SERVICE BRAKES
I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM TO EVERYONE ELSE. I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND WHEN I WENT TO STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE GROUND, THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND AND THE "PARKING BRAKE LIGHT" CAME ON. SINCE I ONLY HAD A COUPLE MILES TO GO I DROVE HOME AND EVERY TIME I WENT TO BRAKE THIS HAPPENED. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO TAKE IT TO THE BRAKE SHOP AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE ARMADA DROVE NORMAL. THE BRAKE GUYS CALLED AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE AND THAT'S WHEN I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND 100'S OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEIR ARMADAS AT ALL SPEEDS BUT THE CONSTANT IN ALL SEEMED TO BE 2004-2007 ARMADAS. SEEMS NO ONE (INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIPS COULD FIX THE ISSUE) AND THE ONLY CONSTANT FIX WAS TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME-UP TO A COUPLE YEARS. I HAVE OWNED MY ARMADA 5 YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE BUT WANT IT FIXED BECAUSE I FELT WORRIED GOING 35 MPH AND ONLY A COUPLE MILES IN DISTANCE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG IN TRAFFIC AT BETWEEN 30-40 MILES PER HOUR FOLLOWING ABOUT 3+ CAR LINKS BEHIND, I WENT TO MAKE AN EMERGENCE STOP AND HAD VERY DIMINISHED BRAKING POWER AND ENDED UP HITTING THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE (LUCKY NOT HITTING SOMEONE) AND TOOK IT TO MY NISSAN DEAL WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO BRAKE PROBLEMS. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND MY DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE EXPRESSED TO NISSAN USA THAT THE PROBLEM SOUNDS VERY FAMILIAR TO THE REPORTS IN THEIR OPEN RECALL "TEM AFFECTED: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER DATE ANNOUNCED: 10/21/2013 DESCRIPTION OF RECALL: NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. (NISSAN) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2013 TITAN AND ARMADA VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FEBRUARY 22, 2013, THROUGH MAY 3, 2013. THE AFFECTED VEHICLES HAVE A BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WHICH MAY INTERMITTENTLY REDUCE THE PRESSURE SUPPLIED TO THE FRONT BRAKES. ACTION NEEDED TO FIX IT: NISSAN HAS NOTIFIED OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 21, 2013. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261. " NISSAN SAYS MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED AND CANNOT TELL ME HOW THEY KNOW MY VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED. MY VEHICLE MANUFACTURE DATE IS DECEMBER 2012. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY, LIGHTS COMING ON DASH (VDC, SLIP, BRAKE) AND RESETTING ONCE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND ON AGAIN. SERVICE DOESN'T HAVE ANY FIX, HAVE SUGGESTED BRAKE BOOSTER (OVER $1000) BUT DIAGNOSTICS IS GOING TO BE $110 AND HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF INTERNET POSTS OF THIS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/WEBX/.F1E3686?DISPLAYRECENT AND HTTP://WWW.TOPCLASSACTIONS.COM/LAWSUIT-SETTLEMENTS/LAWSUIT-NEWS/1154--NISSAN-ARMADA-A-TITAN-TRUCK-INFINITY-QX56-CLASS-ACTION-LAWSUIT TO NAME A FEW. THERE ARE SUGGESTIONS FROM OTHER SERVICE NISSANS OF REPROGRAMMING PCM $100, BRAKE ROTORS AND DISC REPLACEMENTS $1000+, COMPUTER RESETS $100-200, MASTER CYLINDER SENSORS REPLACEMENT $400. MONEY MONEY MONEY ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE TAKING A STAB IN THE DARK OR JUST MAKING MONEY BECAUSE WE ARE SO CLUELESS AND BLIND AS THE CUSTOMER. THE CURRENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT POINTS AT A DELTA STOKE SENSOR FAULT THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT ALREADY AND I AM SURE YOU HAVE HAD 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BRAKING PROBLEM. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO YOU NEED TO PUSH A SAFETY RECALL WITH NISSAN REGARDING THEIR BRAKING PROBLEMS FROM EARLY VEHICLES? THEY REPLACED THE 2008 ROTORS TO A THICKER MORE CAPABLE TYPE WHICH SHOWS THEY HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE INADEQUATE MATERIALS (TOO SMALL BRAKES FOR TOO MUCH POWER AND WEIGHT) USED IN THE EARLY MODELS NOT SURE IF ANY DEATHS RECORDED BUT THE PUBLIC SAFETY HAS TO BE ADDRESSED WHEN SO MANY OF THESE EARLY NISSAN ARE HAVING BRAKE ISSUES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF PEOPLE RUNNING INTERSECTIONS, SCHOOL CROSSINGS, RUNNING OFF AT CORNERS, HIGHWAY CRASHES ON THESE BLOGS AND I AM HOPING TO DOCUMENT THIS COMPLAINT SHOULD (TOUCH WOOD) ANYTHING HAPPEN TO ME, MY KIDS OR A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD THIS OCCUR AGAIN. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE SO AT LEAST I HAVE EVIDENCE OF THIS. THANK YOU. *TR

