKED ONCE AND NOTHING FOUND, THERE ARE NO RECALLS BUT SEVERAL BLOGS AND COMPLAINTS INCLUDED ON THIS SITE FOR SAME ISSUE. NOW DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $927 FOR BOOSTER. I HAVE READ AND FOLLOWED UP ON SOME CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND THIS ACTION DOES NOT FIX PROBLEM. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT FLICKERED AND, WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED IT MADE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND WITH GREATLY REDUCED BRAKING POWER. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES AND I TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS LOW BRAKE FLUID. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AGAIN WITH THE FLUID LEVEL AT PROPER AMOUNT. TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAY IT IS A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. A REVIEW OF ARMADA AND NISSAN TITAN MESSAGE BOARDS REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON (AND VERY DANGEROUS) PROBLEM THAT IS KNOWN TO NISSAN. *TR

IN THE PAST WEEK IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT TURN ON. THEN WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL IT MADE AN AWFUL GRINDING NOISE BOTH WHILE BEING PRESSED AND WHILE LETTING OFF OF THE BRAKE. THE BRAKES WERE VERY SLOW TO WORK. I PULLED OVER CHECKED THE E-BRAKE TO BE SURE IT WAS OFF AND STILL THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WHEN I GOT TO WORK I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND HAD A CO-WORKER CHECK MY BRAKE FLUID WHICH WAS FINE. UPON TURNING ON THE CAR IT DID NOT SHOW THE SAME SIGNS, IT "RE-SET" THE BRAKE LIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE MORE SINCE THEN, ONCE ON A BUSY STREET, WHILE AT THE REDLIGHT I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND AGAIN, ALL BETTER. THEN AGAIN YESTERDAY ON THE FREEWAY. I PULLED ALL THE WAY OVER TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AGAIN AND YET AGAIN ALL BETTER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. LUCKILY MY KIDS WERE NOT IN THE CAR AND I NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON SO I CAN SLOW BY LETTING OFF THE GAS THEN ONCE SLOW ENOUGH USE THE GRINDING BRAKES TO PULL OVER. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN TODAY AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY NO NOTHING OF THIS PROBLEM. EVEN WANTED TO CHARGE US $150 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY SAID THAT EVEN IF THERE WERE A RECALL IT WOULD NOT COVER AFTER THE VEHICLE REACHES 75,000 MILES. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH IT. A RECALL SHOULD COVER THE VEHICLE AT ANY POINT IN ITS USE. THE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO BRAKE WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED A LOUD, ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE BRAKE PADS WHERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I HAVE LOST BRAKING ABILITY SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THIS SYMPTOM HAPPENS. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD, BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND THERE IS GRINDING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END TOWARD THE WHEELS. SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE SPRING ACTIVATED. VEHICLE BRAKING ABILITY IS REDUCED TO 10% OR LESS. TURNING IGNITION OFF/ON RESOLVES FOR SHORT TIME, BUT NOT A PERMANENT FIX. *TR

AT 28,000 MILES WE WERE IN OUR ARMADA DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD, I WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN, USED MY BRAKES, AND THEY WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR, EVENTUALLY BRAKING BUT THERE WAS A DELAY OF TWO SECONDS OR MORE. A MAJOR GRINDING NOISE ALSO SOUNDED OFF. ALL THE BRAKE LIGHTS, SLIP, ETC CAME ON. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THIS WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT SINCE THE BRAKES WEREN'T STOPPING PROPERLY. THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED AGAIN AT 95K MILES. I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME THIS TIME!!!! I DROVE STRAIGHT TO PEPBOYS,(WHICH WAS CLOSEST TO ME). THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE GETTING A BRAKE BOOSTER ERROR! I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY COULD DO. [XXX] OPENED CASE NUMBER [XXX]. SHE STATED I HAD TO TAKE SUV IN TO DEALERSHIP. NISSAN CONFIRMED IT WAS A BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE AGAIN! NISSAN STATED THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE I'M OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS ISN'T A MILEAGE OR WARRANTY ISSUE!! NISSAN ALREADY MADE THEIR DECISION NOT TO COVER THE COST OF THE FAULTY PART BECAUSE IT WAS REPLACED AT 28K MILES. BUT THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDS REPLACEMENT. DOESN'T ANYONE SEE THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE?? I AM ASKING FOR NISSAN TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY BUT THEY WON'T. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING IN BOTH CIRCUMSTANCES BECAUSE AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED AND NISSAN WON'T EVEN TAKE OWNERSHIP AND MAKE THIS ISSUE CORRECT?? IT'S NOT THE MONEY THAT'S AT STAKE, IT'S A FAULTY PART AND MY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH HE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE. THE CONTACT WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY CRASHING INTO A CURB. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC STATED THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE WOULD HAVE TO BE UPDATED AND THE BRAKE MODULE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHILE DRIVING HAD 3 LIGHTS COME ON BRAKE, VDC OFF, AND SLIP. AFTER PARKING I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTARTED THIS CLEARED THE LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3X IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS. *TR

