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

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AN AWFUL SPONGY CRUNCHING NOISE. BRAKES DON'T WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I BROUGHT IT TO THE NISSAN THOUSAND OAKS DEALER (WHERE I BOUGHT IT) AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND NO CODE SHOWED UP. EACH TIME I HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON TO RESET THE BRAKE LIGHT. NISSAN TOLD ME TO "BRING IT IN" THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS... UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ONCE THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP SEVERAL TIMES AT THE DEALER WITH NO FIX. HOWEVER, NOW I'M SEEING A LOT MORE PEOPLE ONLINE POSTING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND GETTING NO RESOLUTION FROM NISSAN. THIS IS THE BRAKES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE... *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, AS I TRIED TO BRAKE MY BRAKES FAILED AND THE FOOT PETAL HIT THE FLOOR MAKING A LOUD SHUTTERING SOUND. SUDDENLY MY BRAKES KICKED BACK IN BUT CONTINUED TO MAKE LOUD SOUNDS. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON THE LIGHT RESET AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I AM TERRIFIED. I HAVE TAKEN MY ARMADA TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY BELIEVE ITS ASSOCIATED WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE C1179 "DELTA STROKE SENSOR" BUT HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HELP ME. PLEASE HELP! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING, THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND WHEN I TRY TO BRAKE, THE BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING/GROANING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT BRAKE PROPERLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IT IS ALWAYS SPORADIC. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF, SOMETHING RESETS AND IT WON'T DO IT AGAIN. SO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME AND IT AFFECTS THE BRAKES WORKING. IF THERE IS A CRASH IN THE FUTURE, IT WILL BE THE FAULT OF NISSAN BECAUSE I AM DOCUMENTING EVERYTHING, INCLUDING THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES
THE INITIAL INCIDENT IN 2006 OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES LOST POWER ALONG WITH GIVING A SPRING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THIS FAILURE TO STOP- LIKE ACTIVITY HAS CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED BRAKING POWER RETURNS TO NORMAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF. INITIALLY THE ACTIVITY OCCURRED AT LOW SPEEDS AND HAS MORE RECENTLY INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AND HAS OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE THAT HAS OCCURRED AS MANY TIMES AS THREE TIMES IN A WEEK, PUTTING MYSELF AND CHILD IN DANGER. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I STARTED TO HEAR A METAL ON METAL SQUEALING NOISE. MY PARKING BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE THINKING I HAD FORGOTTEN TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE. HOWEVER, IT DIDN'T WORK. AFTER DRIVING AGAIN I COULDN'T USE THE BRAKES SO I CALLED THE TOW AND WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I WAS USING BEFORE. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS ALMOST $1000! I ASKED IF IT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD YES AND THAT I NEEDED TO FIX IT BEFORE IT CAUSED A FATALITY. OF COURSE THIS SCARED ME AND I TOLD THEM TO FIX WHATEVER WAS NEEDED. TWENTY-TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS LATER AND A FEW MONTHS AND I'M LOOKING AT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENING AGAIN. WHEN I NOTIFIED NISSAN THEY HAVE BEEN TOO "BUSY" AND SAID TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. UM, EXCUSE ME I CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR! THE NONCHALANT ATTITUDE, COUPLED WITH THE SUBPAR RESOLUTION, HAS ME FURIOUS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY OR THINK. I FEEL HELPLESS. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE, IT'S COMPLETELY PAID OFF AND I DON'T HAVE ROOM TO GET ANOTHER ONE. I'M WITH THE OTHER POSTS HERE THAT NISSAN SHOULD VALUE OUR PATRONAGE AND LOOK INTO A FIX FOR THIS. IF THAT HAPPENS TO BE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE THEN SO BE IT. BUT, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE SOON BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLE STARTED FINE AS USUAL, BUT AS WE WERE TAKING OFF TO DRIVE OUT DRIVEWAY. THE ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART EVEN THOUGH STARTER WAS TURNING. THE FUEL GAUGE WAS SHOWING A QUARTER OF A TANK FUEL LEVEL. I CALLED NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID IT MAY BE FUEL SENDING UNIT. PUT ABOUT 4 GALLONS OF GAS IN GAS TANK AND ENGINE STARTED, BUT STILL SHOWED QUARTER OF A TANK ON FUEL GAUGE. THE FUEL TANK WAS EVIDENTLY EMPTY EVEN THOUGH GAUGE WAS SHOWING IT HAD FUEL IN TANK. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. NISSAN DEALER SAYS OUR VEHICLE VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL, BUT IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLED VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I WAS IN A SCHOOL ZONE PICKING UP MY DAYCARE KIDS. AS SOON AS I TOOK OFF THE PARKING BRAKE AND PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT SHOWED THE BRAKE LIGHT ON. CONFUSED I CHECKED EVERYTHING AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE HOME. AS I REACHED THE STOP SIGN WITH A CROSSING GUARD ESCORTING KIDS ACROSS I REALLY HAD TO PUSH DOWN ON THE BRAKE AND A LOUD CRUNCHING LIKE METAL TO METAL AND SHAKING OCCURRED. IT SCARED THE DAY LIGHTS OUT OF ME! I TURNED THE CORNER PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE TOOK A DEEP BREATH. I TOOK THE STREETS HOME AND DROVE VERY SLOW PRAYING THAT WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP SIGN THAT MY BRAKES WOULD WORK. I GET TO MY OTHER STOP TO PICK UP MY CHILD FROM HER BUS STOP. COMING TO THE STOP STILL HAVE ALL THE GRINDING NOISE AND PRAYING IT WILL STOP. I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND WAITED FOR THE BUS. I WAIT FOR ALL THE KIDS TO CROSS AND COMPLETELY CLEAR THE AREA. I STARED MY CAR AND WHAT I COULDN'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I CAME HOME CALLED MY HUSBAND HE CALLED THE DEALER AND I BEGAN TO RESEARCH. TO MY DISBELIEF THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE CODE:C1179 DELTA SENSOR AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. MOST PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF PURCHASE A LARGE VEHICLE BECAUSE WE HAVE MULTIPLE PEOPLE TO DRIVE AROUND, LIKE MY KIDS I WATCH RANGING FROM 1-12YRS. THIS FLOORS ME! I WAS AT A CROSS WALK WHEN THIS HAPPENED WITH KIDS CROSSING WHAT IF I COULDN'T STOP I WOULD OF HIT THE KIDS!!!! WHAT IF I CRASHED I HAD THREE OTHER KIDS THAT I WATCHED IN THE CAR WITH ME. IT IS DISGUSTING TO ME THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS!! TO MY FEAR SOMETHING WILL FATALLY HAPPEN FOR YOU GUYS TO DO SOMETHING. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAPPENS!!!. OH AND NOT TO MENTION YOU HAVE NO WARNING WHEN THIS OCCURS AND WHEN U TURN OFF YOUR CAR ITS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. COME TO FIND OUT IT RESETS THE CODE. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE READING OTHERS IT HAPPENS AGAIN! RECALL!!! *TR

