I AM LEASING A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. CURRENTLY THERE ARE 3300 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND I ALREADY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 2 FOR BRAKE ISSUES. THERE IS A VERY A HARD BRAKE JUDDER ONCE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED WITH THE TRUCK GOING OVER 20 MILES PER HOUR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AT 1900 MILES AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL AND THEY WILL REPAIR IT WHEN I TAKE THE TRUCK IN FOR MAINTENANCE AT 3500 MILES. NOW I TOOK IT IN FOR MAINTENANCE WHEN THE PROBLEM IS WORSE AND THEY ARE SAYING THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO FIX THE TRUCK SINCE NISSAN HAS NOT SEND THEM. SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN EXCELLENT AND TRIED TO HELP WITH ALL MY QUESTIONS BUT IT DOESN OT LOOK LIKE IT IS UP TO THEM ANYMORE. THE TRUCK IS ALMOST IN THE UN-DRIVABLE CONDITION.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
I PURCHASED MY 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA IN DECEMBER 2004 WITH APPROX. 10 MILES. AROUND THE TURN OF 4,000 MILES, MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THIS SHAKING WAS SO BAD THAT THE TRUCK WAS UNABLE TO STOP OR STEER PROPERLY. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BOTH NARROWLY AVOIDED MAJOR POTENTIALLY INJURIOUS ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM. WE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONERNS, BUT WHEN THIS WAS BROUGHT UP TO THE DEALERSHIPS AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WE WERE ASSURED THERE "WAS NO SAFETY ISSUE". THE DEALERSHIP HAS ASSISTED WITH THE PROBLEM AND PROVIDED A "TEMPORARY FIX" TO THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER ALSO EXPLAINED THAT THIS TEMPORARY FIX WILL NOT LAST VERY LONG AND I'LL HAVE TO COME BACK WITHIN A FEW HUNDRED TO A THOUSAND MILES. THE DEALER ASSURED ME THAT THEY'D ATTEMPT TO GET THE HARDWARE TO REPLACE THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM, "INFERIOR ROTORS THAT ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE TRUCK", BUT UNTIL THEN I'LL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR MY INFERIOR PRODUCT. THE MOST DAMAGING STATEMENT MADE BY THE DEALER, AGAINST THE CORPORATION, WAS THAT SINCE SO MANY VEHICLES HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THE CORPORATION COULD NOT ORDER ENOUGH PARTS FAST ENOUGHT TO FIX THE FAULTY VEHICLES, "NISSAN MOTORS WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO GET A HARDWARE PACKAGE UNTIL YOU BRING THE VEHICLE IN THE THIRD TIME". THIS WAS ACTUAL GUIDANCE PUT OUT BY NISSAN MOTORS TO DEALERS TO AVOID A BACKLOG. THIS WAS CONFIRMED WHEN I SPOKE WITH NISSAN MOTORS NORTH AMERICA ON JUNE 09, 2005. I HAVE DOCUMENTED ALL OF THIS INFORMATION IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN IT. NO ONE IN MY FAMILY WAS INJURED AS A RESULT OF THIS, BUT IT IS PROBABLY ONLY BECAUSE WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE OUT OF SERVICE VOLUNTARILY.

THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED A SURGE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP RELIABLY. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS TWICE BUT THE SAME PROBLEM RECURS LESS THAN 3000 MILES LATER. THE HARDER THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE MORE VIOLENT THE SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. *NM

CAR BEGAN SHAKING WHEN BRAKES APPLIED AT 13,000 MILES. CALLED DEALER TO SEE IF THIS WAS UNCOMMON OR IF OTHER ARMADA DRIVERS WERE COMPLAINING AND TOLD THEY KNEW OF NO PROBLEM. TOOK CAR INTO LOCAL AUTO STORE AND WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE BAD AND TO TAKE BACK TO THE DEALER SINCE IT WAS NOT COMMON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN SO EARLY. DEALERSHIP TURNED ROTORS. SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED 3000 MILES LATER AND BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER AND ASKED FOR ROTORS NOT TO BE TURNED, BUT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY JUST TURNED THE ROTORS AGAIN. SEEMS THEY ARE JUST PUTTING A BANDAID UNTIL I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEM MYSELF. I HAVE KIDS AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE. I AM READY TO BRING IT IN AGAIN BECAUSE THE CAR IS SHAKING AGAIN. I HAVE OTHER ISSUES, BUT THEY ARE JUST BOTHERSOME. THIS BRAKE PROBLEM SCARES ME AND IT IS EXPENSIVE TO KEEP FIXING THIS WHEN IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. HELP!!!!