2006 NISSAN ARMADA LOST BRAKING ABILITY 2 TIMES WHEN THIS SYMPTOM HAPPENS. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD, BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND THERE IS GRINDING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END TOWARD THE WHEELS. VEHICLE BRAKING ABILITY IS REDUCED TO 10% OR LESS. TURNING IGNITION OFF/ON RESOLVES FOR SHORT TIME, BUT NOT A PERMANENT FIX. NISSAN HAS TSB NTB06-040, BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE FOR REPROGRAMMING THE VDC CONTROL UNIT. *TR

WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES AT 40(MPH),BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND MAKE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND, ALSO THE CAR WILL NOT STOP. NEARLY GOT IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THERE WERE SEVERAL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE INDICATORS CONSISTED OF THE VDC, ENGINE AND TIRE PRESSURE. THE OTHER INCLUDED INDICATOR WAS THE SLIP WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

MY WIFE HAS EXPERIENCED OUR NISSAN 06 ARMADA LOSING BRAKING POWER. IT FIRST STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A BRAKE ISSUE. HAVE HAD IT TO A BRAKE SHOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE THIS WEEK. I THEN WENT ON A NISSAN FORUM AND OTHER INTERNET SITES TO SEE THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH NISSAN ARMADA BRAKE/ABS ISSUES. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR US AS AN OWNER AND SHOULD BE TO ANYONE READING THIS POST. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE BRAKING AND IT COMES OUT OF NOW WHERE..I WAS ON A FLAT SURFACE HEADING TO A RED LIGHT... THE ABS KICKED IN AND THE BRAKING POWER WENT TO ABOUT 30 %. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ONLY ENGAGED ABOUT 1/3 OF THE DISTANCE AND GRINDING STARTED AND CONTINUE TILL I CAME TO A STOP I HAD TO MANUALLY SHIFT DOWN IN ORDER TO STOP AT THE RED LIGHT. I SET MY FLASHERS,TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND GOT OUT.. DIDN'T SEE OR SENSE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY OTHER THAN I HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER AND BRAKES WERE GRINDING..TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE BRAKES WORKED FINE. I KNOW THE PADS AND ROTORS ARE GOOD, JUST HAD THEM CHECKED ON MY STATE INSPECTION. THIS IS ALARMING BECAUSE THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE DRIVERS OUR KIDS AROUND IN IT... SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO KEEP THIS INCIDENT FROM BECOMING SOMETHING MUCH WORSE... I SENSE IT IS A SENSOR ISSUE OR SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT BECAUSE IT COMES OUT OF NO WHERE WHILE BRAKING. *

BRAKES ARE MAKING A NOISE AND THE ABS, VDC AND SLIP LIGHTS ARE COMING UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WE HAVE TRIED TURNING ON AND OFF VEHICLE. THIS MADE THE LIGHTS GO OFF AT FIRST. WE HAVE CHECKED BRAKE FLUID. WE HAVE HAD THE BRAKES INSPECTED. NO VISIBLE REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS MY VEHICLE NOT COVERED IN THE NTB06-040 RECALL? *TR

DURING NORMAL DRIVING BRAKE LIGHT SUDDENLY COMES ON. BRAKING POWER IS SEVERELY REDUCED AND THERE IS A LOUD MECHANICAL NOISE. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF THE FAULT RESETS ITSELF AND DISAPPEARS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR. THIS IS UNPREDICTABLE AND COULD EASILY CAUSE A CRASH IF IT HAPPENED AT THE WRONG TIME. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. PURCHASED 2006 ARMADA LESS THAN 20 DAYS AGO,. SINCE THE 2ND WEEK THE BRAKES WILL MAKE A SCARY NOISE (CAN'T REALLY DESCRIBE IT - GRINDING), THE BRAKES WORK AT ABOUT 10% AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT, THE NOISE DISAPPEARS AND THE BRAKES WORK AT 100% ONCE AGAIN. I RECENTLY GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND SEE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAN BELIEVE THAT NISSAN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