MY SON WAS DRIVING HOME ONE NIGHT (20 MPH) AND SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, THERE WAS A CLUNKING NOISE, AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. HE LEFT ME A NOTE TELLING ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE MORNING - "SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE BRAKES". WHEN MY HUSBAND WENT TO CHECK IT IN THE MORNING THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH BRAKES. WE THOUGHT HE WAS CRAZY.TWO WEEKS LATER I WAS PULLING INTO PARKING LOT (2MPH), THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, CLUNKING NOISE, BRAKES DID NOT WORK.AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND READING THESE COMPLAINTS AND SEEING THAT ONCE YOU RESTART THE CAR THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY, I WENT OUT TO START THE CAR AND EVERYTHING WORKED FINE. NOW 2 WEEKS LATER, BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY LAST NIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, CLUNKING NOISE AND BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE CAR AND HE WAS UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. I CALLED A DISTRICT MANAGER AT CARMAX AND HE, TOO, WAS UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM. HAPPENING 3 TIMES IN 5 WEEKS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I CAN NOT LET MY CHILDREN DRIVE THE CAR. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. CAN'T BELIEVE NISSAN WON'T RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. I MAY GET AN ATTORNEY. CLASS ACTION? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PROBLEM WITH CAR ACCELERATING SPONTANEOUSLY WHEN BRAKE BOOSTER SENSOR FAILS AT RANDOM TIMES. INITIAL PROBLEM WITH BRAKE PEDDLE GOING SOFT AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM GETS ACTIVATED WHEN BRAKING TRYING TO DO STANDARD BRAKING. THE BRAKE LIGHT TURNS ON, THE PEDDLE GOES TO THE FLOOR, BRAKES ARE NOT NORMAL AND VERY TOUCHY AND THE CAR SHUDDERS VICIOUSLY TO A STOP WHILE. LOUD NOISE IS SCARY WHILE BRAKES NOT FIRING IN THE USUAL PEDDLE POSITION AND FEEL LIKE MUSH. NOW IN JANUARY A NEW SITUATION STARTED OCCURRING WHEN THE BRAKE BOOSTER WOULD FAIL IS THAT THE ARMADA WOULD ALSO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE ON PRESSING THE BRAKE. I WENT TO STOP MY ARMADA'S AND THE ENGINE SURGED ITS RPMS WHILE THE ANTI-LOCK RELAYS WERE FIRING. I STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE WITH MY EVERY MUSCLE IN MY BODY TO TRY TO GET THE NISSAN ARMADA TO STOP. I COULD NOT SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL BECAUSE THE SHIFTING LOCK SEEMED TO ENGAGED. I ENDED UP TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND WAS ABLE TO STOP. I CALLED NISSAN AMERICA TO REPORT THIS ISSUE. ALSO STOPPED BY THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE MANAGE INFORMED ME THAT THE BRAKING ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE DELTA SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND WAS A KNOW ISSUE BUT THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HEARD ABOUT THE SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEED AND THAT HE ONLY HAD HEARD ABOUT THE SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT HIGHER SPEEDS. HE SAID THIS WAS CAUSED ALSO BY THE DELTA SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I THINK I UNDERSTOOD HIM IN SAYING THAT WHEN THIS SENSOR FAILS IT ALLOWS THE BOOSTER TO INJECT AIR INTO THE INTAKE THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. I REPLACED MY BRAKE BOOSTER YESTERDAY TO FIND TODAY THAT MY ARMADA HAS THE SAME DEADLY ISSUE! PLEASE HAVE NISSAN FIX THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE LOUD EXHAUST NOISE AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPORTS OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM ONLINE. I HAVE JUST FAILED MY STATE SAFETY INSPECTION IN MISSOURI AND FOUND OUT THAT THE LOUD NOISE WAS BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. BOTH ARE BROKEN IN THE SAME PLACE. NISSAN IS UNWILLING TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE FROM THE START.I BELIEVE IT IS UNETHICAL FOR NISSAN TO KNOWINGLY NOT OFFER REPLACEMENTS. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN AT RISK FOR YEARS AND NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS TO TAKE ACTION? HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE YOU SEEN? *TR

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK WAS DONE, I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE HAD RUN OUT OF GAS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM HAD BEEN UNDER RECALL BY NISSAN.
