SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, POWER TRAIN
WHEN CRUISING AT LOW SPEED WHEN I RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL TO LET THE TRUCK COAST, IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES GET APPLIED SLIGHTLY AND THE TRUCK STARTS TO LOOSE SPEED. IN MY EXPERIENCE WITH ALL MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CARS IS THAT WHEN YOU RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD COAST AND LOOSE SPEED GRADUALLY. BUT IN MY ARMADA IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED VERY SLIGHTLY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
SAME ISSUE EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING SPONGY BRAKES WHEN PRESSED NOT STOPPING, LOUD GRINDING NOISE, MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. CAN NHTSA HELP OUT THE LITTLE GUY FOR A CHANGE AND ORDER A RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE AT HAND WITH ALL NISSAN ARMADAS BREAKING SYSTEMS. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES BUT DOES NOT WANT TO FIX ITS PROBLEM. I GUESS IT TAKES A DEATH TO HAVE THEM LISTEN. IN ALL REALITY ITS NOT THE DEATH THAT WILL CAUSE THEM TO LISTEN OR FIX THE ISSUE AT HAND IT WILL BE THE LAW SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THEIR UNSAFE PRACTICES. *KB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED TO STOP THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKES SOUND LIKE THEY ARE SCRUBBING AND THE BRAKE PETAL GOES TO THE FLOOR THE VEHICLE SLOWS A LITTLE BUT IT IS STILL ROLLING. THE VEHICLE THEN HAS TO BE PUT IN PARK, THE ENGINE THEN HAS TO BE TURNED OFF. YOU THEN HAVE TO WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND RESTART VEHICLE. IF THIS IS NOT DONE THE LIGHT DOESNT GO OFF AND THE BRAKING IS THE SAME. ALSO THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WORKS RANDOMLY. I HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALSO WITH MY INFINITI G35 WHICH IS ALSO MADE BY NISSAN, I HAVE TWO FRIENDS THAT OWN NISSAN VEHICLES THAT EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR DOOR LOCK ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DRIVING FINE THEN AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, LIKE IT IS IN A HIGHER GEAR. AFTER REACHING 10MPH IT DRIVES PERFECTLY FINE. IF AFTER STOPPING YOU CUT THE ENGINE AND RESTART, IT IS FINE. REVERSE WORKS FINE. CODE P1757 COMES UP ON TEST. A BAD VALVE BODY. I'VE SEEN THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET MOSTLY ON NISSAN '05 MODELS, MAYBE SOME '06. VERY FRUSTRATING, NISSAN SAYS I NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. I'M THINKING A RECALL SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN ON OTHER YEAR MODELS AS MUCH. *TT

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
AT SLOW SPEED, BRAKES APPEAR TO FAIL. GRINDING NOISE WITH VERY MINIMAL BRAKING AS A RESULT. TURNING OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO CLEAR THE "TROUBLE". WOULD BE DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC SITUATION. RECURRING YET VERY OCCASIONAL PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON DUE TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. RECEIVED WARRANTY NOTICE FROM NISSAN OF PROBLEM WITH CATALYTIC FAILURE, HOWEVER, MY MILEAGE PREVENTED FREE REPLACEMENT. MY STATE REQUIRE EMISSION TESTING EACH YEAR, THEREFORE, WITHOUT REPLACEMENT I WOULD BE UNABLE TO REGISTER MY TRUCK. MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW AND IS SERVICE ON A REGULAR BASIS. PAID FOR REPLACEMENT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2005 NISSAN ARMADA- OUR PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE SAME AS COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH NO ANSWER IN SIGHT. WE WILL APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN WE ARE AT A SLOWER SPEED (<30MPH) AND THE BRAKES WILL FAIL. THEY PULSATE, GRIND, AND PUSH IN A SPONGEY FEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY MINIMAL BRAKING RESULTS. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR WITH OUR 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER SO YOU CAN IMAGINE OUR CONCERN. WE ARE PLANNING TO SELL THE CAR AND GET SOMETHING ELSE, BUT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE BRAKES FIXED FIRST. BUT FROM WHAT I SEE, NISSAN IS GOING TO DO NOTHING TO HELP AND THE GOVERNMENT MUST BE TURNING A BLIND EYE TO AN ISSUE THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK FOR NOT JUST OWNERS OF THESE ARMADAS, BUT FOR OTHER DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS WALKING THE STREETS AS WELL. *KB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2005 NISSAN ARMADA ABS ISSUES. VEHICLE BRAKES JUST START GRINDIING AND GRINDING WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED AND BRAKING POWER IS AT A MINIMUM. IF YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IS SEEMS TO WORK FOR A WHILE. THIS IS A VERY INTERMITTANT PROBLEM BUT VERY VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS APPLYING BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND TURN INTO A GROCERY STORE DRIVE AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, THEY STARTED MAKING A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE LIKE THE BRAKES WERE FALLING APART....STOPPING POWER GREATLY DIMISHED BUT LUXKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SHOULDER AND LIMP INTO LOT. ONCE I TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON IT HAS WORKED FINE FOR SEVERAL DAYS...BUT VERY SCARED. *TT

MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA HAVE BRAKE PROBLEMS THE VEHICLE AT NO PARTICULAR TIME THE BRAKES WILL FAIL HAVING A SPRING CLONK NOISE SEVERAL TIMES COMING FROM THE FRONT BRAKES WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL TRAVEL ALL THE WAY DOWN WITH NO BRAKING POWER TO THE WHEELS. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO ME MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN NUMEROUS TIMES TO NISSAN DEALERS. UNFORTUNATELY DEALER CAN'T REPLICATE THIS PROBLEM TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. NOW MY WARRANTY IS OVER AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE DEALER WILL COVER THESE EXPENSES. I HAVE TOLD THE DEALERS THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT SOMEBODY COULD DIE IF THERE IS NO BRAKES THAT NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE BRAKES, SO FAR NISSAN HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *KB

WHILE DRIVING THE 2005 NISSAN ARMADA, EXPERIENCED AN ENGAGE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM, CLANGING NOISE, LOSS OF BRAKING AT THE PEDAL, PARK LIGHT COMES ON. APPEARS AS THOUGH THE ABS SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED. ARMADA REMAINS LOCKED IN THIS POSITION EVEN AFTER STOPPING. THIS CONDITION IS RECOVERABLE BY TURN OFF THE POWER/KEY AND RESTARTING. SEEMS LIKE A COMPUTER JUST ENGAGED THE ABS BY MISTAKE. DANGEROUS! *KB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WITH THE NISSAN ARMADA SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE NEW. BASICALLY, THE BRAKES FAIL ON THE CAR AND IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IT BECOMES UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ARMADA AND TITAN AND NISSAN CONTINUES TO DENY THE PROBLEM. MY WIFE NEARLY HAD 2 ACCIDENTS DURING THE INCIDENTS. THE DEALER STATES TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF RESETS IT BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE WHEN IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL BY NISSAN.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WARNING LIGHT/DEVICES
2005 NISSAN ARMADA 4/22/09 AIRBAG LIGHT ON, AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER REPLACED FRONT SEAT HARNESS LEFT HAND SIDE UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO RECALL. 12/10/10 AIRBAG LIGHT ON AGAIN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER REPLACED FRONT HARNESS RIGHT SIDE AND AIRBAG HARNESS. 7/15/201 AIRBAG LIGHT ON AGAIN AUTHORIZED DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE US $1200 TO REPLACE ENTIRE HARNESS SYSTEM NOT RELATED TO THE OTHER 2 RECALLS THEY CANNOT PASS US FOR THE STATE INSPECTION OR GUARANTEE THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT OR THAT THE SEAT BELTS WILL WORK PROPERLY. SERVICE MANAGER TRIES TO GET MY SUPPLEMENTAL WARRANTY TO COVER THE REPAIRS AND THAT IS DENIED. WHY DOES THIS PROBLEM OCCUR SO OFTEN IN SO MANY INSTANCES WITH REPAIR AFTER REPAIR AND NOTHING EVER CORRECTS THE PROBLEM . IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF NISSAN TO GUARANTEE OUR SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DRIVE AS IS WE CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR AND BASED ON EVERYONE ELSES EXPERIENCE IT WILL NOT BE COMPLETELY FIXED ANYHOW. *TT