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
DT: THE CONTACT STATES THAT HE OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. HE HAS TAKING HIS VEHICLE INTO A MECHANIC THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A VIBRATION IN HIS BRAKES. HE WOULD HAVE A KIT PUT ON HIS BRAKES AND THEY TOLD HIM EACH TIME THAT HE WOULD NOT NEED TO HAVE IT FIXED ANYMORE HIS VEHICLE IS MESSED UP NOW WITH THE SAME BRAKING PROBLEM THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME. HE ONLY HAS 9500 MILES ON HIS VEHICLE. THE BRAKING PROBLEM CONSIST OF THE STEERING WHEEL JUMPING REALLY BAD WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES. THE VIBRATION OCCURS EVEN IN NORMAL BRAKING. THE DESIGN OF BRAKING SYSTEM IS ANTILOCK BRAKES. HE DOES HAVE THE REPAIR INVOICES FOR EACH FAILURE. THIS HAS CAME CLOSE TO CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *NM

I BOUGHT A NEW 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. ONLY 3 MONTHS AFTER DRIVING, I STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. IT STARTED WITH EXCESSIVE BRAKE DUST AND SQUEAKING BARKES. THIS TURNED INTO A GRINDING SOUND WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLYING WITHIN ANOTHER MONTH, EVENTUALLY LEADINGTHE BRAKE SHUDDER. THE STEARING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE AS I APPLIEID THE BRAKES. I TOOK THE CAR INTO NISSAN OF BAKERSFIELD TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED. THE EMPLOYEE WHO SCHEDULED MY APPOINTMENT INFORMED ME THAT ALL 2004 AND 2005 ARMADA AND TITANS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. SHE INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBELM WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM NOT BEING ABLE TO CARRY THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR, THERFORE THE BRAKES BUCKEL UNDER PRESSURE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR IN A MONTH LATER TO GET THE BRAKES SERVICED AGAIN, DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL:AUTOMATIC (ASC)
EVERYDAY DRIVING ON GOOD ROADS AND BAD ROADS AND WHILE HITTING BUMPS OR ANY IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD STEERING WHEEL MOVES SIDE TO SIDE. NOT THE WHOLE COLUMN JUST THE STEERING WHEEL. ONE TIME, WHILE HOLDING STEERING WHEEL NEAR BOTTOM WHEEL JILTED TO RIGHT AND CAUGHT MY HAND IN OPENING OF WHEEL TO WHERE I COULD NOT GAIN CONTROL RIGHT AWAY. THIS STEERING WHEEL SHAKE HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY, WHERE VEHICLE DOES MOVE TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT DEPENDING ON WHICH WHEEL HITS THE BUMP OR HOLE IN THE ROAD. DEALER SAID THIS IS NORMAL IN THE STEERING. THE STEERING IS JUST VERY LOOSE AND SLOPPY, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED, WHERE IT IS SUPPOSE TO GET TIGHTER. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER ON 2/19/05 FOR THE PROBLEM, AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING, ONLY THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND REPLACED THOSE PARTS. THEY SAID THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BUT MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE STEERING , AND A REPAIR OF BRAKING SYSTEM WILL NOT SOLVE THE STEERING PROBLEM, THAT WILL JUST SOLVE THE SHAKING PROBLEM WHEN I STEPPING ON THE BRAKE,S NOT WHILE I'M DRIVING ALONG ROADS. THERE IS 2,600 MILES ON THE VEHICLE ,AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE OR COMFORTABLE. IT ALWAYS FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE HAS A SHOCK OR STABILIZER PROBLEM. I HOPE THIS CAN BE LOOKED INTO SERIOUSLY BEFORE SOME ONE LOOSES CONTROL AND HAS A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH SERIOUS INJURY BEFORE THIS PROBLEM GETS RESOLVED. I AM WRITING THIS SO ALL 2005 ARMADA OWNERS WILL KNOW THERE ARE NOT ALONE OR NUTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT DOES EXIST REGARDLESS WHAT THE DEALERS SAY. THANK YOU.*AK

