ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE CONCERNS WITH NISSAN VEHICLES LOSING POWER AND DYING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. WHEN CONSUMERS TAKE THE VEHICLES IN FOR DIAGNOSIS, THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS CANNOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. NISSAN SERVICE DEPT. STAFF GIVE UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSES SUCH AS "WE COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM." ALL THEY DO IS TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLES BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT EASILY DUPLICATED AS IT OCCURS RANDOMLY. I DID A SIMPLE SEARCH ON THE NISSAN FORUMS ONLINE AND QUICKLY DISCOVERED IT IS RELATED TO THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ("IPDM"). SURE ENOUGH, THEY REPLACED THE IPDM AT MY REQUEST AND NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VEHICLES YET THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PAST OR CURRENT RECALLS RELATED TO THIS. WHEN MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE IN A VEHICLE AND IT CANNOT SUSTAIN POWER AND DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DURING TRAFFIC, THIS MUST CERTAINLY BE AN ISSUE FOR CONSUMER SAFETY. NISSAN DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. WHEN CONSUMERS HAVE TO SELF-DIAGNOSIS THEIR VEHICLE PROBLEMS WHEN THOSE SAME PROBLEMS ARE READILY APPARENT TO CONSUMERS ON INTERNET FORUMS, NISSAN IS DROPPING THE BALL. IT'S NOT JUST ARMADAS BUT THE TITAN TRUCKS AS WELL. SYMPTOMS USUALLY INCLUDE A SHUDDERING EFFECT AND INSTANT LOSS OF POWER WITH THE VEHICLE STARTING RIGHT BACK UP AFTER THE IGNITION KEY IS TURNED ON AGAIN. MY NISSAN ARMADA LOST POWER ON AT LEAST FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS FROM AUGUST TO SEPTEMBER 2011. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHETHER IT BE STRAIT AHEAD DRIVING AND MAKING TURNS WHILE IN TURNING LANES; NEVER WHEN IT WAS SITTING IDLE. UNBELIEVABLE THAT SOMEONE HASN'T BEEN IN A CRASH OR DIED FROM SIMILAR ISSUES.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND AN ABNORMAL GRINDING AND PULSATION WAS EXHIBITED BY THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PROPERLY DECELERATE. THE CONTACT DROVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. UPON RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CONSTANT FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DRIVING FINE THEN AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, LIKE IT IS IN A HIGHER GEAR. AFTER REACHING 10MPH IT DRIVES PERFECTLY FINE. IF AFTER STOPPING YOU CUT THE ENGINE AND RESTART, IT IS FINE. REVERSE WORKS FINE. CODE P1757 COMES UP ON TEST. A BAD VALVE BODY. I'VE SEEN THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET MOSTLY ON NISSAN '05 MODELS, MAYBE SOME '06. VERY FRUSTRATING, NISSAN SAYS I NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. I'M THINKING A RECALL SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN ON OTHER YEAR MODELS AS MUCH. *TT

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA LE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED REPLACING. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED HAVING THE BRAKE BOOSTER FROM A LATER MODEL INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DRIVING OUR NISSAN ARMADA AT APPRX 15MPH AND WENT OVER A TREE BRANCH THAT COULD NOT BE AVOIDED THAT HAD FALLEN, WITH NO INJURY TO OUR VEHICLE BUT CAUSED A LARGE LEAK IN THE GAS TANK. NOW THE PUNCTURED GAS TANK HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE RISK OF THIS LARGE PUNCTURE IN THE TANK FROM SUCH A MINOR IMPACT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN EXPLOSION OF THE VEHICLE. FUEL TANKS SHOULD NOT BE MADE IN A MANNER THAT THEY ARE SO VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE BECAUSE IT IS A HAZARD. *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE ENTIRE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO COAST ACCROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC AT A SPEED OF 40 MILES PER HOUR. THERE WERE FOU PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE, TWO ADULTS AND TWO CHILDREN WHO WERE ALL EXTREMELY FRIGHTENED BY THE EXPERIENCE. AT LEAST ONE VEHICLE TRAVELING BEHIND OURS HAD TO COME TO A FAST HAULT JUST BARELY MISSING THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK. I HD THE VEHICLE TOWED BY AAA BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START OR CRACK UP. AFTER LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY PRIVATE MECHANIC FOR ONE DAY HE DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I THEN CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO EXPLAIN THE ISSUE AND TO SEE IF A RECALL HAD BEEN DONE IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE I WAS TOLD "NO" AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED BECAUSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS UP. I THEN ASKED IF THE VEHICLE HAD ANY RECENT RECALLS AND WAS TOLD NO. AFTER SPEAKING WITHMY MECHANIC AGAIN, HE TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL BUT IT WAS VOLUNTARY BY THE DEALER AND ONLY FOR NISSAN ARMADA MODELS 2005-2008, MY VEHICLE IS A 2004 BUT HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND COULD HAVE KILLED MY FAMILY.

