2008 Nissan Armada complaints

LAST NIGHT READY TO LEAVE AND LOAD FAMILY INTO VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND OPENS THE BACK DOOR TO LOAD A STROLLER BUT THE DOOR DID NOT OPEN. HE KEPT LOCKING IT AND UNLOCKING WITH THE CONTROL AND DOOR HINGE AND WINDOW HINGE WERE STUCK. IN ORDER TO OPEN DOOR HE HAD TO CLIMB INSIDE VEHICLE PULL THE PLASTIC CAP OF AND PULL LEVER TO MANUALLY OPEN BACK DOOR. WE CAN HEAR IT LOCK BUT IT WONT OPEN. THE LEVELS FEEL ROUGH AND STUCK WHEN YOU PULL TO TRY AND OPEN DOOR AND WINDOW. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING FELL ON THE ROOF OF MY TRUCK. MY CHILD POINTED TO THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE. IT HAD BROKEN OFF OF WHATEVER WAS SECURING IT AND IS NOW HANGING. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS. AN OVERHEAD CONSOLE THAT CAN FALL AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING IS DANGEROUS. MY CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. *TR

I HAVE 109,000+ MILES ON MY 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED MY REAR WINDOW HAD CLOUDED AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS I SAW MY RPMS REV TO OVER 4000. I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL TO PREVENT IT FROM TRYING TO MAINTAIN MY SPEED OF 70 MPH. AT THAT POINT I LOST THE DRIVE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF AN EXIT WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. ONCE STOPPED I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ENGAGE ENOUGH FOR ME TO DRIVE IT INTO A SERVICE STATION PARKING LOT; IT DID. I LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL TO THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. I FOUND FLUID ACCUMULATED IN THE FRONT SKID PAN. BEING OUT OF WARRANTY I CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST COMPANY TO DISCUSS. NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME THEY KNOW OF NO PROBLEMS NISSAN IS HAVING LIKE THIS, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, OIL COOLER, AND RADIATOR.... APPROXIMATELY $7,000.00+. THE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST I CALLED IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE AS SOON AS I MENTIONED I LOST DRIVE POWER. HE TOLD ME I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER CRACKING ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING DAMAGE THE TWO NISSAN ARMADAS HE HAD RECENTLY REPAIRED. HE TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH NISSAN BEFORE DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE NISSAN HAD TO EXTEND TRANSMISSION WARRANTIES ON SEVERAL MODELS. THEY USE THE VIN # FOR LEGIBILITY. I CONTACTED NISSAN (1-800-NISSA

THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT ADJUSTER MOTOR CAUGHT THE UNDER SIDE OF THE SEAT ON FIRE WHILE NO ONE TOUCHED THE SEAT ADJUSTER. FOR SOME REASON THE ADJUSTER MOTOR HEATED UP AND WHEN MY WIFE, CHILD, AND MOTHER HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE INTERSTATE DUE TO SMOKE, I WAS LUCKILY BEHIND THEM AND GOT THE FAMILY OUT OF THE CAR AND THEN LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT AND SAW 3 INCH FLAMES COMING OUT OF ONE OF THE ADJUSTER MOTORS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE MOTOR OUT FROM UNDER THE SEAT AFTER I POURED A WATER BOTTLE OVER THE MOTOR AND USED TWO PAIRS OF GLOVES TO KEEP FROM BURNING MY HANDS. FROM LOOKING AT THE ADJUSTER MOTOR AFTER PULLED FROM THE VEHICLE ONE END WAS COMPLETELY GONE AS IT MELTED AND BURNED OFF THE PLASTIC COVER. IT ALSO BURNED A COUPLE OF HOLES IN THE CARPET UNDER THE SEAT. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A MOTOR WOULD JUST CATCH ON FIRE AND AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO RANDY REED NISSAN, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THE SEAT ADJUSTER WAS STUCK IN THE "ON" POSITION. THE QUESTION I HAVE IS HOW CAN IT STICK IN THE ON POSITION WHEN WE ARE NOT TOUCHING THE SEAT ADJUSTERS. LASTLY, SINCE MY WIFE STATED SHE SMELLED A BURNT SMELL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE OFF POSITION, WHAT IF THE ADJUSTER CAUGHT FIRE WHILE IN THE GARAGE AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BURN AND CATCHING THE HOUSE ON FIRE. I SAY THIS BECAUSE THE ADJUSTOR WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HAVING THE VEHICLE ON. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY SWITCH TO KEEP SOMETHING LIKE THAT FROM HAPPENING. IT ALSO CAUSED $3,

THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL DOWN WITHOUT WARNING GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH. *TR

I PURCHASED THE 2008 NISSAN ARMADA BRAND NEW. AROUND MID SUMMER OF 2011 I NOTICED SMALL GAPS IN MY OVERHEAD REAR OEM CONSOLE. I CAME OUT FROM WORK STILL DURING THIS SAME TIME FRAME AND NOTICED THAT MY ENTIRE OVERHEAD REAR OEM CONSOLE HAD FALLEN. IT WAS ONLY HANGING BY A FRONT SCREW AND A REAR SCREW. I WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN TOWN ONLY TO BE TOLD LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE HAD BEEN HANGING ON IT AND PULLED IT DOWN. THE NISSAN MECHANICS UNPLUGGED AND UNHOOKED EVERYTHING CONNECTED TO THE CONSOLE AND TOOK IT DOWN. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AND EXPLAINED THAT THEY HAD USED SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS. NISSAN TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. I CALLED MY INSURANCE AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. MY INSURANCE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD RESEARCH IT TO SEE IF ANY OTHER ARMADA OWNERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THEY CLAIMED NOT TO BE ABLE TO FIND ANY. A FEW WEEKS LATER I STARTED NOTICING CRACKS IN THE FRONT OVERHEAD CONSOLE. IT ALSO FELL WITHIN A FEW DAYS. WHEN THE REAR CONSOLE FELL I PRICED THE PART AND IT WAS OVER $900. I DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER PRICING THE FRONT. I DID IN TURN DO RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND AN ENTIRE SITE DEDICATED TO 2008 AND OTHER ARMADA OWNERS THAT EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS WHEN CONSTRUCTING THEIR VEHICLES. THE PAINT ON THE HOOD IS ALSO STARTING TO WEAR AWAY ON THE HOOD. AFTER PAYING MY HARD EARNED MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE I THINK NISSAN SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A VEHICLE THAT WASN'T GOING TO CRASH IN AROUND

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE VIBRATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS DELAYED AND FELT AS IF IT WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED, WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,250 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,475.

WHEN ENTERING INTO THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED THE FRONT PORTION OF THE CENTER OVERHEAD CONSOLE WAS SAGGING. WE OPENED THE FIRST COMPARTMENT AND THE PIECE IN WHICH THE SCREW IS PLACED INTO TO CONNECT THE CONSOLE TO THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE CRACKED OFF AND HAD FALLEN OFF CAUSING THE CONSOLE TO LONGER BE CONNECTED. HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE OF MY VEHICLE WAS HANGING FROM THE CEILING. MY CAR WAS PARKED AS IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS AT WORK. I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD BROKEN INTO MY CAR SINCE THERE WAS BROKEN PLASTIC EVERYWHERE. THE FRONT HALF OF THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE WAS HANGING. I WAS ABLE TO DISCONNECT THE WIRES SO THAT I COULD DRIVE IT HOME. I ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PART FROM THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND IT CAME IN A WEEK LATER. WE TIGHTENED THE BACK PART OF THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE BECAUSE AFTER LOOKING IT OVER WE NOTICED THAT IT WAS ALSO LOOSE AND CRACKING. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE BACK PART WILL ALSO BREAK OFF AND FALL. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE NISSAN TO ILLINOIS FROM OHIO AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND SHE PROCEEDED TO HIT THE BRAKES WHICH WERE NOT THERE THE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND MADE A GRINDING SOUND AS IF THE BRAKE LINES WERE CUT. SHE CALLS ME IN A PANIC AND I TELL HER HOW TO DOWN SHIFT THE CAR. SHE FINALLY GETS IT TO A STOP AND TURNS OFF THE VEHICLE AND WHEN SHE GOES TO START IT AGAIN THE BRAKES ARE COMPLETELY BACK WITH OUT ANY MALFUNCTION. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO HER DESTINATION WERE SHE TOOK IT TO COURTESY NISSAN IN MOLINE ILL. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING GRINDING CAUSING ABS SENSOR TO THINK WHEEL SPEED WAS DIFFERENT, WHICH THEY REPLACED RIGHT FRONT HUB AND SENSOR AND SENT HER ON HER WAY WITH $829.16 BILL. THAT WAS JULY 25, 2012 SHE DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR A DAY ON JULY 27, 2012 SHE WAS GOING DOWN A HILL WHEN THE BRAKES DECIDED TO FAIL AGAIN SHE DOWN SHIFTED AND CAME TO REST AGAINST A ATM TO STOP FROM GOING INTO BUSY TRAFFIC. SHE DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE THE BRAKES WERE STILL IN FAIL MODE WHERE THEY PROMPTLY PLUGGED IT INTO THE COMPUTER AND THE SCAN SHOWED CODE C1179 DELTA SENSOR, THEY SAID THEY PERFORMED TEST TO DETERMINE INTERNAL ABS CONTROLLER FAILURE AND THEN REPLACED ABS CONTROLLER AT A VERY STEEP PRICE. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE NISSAN HOME WITH MY FAMILY INSIDE BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEN ON JUNE 14, 2012THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN WHEN WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN OF MANSFIELD MMG