AS I AM DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA, MY BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON MY DASHBOARD AND I LOOSE BRAKING POWER. CLUNKING/SPRINGING NOISES SIMULTANEOUSLY BEGIN. IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND ON, THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS. THERE IS NO COMMON FACTOR AS TO WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE WAS REPROGRAMMED - A REPAIR NISSAN INDICATED WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. YET, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR AND NISSAN IS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM TO DATE. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS QUITE COMMON FOR OWNERS OF 2006 NISSAN ARMADAS, GIVE OR TAKE A FEW YEARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH AFTER ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND AFTER DOWN SHIFTING AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

I BOUGHT THIS 2006 NISSAN ARMADA BRAND NEW. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY. THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON AND A GRIDING NOISE COMES OUT WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID IT SOFWARE ISSUE WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE AND IT WORKED FOR COUPLE OF YEARS THEN AGAIN AND AGAIN, I SPEND ABOUT $160 EACH TIME TO CORRECT THE SOFTWARE NOW. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT NEEDS SOME PARTS AND SOFTWHERE UPGRADE ABOUT $750, SO I PARKED THE CAR AND I'M LOOKING FOR OTHER ALTERNATIVES. ANY ONE KNOW OF A RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. *JS

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. EVERY 3-6 MONTHS THE BRAKES WILL MAKE A SCARY NOISE (CAN'T REALLY DESCRIBE IT - GRINDING/CLANKING), THE BRAKES WORK AT ABOUT 10% AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT, THE NOISE DISAPPEARS AND THE BRAKES WORK AT 100% ONCE AGAIN. SO FAR IT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN A SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY. IF IT DOES, THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH. I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED ABOUT THIS ONE "SAME" PROBLEM AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT MORE THE CONSUMERS CAN DO, BUT I WILL BE CONTACTING NISSAN AND OTHERS TO SEE WHAT MORE CAN BE DONE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND I GO TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND MY BRAKES MADE SHUTTERING AND CLANGING NOISES. THEN I NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO STOP I HEARD THAT NOISE AND HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING I ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS ABOUT 20 MILES FROM THE DEALER SO I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHT ON AND DROVE ON THE FAR LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE BETWEEN 10 TO 30 MILES/HR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC UNTIL I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE I GOT TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM. HE SEEMED TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE HE HAD EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER CALLED ME TO EXPLAIN THAT THE DELTA SENSOR INSIDE THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED AND IT WOULD COST ME OVER $900.00. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE MIDDLE SEAT BELT OF THE SECOND ROW SEAT WAS LOCKED AND WOULD NOT EXTEND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS OR REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING AT STOP AND GO TRAFFIC SPEEDS OF 25 MPH OR LESS, MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A SPONGY FEELING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AS WELL AS A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO SEARS AND THEY DID A BRAKE INSPECTION (MECHANICAL) AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. PAID FOR A BRAKE INSPECTION AND THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE PADS BUT I HAD RECENTLY INSPECTED BRAKES AT ANOTHER SHOP THAT DID NOT RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT. ON 2/28/12, SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, INSPECTED BRAKE FLUID (SAT) AND STARTED THE ENGINE BACK UP WITH NO SIGNS OF FAILURE. TOOK VEHICLE TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC AND CODE READER FOUND C1179 DELTA STROKE SENSOR FAULT. HE RESET IT AND PROBLEM HAS SINCE GONE AWAY BUT I AM WEARY OF BRAKE RELIABILITY IN THE FUTURE. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 2006 ARMADA HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES WHERE THE BRAEK LIGHT COMES ON, THERE IS A TERRIBLE GRINDING SOUND, & I LOSE ABOUT 75% OF MY BRAKE FUNCTION. I ONLY PURCHASED THIS TRUCK ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO & IT HAS HAPPENED 3X. NO TELLING HOW MANY TIMES IT HAPPENED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NISSAN FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THIS IS HAPPENING EVEN THOUGH A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WILL SHOW 100S, IF NOT 1000S OF ARMADA OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE ASAP!! THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T "RECREATE" THE PROBLEM TO FIX IT, BUT IT'S LIKELY IF THEY COULD, THEN THEY'D HAVE TO ADMIT WHAT WAS WRONG & THAT IT IS NISSAN'S FAULT. BEWARE!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING @ APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AND SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I NOTICED THAT MY PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH EVEN THOUGH I DON'T HAVE IT ON. WHEN I TRIED TO STEP ON THE BRAKE TO STOP, A GRINDING NOISE WAS OBSERVED COMING FROM MY TIRES AND THE VEHICLE SHAKING AS IF MY BRAKES LOCKED ON MY TIRES. SAME THING HAPPENED AFTER I MADE A LEFT TURN AND STOPPED ON A 4- WAY STOP. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING THERE WERE FUMES SEEN BEING RELEASED FROM THE VEHICLE INCLUDING AN ABNORMAL FUEL SMELL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TANK ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL LINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE THE FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO REPAIRS THAT WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE ONE YEAR PRIOR TO THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WITH THE HEATER ACTIVATED WHEN A FLUCTUATION OF COLD AIR EMITTED THROUGHOUT THE VENTS. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. ON ONE OCCASION WHILE STARTING THE IGNITION, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEEDLE BECAME STUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE HEATER COIL VALVE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED DUE TO THE UNAVAILABILITY OF THE PART. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT PRODUCED THE PART FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE DEALERS. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED NUMEROUS DEALERS AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN LOCATING THE PART. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING, THE FOLLOWING INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON: VDC, ABS AND BRAKE. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, THERE WAS A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE WHICH SCARED ME TO DEATH. I CONTINUED ON CAUTIOUSLY AND FORTUNATELY IT DID NOT MAKE THE SAME SOUND THE NEXT TIME I BRAKED. THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS A SENSOR THAT WENT BAD AND THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM THAT POSSIBLY WAS BAD. I PAID OVER $500 TO GET IT FIXED AND HAD TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT THAT WHAT THEY DID MAY NOT FIX IT, AND IF SO, THE BRAKE BOOSTER WOULD THEN NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1000. I FOUND OUT AFTERWARDS THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL OF THE VERY SAME ISSUE BUT NOT ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VIN DID NOT MATCH THE RECALL. VERY SUSPECT. *TR

