SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES FAIL WHEN BRAKE SENSOR TURNS ON PERIODICALLY WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THIS IS TO TURN OFF THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN IN MANY NEAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT MANY OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, AIR BAGS
THE FUEL SHOWS THAT I HAVE A QUARTER OF A TANK OR A BIT MORE LEFT AND THE NUMBER MILEAGE ON THE SCREEN SHOWS THE SAME. MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY STOPS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED LAST YEAR FOR THE SAME REASON AND HERE I AM AGAIN. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL AND MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. I CALLED NISSAN AND THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME TOLD CONTACT NHTSA TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE.....HE ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCKS. I FEEL AS THOUGH IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. WE WERE LUCKY THIS TIME. MY AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF EITHER AND HE MENTIONED THIS WAS ANOTHER RECALL.. WHY DID THIS VIN MISS THE RECALLS. IT CLEARLY HAS THOSE ISSUES. THEY WANT ME TO GO TO A DEALER AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO DO THAT. THE DEALERS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE. HOPEFULLY THERE IS ASSISTANCE. THERE IS A RATTLE WITH THE A/C FAN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THAT HOWEVER I HAVE AN ODOR FROM IT AS WELL. AGAIN I AM BRINGING IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC HOWEVER THE TOW COMPANY GAVE ME THE RECALL INFO AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS TRUCK WAS MISSED. CAN YOU HELP WITH THE RECALL FOR US. RECALL #'S 10V51700,10V074000,10V349000. OUR THANKS *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
STARTED HAVING A ISSUE WITH MY BRAKES ON MY NISSAN ARMADA. WHEN YOU PRESSED ON THE BRAKES, THEY WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT WORK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD GO ON. AFTER PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND THE BRAKES WOULD WORK AGAIN. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT REGARDING IT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR. NISSAN KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLES. IN FACT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO THE ARMADA. MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE INCLUDING OTHERS THAT WERE ON THE ROAD WHEN THE BRAKES WENT OUT.

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS IS MY SECOND TIME WITH BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER. THE FIRST TIME IN 2011 AND NOW IN 2018. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND GRINDING NOISE WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKE PRESSURE. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED $982. MY QUESTION IS DID THEY REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS WITH UPGRADE. IT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE THAT TO ME NISSAN IS IGNORING TILL THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT. DEALER STATES DELTA SENSOR FAULTY.

I WAS GOING DOWN EAST CHASE PARKWAY IN FORT WORTH GOING TOWARDS GREEN OAKS BLVD INTO ARLINGTON TEXAS AND MY BRAKES WENT OUT. I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND MY TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP. SO, I PULLED OVER AND CAR MY TRUCK OFF AND ON AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY. I PROCEEDED ON MY WAY AND THEY WENT OUT AGAIN AND I ALMOST REAR ENDED A 18-WHEELER WITH MY TWO BABIES IN THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY RAN UP ON A CURB TO NOT HIT THE SEMI. AND, IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A BRAKES SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BRAKE BOOSTER KIT THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE ABS SYSTEM. THAT WAS RECALLED AND SINCE I DIDN'T FIND OUT TIL LATER AND DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS TIL LATER ON I GOT SCREWED AND HAD TO PAY OVER $1300.00 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. AND, HAVE YET TO BE REIMBURSED WHICH I THINK SUCKS. *TT *TR

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. AS I'M DRIVING MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF BREAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE I'VE BEEN ON 95 WITH MY TWO KIDS IN THE CAR. I'VE HAD MY BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS ON 95 I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF STOPPING THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CANNOT STOP MY VEHICLE. I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I HOPE THIS GETS RESOLVED BECAUSE I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN VEHICLE EVER AGAIN.