AMAZING HOW MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE ARMADAS "WITHOUT WARNING" BRAKE FAILURE AND YET STILL NO INVESTIGATION? IS IT BECAUSE OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS VERY THING? ARE YOU NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE? I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THIS ORGANIZATION. DISAPPOINTING THAT YOU ARE STILL WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN TRAVELING BACK FROM WASHINGTON D.C. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER OF MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA AND NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHT WAS LIT UP ON MY DASH AREA. WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES I HAD VERY MINIMAL BRAKING POWER APPROXIMATELY 20-30% AT BEST. THIS BECAME A VERY SERIOUS AND SCARY SITUATION WHEN WE REALIZED WE WERE HEADING INTO A TRAFFIC JAM! I WAS ABLE TO RIDE ON THE SHOULDER AND APPLY THE BRAKES UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO STOP BUT BY NO MEANS DID I HAVE THE BRAKING CAPABILITY THAT WE SHOULD HAVE. THE BRAKING SYSTEM SEEMS TO FIX ITSELF WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTART THE CAR HOWEVER THIS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE DOESN'T PROVIDE A CODE WHEN IT IS RESTARTED. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO A SERVICE STATION THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A CODE TO GIVE TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I WAS ASTONISHED TO FIND HOW MANY NISSAN OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND HOW THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT REALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE OUR 1ST INCIDENT BACK IN 2009 AND IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY. I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET OF THE SAME ISSUE AND NISSANS SUPPOSED FIXES THAT END UP NOT WORKING AND COSTING PEOPLE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. I SIMPLY WANT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITHOUT FEAR OF MY BRAKES GOING OUT AND PUTTING MYSELF, CHILDREN AND OTHERS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. NISSAN NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION AND FIX THE PROBLEM ASAP BECAUSE IF HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF ON TO THE SHOULDER OR OFF INTO A GAS STATION WHEN THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING IT COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR POSSIBLY DEATH. I AM ABOUT READY TO GO TO THE NEWS WITH THIS STORY BECAUSE NISSAN IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM NOR IS THERE A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE. THIS CAN CAUSE GREAT INJURY OR WORSE DEATH IF NOT HANDLED CORRECTLY AND SOON. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING FELL ON THE ROOF OF MY TRUCK. MY CHILD POINTED TO THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE. IT HAD BROKEN OFF OF WHATEVER WAS SECURING IT AND IS NOW HANGING. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS. AN OVERHEAD CONSOLE THAT CAN FALL AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING IS DANGEROUS. MY CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WITH A STOP LIGHT WHAT WAS RED. THERE WERE 4 CARS AHEAD OF ME. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, MY FEET ALSO HIT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME. THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND ALSO PUSHED IT INTO ANOTHER CAR RESULTING IN A MULTI CAR ACCIDENT. MY CAR SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE BUT TWO OF THE OTHER CARS HAD SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS OCCURRED TO ME WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE OTHER TIME WAS A SIMILAR SITUATION WHERE I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. IN BOTH INCIDENTS, I WAS WEARING WESTERN STYLE BOOTS. BUT IT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED WITH WORK BOOTS. I BELIEVE THAT THE PLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL IS TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS ADJUSTABLE BRAKE PEDALS, WHICH COULD ALSO BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. *TR