WHILE CROSSING A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY, I ALMOST GOT TO THE STREET ON THE OTHER SIDE WHEN ANOTHER CAR CRASHED INTO THE FRONT END OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. I NEVER SAW THE CAR WHEN I PULLED OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AND I HAD EVEN BEEN VERY CAUTIOUS TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CLEAR. I JUST FELT A HORRIBLE IMPACT, AND WE BOTH LANDED INTO THE STREET OF MY DESTINATION. THE CAR WAS IN MY BLIND SPOT. THERE ARE TWO DANGEROUS AND DEADLY BLIND SPOTS ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD ON EITHER SIDE. THE DIVIDERS OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND SIDE DOOR WINDOWS ARE EXTREMELY WIDE AND IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE SIDEVIEW MIRRORS ARE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS THE BLIND SPOT FURTHER BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VISION. NOT ONLY DOES THE DRIVER NOT SEE OTHER VEHICLES, THE DRIVER ALSO DOES NOT SEE PEOPLE AND CHILDREN. I HAVE HAD A JOGGER IN MY BLIND SPOT, AND IT SCARED ME TO DEATH. OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW WHO HAVE NISSAN ARMADAS HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT ALMOST RUNNING OVER PEOPLE AND CHILDREN. I AM NOW PROCEEDING WITH TRADING IN THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS VEHICLE. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT AN INVESTIGATION WILL RESULT IN SOME TYPE OF CORRECTION TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE APPROACHING A TRAFFIC STOP BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

