WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP, WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BASICALLY GOES TO THE FLOOR AND BARELY WORKS TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE BRAKES GRIND AS IT IS PUSHED. IF YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IT SEEMS TO RESET ITSELF. WE ALMOST HIT SOMEONE TODAY TRYING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT ROUGHLY 15-20 MPH WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED (TODAY). WE WERE ON A CITY STREET, BRAKING TO STOP. IT SEEMS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND I AM BOGGLED AT THE FACT THAT NO ONE IS REQUIRING NISSAN TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. EVENTUALLY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET VERY HURT. HAVING LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER YOUR BRAKING IS VERY SCARY, ESPECIALLY WITH MY LITTLE ONE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME . THIS IS A LARGE VEHICLE AND WOULD DO A LOT OF DAMAGE IF IT WERE TO HIT SOMEONE THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONCE EVERY 2-4 WEEKS OR SO. IT APPEARS TO BE RANDOM.

BRAKE LIGHT ON MY DASH WILL COME ON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HIT THE BRAKE AND A VIOLENT JERKING AND GRINDING SOUND ON THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE FEELS LIKE IT WOULD SLIP FOR LITTLE AND BUT WILL STILL STOP THE VEHICLE. I TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND EVERYTHING BECAME NORMAL AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET CHECK AND THEY SAID THAT THE WERE NOT ABLE TO MIRROR THE PROBLEM AND SEND THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. NOW IT HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN AND I WOULD JUST TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESOLVES THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND WON. THERE HAD BEEN PLENTY OF COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS PROBLEM TOO FROM OTHER OWNERS. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT WHY IS THERE NO RECALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM STILL.. WHY AM I BEING FORCE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT FIRST AND THEN GET PARTIALLY REIMBURSED

READING THE COMPLAINTS AND FOUND OTHERS THE SAME AS MINE. HAVE TAKEN THE NISSAN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST THREE, MAYBE FOUR TIMES, COMPLAINING OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGING WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN ENTERING A FREEWAY (HIGHWAY) AND DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHILE I APPRECIATE THAT OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS NOT A FLUKE, IT IS DISCONCERTING AND DANGEROUS. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 7/23/16!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND STALLED OUT. I WAS IN FEAR FOR MY FAMILIES LIFE AND HAD MY WIFE STEER THE CAR WHILE I PUSHED IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER. A PASSER BYE IN A PICK UP HAD A CAN OF GAS AND IT WAS ENOUGH TO GET ME TO A GAS STATION. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2005 ARMADA FOR THE FUEL SENDING SENSOR BUT NOT ON THE 2004. THIS IS APPARENTLY A LOT OF 2004 ARMADAS THAT HAVE THIS SAFETY MALFUNCTION.

THE BRAKE LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNS ON. WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE THERE IS A VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE NOISE IS SCARY AND THE BRAKES WORK BUT NOT AS WELL. THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE TO STOP TURN THE TRUCK OFF THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT DISAPPEARS AND STARTS WORKING AGAIN. IT'S HARD TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE IT'S RANDOM. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE, I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE A BRAKE BOOSTER BUT CAN'T TELL FOR SURE BECAUSE WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP IT'S NORMAL.