APPROXIMATELY MIDDLE OF 2009, WAS PULLING UP TO STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WANT TO STOP AND MADE A HORRIBLE CRUNCH SOUND WITH PEDDLE ALL THE WAY DOWN THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STOPPED. CONTACTED NISSAN AND MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR A DEALER TO LOOK AT IT. OF COURSE IT DOESN'T DO THIS ALL THE TIME, BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING...THEY SUPPOSEDLY RESET THE SENSOR AND SAID THAT IT MAY IFS THE PROBLEM THEN AGAIN NOT...WENT ON A FORUM AND THERE IS SEVERAL OWNERS OF THIS SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE...SINCE THE IT HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES. I MADE A COMPLIANT WITH YOU PEOPLE AND NISSAN. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL...THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM. OUR VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND LOW MILES. WE BOUGHT FOR PULLING OUR TOY HAULER WHICH WE NOW DON'T FEEL SAFE TO PULL WITH THIS CONTINUOUS ISSUE...NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE AND DOES NOTHING BUT TRYING TO GET US TO PAY A 1,000.00 PLUS TO REPLACE THE BREAK BOOSTER AND SENSOR WITH NO PROMISES DO CURING THE PROBLEM.....PLEASE, WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A RECALL BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS FATAL ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED A VDC WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR CAUSED THE VDC LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REMEDY THE BRAKE SENSORS; THEREFORE, THE DEALER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE SECOND DEALER ALSO PREFERRED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BE PERFORMED. THE DEALER STATED THE BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSED THE VDC LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER BUT THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER STATED THE STEERING SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSE THE VDC LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER RESET THE STEERING SENSOR. THE VDC FAILURE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED ALL THREE DEFECTS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE VDC LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,500.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, STRUCTURE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE 109,000+ MILES ON MY 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED MY REAR WINDOW HAD CLOUDED AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS I SAW MY RPMS REV TO OVER 4000. I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL TO PREVENT IT FROM TRYING TO MAINTAIN MY SPEED OF 70 MPH. AT THAT POINT I LOST THE DRIVE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF AN EXIT WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. ONCE STOPPED I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ENGAGE ENOUGH FOR ME TO DRIVE IT INTO A SERVICE STATION PARKING LOT; IT DID. I LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL TO THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. I FOUND FLUID ACCUMULATED IN THE FRONT SKID PAN. BEING OUT OF WARRANTY I CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST COMPANY TO DISCUSS. NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME THEY KNOW OF NO PROBLEMS NISSAN IS HAVING LIKE THIS, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, OIL COOLER, AND RADIATOR.... APPROXIMATELY $7,000.00+. THE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST I CALLED IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE AS SOON AS I MENTIONED I LOST DRIVE POWER. HE TOLD ME I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER CRACKING ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING DAMAGE THE TWO NISSAN ARMADAS HE HAD RECENTLY REPAIRED. HE TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH NISSAN BEFORE DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE NISSAN HAD TO EXTEND TRANSMISSION WARRANTIES ON SEVERAL MODELS. THEY USE THE VIN # FOR LEGIBILITY. I CONTACTED NISSAN (1-800-NISSAN 1). THEY SAID MY VIN # WASN'T IN THE PROGRAM SO IT IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THEIR OTHER VEHICLES ARE HAVING. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? OTHER PROBLEMS FROM THE BEGINNING... 4 FUEL SENDING UNITS - STILL INACCURATE, SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR BACK CAMERA SYSTEM INCLUDING REPLACING IT - STILL BLANKING OUT OR SCROLLING OUT OF CONTROL, AND ROOF CONSOLE JUST DROPPING OFF. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, I NOTICE MY THAT MY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON AND AT THE SAME TIME I LOSS BRAKING POWER. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BUT, A GRINDING NOISE WAS BEING MADE AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF SEEMS TO RESET SOMETHING AND THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS AT 35 MPH BUT, IT HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 50. LUCKILY I'VE NOTICED IT BEFORE I GET INTO REAL HEAVY TRAFFIC BUT, I WORRY THAT I MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE THE CASE. I KNOW THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE SO WHY HASN'T NISSAN DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT? ARE THEY WAITING ON SOMEONE TO CRASH AND HURT OR WORSE KILL THEMSELVES? *TR
