SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION
THE BRAKES EFFECTIVENESS IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED, BY AS MUCH AS 60%, AND IT MAKES A POPPING AND SPRING NOISE. WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, IT MAKES A GRINDING SOUND. YOU MUST PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF, PUMP THE BREAKS AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. YOU MAY HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF/ON SEVERAL TIMES. I'VE PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO VARIOUS MECHANICS TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. IT GOES ALONG FINE FOR AWHILE, AND THEN THE PROBLEM REPEATS ITSELF. IT'S INTERMITTENT AND VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO, THE SUSPENSION MAKES A POPPING NOISE WHEN YOU GO OVER A DIP IN THE ROAD OR MAKE A SHARP TURN. THESE ARE EVIDENTLY KNOWN DEFECTS AND ALTHOUGH I DID GET A RECALL NOTICE FROM NISSAN, WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN, THEY SPENT 20 MINUTES LOOKING AT IT AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I'M RECORDING THIS NOTIFICATION SO IT CAN BE ADDED TO THE MANY COMPLAINTS I'VE FOUND REGARDING BOTH OF THESE KNOWN ISSUES. AT WHAT POINT IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE FOR THE CONSUMERS?? IF THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, I'M IN!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS SLOWING DOWN GETTING READY TO ENTER A PARKING LOT. I STARTED TO PRESS THE BRAKES, AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH TURNS ON. I HEARD GRINDING AND THE VEHICLE KEEP MOVING BUT THE BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK. I PLACED THE FLASHERS ON. I THEN TURNED OFF THE ARMADA. I RESTARTED IT AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AFTER THAT. BUT NOW I'M SCARED, THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR MY FAMILY. WHAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME ON A FREEWAY? I CALLED CENTRAL HOUSTON NISSAN (HOUSTON, TX) AND THEY SEEMED TO BE BOTHERED WITH ME CALLING ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT. AND THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. AND NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT ANY FAULT? I HOPE THAT NO ONE GETS INJURED OR WORSE FROM THIS... [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED THE BRAKES SEIZED AND ABRUPTLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE OR THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT WHICH DID NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH SAFTY TO DEPRESS THE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO GIVE A DEFINATE DIAGNOSIS INDICATING THAT THE PART SPECIFICALLY NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INDICATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABS FAILURE AND TO HAVE THE AUTHORIZED DEALER REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V072000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,500. DYD

SERVICE BRAKES
THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. I COULD FEEL VIBRATIONS AND HEARD GRINDING WHENEVER I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. AFTER PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WHILE WAITING FOR ASSISTANCE, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. I PULLED OFF TO TEST THE BRAKES AT THIS POINT AND THEY WORKED FINE. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2014 WHILE DRIVING AT MINIMAL SPEED, BUT ONLY THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED. AGAIN, AFTER COASTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND THE BRAKES WERE OPERATIONAL. AFTER HAVING THE BRAKING SYSTEM CHECKED I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED CODE 1179. I CALLED NISSAN'S CORPORATE NUMBER TO REPORT THE INCIDENT AND WAS OFF HANDEDLY TOLD THAT ALL 2008 NISSAN ARMADAS ARE NOT EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING INSPECTED BY THE CENTRAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN HOUSTON TEXAS, AND I WILL REPORT THE FINDINGS TO THE NORTH AMERICAN NISSAN CORPORATION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH A GRINDING NOISE. NO BRAKES WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND BRAKE LIGHT LIT UP ON DASH. ONCE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, PROBLEM RESET ITSELF AND BRAKES WORKED LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO OTHER TIMES SINCE THEN WITH PROBLEM BEING RESOLVED BY TURNING CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO RESET. ONLY REMEDY NISSAN GIVES IS TAKE IT TO NEAREST DEALER WHEN THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THIS IS OVER AN HOUR AWAY FROM WHERE I LIVE, AND ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN. WITH NO BRAKES, THIS IS SOMETHING I AM NOT WILLING TO RISK. *TR

DURING NORMAL DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAS A BRAKE LIGHT THAT COMES ON AND THE CAR WILL NOT STOP PROPERLY. THE ABS IS ACTIVATED AND THE CAR MUST BE RESTARTED TO CLEAR THE BRAKE LIGHT AND FOR THE BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM. *TR

