SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES GOING IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. MECHANIC SAYS DELTA S SENSOR CODE CAME UP AND THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. ALSO SAID TO REPORT IT SINCE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE BOUNCING ON THE ROTORS AND BARLEY STOPPING THE CAR. WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN FEELS LIKE CAR IS STILL TRYING TO GO FORWARD WHILE BRAKES ARE BOUNCING ON THE ROTORS.

SERVICE BRAKES
I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY BRAKE LIGHT THAT KEEPS COMING ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES MY TRUCK JERKS BADLY, MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, MY BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES WHILE STOPPING. I WAS TOLD I NEED MY BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED WHICH WAS DONE AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THE CODE C1179 IS THE ISSUES. THE CODE IS NISSAN - DELTA STROKE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING WHICH ONLY NISSAN CAN FIX THE PROBLEM (AND THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUES AS WELL). WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR NISSAN TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE THAT IS GOING ON WITH SEVERAL TRUCKS. I DON'T LIKE THE FEELING OF DRIVING AND CANNOT STOP OR FEEL AS IF I AM GOING TO HIT SOMEONE I HAVE CHILDREN AND I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH THEM OR ANYONE ELSE WITHIN THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IF THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS CODE C1179 WHY IS NISSAN NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ISSUES AND COST? I HAVE FIXED EVERYTHING THAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE AND NOW I HAVE TO HAVE MY TRUCK REPROGRAMMED WHICH IS COSTING ME MORE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN 8 MONTHS AND IT IS NOW 11/2017.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON THE DATE OF JULY 12, 2017 I WAS ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. TRAFFIC WAS MODERATE. AS I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE I NOTICED IT MADE SPRINGY GRINDING SOUND, AND THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION AS WELL. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE RED BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR WAS ON. IN A SAFE AND DESPERATE MANNER, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO SHOULDER AND PUT MY VEHICLE ON PARK. AFTER I PLACED MY VEHICLE ON PARK, I TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED OFF, THEN I TURNED IT BACK ON. ONCE I TURNED IT BACK ON, I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON AND THE BRAKES WERE WORKING FINE. ON JULY 13, 2017, WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS TO DISNEYLAND, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME INCIDENT AGAIN. AS I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD SPRINGY GRINDING SOUND. IN ADDITION THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION AS WELL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. THIS TIME I WAS NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SHOULDER DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAD TO ACTIVATE MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND TURN OFF AND TURN ON MY VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE LANE. PLEASE ADHERE TO THIS MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING MY NISSAN ARMADA IT GOES THRU A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR COMES ON. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN CYCLES LIKE EVERY MONTH OR SO BUT WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS, UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. THIS IS A DEFINITE MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE BLOGGED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. MANY HAVE CLAIMED IT'S AN ABS OR BOOSTER BRAKE ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL. A RECALL IS NECESSARY BEFORE A MAJOR TRAGEDY OCCURS.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I EXITED THE HIGHWAY I TRIED TO APPLY MY BRAKES I HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKES. THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE. I FINALLY GOT THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN A SAFE LOCATION, TURNED THE CAR OFF,RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAKE. THIS RECENTLY HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE CITY STREET. I PULLED OFF OF THE STREET, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I REALLY FEAR FOR MY LIFE BECAUSE I BARELY HAVE ANY BRAKES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE BRAKE PETAL IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAN STOP. THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY.

POWER TRAIN
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE FAILURE. OUR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE SPRUNG A LEAK WITHOUT WARNING AND NO IGNITION LIGHTS TURNING ON. THE END RESULT IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ARMADA 2006 TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES. THE LINE HAD A WEAK SPOT IN IT THAT SPLIT OPEN AND SPRAYED ALL THE ATF OUT. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING BACK THROUGH OUR TOWN AT ABOUT 35 MPH.

EVERY SO OFTEN THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKES SCREECH AND DON'T RESPOND WHEN STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHAT I DO IS TURN OF THE CAR AND FOR SOME REASON THIS SEEMS TO DO A RESET AND THE CAR GOES BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING AND BRAKE YOU CAN CRASH.

OWN A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA LE. STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE BRAKE, VDC, SLIP, AND 4WD LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THOUGHT IT APPEARED BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING COLD. DROVE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS DOWN A CITY A STREET AND HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED AND THE TRUCK JOLTED A LITTLE BIT. AFTER ANOTHER BLOCK, LIGHTS WENT AWAY AND DIDN'T HAVE MORE ANY ISSUES ON THE WAY HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME, TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK, NO LIGHTS. DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND READ MANY ISSUES RELATING TO THIS. A COUPLE A DAYS LATER CHECKED THE TRUCK, ON START-UP...NO LIGHTS, THEN WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE SAME LIGHTS LIT UP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, LIGHTS WERE LIT, BRAKES ENGAGED, AND SPEEDOMETER WAS FLUCTUATING AND THEN DIDN'T MOVE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, SPEEDOMETER ACTIVATED AGAIN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PUT IN PARK. NISSAN DEALERSHIP DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THE ADVISOR INDICATED BOTH THE ECM AND ABS ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY WERE FRIED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, $3,100 TO START OUT WITH. TRUCK IS STILL AT THE SHOP, NO WORK HAS STARTED. NOTIFIED NISSAN CUSTOMER RELATIONS SINCE THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WAITING TO HEAR BACK. ALSO CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD TELL ME AND IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE. CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. BACK THE NEXT DAY AND TALKED TO ANOTHER ADVISOR, THE ADVISOR INDICATED SINCE THERE ARE SOME ARE HARD CODES (U1000, U1001) DISPLAYED WITH THE ECM AND ABS ASSEMBLY, THE SYSTEMS POTENTIALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED.

I TRIED TO BRAKE AND MY BREAKS WOULDN'T RESPOND, IT ALSO SOUNDED LIKE MY BREAKS WERE HITTING METAL WITH METAL, THE BREAK LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. AFTER PUSHING THE BREAK PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES IT STOPPED HAD TO TURN ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AS I STOPPED AT A MAIN STREET. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND BACK ON MY BRAKE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND DROVE HOME THROUGH THE SMALL STREETS SINCE WAS AFRAID THAT THE BREAKS WOULDN'T WORK AGAIN.