AFTER GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP, MY SON NOTICED THE CEILING CENTER CONSOLE COMING LOOSE. AFTER PARKING THE CAR, THE CONSOLE FELL. LUCKILY MY SON CAUGHT IT, HAD HE NOT NOTICED IT WAS LOOSE THE CONSOLE WOULD'VE FELL IN HIS HEAD. *TR.... UPDATED 02/19/15 *BF

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE STORE, MY FAMILY AND I RETURNED TO THE ARMADA AND FOUND THE FRONT CONSOLE HAD FELL FROM CEILING OF VEHICLE.. IF YOU LOOK YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF THESE CONSOLES FALLING OUT OF THE CEILING. I DO NOT KNOW WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS A DEFECT WITH WHERE THE SCREWS GO IN TO HOLD THIS UP. THE PLASTIC JUST CRUMBLES AROUND IT. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I CHECKED THE REAR ONE TO INSPECT THE CONDITION IT IS IN. THE RIGID PLASTIC IS CRACKED AROUND THEM TOO. ANY DAY NOW I AM WAITING FOR THIS ONE TO FALL OUT AS WELL. THESE CONSOLES FALLING COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT WILL DEFINITELY HIT THE DRIVER IN THE HEAD AND CAUSE A DISTRACTION. WE WILL CHECK TO SEE IF ANY CLASS ACTION SUITS HAVE STARTED OR CAN BE STARTED. *TR

I WAS APPROACHING INTERSECTION WHEN MY BRAKES FAILED AND MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VERY BAD AND MADE VERY LOUD NOISES. I THEN NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. I THEN PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND INSPECTED BRAKE SYSTEM. WHEN I PRECEDED TO TURN VEHICLE BACK ON I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF. THE BRAKES WERE FINE AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NOTICED THOUSANDS OF OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE AND THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONSOLE IN THE CEILING OF THE VEHICLE BECAME DETACHED, STRIKING THE CONTACT IN THE CRANIUM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE CONSOLE WOULD HAVE TO BE RE-ATTACHED BUT NO CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE WAS DETERMINED. ONE WEEK LATER, THE REAR CEILING CONSOLE BECAME DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