ROOF CONSOLE CRACKED AND IS HANGING FROM THE ROOF. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND FOR THEM TO REPLACE IT ITS GOING TO COST ME 3000 THAT IS ABSURD. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NISSANS PROBLEM FOR USING CHEAP BRACKETS TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO DO A RECALL ON THESE AND FIX THEM. I OWN 3 NISSAN CARS AND AFTER THIS NOT SURE I WANT A CAR THAT WILL FALL APART AND NO ONE WANTS TO MAKE THE EFFORT TO FIX IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY WIFE (ALONG WITH OUR 2 CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 5) WAS ATTEMPTING TO APPLY THE BRAKES AS SHE APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A TURN. THE SUV RESPONDED BY BEGINNING TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, MAKE VERY LOUD NOISES, & ULTIMATELY THE BRAKES FAILED. SHE OBSERVED THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. SHE WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON THE CURRENT ROAD & DOWNSHIFT TO REDUCE SPEED BEFORE PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE THEN TURNED THE SUV OFF & BACK ON. AFTER RE-IGNITION, THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED, AND THE BRAKES FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. WHEN SHE GOT HOME I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NOTICED THOUSANDS OF OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE, TO THE POINT OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CURRENTLY UNDERWAY IN CALIFORNIA. THIS IS AT LEAST THE 8TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS VEHICLE OVER THE COURSE OF 3 YEARS OF OWNING. THANKFULLY, IT HAS NOT RESULTED IN A CRASH, INJURY OR FATALITY TO DATE. THE SAME BRAKE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS UP TO 70MPH. EVERY INCIDENT OCCURS SIMILARLY, WITH SHAKING, NOISE, AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATION. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR RANDOMLY. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE AND THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION!! *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT REGARDING THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE IN MY 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. INITIALLY I RAISED CONCERN ABOUT THE CONSOLE BEING LOOSE. THIS MORNING THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL ONTO MY CHILD.I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT WHY NO RECALL WAS NEVER ISSUED WHEN THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE GOTTEN THE RUNAROUND FROM THEM. I TOOK MY ARMADA TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING TO REPAIR THE CONSOLE. I WAS TOLD THERE IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE CONSOLE IS SECURED BY PLASTIC BRACKETS THAT EVENTUALLY BREAK. THE CONSOLE CANNOT BE REPAIRED, ONLY REPLACED. TO REPLACE THE CONSOLE IS $2900. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR NISSAN'S USE OF SUBPAR PARTS. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED TO ADDRESS THIS. FORTUNATELY MY CHILD WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING ON A CROWDED FREEWAY IN HOUSTON. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN A SLOW DOWN WAS ATTEMPTED, THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD NOISE AND THE PEDAL WAS SOFT. BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS WAS SEVERELY REDUCED. WE WERE ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AND STOP. ONCE STOPPED, WE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN RESTARTED IT. ONCE RESTARTED, THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY THE 5TH TIME THAT THE SAME HAS HAPPENED. OTHER TIMES, HAVE HAPPENED RARELY, SEVERAL MONTHS APART. UPON CALLING NISSAN, THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT NOT FOR CERTAIN. *TR

