MY NISSAN ARMADA ONLY HAS 67K MILES ON IT LIKE BRAND NEW IT ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST LOST ALL POWER I DROVE IT THE NIGHT BEFORE NO ISSUES THEN THE NEXT MORNING THERE WERE 3 LIGHTS ON WHICH WERE THE VDC, SLIP, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ALSO, THE TRUNK ON THE VEHICLE DOESNT UNLOCK WHEN YOU HIT THE BUTTON NEITHER DOES THE GLASS LIFT DOOR I HAVE TO CLIMB IN THRU THE VEHICLE GET INSIDE THE TRUNK AND TAKE COVER OFF OF THE EMERGENCY RELEASE AND HOLD DOWN LEVER WHILE SOMEONE FROM THE OUTSIDE OPENS THE DOOR FOR ME WHILE IM INSIDE HOLDING THE LEVER DOWN. THE LOSS OF POWER IS THE MAIN ISSUE HERE WHAT IF I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE OR SOMETHING AND THAT HAPPENED.

ENGINE
DURING A FAMILY CAMPING TRIP, TOWING A CAMPER, AT ~54,000 MILES THE EXHAUST BROKE OFF THE VEHICLE AT THE MOUNTING FLANGE JUST BEHIND THE MUFFLER. THIS CAUSED EXHAUST TO HEAT THE FLOORBOARDS JUST AT THE 3RD ROW SEATS, MELTING THE PLASTIC COVER TO THE MOUNTING BOLTS OF THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR, AND MELTING THE CARPET IN THE SAME AREA, AND FILLING THE CAB WITH MELTING PLASTIC FUMES. IT ALSO MELTED THE REAR AIR-RIDE SUSPENSION AIR LINE, CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO BE IN-OPERABLE WHILE TOWING AND OFF BALANCE LOADING WHILE DRIVING.

SERVICE BRAKES
INTERMITTENTLY, AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS CAUSES GREATLY DIMINISHED BRAKING POWER (IT FEELS LIKE A VACUUM HAS RELEASED AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP). THE ONLY WAY TO RECTIFY THIS IS TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY AND THEN RESTART IT. THIS IS OK ON CITY STREETS BUT IS VERY SCARY ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD A NISSAN DEALER LOOK AT IT MULTIPLE TIMES BUT SINCE THE CAR CHECKS OUT MECHANICALLY AND THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE SITUATION, THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS.

2017 VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE LEAVING A DRIVE THROUGH, WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM PARK. AT NEXT VENUE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. OWNER ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE WITH REMOTE START. THE ENGINE TURNED ON, HOWEVER, UPON ENTRY WHEN THE OWNER PRESSED THE START AND PLACED FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE REPAIRS WERE MADE TO A STOP SENSOR, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE IS STILL HESITATING.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE ABS BRAKES ENGAGE AND THE CAR IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE LOOKED AT AND DIFFERENT PARTS CHANGED BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS COMING BACK. I HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED, BRAKE BOOSTER AND CLOCK SPRING CHANGED. THE VDC AND SLIP LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND THE ABS ENGAGES WHILE DRIVING. ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK THE OTHER DAY BUT I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER AROUND VEHICLES AND THEN STOP. THIS ALSO HAPPENED BACK IN 2011 WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE WE HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER CHANGED AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL NOW. THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS EVALUATED AND SCANNED AND CHECKED OUT OK. LAST TIME IT COST $1,000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT, BUT IS NOW A PROBLEM AGAIN.

DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS THE INTERIOR OVERHEAD CONSOLE SIMPLY FELL DOWN AND WAS LEFT HANGING BY ATTACHED WIRES. NOBODY HAD TOUCHED OR OTHERWISE MANIPULATED THE CONSOLE. IT FELL IN TWO STAGES, AT FIRST IT DROOPED AND THEN MOMENTS LATER FELL AND LUCKILY DID NOT HIT OUR DAUGHTER IN THE HEAD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO STALL (IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY). I RAN OUT OF GAS WITH WHAT MY GAGE SAID WAS A LITTLE OVER A QUARTER OF A TANK LEFT. THERE WAS NO GAS LIGHT ON. ONCE SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO BRING ME GAS, MY CAR STARTED BACK UP. I LOOKED UP RECALLS ON THIS MODEL, AND EVEN THOUGH MY VIN IS "NOT EFFECTED", I BELIEVE IT IS PART OF THIS RECALL. (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V074000)

SERVICE BRAKES
I'VE MADE SOME RESEARCH AND I'M SURPRISED TO FIND OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. SOMETIMES WITHOUT NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AS YOU TRY TO BRAKE YOU HEAR A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND LOOSE BRAKING POWER. I PULL OVER TURN OFF THE TRUCK FOR A FEW SECONDS, TURN IT BACK ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES AWAY. IT WORKS GOOD AFTER THAT BUT SOMETIMES I GET THE SAME PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGH OUT THE DAY. IT GETS SCARY WHEN TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPS AND THAT HAPPENS. NISSAN SHOULD REALLY MAKE A RECALL ON THIS.

BRAKE LIGHT CAME ONE AND TRIED TO STOP BUT A LOUD SOUND CAME FROM THE BRAKES LIKE A GRINDING SOUND. THE BRAKES PADS ARE GOOD BUT SOUNDS LIKE A BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEM. I COULD BARELY STOP TO AVOID WRECKING INTO SOMEONE ELSE.

MY VEHICLE WAS ACTING COMPLETELY NORMAL NO DASH LIGHTS UNTIL I WENT TO STOP AT A STOP LIGHT THATS WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP MY BREAKES WERE SOFT GRINDING NOISE AND DID NOT WANT TO STOP. I LOOK AT THE DASH AND THE BREAK LIGHT WAS ON I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD PUT IN THE PARKING BREAK AND RELEASED IT. STILL SAME ISSUE. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN BACK ON AND NOW IS WORKING COMPLETELY NORMAL AGAIN. AFTER DOING RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THE NISSAN ARMADAS AND TITANS. IT IS FOUND TO BE A FAULTY BREAK BOOSTER AND SENSOR. I HAD 2 OF MY CHILDREN WITH ME. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE NOT KNOWING IF I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE. NISSAN NEEDS THIS BOOSTER TO BE RECALLED. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT YOU MAY LOOSE YOUR BREAKS.
