POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SEEM TO SHIFT IN A NORMAL MANNER IT DOES NOT SHIFT UP WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND SEEMS TO DOWNSHIFT UN-NECESSARILY. YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE WORKING HARDER THAN IT SHOULD SINCE IT'S IN A LOWER GEAR THAN IT SHOULD BE, AND YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE TACHOMETER BECAUSE IT'S RUNNING AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE. ON ONE OCCASION I NOTICED THE TACHOMETER FLUTTERING FOR 10-15 SECONDS WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED. ALL OF THE OCCURRENCES WERE ON CITY STREETS. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME AS IT COULD BE A FEW DAYS IN BETWEEN OCCURRENCES. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE ALREADY. THEY DID NOTICE THE PROBLEM AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX!

THE REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE BROKE OFF. LUCKILY IT DID NOT OCCUR WHILE WE WERE DRIVING AS IT WOULD HAVE STARTLED US GREATLY AND AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE EASILY OCCURRED. ALSO IT IS RIGHT ABOVE WHERE MY CHILDREN SIT AND COULD HAVE CAUSED HARM TO THEIR HEAD, NECK OR EYE WHICH ARE ALL VERY CRITICAL AREAS OF THE BODY ESPECIALLY FOR A DEVELOPING CHILD.

AIR BAGS
PRIORITY NISSAN MAZDA SOLD A 2010 NISSAN ARMADA WITH AN INCORRECT OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) AND REFUSED TO REPAIR THE SAFETY DEFECT. THE INCORRECT ECU AND SEAT COMBINATION MAY MISCLASSIFY THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT AND WILL CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO MALFUNCTION DURING A CRASH. IF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT IS MISCLASSIFIED, THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY. ACCORDING TO PRIORITY NISSAN MAZDA OF VIENNA VA, THE DEALERSHIP FOUND CODES STORED B1017 OCS CONTROL - NEEDS PASSENGER SEAT ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE OCS UNIT. NISSAN HAS PREVIOUS SAFETY RECALLS FOR THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE WITH ALL OTHER YEARS AND MODELS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN AS IT IS UNSAFE.

SERVICE BRAKES
TWO TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WHILE DRIVING, MY BRAKE LIGHT LIGHTING UP AND MY BRAKES FAILING. MY PEDAL WOULD GO DOWN FARTHER, GRINDING NOISES COULD BE HEARD, AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO STOP MY VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER AS CAREFULLY AS POSSIBLE, STOPPED SLOWLY, AND TURNED MY ENGINE OFF. I THEN RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE, NO BRAKE LIGHT, NO NOISE, NO ISSUE PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I KNOW NISSAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHT IS OFF AND IT IS NOT AN ISSUE RIGHT NOW. I KNOW THEY ARE ALSO AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF CAR AND THEY SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT OF COURT THAT I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM AT THAT POINT. BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING ON CITY STREETS, ONCE I WAS GOING ABOUT 35MPH THE OTHER ABOUT 45MPH. I AM MORE THAN AFRAID BECAUSE WE DO OCCASIONALLY TRAVEL ON MOUNTAIN ROADS AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I WOULD HANDLE THIS SITUATION IF IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL.

MY "BRAKE" LIGHT IS RANDOMLY COMING ON WHEN I'M BRAKING OR JUST DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD OR ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I BRAKE IN ANY OF THESE DRIVING SITUATIONS. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NOTHING IS BEING IDENTIFIED. I'VE BEEN REVIEWING A FORUM THAT IS IDENTIFYING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER ARMADAS. IT SEEMS TO BE THE BOOSTER SENSORS, WHICH IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR.

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