SEAT BELTS, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT PROPERLY, GET CAUGHT IN DOOR AND TIGHTEN UP WITH ANY MOVEMENT, EVEN LOOKING LEFT TO RIGHT AT OPPOSING TRAFFIC. IT IS FREQUENTLY NECESSARY TO UN-HOOK SEAT BELT AND ADJUST WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A DANGEROUS EVENT. NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE SEAT BELTS WHEN THIS SAFETY ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION. THE SEAT BELTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED ONLY ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS - SINCE MINE IS NOT INCLUDED THEY WILL NOT CORRECT. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
FUEL SENDING UNIT DOES NOT ACCURATELY INDICATE THE FUEL LEVEL. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPT IN HENDERSON NEVADA WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW AND WITH EVERY VEHICLE SERVICE OR REPAIR SINCE - MOST RECENTLY IN JUNE 2011. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD IT WAS NORMAL DUE THE TYPE OF FUEL INDICATOR. NOW I SEE THERE ARE RECALLS ON OTHER NISSAN ARMADAS BUT DIFFERENT YEARS AND ON OTHER NISSAN MODELS. THIS COULD CREATE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF I AM UNABLE TO DETECT MY FUEL LEVEL ACCURATELY. NISSAN REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM IN THEIR VEHICLES AND WILL HONOR A REPLACEMENT ON SOME VEHICLES BUT NOT OTHERS. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
FUEL SENDING UNIT DOES NOT ACCURATELY INDICATE FUEL LEVEL- THIS WAS REPORTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW - ESTIMATED DATE ABOVE. WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM. NISSAN IS RECALLING ON OTHER MODELS AND ON THE ARMADA BUT ONLY ON SPECIFIC YEARS BUT NOT THE 2004. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF I RUN OUT OF GAS AND THE GAUGE IS STILL READING THAT THERE IS GAS. *KB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY, SUSPENSION:FRONT:MACPHERSON STRUT, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
I BOUGHT MY NISSAN ARMADA BRAND NEW IN 2007. IT IS A 2006 MODEL. THE VEHICLE IS VERY STYLISH BUT IT IS LIKE A DEATH TRAP. WHEN THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY RAN OUT @ 36,000 MILES, MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE. EVERY YEAR I HAVE HAD TO GET BRAKES PUT ON THE ARMADA AND IT HAS TO BE NISSAN BRAKES BECAUSE I TRIED OTHER BRAKES AND THEY SQUEAL AND GRIND. NOW I HAVE AN RATHER SCARY SITUATION. I WAS DRIVING 25MPH AND PUT MY BRAKES ON AND MY SUV STARTED NOSE DIVING IN THE FRONT END AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, NOT TO MENTION, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WAS CATCHING AND RELEASING ABOUT 4 TIMES, EACH TIME I WOULD BRAKE. I ALMOST HIT A CAR. I DROVE IT TO A MECHANIC RIGHT THEN, AND THEY RAN SCAN ON THE BRAKE CODE SINCE THE LIGHT CAME ON DURING THIS EVENT. THE CODE IS C1179. APPARENTLY THIS IS A DEALER ISSUE. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE ARMADA FROM AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE ABS SYSTEM. REALLY? THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE? I HAVE READ SEVERAL REVIEWS AND THEY ARE ARE HAVING ABS ISSUES. COME ON NISSAN, HOW MANY LIVES HAVE TO BE LOST OR INJURED BEFORE YOU RECALL THIS ABS PROBLEM? WHY WOULD THEY CHARGE CONSUMERS $120 FOR A COMPUTER UPDATE TO THE SYSTEM IF IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT... THE OTHER ISSUES ARE: DRIVERS SIDE SEAT IS RIPPING, POOR MATERIAL, THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR MAT IS SLIDING UNDER THE DRIVER PEDAL, THE BLIND SPOT IS A SEVERE ISSUE ON THE LEFT DRIVERS SIDE, PAINT CHIPS EASILY, BAD GAS MILEAGE, RADIATOR LEAKS, STRUT IS BAD ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SIDE, WHICH IS CAUSING IT TO LEAK ON THE PAVEMENT WHEN PARKED. *KB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
AT SLOW SPEED, BRAKES APPEAR TO FAIL. GRINDING NOISE WITH VERY MINIMAL BRAKING AS A RESULT. TURNING OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO CLEAR THE "TROUBLE". WOULD BE DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC SITUATION. RECURRING YET VERY OCCASIONAL PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHILE DRIVING AT ONLY 10 MPH COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKE FAILED TO WORK. A GRINDING AND SCRAPPING NOISE WAS MADE AND EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN THEN BRAKE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND BRAKES WORKED FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 7-10 TIMES SINCE THEN AT SPORADIC TIMES. THE LAST TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THIS IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE IF IT IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES AND ROTORS DONE TWICE. I CONTINUALLY TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO FIND SOMETHING WRONG AND REPAIR IT, EACH TIME I AM TOLD NOTHING CAN BE FOUND. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM!!! IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON DUE TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. RECEIVED WARRANTY NOTICE FROM NISSAN OF PROBLEM WITH CATALYTIC FAILURE, HOWEVER, MY MILEAGE PREVENTED FREE REPLACEMENT. MY STATE REQUIRE EMISSION TESTING EACH YEAR, THEREFORE, WITHOUT REPLACEMENT I WOULD BE UNABLE TO REGISTER MY TRUCK. MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW AND IS SERVICE ON A REGULAR BASIS. PAID FOR REPLACEMENT. *TR

