FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NISSAN ARMADA AIR FILTER HOUSING RECALL... OVER THE PASS COUPLE OF YEARS, I'VE NOTICE THAT OUR TRUCK WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. WE'D START IT BACK UP, AND CONTINUE DRIVING AND IT WOULD SHUT OFF AGAIN. AFTER CHECKING THE AIR FILTER UNDER THE HOOD, I DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS DIRTY. SO, I REPLACED THE FILTER AND IT WOULD BE GOOD. HOWEVER, AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF DRIVING IT WILL REPEAT THE SAME THING OF JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. RECENTLY, IT HAS BEEN SHUTTING DOWN MORE OFTEN. SO, AFTER SOME LOOKING UNDERNEATH THE HOOD, I WENT BACK TO THE AIR FILTER HOUSING BOX AND DISCOVERED THAT THE AIR FILTER HOUSING BOX DOES NOT SEAL PROPERLY. AS A RESULT OF THE AIR FILTER HOUSING NOT SEALING PROPERLY, AIR SEEPS IN THROWING OFF THE AIR TO GAS RATIO MIXTURE AND IT SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE, TURNING OFF THE CAR IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING. I REPORTED THIS TOO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY CLEANED THE AIR FILTER BOX AND SAID THAT SHOULD FIX IT. HOWEVER, AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, MY TRUCK LITERALLY SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING FIVE (5) TIMES. I THEN WENT BACK UNDER THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK, READJUSTED THE AIR FILTER HOUSING IN AN ATTEMPT TO SEAL IT TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AND MY TRUCK DID NOT SHUT DOWN AT ALL. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE THAT I BELIEVE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. I'VE TALKED TO OTHER NISSAN OWNERS THEY HAVE REPORTED THE SAME THING. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS REAL SOON IN THE PICTURE THAT I HAVE ATTACHED TO THIS FILE, YOU CAN SEE THE ORANGE PIECE FROM THE FILTER THAT IS STICKING OUT FROM THE HOUSING. AGAIN, THROUGH DRIVING AND HITTING BUMPS IN THE ROAD, THE HOUSING SEPARATES AND ALLOW MORE AIR TO SEEP INTO HOUSING AND THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF. AGAIN, ONCE THE HOUSING IS FIXED IN PLACE AGAIN, THE TRUCK IS DRIVABLE UNTIL THE HOUSING SEPARATES AGAIN. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND STALLED OUT. I WAS IN FEAR FOR MY FAMILIES LIFE AND HAD MY WIFE STEER THE CAR WHILE I PUSHED IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER. A PASSER BYE IN A PICK UP HAD A CAN OF GAS AND IT WAS ENOUGH TO GET ME TO A GAS STATION. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2005 ARMADA FOR THE FUEL SENDING SENSOR BUT NOT ON THE 2004. THIS IS APPARENTLY A LOT OF 2004 ARMADAS THAT HAVE THIS SAFETY MALFUNCTION.

DRIVE IN PARKING LOT WITH SLOW SPEED. RED BREAK LIGHT IS SUDDENLY ON THEN THE GRINDING SOUND IS OCCURRED. IF TRY TO TOUCH THE BREAK, YOU FEEL IT IS DIFFICULT TO RESPONSE. IT SEEMS THE BREAK IS ENGAGED. IT WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE THEN TURN IT ON. THE RED "BREAK" LIGHT IS OFF THEN BACK TO NORMAL. NO ANY BEAK OIL LEAKING. GO GARAGE TO CHECK THE ODB2 CODE AND THERE IS NO ANY ERROR CODE FOR IT. IT SEEMS THE BREAK BOOSTER GETS MESSED UP AND NO CODE RECORDING FOR 2004 ARMADA. IT IS SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE BREAK WILL ENGAGE RANDOMLY. IT IS LUCKY THAT IT HAPPENS IN THE PARKING LOT WITH ALMOST STOP SPEED. IT WILL BE TERRIBLE WHEN IT HAPPEN IN THE HIGH WAY.

ISSUE IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND DELTA SENSOR. TRUCK HAS 85000 MILES ON IT. THE BRAKES KEEP FAILING, AND YOU NEED TO PULL OVER, AND RESTART THE TRUCK TO GET GOING AGAIN, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES. NISSAN HAS LOOKED AT IT, BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY WITNESS IT. OR THEY READ THE CODE.HOWEVER, WHEN YOU SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO CLEAR BRAKES, AND IT CLEARS THE CODE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IT HAD A RECALL WHEN I WENT TO THE NISSAN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ALREADY GOT THAT SERVICE IN OTHER DEALER BY THE FIRST OWNER. I TOLD THEM THE VEHICLE WAS DOING THE SAME THAT THE RECALL SAID AND THAT THE NISSAN TOLD ME TO GO THERE. SO THEY TOLD ME THEY CANT HELP ME BECAUSE MY TRUCK ALREADY GOT THE SERVICE. SO NOW IM AFRAID TO USE IT BECAUSE IS DANGEROUS AND NOBODY KNOW HOW TO HELP ME AND ALSO THE SCANNER DOESN'T GIVE US ANY TROUBLE CODE. IT ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE ITS LOOK LIKE ELECTRIC PROBLEM WHEN I SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND START IT AGAIN THE PROBLEM IS GONE. ABOUT THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE SAME SIGNALS THAT SAY THE RECALL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT WAS THE FUEL PUMP BUT I REALIZE IT HAVE TO HAPPEN FREQUENTLY AND ISNT, THEM I REALIZE IT HAVE TO BE ELECTRIC PROBLEM BC THAT HAPPEN FIRST THEM THE BREAK ISSUE SO IM PRETTY SURE IS ELECTRICAL OR THE SUV COMPUTER.