FOR THE LAST YEAR MY NISSAN ARMADA 2008 HAS HAD NUMEROUS FAILING PARTS THAT ALL INCLUDE ELECTRICAL ISSUES OF SOME SORT. FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND THEN THE AC IS NOW STUCK IN MAX AC. THIEVES ISSUES ARE NOT SAFETY RELATED BUT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE HORRIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES THIS MODEL HAS. THE OTHER DAY MY WIFE WAS PICKING THE KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL WHEN SHE REALIZED THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES WERE MAKING A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE WITH NO OR LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY. SHE PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. 5 MINUTES LATER SHE TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE LIGHT AND BRAKING PROBLEM WENT AWAY. 3 DAYS LATER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. TURNED OFF CAR, RESTARTED AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. AFTER LOOKING THROUGH NUMEROUS MESSAGE BOARDS AND FORUMS, IT SEEMS THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN HUNDREDS OF CASES OR MORE. NISSAN HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND. IT SEEMS A FIX OR AT LEAST A FIX THAT COMES BACK IN MANY CASES IS TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND REPROGRAM THE VDC. THIS LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN RUNNING ABOUT 800 TO 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX. MANY OF THE CONSUMERS THAT REPORTED THIS PROBLEM HAVE REPORTED AFTER BEING FIXED, THE PROBLEM COMES BACK WITHIN MONTHS OR A YEAR AFTER BEING FIXED. A RECALL IS NEEDED AS THIS IS LIFE THREATENING TO FAMILIES DRIVING IN THE SUV AND ALSO TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2008 NISSAN ARMADA LE (48000MILES) WITH TOW PACKAGE AND HOOKED UP TO MY SMALL ENCLOSED TRAILER (1800 GWR). I WENT INTO MY HOUSE FOR LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AND WHEN I RETURNED TO THE TRUCK I SAW IT WAS COMPLETELY BOTTOMED OUT IN THE REAR. I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE COMPRESSOR CAME ON AND AUTO LEVELED OUT, BUT WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING IT WAS COMPLETELY FLAT AND CAUSED SEVERE HANDLING ISSUES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I SAW THAT THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON AND NISSAN HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT BUT WILL NOT RECALL THERE FAULTY AIR LINES THAT RUN FROM THE COMPRESSOR TO THE REAR AIR BAGS. PEOPLE ALL OVER HAVE BEEN SHOCKED AT NISSAN'S FAILURE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND NOT FINDING A PERMANENT FIX. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WITH BRAND NEW MODELS CLAIM THE HAVE HAD THE WHOLE SYSTEM REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE LEAK STILL RE-OCCURS LEADING TO THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THIS IS WHAT THE LEMON LAWS WERE WRITTEN FOR SO I HOPE SOMEONE PURSUED IT. I HOPE WRITING THIS HELPS ALL OWNERS GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED AND I URGE ANYONE THAT OWNS A NISSAN ARMADA TO LOOK AND LISTEN FOR THE COMPRESSOR RUNNING. IT'S NOT TOO OBVIOUS OF A PROBLEM UNTIL YOU ATTEMPT TO TOW BUT YOU WILL SEE THE REAR SAGGING AND THE COMPRESSOR TURNING ON FREQUENTLY. FOR MORE INFO RESEARCH IT HERE HTTP://WWW.CLUBARMADA.COM/FORUMS/SHOW THREAD.PHP?T=12815 AND THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR NISSAN IS NTB10142. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, HE NOTICED A THUMPING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WELDING SEPARATED AND AS A RESULT, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10E019000 (SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,398.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE CRACKED AND FELL ON THE PASSENGER.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

FOR UNKNOWN REASONS THE FRONT WINDOWS (DRIVER AND PASSENGER) WILL LET THEMSELVES DOWN. HAVE ASKED NISSAN DEALER ABOUT THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAID WE MUST HAVE HIT THE REMOTE KEY. I DON'T BUY THIS AS THIS OCCURRED WHILE KEYS TO THE VEHICLE WAS IN SPOUSES PURSE AND PURSE WAS ON FLOOR SOME 50 YARDS AWAY. THIS IS NOT FIRST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND WE HAVE INQUIRED AT DEALER AND ALWAYS GET SAME ANSWER-SOMEONE HIT THE KEY. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO LOCK UP AND YOU CAN'T START THE AUTO UNLESS YOU WORK WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TURNING FROM 9 TO 3, 3 TO 9, 9 TO 3, 3 TO 9. EVENTUALLY IT WILL FREE ITSELF UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OVER HEAD CONSOLE STORAGE COMPARTMENTS STARTED TO FRACTURE. THE CONSOLES IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE ALSO STARTED TO FALL.

AS I WAS DRIVING, THE ENTIRE MOLDING AROUND THE DVD PLAYER, BACKSEAT AIR CONTROLS, AND LIGHT FIXTURES CAME CRASHING DOWN. PIECES OF THE MOLDING FLEW EVERYWHERE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUT THE ROAD I CROSSED A RAILROAD TRACK DOING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. THE REAR ROOF CONSOLE CAME CRASHING DOWN AND HIT MY WIFE IN THE HEAD AND BROKE IN HALF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE RAILROAD ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. HOWEVER, IF YOU LOOK YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF THESE CONSOLES FALLING OUT OF THE CEILING. AFTER CONTACTING MY ATTORNEY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HE TOLD ME TO SEND IN A COMPLAINT AND SEE IF THAT HELPS. I DO NOT KNOW WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF MY WIFE HAD NOT BEEN IN THE BACK SEAT WITH MY GRANDCHILD IT WOULD HAVE HIT HER OR MY GREAT NIECE IN THE HEAD. THERE IS A DEFECT WITH WHERE THE SCREWS GO IN TO HOLD THIS UP. THE PLASTIC JUST CRUMBLES AROUND IT. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I CHECKED THE FRONT ONE TO INSPECT THE CONDITION IT IS IN. WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW, THE FRIGGIN PLASTIC IS CRACKED AROUND THEM TOO. ANY DAY NOW I AM WAITING FOR THIS ONE TO FALL OUT AS WELL. WHEN IT GOES, IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT WILL DEFINITELY HIT THE DRIVER IN THE HEAD AND CAUSE A DISTRACTION. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE BACK WITHIN A FEW DAYS. *TR

