STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PLASTIC MOULD PANEL HOLDING THE AC OUTLETS, LIGHTS AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND RADIO VOLUME ON THE 2ND ROW AND 3RD ROW SEATS FELL OFF. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS SITTING BEHIND OTHERWISE THEY WILL GET HURT AND PROBABLY WILL CAUSE INJURY. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER PASSING THE SPEED REDUCING HUMP IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD . I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING AND SINCE THIS PART REQUIRES NO MAINTENANCE YOU CAN NEVER TELL WHEN THEY WILL FALL/DISLODGE FROM THEIR LOCATION.

CALLED AAA AS WE NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP. THE AUTO SHOP EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN THE COOLING SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION. REPAIR COSTS TOTALED $6000!!

MY FINISHER CONSOLE/REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE CRASHED DOWN FROM THE CEILING WHILE DRIVING. I AM RELIEVED THAT NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT AT THE TIME OR I'M SURE IT WOULD HAVE INJURED THE PASSENGER. IT WAS APPARENT THAT THIS PART WAS POORLY DESIGNED SINCE IT BROKE AT ALL 4 HOOKS. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART COST $1,028.04 (WITH TAX) AND AN ADDITIONAL $165.00 IN LABOR. NISSAN SHOULD BE RECALLING THE ARMADA FOR THIS DEFECT SINCE IT POSES A SAFETY RISK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
LEAVING WORK, I TRIED TO START MY CAR AND IT TRIED TO TURN OVER BUT STOPPED. THE DASH LIGHTS WENT DIM AND THE NEEDLE INDICATORS QUIVERED AND THE CAR QUIT TRYING TO START. I CLEANED THE BATTERY TERMINALS AND THE CAR CRANKED CONTINUOUSLY BUT WOULDNT TURN OVER. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHOSE COMPUTER COULDNT COMMUNICATE WITH THE VEHICLE COMPUTER, THEN A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (NO NISSAN DEALER IN MY TOWN) WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, MY COWORKER BROUGHT ME A COPY OF A RECALL BY NISSAN FOR HIS 2006 PATHFINDER FOR A ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. I HAD IT TOWED FOR A 3RD TIME (TOTAL OF $415.00) TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN HELENA, MT 65 MILES AWAY, THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD E.C.M. ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID "I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY"!!!! NOW IM OUT OF $1700.00 FOR A BAD ECM THAT I WAS NOT NEGLEGENT IN BREAKING, ON A VEHICLE LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD. I FEEL SINCE IT WAS A FAULTY PART, I SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. NOW IM IN MORE DEBT!!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE APPLYING BRAKES COMING TO A STOP SIGN THERE WAS A LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE. TRYING TO DRIVE WAS HARDLY POSSIBLE AS THE CAR WOULD STOP SHORT AND CAUSE THE NOISE ANYTIME THE BRAKES WERE EVEN LIGHTLY APPLIED. THE RED BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR DROVE FINE. THIS HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME IN DECEMBER. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS YEARS BUT NOT WITH A 2009. MOST COMPLAINTS POINTED TO A SOLENOID IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND A $800 REPAIR. REPAIRS OFTEN DON'T LAST AND ANOTHER $800 IS SPENT A YEAR, OR YEARS LATER. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ADDRESS OR COMPENSATE FOR. HAD THIS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE OR ONE OF MY CHILDREN I COULD VERY WELL SEE WHERE IT MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TAKE AN EXIT AND THE BRAKES FELT LIKE THEY JUST DIDN'T WORK WHICH RESULTED IN ME MISSING THE EXIT, STRIKING A MEDIAN WITH THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE, THEN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER. VERY SOON AFTER MY ACCIDENT, I RECEIVED A RE-CALL FROM NISSAN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THAT WOULD INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCE AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE AN INSPECTION TO BE DONE, TO RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A FAULTY BRAKE PEDAL. *TR