I WAS OPERATING MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA AND WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. I TESTED THE BRAKES AND IMMEDIATELY HEARD A GRINDING AND POPPING NOISE AND NOISES THAT INDICATED TO ME THAT THE ABS WAS ACTIVATING OFF AND ON. THE PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND MY BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS WAS SEVERELY DIMINISHED. HAD I NEEDED TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP OR BEEN EXPECTING MY BRAKES TO REACT NORMALLY, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IN A SAFE DISTANCE. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND VISUALLY INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND FOUND NO ISSUES. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND SAW THAT IT WAS FINE (JUST BELOW THE MAX MARK AND WELL ABOVE THE MIN). BY THIS TIME MY BRAKE LIGHT, VDC OFF, AND SLIP LIGHT WERE ALL ILLUMINATED. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF THEN RESTARTED IT. THE THREE LIGHTS WERE STILL LIT, BUT THE BRAKES WERE REACTING NORMALLY. ERROR CODE C1179 WAS PULLED FROM THE VDC MODULE. EVENTUALLY, THE BRAKE BOOSTER (WITH THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR) AND THE PRESSURE SENSORS WERE REPLACED BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AT MY EXPENSE. I ALSO FOUND THAT MANY CONSUMERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR BRAKING ISSUES ON CONSUMERAFFARIS.COM. NISSAN ARMADA FORUMS DESCRIBE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH BRAKE FAILURES AND WARNING LIGHTS. MANY TAKE THEIR CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT A PROBLEM CANNOT BE FOUND. THE FOLLOWING LINK DISPLAYS OVER 25 PAGES OF FORUMS RELATED TO THIS ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN ARMADA: HTTP://WWW.CLUBARMADA.COM/FORUMS/GTSEARCH.PHP?CX=PARTNER-PUB-7865546952023728%3AO3K

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA LE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED REPLACING. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED HAVING THE BRAKE BOOSTER FROM A LATER MODEL INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

DRIVING OUR NISSAN ARMADA AT APPRX 15MPH AND WENT OVER A TREE BRANCH THAT COULD NOT BE AVOIDED THAT HAD FALLEN, WITH NO INJURY TO OUR VEHICLE BUT CAUSED A LARGE LEAK IN THE GAS TANK. NOW THE PUNCTURED GAS TANK HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE RISK OF THIS LARGE PUNCTURE IN THE TANK FROM SUCH A MINOR IMPACT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN EXPLOSION OF THE VEHICLE. FUEL TANKS SHOULD NOT BE MADE IN A MANNER THAT THEY ARE SO VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE BECAUSE IT IS A HAZARD. *TT

I BOUGHT MY NISSAN ARMADA BRAND NEW IN 2007. IT IS A 2006 MODEL. THE VEHICLE IS VERY STYLISH BUT IT IS LIKE A DEATH TRAP. WHEN THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY RAN OUT @ 36,000 MILES, MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE. EVERY YEAR I HAVE HAD TO GET BRAKES PUT ON THE ARMADA AND IT HAS TO BE NISSAN BRAKES BECAUSE I TRIED OTHER BRAKES AND THEY SQUEAL AND GRIND. NOW I HAVE AN RATHER SCARY SITUATION. I WAS DRIVING 25MPH AND PUT MY BRAKES ON AND MY SUV STARTED NOSE DIVING IN THE FRONT END AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, NOT TO MENTION, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WAS CATCHING AND RELEASING ABOUT 4 TIMES, EACH TIME I WOULD BRAKE. I ALMOST HIT A CAR. I DROVE IT TO A MECHANIC RIGHT THEN, AND THEY RAN SCAN ON THE BRAKE CODE SINCE THE LIGHT CAME ON DURING THIS EVENT. THE CODE IS C1179. APPARENTLY THIS IS A DEALER ISSUE. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE ARMADA FROM AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE ABS SYSTEM. REALLY? THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE? I HAVE READ SEVERAL REVIEWS AND THEY ARE ARE HAVING ABS ISSUES. COME ON NISSAN, HOW MANY LIVES HAVE TO BE LOST OR INJURED BEFORE YOU RECALL THIS ABS PROBLEM? WHY WOULD THEY CHARGE CONSUMERS $120 FOR A COMPUTER UPDATE TO THE SYSTEM IF IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT... THE OTHER ISSUES ARE: DRIVERS SIDE SEAT IS RIPPING, POOR MATERIAL, THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR MAT IS SLIDING UNDER THE DRIVER PEDAL, THE BLIND SPOT IS A SEVERE ISSUE ON THE LEFT DRIVERS SIDE, PAINT CHIPS EASILY, BAD GAS MILEAGE, RADIATOR LEAKS, STRUT IS B