OVERHEAD CONSOLE AT THE FRONT (SUNGLASSES HOLDER) FELL FROM CONSOLE. THE CLIPS BROKE AND IT FELL WHILE DRIVING. (APPROXIMATELY OCTOBER 2011). WE FIXED THE PROBLEM ON OUR OWN. ABOUT THE SAME TIME, THE REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE CAME LOOSE, AND WAS PARTLY HANGING FROM THE CEILING. THE CLIPS WERE BROKEN, AND WE USED BOLTS TO HOLD IT BACK IN PLACE, BUT SUMMER 2012, THE REAR CONSOLE COMPARTMENT FELL WHILE DRIVING AND HIT OUR SON. HE WAS UNINJURED, BUT HE WASN'T SITTING DIRECTLY UNDER IT, WHERE HE COULD HAVE CAUSED MINOR INJURIES. CANNOT FIND A REPLACEMENT PART WITHOUT GOING THROUGH NISSAN AND PAYING $1,000+. *TR

8/22/12 WHILE DRIVING IN DAYTIME NORMAL CONDITIONS WAS STOPPED AT A RED-LIGHT, TURNED RIGHT ONTO A VERY BUSY 4 LANE DIVIDED ROAD, BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON AND BRAKES MADE A GRINDING/SPRING POPPING KIND OF SOUND AND "GRABBED" OR STOPPED JERKILY WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN TO SLOW TO A STOP AT THE NEXT RED-LIGHT. TOOK EXTRA DISTANCE TO STOP DUE TO DECREASED BRAKE POWER/STRENGTH, LUCKILY I WAS THE FIRST CAR IN LINE AT THE RED-LIGHT. TURNED OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A PARKING LOT WITH BRAKES CONTINUING AS NOTED ABOVE, SAT IN PARKING LOT UNTIL MY FATHER IN LAW ARRIVED. I TURNED ENGINE OFF TO TAKE MY CAR KEY OFF MY KEYRING SO MY F-I-L COULD DRIVE MY CAR HOME OR TO THE SHOP, THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF THEN AND THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY. HAD VEHICLE CHECKED WITH CODE-READER WHICH DIDN'T READ ANY ERRORS, HUSBAND CHANGED BRAKE PADS AND ENSURED FLUIDS WERE AT APPROPRIATE LEVELS, BRAKES CONTINUED TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. 9/10/12 DRIVING IN NORMAL DAYTIME CONDITIONS, STOPPED AT RED-LIGHT ON EXTREMELY BUSY 6 LANE ROAD, TURNED LEFT ONTO ANOTHER STREET, EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED ABOVE, VIDEOED ISSUE WITH IPHONE AS DROVE AROUND EMPTY PARKING LOT. PARKED AND TURNED ENGINE OFF, HUSBAND CAME AND DROVE CAR TO DEALERSHIP, BRAKES FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. ONLINE RESEARCH REVEALED HUNDREDS OF OWNERS WITH THIS COMPLAINT, SOME WITH COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE, IS SAID TO BE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGING FOR NO REASON D/T BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP CHARGED MY HUSBAND $100 TO "DIAGNOSE" PROBLEM, DETERM

