STRUCTURE:BODY
SUNROOF EXPLODED IN CARWASH. EXPLOSION WAS SO VIOLENT IT BENT THE FRAMING AROUND SUNROOF. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DRYING PORTION OF THE CARWASH. THE CARWASH HAS INCIDENT ON VIDEOTAPE BUT HAS NOT ALLOWED ME TO VIEW IT AS OF THIS CORRESPONDENCE. THE SUNROOF HAD NO DAMAGE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. TEMP OUTSIDE WAS APPROX 25 DEGREES AND THE HEATER WAS ON INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHICH MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE INCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THERE WAS A SUDDEN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN THE COOLING SYSTEM THAT ALLOWED FLUIDS TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILT ALONG WITH COMPONENTS WITH THE RADIATOR/COOLING SYSTEM. WE WERE AT A STOP WAITING TO TURN LEFT, WHEN THE SIGNAL TURNED GREEN, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE REVVED AS WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. CALLED AAA AS WE NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP. THE AUTO SHOP EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN THE COOLING SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION. REPAIR COSTS TOTALED $6000!!

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.

THE FRONT ONLY DRIVER SIDE HEATING AND COOLING DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE PASSENGER SIDE AND BACK HEATING AND COOLING OPERATES AS EXPECTED. EXAMPLE: AT 90 ON HIGH HEAT, ALL AREAS OF THE VEHICLE WILL BE HOT EXCEPT THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD AND FLOORBOARD AIR VENTS BLOW COOL AIR. EXACT THING HAPPENS (IN OPPOSITE) IN THE SUMMER WHEN RUNNING THE AC.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION HUNTS AND SHIFTS VERY EARLY, CRIPPLING ACCELERATION. AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SIGNIFICANT DEPRESSION OF THE ACCELERATOR IS REQUIRED TO EFFECT A DOWNSHIFT. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN ACCELERATION IS REQUIRED FOR MANEUVERING. WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR, SIGNIFICANT OSCILLATIONS OCCUR UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION SETTLES ON A POINT. ALSO, AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE ENGINE RPM CONTINUOUSLY 'FLUTTERS' UNDER CONSTANT ACCELERATOR POSITION AND NO CHANGE IN ENGINE LOAD (FLAT STRAIGHT ROAD). I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I SLIGHTLY DEPRESS THE ACCCELERATOR TO MAINTAIN SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION RESPONDS BY FURTHER REDUCING ENGINE RPM AGAIN HAMPERING ACCELERATION (EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF ANY OTHER AUTOMATIC VEHICLE I HAVE DRIVEN). THIS TRANSMISSION OPERATES AS IF IT HAS AIR IN THE HYDRAULICS. I HAVE HAD THE LATEST TSB INSTALLED FOR THE ECM AND TCM (REVISION E). NISSAN DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CAPABLE OF FIXING THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOUGHT NISSAN ARMADA ABOUT 7 WEEKS AGO. WENT ON A 3.5 HOUR TRIP TWICE. WHILE USING THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM WENT BLANK, FLICKER. CALLED AND TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER. TEXTED THE SERVICE ADVISOR PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING. THE DEALER HAD MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY DROVE MY VEHICLE A FEW HUNDRED MILES AND STILL COULDN'T GET IT TO REPLICATE. THE DEALER DECIDED TO ORDER A NEW RADIO. I DROPED MY VEHICLE OFF LAST NIGHT AND SAID THE PART WOULD BE IN SOMETIME TODAY 11/14/2017. RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THE PART WOULD BE IN. COULD BE UPTO 6 MONTHS.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA, BOUGHT IT NEW AND MY WIFE USE TO TELL ME THAT THE BRAKES WOULD GRIND AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD GO ON, I USE TO THINK SHE WAS CRAZY, NOW THAT I DRIVE THE CAR MY SELF I KNEW SHE WAS RIGHT, WHEN WE STEP ON THE BRAKE PETAL THE BRAKES START GRINDING AND THE BRAKE COMES ON WE HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND IS PRETTY SCARY WHEN WE TRY TO STOP AND COMPLETELY LOOSE BRAKE POWER, WHEN MY WIFE FIRST TOLD ME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T CHECK FOR THE PROBLEM SINCE IT HAD TO BE DOING IT WHEN I TOOK IT WELL THEN IT DIDN'T DO IT OFTEN, THEN I TOOK IT ONE TIME WHILE IT WAS DOING IT AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY NEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS BUT COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE I WAS OUT OFF WARRANTY. I THINK IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT THEY WON'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT SINCE THEIR IS NO RECALL, I THINK NHTSA NEEDS TO STEP IN AND ISSUE A RECALL AS WE KNOW THEIR IS A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND A WIFE AND DON'T US TO BE THE NEXT VICTIM OF AN ACCIDENT. IS NOT LIKE WE PAID PENNIES FOR THIS CAR, HOPE YOU GUYS CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE LOOSE A LOVE ONE

WHILE TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE, AND PROCEEDING DOWN THE ROAD, HAS HAPPEN AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 10MPH UP TO 70MPH. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD GOES ON. WITHIN 5-10 SECONDS HEARING A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR, SOUNDS LIKE COMING FROM BREAKS IN ADDITION TO A SPRING LIKE SOUND AND A REDUCTION OF BREAKING POWER. THIS CONTINUES UNTIL YOU PULL OFF THE ROAD, AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON. ONCE THE CAR IS RESET IT APPEARS TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. I PURCHASED THE CAR AT WITH APPROXIMATELY 69K MILES ON IT, IT CURRENTLY HAS ROUGHLY 114K MILES ON IT AND HAS HAPPEN APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES SINCE 95K MILES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP AND HAVE EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. THEY ADVISED THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE VIN NUMBER ON MY ARMADA. THAT THIS WOULD REQUIRE A TECHNICIAN TO PROVIDE A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT NOT GUARANTEE. APPROXIMATELY TAKE 1-2 HOURS FOR A TECHNICIAN TO DO THIS AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY. SPOKE TO NISSAN USA AND THEY VIEW THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE AS REGULAR SERVICE MAINTENANCE. THIS ISSUE HAS SEEMED TO BE COMMON IN ARMADA'S FROM 2004 TO 2008, BASED ON WHAT HAS BEEN LISTED ON SEVERAL FORUMS. EXAMPLE: HTTP://WWW.CLUBARMADA.COM/FORUMS/26-BRAKES/4018-MORE-ABS-NEAR-BRAKE-FAILURE-PROBLEMS.HTML THIS HAS HAPPEN IN 2016 - 2017.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKES ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATED ABRUPTLY AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. DURING THE INCIDENT, SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKE CYLINDER, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.