THE VDC OFF LIGHT, SLIP LIGHT AND BRAKES POP UP ON THE DASH. THE CAR BEGINS TO MAKE A SPRINGY SOUND MAYBE FROM THE BRAKES. THE CAR HAS TO SLOW DOWN AND IT STOPS FOR A MINUTE BUT IT CONTINUOUSLY DOES IT WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT HAPPENS WITH NO DISCRIMINATION AS TO WHERE YOU ARE (CITY, HIGHWAY,ETC...) .

SERVICE BRAKES
MY HUSBAND PURCHASED AN 06 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE HE WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY HE WENT TO SLOW DOWN AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MADE A WEIRD GRINDING NOISE. HE PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. WAS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE. AFTER HE RESTARTED IT, IT DROVE FINE. TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEMSELVES AND THEY FOUND NOTHING BUT RECOMMENDED A BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO US. AGAIN JUST RECENTLY, I WAS WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO RUN THROUGH A RED LIGHT BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP.THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON BUT THE BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED. THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AS IF I NEEDED ROTORS. I LET THE VEHICLE SLOW DOWN AND I PULLED OVER IN A SAFE AREA AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER RESTARTING IT AFTER 5 MINS THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE. I HAD MY FATHER HOOK HIS CODE READER UP AND WE CAME UP WITH A CODE C1179 WHICH IS A DELTA STROKE SENSOR. RESEARCHED THE CODE AND FOUND THAT NISSAN HAD MULTIPLE LAWSUITS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL FOR IT. I CONTACTED NISSAN THEMSELVES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE GENTLEMAN THAT I SPOKE TO AT NISSAN TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT BUILT IN A CERTAIN FACTORY THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT HIS SUGGESTION WAS THAT IF I HAD A GOOD REPOIRE WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO ME THEY MAY BE ABLE TO HELP ME WITH THE COST. THE LAWSUIT NEVER SPECIFIED A CERTAIN FACTORY THE VEHICLES CAME OUT OF. IT STATED 2004-2008 NISSAN TITAN AND ARMADA OR INFINITY QX56. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, HAS BEEN SUED NOT ONCE BUT MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS STILL REFUSING TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE.

AIR BAGS
ON MONDAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER, SISTER, NIECE AND NEPHEW TO SCHOOL I NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING. AT THE TIME I ASSUMED IT WAS THE SEAT BELT LIGHT SO I HAD EVERYONE CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR BELTS WERE BUCKLED. AFTER REALIZING THAT EVERYONE WAS BUCKLED I ASKED MY SISTER TO GOOGLE SEARCH WHAT THE LIGHT MEANT. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS IN THIS VEHICLE, I DROVE TO MY FATHERS HOUSE AND HE HOOKED UP HIS CODE READER AND WE FOUND TWO CODES ONE WAS B1182 AND B1023. B1182 IS FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM AND THE B1023 WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SAYING THAT IT IS INOPERABLE.

LEFT FRONT WHEEL, TIRE, DISK BRAKE ASSEMBLY, PLUS CALIPER AND BRAKE DISK DETACHED FROM VEHICLE WHILE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING APPROX 60 MPH ON RTE 8 IN CONN. TRUCK SPUN INTO THE MEDIAN GUARD RAIL AND I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO GET IT STOPPED. INSPECTION OF THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WELL REVEALED THAT THE TIE ROAD TO THAT WHEEL ASSEMBLY HAD COMPLETELY SEVERED ITSELF--AS IF YOU WERE SLICING INTO A CAKE WITH A KNIFE. . WE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN BOTH KILLED. I WANT YOU TO RESEARCH WHETHER THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS 2004 ARMADA OF WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. PLEASE RESPOND TO [XXX] THANK YOU.