MY VEHICLE WAS MAKING A NOISE LIKE IT HAD A HOLE IN THE EXHAUST. COME TO FIND OUT, BOTH OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED. 3000 PAST THE 80000 MILE WARRANTY AND NISSAN WILL NOT COVER IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I SURE WISH THERE COULD BE AN EXTENSION TO THIS WARRANTY AS THERE WAS WITH ANOTHER MANUFACTURER THAT EXTENDED IT TO 100000 MILES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THIS IS A FAILURE TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN CONSUMER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FAILURE WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,826 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,019.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE SENSOR AND THE BRAKE ACTUATOR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHENEVER THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED AND LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN OUT OF GARAGE AT LOW SPEED. SUDDENLY, THERE WAS A CLUNK AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNING SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS. UPON INSPECTION, THE FRONT PASSENGER TIE ROD HAD DIS-ATTACHED ITSELF FROM THE WHEEL, RESULTING IN NO STEERING CONTROL OF THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 25 MPH, SERIOUS/FATAL ACCIDENT AND INJURY WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKELY. THIS IS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION OF THE SYSTEM WITH NO PRIOR WARNING SIGNS. NISSAN DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IS NOT THE RESULT OF ANY OWNER FAULT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 ARMADA AND WHEN I WENT TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND I LOST BRAKE POWER. THERE WAS A HORRIBLE GRINDING SOUND AND THE DASHBOARD BRAKE LIGHT LIT UP. AFTER COASTING INTO A PARKING LOT I SHUT MY CAR OFF. MY HUSBAND CAME AND CHECKED THE CAR AND DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE BRAKES WORKED AGAIN. WE STILL HAVE A WARRANTY AND THE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A PROBLEM. UH...WHEN ME AND MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR AND WE LOSE BRAKE POWER...THAT'S KIND OF A HUGE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING IN ARMADA'S SINCE 2004. PLEASE SOMEONE FIX THIS BECAUSE I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR AND THE IT THE ENTIRE REASON I BOUGHT THE ARMADA. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH DOWN A STREET WHEN MY BRAKES LOST PRESSURE AND BEGAN THE ABS CAVITATION. LUCKILY I WAS STILL ABLE TO STOP HOWEVER I HAD ZERO BRAKE PRESSURE AND ANY AMOUNT OF PEDAL MOVEMENT INITIATED THE ABS PUMP BRAKE ACTION. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN STARTING BACK UP RESOLVED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. I TOOK IT TO STADIUM NISSAN IN THE CITY OF ORANGE WHO SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY BRAKE BOOSTER AT A COST OF $800. I'VE SEEN DOZENS OF REPORTS OF THIS EXACT ISSUE ON CLUBARMADA.COM. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ANY CONSUMER WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THE BRAKE FAILURE OCCURED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 35MPH, IT ACTED LIKE THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED. THIS HAPPENED ON A SATURDAY. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER WE PURCHASED IT FROM THE FOLLOWING MONDAY TO GET AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THE DEALER GOT ME IN THE NEXT DAY AND THE TECH SAID THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR THE DEALER SAID THE PART WAS $700.00 AND LABOR WAS $400.00-500.00 BUT IT WOULD ONLY BE 80 PERCENT FIXED. THE PROBLEM WAS A DEFECTIVE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS SINCE 2004 BUT HAS DONE NOTHING FOR ANYONE WHO OWNS A NISSAN VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER RELATIONS THEY STATED A REPLACEMENT OR FIX FOR THIS SAFETY PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE WAS DECLINED DUE TO EXPIRED WARRANTY. T HE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED BY TIME NOT MILES. THE NISSAN REP SAID IT WAS UNSAFE IF THE BRAKES FAIL ANY TIME THE VEHICLES DRIVEN. THE NISSAN REP SAID BASED SOLELY ON EXPIRED WARRANTY ANY REPAIR SERVICE WOULD BE AT OUR EXPENCE. *TT

THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN BRAKES ARE USED, THERE IS A DECREASED BREAKING POWER. THE BRAKES MAKE A CRUNCHING, SPRINGY NOISE WITH THE PEDAL BEING EXTREMELY SOFT UNTIL IT GETS CLOSER TO THE FLOOR AND BEGINS TO GIVE BRAKING POWER. WHEN IGNITION OS TURNED OFF, THE PROBLEM RESOLVES AT LEAST TEMPORARILY. WHEN THE ENGINE HAS TURNED OFF, I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM REOCCUR AS SOON AS 5 MINUTES AND AS LONG AS 3 MONTHS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND HEARD A GRINDING NOISE. THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE, BUT THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COAST TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS SAFELY DRIVEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. I AM HAVING A ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE BRAKES LOCK AND THERE IS A SCREECHING NOISE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN STORE AND THEY SAID THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. IT COST $120.00 FOR THEM TO TELL ME IT WOULD TAKE $900 TO FIX IT. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2008 NISSAN ARMADA BUT WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE PRIOR. ONCE DURING THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS 2011 AND ANOTHER TIME IN JANUARY. IF I KILL THE CAR AND RE-START IT, IT SEEMS TO BE OK. THOSE TWO TIMES WEREN'T MAJOR BUT THIS LAST TIME WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. WHEN I TALK TO THE NISSAN REP, SHE TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THE CASE WAS CLOSED. I AM FURIOUS WITH NISSAN AND THEIR LACK OF CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY. THIS IS THE THIRD NISSAN I HAVE OWNED AND IT WILL BE THE LAST. I HAD HEARD THAT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE AND NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY. THERE IS A LAWSUIT IN THE WORKS FOR THIS REASON WHICH I AM ABOUT TO JOIN IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE. I JUST WANT MY BREAK BOOSTER FIXED AND FOR NISSAN TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE. THAT IS ALL I AM ASKING. I WANT MY ARMADA TO BE PART OF THE RECALL. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFT-GATE STRUTS FAILED AND CAUSED THE LIFT-GATE TO STRIKE THE CONTACT ABRUPTLY ON THE HEAD, CAUSING INJURY.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,800.