PURCHASED A NEW 2004 ARMADA IN AUGUST 2004. HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. I RECENTLY WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF BRAKE FAILURE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BODY WAS REPAIRED FOR THEM ,TO REPAIR THE BRAKES. MID CITY NISSAN IN CHICAGO INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE BODY SHOP DAMAGED THE BRAKES. THIS WAS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS IN THE ACCIDENT IN THE FIRST PLACE DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. . ALSO, THE INITIAL INSPECTION REVEALED, THAT PREVIOUS TO ANY BODY WORK DONE, THE ROTORS/ CALIPERS, AND THE PADS WERE DEFECTIVE. NISSAN WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, YET THEY DID NIT WANT TO ADMIT IT. IN ADDITION, THE EMPLOYEES OF MID CITY WERE EXTREMELY RUDE AND CONFRONTATIONAL. THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL IN ANY WAY. DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DID NOT ALWAYS ROLL UP, AND THE STEREO'S VOLUME FADED IN AND OUT. HOWEVER, MID CITY DID NOT WANT TO REPAIR THESE PROBLEMS EITHER BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR". THIS WAS THE WORST TRUCK I HAVE EVER OWNED, AND I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW POOR THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS. I AGREE WITH A PREVIOUS POST, I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT MY $40,000 TO TOYOTA. *AK

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE-- VEHICLE: 2004 NISSAN ARMADA LE THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP (DEALER) SEVERAL TIMES WITH BRAKE ISSUES. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED AND REPLACED AND TURNED AGAIN. NISSAN HAS NOT AS OF YET CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. ABOUT A WEEK AGO, I WAS MAKING A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. I "PUMPED" THE PEDAL AND GOT ENOUGH PEDAL TO BE ABLE TO STOP. ON EXAM OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM, I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS OVER HALF EMPTY. WHY? I DO NOT KNOW. I ADDED FLUID AND THE BRAKE PROBLEM APPEARED TO BE CORRECTED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND REQUESTED IT BE EXAMINED TO SEE IF THEY COULD DETERMINE IF THERE WAS A LEAK OF SOME KIND THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE FLUID LEVEL TO GET LOW. IN CHECKING OUT THE VEHICLE, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN WITH THE TECHNICIAN. THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE.*AK

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2004 NISSAN ARMADA IN FOR BRAKE SERVICE FOUR (4) TIMES NOW. 14737 MILES AND CAR IS ALMOST UNDRIVABLE. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME, AND YET NO FIX IS AVAILABLE. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS SUPPOSED TO CONTACT MY WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS. NO CALL. I AM LEAVING FOR A 3 WEEK VACATION AND MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DEALER SAYS MY ROTORS CAN'T BE TURNED AGAIN(THEY'VE BEEN TURNED 3 TIMES ALREADY). DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NO ROTORS AVAILABLE. DEALER TOLD ME THAT "I" COULD CHECK WITH OTHER DEALERS ABOUT THE AVAILIBLITY OF ROTORS. DEALER GM TOLD ME THAT HE WAS ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS WAITING FOR ROTORS HIMSELF.

BRAKES JUTTER AND NEED REPAIR EVERY 5,000 MILES. CAR HAS HAD ROTORS TURNS, PAD REPLACED, ROTORS REPLACED. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS NOTED WITH 5,000 MILES ON IT AND A REPAIR WAS MADE. A REPAIR WAS AGAIN MADE AT 11,000 MILES AT THAT TIME NEW ROTORS WERE INSTALLED AND ANOTHER REPAIR WAS MADE IN MARCH 2005 AT 16,000 MILES. I CALLED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD BY THEIR REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE FIXES WERE "COUNTER-MEASURES" AND THAT AT THIS TIME NO PERMANENT FIX HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND THERE IS NO DATE FOR A PERMANENT FIX TO THIS SAFETY PROBLEM.*AK

BRAKES DEVELOPED A BAD PROBLEM WITH VIBRATIONS WHEN BRAKING WHICH ACUTALLY GIGGLED THE STEERING WHEEL. PROBLEM WAS FIRST REPAIRED AT 5,000 MILES AND THEY SERVICED IT BY TURNING THE ROTORS. PROBLEM REOCCURED AT 11,000 MILES AND IT WAS SERVICED AGAIN. THIS TIME THE ROTORS COULD NOT BE TURNED AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, PAD KIT, AND BOOT KIT. AT 16,000 MILES THE PROBLEM ONCE AGAIN REOCCURED AND AT THE TIME THE SERVICE DEPT. SAID THAT NISSAN HAS NOT FOUND A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ONCE AGAIN TURNED MY ROTORS. I HAVE SINCE CALLED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD BY THEIR REPRESENTATIVE THAT NISSAN IS ONLY PROVIDING "COUNTER-MEAURES" AND HAS NOT FOUND A FIX AND HAS NO DATE WHEN ONE WILL BE AVAIL. I FEEL IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THESE PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURED WITHOUT EVENING TOWING ANYTHING AND I AM PURSUING THE LEMON LAW IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. IT IS UNREASONABLE TO EXPECT PEOPLE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WHICH HAS TO HAVE A MAJOR BREAK SERVICE PERFOMED EVERY 5,000 MILES JUST TO BE SOMEWHAT SAFE.*AK