PARKING BRAKE
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY BRAKE LIGHT APPEAR ON MY DASH BOARD. I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT WHEN MY I FOUND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO APPLY THE BRAKE. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND GRINDING COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY 2008 ARMADA. MY SUV STOPPED WITH IN INCHES OF REAR ENDING A CAR VERY SCARY. I PULLED MY TRUCK INTO A PARKING LOT, TURNED IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. THIS SEEMED TO RESET THE LIGHT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THIS WAS A KNOW PROBLEM AND THEY SAID IT WAS I NEED TO HAVE MY BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED AT A COST OF 820.00 PLUS TAX. THIS WOULD BE AN OUT OF COST EXPENSE BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IF THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WHY WON'T NISSAN RECALL THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2004 NISSAN ARMADA BRAKE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING,THIS IS AT RANDOM TIMES CAUSING US TO PANIC IN TRAFFIC.THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH NO FIX AND THIS IS VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE.AND THE ONLY SOLUTION IS HOPE THAT YOU GET TO A SAFE PLACE WITHOUT INJURIES OR DEATH OCCURRING. TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AND DRIVE UNTIL IT DOES IT AGAIN. SO TAKING A RISK EVERYDAY AND PRAYING THAT SOMETHING BE DONE WITH THIS IS LIKE AN AWAKENING NIGHTMARE WAITING TO HAPPEN JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN. THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2004 NISSAN ARMADA; I'VE BEEN MONITORING THESE REPORTS FOR YEARS AND FIND IT RIDICULOUS THAT NISSAN IS INCOMPETENT IN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE ADVENT OF THE ARMADA PLATFORM. I HAVE HAD THIS SAME ABS ISSUE SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEB 2005. ALTHOUGH THE ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED OR RESET BY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING, IT DOES NOTHING TO WARD OFF CLOSE CALLS IN TRAFFIC OR BUSY STREETS WITH PEDESTRIANS. I'VE HEARD EVERYTHING FROM REPLACING THE COMPUTER, BRAKE BOOSTER, PRESSURE EQUALIZATION VALVE...ETC. THESE ARE ALL BLIND ATTEMPTS TO DO SOMETHING IF NOT ANYTHING. THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED DEFINITELY AND THE REMEDY APPLIED UNILATERALLY ACROSS THE ARMADA LINE. THE GRINDING NOISE, I BELIEVE IS NOT AT THE ROTORS, IT IS A SPRING LIKE RESONANCE THAT COMES FROM THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE MILLISECOND PRESSURE REACTION TO EACH OF THE WHEELS. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE HITS A LARGE COIL SPRING WITH A HAMMER. I CAN'T TELL, BUT IS THIS PROBLEM LIMITED TO JUST THE 2004 MODELS? COME ON NISSAN...DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! *KB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
2004 NISSAN ARMADA. RIGHT EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED. VEHICLE PURCHASED 08/30/10 WITH 75,000 MILES. AT ABELOFF NISSAN IN BARTONSVILLE, PA. 09/07/2010 FOR BACK UP SENSOR AND CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT. NO OTHER ISSUES CITED. 03.08.2011, MILES: 83696 BACK AT ABELOFF NISSAN FOR ECM RELAY SAFETY RECALL. INSPECTION DONE AT THAT TIME. NO EXHAUST LEAKS CITED. 08/16/2011, MILES: 89312, VEHICLE AT LOCAL MECHANIC FOR STATE YEARLY INSPECTION. RIGHT EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED, LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN CRACKED FOR A LONG TIME. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IN 5616 MILES, THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKING APART. RESEARCH ONLINE HAS SHOWN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN/ARMADA EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. I WOULD LIKE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT MANIFOLDS REPLACED BY NISSAN AT NO COST. *KB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2005 NISSAN ARMADA- OUR PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE SAME AS COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH NO ANSWER IN SIGHT. WE WILL APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN WE ARE AT A SLOWER SPEED (<30MPH) AND THE BRAKES WILL FAIL. THEY PULSATE, GRIND, AND PUSH IN A SPONGEY FEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY MINIMAL BRAKING RESULTS. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR WITH OUR 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER SO YOU CAN IMAGINE OUR CONCERN. WE ARE PLANNING TO SELL THE CAR AND GET SOMETHING ELSE, BUT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE BRAKES FIXED FIRST. BUT FROM WHAT I SEE, NISSAN IS GOING TO DO NOTHING TO HELP AND THE GOVERNMENT MUST BE TURNING A BLIND EYE TO AN ISSUE THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK FOR NOT JUST OWNERS OF THESE ARMADAS, BUT FOR OTHER DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS WALKING THE STREETS AS WELL. *KB