NISSAN ARMADA VEHICLES WITH A FACTORY TOW PACKAGE INCLUDE SELF-LEVELING REAR SUSPENSION. THE SYSTEM IS COMPRISED OF AIR-LEVELED SHOCKS AND AN AIR COMPRESSOR. THE SYSTEM LEAKS, CAUSING THE AIR PRESSURE TO DROP AT SPEED, WITH OR WITHOUT LOADS, AND WHEN PARKED AND TURNED OFF. IT CAUSES THE REAR END TO BE SOFT AND HANDLE POORLY, WHICH, WHEN TOWING, IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, AFTER AN OIL CHANGE SERVICE AND A WARRANTY RELATED BRAKE INSPECTION, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE BRAKES GRABBED AND GRIND AND THERE WAS A VERY LOUD CONTINUAL NOISE AS THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE BRAKES. THE CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY EXITED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE CONSUMER PHONED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO RETURN THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETECT A PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED TO MAKE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT IF HE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM AGAIN, AND ABS SOFTWARE WOULD BE REPROGRAMMED. THE SECOND TIME THE INCIDENT HAPPENED, THE BRAKES STARTED TO GRAB AND GRIND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE CONSUMER PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. HE WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE BRAKES RETURNED TO PROPER WORKING CONDITION. ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WAS MADE WHERE THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE ECM. THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE FOR THE FOURTH TIME AND WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE MAY NEED A BRAKE BOOSTER AND FRONT ROTORS, BECAUSE THEY WERE STARTING TO WARP. *JB

BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AT 35MPH, SEEMS ABS ENGAGED. GRINDING, SHUTTERING, DECREASED BRAKE POWER. TURNED VEHICLE OFF/ON AND BRAKES WERE GOOD. HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND AGAIN AT 50 MPH. BRAKE BOOSTER BAD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY BRAKE LIGHT APPEAR ON MY DASH BOARD. I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT WHEN MY I FOUND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO APPLY THE BRAKE. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND GRINDING COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY 2008 ARMADA. MY SUV STOPPED WITH IN INCHES OF REAR ENDING A CAR VERY SCARY. I PULLED MY TRUCK INTO A PARKING LOT, TURNED IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. THIS SEEMED TO RESET THE LIGHT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THIS WAS A KNOW PROBLEM AND THEY SAID IT WAS I NEED TO HAVE MY BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED AT A COST OF 820.00 PLUS TAX. THIS WOULD BE AN OUT OF COST EXPENSE BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IF THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WHY WON'T NISSAN RECALL THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE LOAD LEVYING SYSTEM ON THE NISSAN ARMADA. I OWN A 2008 ARMADA AND THE REAR SHOCKS WERE REPLACED SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE BECAUSE OF THE LOSE OF AIR. THE AIR LINES HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AT DIFFERENT DEALERS BECAUSE OF LEAKS. IN JAN. OF 2011 ANOTHER AIR LINE WAS REPLACED AND 2 WEEKS LATER I BLEW AN AIR SHOCK 750 MILES FROM HOME. ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER SHOCK WAS REPLACED AND NOW I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, THE SYSTEM WILL NOT HOLD AIR AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TOWING. PLEASE NOTE THE MILEAGE, MPH AND DATE ARE FOR THE NEXT TO LAST FAILURE. THE LATEST FAILURE HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ALSO NOTE THIS IS A COMPANY OWNED UNIT. *TR
