VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IS NOT SECURE AGAINST THE HEAD LINER WHEN IN THE UP POSITION. ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT, THE VISOR MOVES QUITE A BIT. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH IT MAY DROP DOWN IN FRONT OF THE OPERATOR IF A LARGE ENOUGH BUMP IN THE PAVEMENT IS ENCOUNTERED. THE VISOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND IT IS STILL NECESSARY TO INSERT A FOLDED NAPKIN/CLOTH BETWEEN THE VISOR AND THE HEADLINER TO KEEP IT STATIONARY. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE HAS 1375 MILES ON IT. I FIRST NOTICED THE VISOR MOVEMENT ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP (AFTER PURCHASING IT (NEW)). I'M CONCERNED THE CONSTANT MOVEMENT WILL EVENTUALLY ALLOW THE VISOR TO (UNEXPECTEDLY) DROP DOWN FROM THE UP POSITION OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF HIM/HER. I AM WORKING WITH NISSAN TO GET THE PROBLEM CORRECTED. THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES
DOESN'T MATTER THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE, BRAKES TEND TO PRESS TO THE FLOOR, GRINDING NOISE AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO PULL OVER THE VEHICLE, TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART IT. IT RANDOMLY HAPPENS, BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF AND WHEN I TOW OR AM ON THE HIGHWAY, I DON'T WON'T MY BRAKES TO NOT WORK. COULD KILL ME...

ORIGINAL ODI #10745373 - 11/19/2010 STILL UNRESOLVED. REVIEW OF NC DMV - 340 (REV.3/2001) WITH INSURANCE COMPANY, INSURANCE AFFILIATED COLLISION REPAIR SHOP AND NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA CONFIRMED ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF ROTOR/ BRAKE DAMAGE DURING REPAIRS. THE COLLISION REPAIR SHOP AND (NISSAN)MODERN SERVICE MGR. BOTH INTERNALLY NOTATED THE ISSUE UNTIL THE CLAIM WAS CONFIRMED BY A NISSAN SERVICE TECH (5936) ON 12/21/2010 DURING A COLLISION RE-INSPECTION. FRONT/ REAR BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE ROTOR ISSUE CONFIRMED DURING 2010 REPAIRS. BRAKE PADS WERE NOT WORN TO REQUIRE REPLACEMENT DURING INSPECTIONS TO ADDRESS CONCERNS. THE NISSAN EDR ISSUE HAS REMAINED UNADDRESSED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY WHILE NISSAN HAS PROVIDED ALL WARRANTY/ RECALL SERVICES FOR THE VEHICLE FROM 2006 TO THE PRESENT.

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
MY WIFE AND I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. DURING MY WIFE'S COMMUTE HOME THE INSIDE CONTROL PANEL FEEL FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING HER TO ALMOST COLLIDE WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT THE REASON IT FELL WAS DUE TO THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HELD IT UP WERE BRITTLE FROM EXTREME HEAT EXPOSURE. THEIR IS NO BARRIER PROTECTION FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR TO THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HOLD IT. THIS CONSOLE WEIGHS ABOUT 25-30 POUNDS, AND COULD HURT ANY PASSENGERS IN THE MIDDLE OR BACK OF THE VEHICLE. IF INSULATION WAS INSTALLED IN BETWEEN THE VEHICLE'S SHELL AND THE INTERIOR OF THE ROOF THIS COULD BE AVOIDED. THIS WOULD AVOID EXTREME HEAT FROM HURTING THE INTEGRITY OF THE PLASTIC CLIPS, OR METAL CLIPS SHOULD BE USED.

SERVICE BRAKES
AFTER PICKING MY KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL, I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY, AND AS I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES THEY BEGAN GRINDING LOUDLY, THE VEHICLE SEIZED UP, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. HOWEVER, UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST YEAR, AND I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I ALSO KNOW THAT IF I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, AND RESTART IT THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE, "CODE-WISE." EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, I HAVE BEEN SLOWING DOWN EITHER, ON THE INTERSTATE, OR EXITING IT, GOING AT LEAST 60MPH. I HAVE 6 CHILDREN, AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. THEY HAVE BEEN WITH ME 2 OUT OF THE 3 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. HAD I NEEDED TO MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE TURNOUT MIGHT HAVE YIELDED IN INJURY, OR WORSE, FOR MULTIPLE PEOPLE. I HAVE NEW BRAKES AND ROTARS, MY BRAKE LINES HAVE NO LEAKS, AND IT HAS BEEN SERVICED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WITH A FULL DIAGNOSTIC CHECK UP. THEY FIXED OLDER RECALLS AND CHANGED MY BELTS. THERE ARE CLEARLY ENOUGH PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT YEAR MODEL, AT DIFFERENT MILAGES, IN AND OUT OF WARRANTY, TO WARRANT THIS AS A DEFECT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS OF THIS VEHICLE, AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROAD. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!

WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH I BEGAN TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES WHEN A GRINDING NOISE SUDDENLY OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AS NORMAL. THE BRAKE LIGHTS, T/C LIGHT POPPED UP ON THE DASH BOARD. I ACCELERATED AGAIN TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AS I PRESSED THE BRAKES AGAIN THE GRINDING NOISE OCCURRED AND NO MATTER HOW HARD U PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP UNTIL IT LOST MOVING MOMENTUM. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF AND THE BRAKES OPERATED NORMAL UNTIL A FEW WEEKS LATER IT WOULD REOCCUR AND NOW HAS BECOME A RANDOMLY REPETITIVE ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SUSPENSION
I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH BRAKES AND LIGHTS COMING ON THAT SAYS VDO ,ANTILOCK ETC: WHEN DRIVING THE SUV AT LOWER SPEEDS AND YOU TRY TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE WHOLE FRONT END STARTS SHAKING AND GRINDING AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. I HAVE REPLACED BRAKES, ROTORS , WHEEL HUB BEARINGS AND STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS SCARY WHEN YOU CAN'T STOP A 7,000LB VEHICLE! I AM IN FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT . I HAVE READ OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMETIMES WHEN RUNNING HYW SPEEDS A LOT OF LIGHTS COME ON AND DINGERS AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE ARMADA. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT NISSAN IS GONNA DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM CAUSE IT SEEMS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THESE ISSUES. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE RIGHT REAR HUB ASSEMBLY 2 TIMES AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP. I FEEL NISSAN DOES NOT WANT ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL . SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM NISSAN TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. I PRAY THEY WILL RECOGNIZE AND SEE TO IT THAT THESE THINGS ARE FIXED AND HELP US THE CONSUMER FEEL SAFE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE 3 YOUNG CHILDREN WHO RIDE IN THIS ARMADA. PLEASE HELP !!
