SERVICE BRAKES
BREAK WAS FIXED AS PART OF RECALL BUT NOW THE SAME PROBLEM REAPPEARED. THE DEALER SAYS FIX WAS ONE OFF AND NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. SPENT HOURS IN MANY DIFFERENT CALLS TO 1-800-NISSAN1. THEY ARE GIVING ME RUN AROUND AND NOT AUTHORIZING THE SAME DEALER TO REDO THE RECALLED COMPONENTS. THE NISSAN AGENT REFUSED TO CONSIDER IT A SAFTY RECALL ISSUE. NISSAN CREATED CASE NUMBER: 26306021 AGENT ID: 7319032

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.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
WE HAVE A 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA WITH UNDER 74,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE VEHICLE LOOKS LIKE IT IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE UNTIL IT IS PUT ON A LIFT. THE MAJOR CONTROL ARMS OF THE VEHICLE ARE SEVERELY RUSTED WHILE OTHER STEEL IN CLOSE PROXIMITY IS NOT. WE FOUND A RECALL FOR 1996-2004 NISSAN PATHFINDERS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE: 'CAMPAIGN ID #: R1107 'NHTSA #:11V-244 'APPLIED VEHICLES:1996-2004 PATHFINDER (R50) NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN TOLD US THAT THIS RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR VEHICLE. WE BELIEVE THAT THE COMPONENTS USED ON OUR VEHICLE WERE PROBABLY PRODUCED BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER AS THE RECALLED COMPONENTS AND THEREFORE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE THAT WE SPOKE WITH WOULD NEITHER CONFIRM NOR DENY THIS. ( MARIANA 615-725-5879) SHE COULD ONLY CONFIRM THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO OUR NISSAN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND WITHIN THE FIRST 3 DAYS OF HAVING IT NOTICED WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXHAUST LEAK. I WAS ASSURED IT WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF NOT TO WORRY. FIVE MONTHS LATER IT IS STILL NOT FIXED AND THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED. NOT JUST ONE SIDE BUT BOTH SIDES. I AM SURE THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTED WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? AND WHY ISNT THERE A RECALL SEEING AS THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE. ALSO, ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS I HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT OF THE REAR HATCH OF THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO OPEN IT EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS UNLOCKED. I EVEN CRAWLED FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK TO TRY THE EMERGENCY LATCH AND NOTHING WOULD ALLOW IT TO OPEN. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH 138K MILES AND SEEMED TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION...I GUESS THE OLD SAYING "LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING"

SERVICE BRAKES
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.

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NISSAN STATES THERE ARE NO RECALLS OPEN FOR THIS VIN ALTHOUGH NETS STATES THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR HAS A RECALL OUT FOR THE THE FUEL GAUGE. MY GAS TANK INCORRECTLY READS THE GAS WHICH CAUSED ME TO STALL ON THE HIGHWAY! I CAN DRIVE AROUND ALL DAY AND WILL STILL SHOW ITS FULL. ENGINE IS ALSO VERY LOUD DURING ACCELERATION AND OVERHEATS THE CAR. PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WILL ALSO NOT TURN OFF, NOT SURE IF THIS IS A RECALL, BUT CAR INDICATES NO PASSENGER IS SITTING WHEN THERE IS AND SHOWS THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY OF A CRASH HAPPENS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DOESN'T MATTER THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE, BRAKES TEND TO PRESS TO THE FLOOR, GRINDING NOISE AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO PULL OVER THE VEHICLE, TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART IT. IT RANDOMLY HAPPENS, BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF AND WHEN I TOW OR AM ON THE HIGHWAY, I DON'T WON'T MY BRAKES TO NOT WORK. COULD KILL ME...I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH BRAKES AND LIGHTS COMING ON THAT SAYS VDO ,ANTILOCK ETC: WHEN DRIVING THE SUV AT LOWER SPEEDS AND YOU TRY TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE WHOLE FRONT END STARTS SHAKING AND GRINDING AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. I HAVE REPLACED BRAKES, ROTORS , WHEEL HUB BEARINGS AND STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS SCARY WHEN YOU CAN'T STOP A 7,000LB VEHICLE! I AM IN FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT . I HAVE READ OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMETIMES WHEN RUNNING HYW SPEEDS A LOT OF LIGHTS COME ON AND DINGERS AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE ARMADA. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT NISSAN IS GONNA DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM CAUSE IT SEEMS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THESE ISSUES. BY THE WAY THIS IS GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BACK ON 10/2006.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NISSAN ARMADA AIR FILTER HOUSING RECALL... OVER THE PASS COUPLE OF YEARS, I'VE NOTICE THAT OUR TRUCK WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. WE'D START IT BACK UP, AND CONTINUE DRIVING AND IT WOULD SHUT OFF AGAIN. AFTER CHECKING THE AIR FILTER UNDER THE HOOD, I DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS DIRTY. SO, I REPLACED THE FILTER AND IT WOULD BE GOOD. HOWEVER, AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF DRIVING IT WILL REPEAT THE SAME THING OF JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. RECENTLY, IT HAS BEEN SHUTTING DOWN MORE OFTEN. SO, AFTER SOME LOOKING UNDERNEATH THE HOOD, I WENT BACK TO THE AIR FILTER HOUSING BOX AND DISCOVERED THAT THE AIR FILTER HOUSING BOX DOES NOT SEAL PROPERLY. AS A RESULT OF THE AIR FILTER HOUSING NOT SEALING PROPERLY, AIR SEEPS IN THROWING OFF THE AIR TO GAS RATIO MIXTURE AND IT SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE, TURNING OFF THE CAR IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING. I REPORTED THIS TOO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY CLEANED THE AIR FILTER BOX AND SAID THAT SHOULD FIX IT. HOWEVER, AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, MY TRUCK LITERALLY SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING FIVE (5) TIMES. I THEN WENT BACK UNDER THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK, READJUSTED THE AIR FILTER HOUSING IN AN ATTEMPT TO SEAL IT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AND MY TRUCK DID NOT SHUT DOWN AT ALL. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE THAT I BELIEVE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. I'VE TALKED TO OTHER NISSAN OWNERS THEY HAVE REPORTED THE SAME THING. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS REAL SOON IN THE PICTURE THAT I HAVE ATTACHED TO THIS FILE, YOU CAN SEE THE ORANGE PIECE FROM THE FILTER THAT IS STICKING OUT FROM THE HOUSING. AGAIN, THROUGH DRIVING AND HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD, THE HOUSING SEPARATES AND ALLOW MORE AIR TO SEEP INTO HOUSING AND THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF. AGAIN, ONCE THE HOUSING IS FIXED IN PLACE AGAIN, THE TRUCK IS DRIVABLE UNTIL THE HOUSING SEPARATES AGAIN. *TR