THE ABS HYDRAULIC BRAKE SENORS HAVE NOW BEEN REPLACED TWICE ON MY ARMADA. THE BRAKES WILL DROP TO THE FLOOR AND MAKE ALL KIND OF NOISES WON'T STOP. THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR ALL OTHER VINS THAN MINE. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO OTHER THAN START CHANGING OTHER PARTS ON MY DIME. NISSAN OF AMERICA HAS TOLD ME THE SAME THING. WE HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN SEVERAL WRECKS. I DO NOT WANT MY WIFE TO END UP IN ONE BECAUSE OF THIS TRUCK. JUST BOUGHT THE SECOND SET OF THESE YESTERDAY AND NEARLY HIT SOMEONE AGAIN TODAY. SINCE I KEEP A GOOD DISTANCE BETWEEN OTHER TRAFFIC AND MYSELF IS THE ONLY REASON WE HAVEN'T BEEN A WRECK YET.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE READS INACCURATELY, SHOWING A FUEL LEVEL EVEN WHEN EMPTY. A RECALL WAS ISSUED IN 2010 FOR OTHER 2005 ARMADA MODELS. A CALL TO NISSAN (CASE#32522656) SHOWED THAT OVER 340,000 VEHICLES WERE RECALLED BY THE NHTSA (CAMPAIGN #10V074000), BUT MY VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THIS CAMPAIGN. AS NOTED IN THE OTHER RECALL BY THE NHTSA, THIS COULD RESULT IN UNEXPECTEDLY RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, DISABLING THE VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
AT RANDOM TIMES, USUALLY WHEN TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE BRAKE LIGHT DISPLAYS ON THE DASH AND IMMEDIATELY THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK APPROPRIATELY. THE BRAKE PEDAL SINKS TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED WHILE MAKING A LOUD GROANING/GRINDING SOUND. THE BRAKES FAIL. I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR BY PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL, TURNING OFF THE MOTOR AND THEN ONCE AUTO RESTARTS THE PROBLEM IS GONE UNTIL NEXT TIME. VERY DANGEROUS. AT HIGHER SPEEDS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURY OR DEATH. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON EXPRESSWAY. HAPPENED IN PARKING LOTS AND ON SIDE STREETS. FRIGHTENING SITUATION. DEALERS ACT IGNORANT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM EVEN THO THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND IT IS THE ABS BOOSTER THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. OTHERS SAID IT IS THE COMPUTER. I SPENT 4 HOURS 2 WKS AGO AT DEALER WHO "FOUND NOTHING." YET THE SITUATION HAS INCREASED FRON A FEW TIMES A YEAR TO 3 TIMES THIS WEEK.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SUSPENSION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, A RAMBLING NOISE WAS PRESENT AT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (JP MOTORS, INC., 3675 FRONTAGE RD, PERU, IL) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE WAS FAULTY. THE THROTTLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR SUSPENSION WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE LATER RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
ISSUE WITH ABS ENGAGING AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS CREATING AN INABILITY TO BRAKE. MY WIFE DROVE THROUGH A STOP SIGN WITH ALL 4 OF MY KIDS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND LUCKED OUT. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. AT A SPEED OF ONLY 4 MILES PER HOUR, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, I DROVE THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT, ONLY ACCELERATING ENOUGH TO GET TO A SIDE ROAD. WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE, THERE WAS A CRUNCHING/GRINDING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED TO MY WIFE, I REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER (HELL OF A JOB) AND I INSTALLED NEW ROTORS AND PADS ALL THE WAY AROUND AS THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS TOLD TO BE THE ISSUE AFTER NISSAN WAS SUED FOR THE PROBLEM AS IT GREW. IT STILL NEVER BECAME A TSB AND I HAVE A HALF TON DEATH TRAP IN MY DRIVEWAY.

THE RADIATOR RELEASED TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL OVER MY DRIVEWAY, IT WAS MIXED WITH THE COOLANT AND NOW MY GEARS ARE STRIPPED. THERE WERE RECALLS ABOUT THIS ON THE 2005-2010 ARMADAS BUT WHEN I EVEN WENT TO KEY IN THE TYPE OF VEHICLE I HAVE, IT ISNT RECOGNIZED. THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY CAR, PLEASE RESEARCH.