I'VE NOTICED THE VEHICLE STEERING AND BRAKES SHAKING UPON APPLYING WHILE STOPPING FOR SIGNAL LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. IT WILL ALSO HAPPEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IF ANOTHER CAR PULLS OVER IN FRONT OF ME AND I APPLY THE BRAKES. THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY - I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE AT 35 MPH. I LOOKED AT MY SPEEDOMETER TO DOUBLE CHECK MY SPEED AND NOTICED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. I LOOKED AT MY ER BRAKE AND IT WAS NOT ENGAGED. WHEN I APPLIED MY FOOT BRAKE TO STOP AT A SIGNAL LIGHT, THE CAR SHOOK, THE BRAKES MADE A GRINDING NOISE, AND MADE AN ELECTRONIC/SPRING TYPE NOISE. THE PEDAL LOWERED ITSELF ABOUT ANOTHER 1/3 DISTANCE BEFORE STOPPING. MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT. WHAT IF I COULDN'T HAVE STOP AT THE SCHOOL CROSSING ZONE AND HAD HIT A CHILD? (WHAT WOULD NISSAN HAVE SAID TO THAT?) I DROVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE AND PARKED IN FRONT ON LEVEL GROUND. SINCE I WAS FROM OUT OF TOWN, WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL FIRESTONE. THE FIRESTONE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES OR PADS. SEEMS LIKE TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT, RESET IT. THE FIRESTONE DEALER STATED IT HAD TO BE ELECTRONIC. I'VE READ THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOMETIME. IF THE POWERS THAT BE CAN GET NISSAN TO RECALL THE GAUGE INSIDE THE FUEL TANK AND THE PIN ON THE BRAKES - THEN WHY CANNOT NISSAN BE FORCED TO CORRECT THIS MORE SERIOUS BRAKE PROBLEM BEFORE MORE ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS HAPPEN. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM PICKING MY DAUGHTER UP FORM SCHOOL. I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING FELL ON THE ROOF OF MY TRUCK. MY DAUGHTER SCREAMED MOMMY! I TURNED AROUND IN A PANIC TO SEE MY OVERHEAD CONSOLE HANGING AND IN PIECES. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO MY CRYING DAUGHTER WHO WAS SCRATCHED BY ONE OF THE PIECES THAT FELL AND BROKE BY HITTING THE MIDDLE CONSOLE. THE PLASTIC CONSOLE WAS SHATTERED AND SOME OF THE PLASTIC STILL REMAINS AROUND THE SCREWS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MORNING TO HAVE THEM REPAIR IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT FOR SURE THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE. TO MY SURPRISE THE DEALER TOLD ME IT'S NOT A RECALL ITEM AND THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT REACHED THE RECALL COMPLAINT RATIO. THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND LABOR COST OF $2,500! I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS AND TO MY SATISFACTION I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. IT'S A FACT THAT NISSAN 2008 NISSAN ARMADA AND TITAN VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS A HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING. THIS MATTER SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF ALL CONSOLES FREE OF CHARGE AND A NOTICE TO ALL OWNERS STATING (WARNING / CAUTION ADVISORY) POTENTIAL HAZARD / RISK WHILE DRIVING YOUR CONSOLE MAY FALL OR CRACK INTO PIECES WITHOUT REASON!

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE WAY FROM WORK ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 60 MILES. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT HALF WAY HOME. WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN AT THE EXIT, THE BRAKES STARTED GRINDING AND MAKING A ROUGH SOUND AND SHAKING . I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET IT TO STOP. I PARKED THE CAR ON A STREET AND TURNED IT OFF. MY HUSBAND CAME TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, BUT ONCE THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT TO DUPLICATE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES AS WELL. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN , IRONICALLY INTO AN AUTO PARTS STORE , AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT AS IF IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE PEDAL VIBRATED AS IF THE ABS WAS KICKING IN BUT ALSO MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE ARMADA FINALLY ROLLED TO A COMPLETE STOP , I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SO I TURNED IT OFF. I POPPED THE HOOD CHECKED THE FLUIDS AND DID A VISUAL CHECK OF THE BREAKS AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND TO MY SURPRISE IT FIXED ITSELF. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO ROBBINS NISSAN WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND I WAS ADVISED NOTHING COULD BE SINCE THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. EVER SINCE THEN, THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 3 MONTHS. I TOOK IT IN TWO MORE TIMES BUT NOTHING COULD BE DONE SINCE I DIDN'T TAKE IT IN WITH THE BRAKES NOT WORKING. SO BASICALLY I'M SUPPOSE TO DRIVE IT IN TO THE DEALER WITH NO BREAKS AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ON WHICH NO IS GOING TO ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE DRIVING WITH THEIR FAMILY AS I WAS. OR IF YOU'RE TRAVELING AND THERE ISN'T A DEALER AROUND. *TR

I WAS STOPPED IN THE CARPOOL LANE AT MY SON'S SCHOOL; IN PARK. CARPOOL LANE BEGAN TO MOVE SO I PLACED MY CAR IN GEAR. SLOWLY MOVING UP AND I HEARD A NOISE. STARTLED, PLACED MY CAR BACK IN PARK. THEN NOTICED THAT MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON AS WELL AS MY SLIP & VDC LIGHTS. PICKED-UP MY SON AND I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL AND HEADED TO A STOP LIGHT. I FOUND THAT I LITERALLY HAD TO STAND ON MY BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. IT WAS NOT AN IMMEDIATE STOP, MORE OF A ROLLING STOP AND IT FELT AS THOUGH MY BRAKE WAS BEING PUSHED ALL THE WAY INTO THE ENGINE!!! NOT THE SAFEST OF SITUATIONS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE CAR IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE UNTIL WE CAN GET SOME AFFIRMATIVE ANSWERS. *TR
