SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA (16,000 MILES) WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON AUGUST 22, 2006. IT WAS TAKEN TO A NISSAN DEALER TWO DAYS LATER WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS, THE REAR ROTORS WERE RESURFACED WITH NEW PADS. I PICKED THE VEHICLE UP ON FRIDAY, AND RETURNED WITH IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON MONDAY. MY ARMADA WAS NOT FIXED. THE STEERING WHEEL STILL WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING,AND THE FRONT BRAKE PEDAL WAS SPONGY,AS WELL AS THE BRAKES OVER HEATING. THE DEALER HAD THE ARMADA FOR THREE DAYS TO FIX/REPLACE A FRONT CALIPER NEW PADS AGAIN, AND WHEEL BALANCE. I BELIEVE MORE WORK WAS DONE, HOWEVER THE WORK ORDER DOES NOT REFLECT ANY OTHER REPAIRS. WHAT REALLY DISTURBS ME IS THAT I FOUND OUT THAT IN OCTOBER OF 2005 THE ARMADA HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD AT THAT TIME. THIS MAKES 3 REPAIRS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. NISSAN STATES THE BRAKES ISSUES ARE CORRECTED, I THINK THAT EVERY 10K I WILL HAVE TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPLACED OVER AND OVER. NISSAN STATED THAT NO OTHER PADS OR ROTORS WILL BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY,SINCE THEY WERE FIXED TWICE ALREADY. I WILL SAY THE DEALER HAS BEEN VERY GOOD SO FAR,BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I NEED BRAKES AGAIN. I AM AWARE OF OTHER ARMADA OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FINALLY CORRECT THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *JB

"DELTA STROKEFORCE" LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM; DROVE IT TO A NEIGHBORING DEALERSHIP 180 MILES R/T. THE NEIGHBORING DEALERSHIP RE-PROGRAMMED THE INTERNAL COMPUTER & ASSURED ME THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. TONIGHT 11/01/2006, BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON & BRAKES FAILED AGAIN WITH MY WIFE & KIDS IN THE VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
I PURCHASED A USED 2005 NISSAN ARMADA ON MAY 22, 2006 WITH A MILEAGE OF 34,399 MILES. AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVEN'T HAD IT FOR A 2 FULL MONTHS YET, AND ALREADY IT HAS FAILED ME. ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AFTER WORKING 16 HOURS. I STOPPED IN A RECORD SHOP TO PURCHASE SOME MUSIC CD'S, IT HAD ONLY BEEN ABOUT 15 MINUTES THAT THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF. WHEN I PROCEEDED BACK TO MY VEHICLE TO START IT BACK UP, IT WOULDN'T START. I THEREFORE CALLED AAA, THEY CAME IN A MATTER OF MINUTES, THEY TRIED FOR 45 MINUTES TO GIVE IT A BOOST BUT IT JUST WOULDN'T START, SO THEREFORE AAA HAD TO SEND A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK TO TOW IT BACK TO THE DEALER. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED, SO NOW I HAVE TO TAKE OFF A DAY OF WORK TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE TOWED ON MONDAY. THE CATCH 22 IS THEY CAN'T PROMISE ME A LOANER, AND THEY ARE NOT EVEN SURE IF THEY CAN REIMBURSE MY TOWING FEES. AS A CONSUMER WHO IS A SINGLE PARENT OF 4 WORKING 16 HOURS A DAY 5 DAYS A WEEK, I'M TAKING THIS ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP. THE END RESULTS THAT WOULD BE TO MY SATISFACTION IS TO GIVE ME A BRAND NEW 2006 ARMADA WITH 0 MILEAGE. THE DEALER DID NOT SERVICE THIS CAR PROPERLY. I CONDUCTED A CARFAX REPORT ON MY VEHICLE AND IT STATED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS USED AS A RENTAL IN MARYLAND. I DON'T WANT THEM TO FIX IT, THEY ARE ASSUMING ITS THE ALTERNATOR OR THE STARTER, IN WHICH SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO WHAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE A NEW TRUCK. I FEEL ONCE THEY FIX THAT PROBLEM, ANOTHER PROBLEM WILL OCCUR. I AM A VERY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER, I FEEL I WAS TAKEN FOR MY MONEY BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN. I WILL BE CONTACTING CONSUMER AFFAIRS & NY1 NEWS STATION TO GET THE SATISFACTION I DESERVE. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA STALLED. THE ELECTRICAL WAS STILL FUNCTIONAL. WE HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS DIFFICULT AS WE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. PRIOR TO THIS, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS FLASHING. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALER WHERE WE WERE TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO HAVING NO GAS IN OUR VEHICLE. BESIDES BEING INSULTED WE DID HAVE A 1/4 TANK OF GAS PRIOR TO TAKING IT TO THEM. WE STILL HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN THERE FOR 2 DAYS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE ENGINE WAS POWERLESS, BUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM REMAINED OPERATIONAL. THERE WAS SUFFICIENT MOMENTUM TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SERVICE DEALER. DUE TO THE HOLIDAY, THERE HAS BEEN NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE SERVICE DEALER.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA WITH 7000 MILES AND THE BRAKE ROTORS SEEM TO BE WARPED ALREADY. I HAVE A COUSIN WHO HAS A 2004 TITAN AND HAS HAD PLENTY OF BRAKE PROBLEMS ALSO. WHEN BRAKING,ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A LOT OF VIBRATION. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. BUT NISSAN HAS YET TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES WITH THESE PROBLEMS. THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS OUT TO REPLACE THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS BUT AFTER READING MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS POSTED BY OTHER PEOPLE THEY ONLY WANT TO TURN THE ROTORS WHICH IS NOT THE SOLUTION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY RIGHTS ARE AND HOW TO GET NISSAN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. *JB

THIS WILL BE MY SECOND COMPLAIN FILED FOR THE SAME VEHICLE. AT 14000 MILES MY VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN IS HAVING BRAKE FAILURE I TOOK IN MY VEHICLE AND SERVICE MANAGER SUGGESTED THAT IT MIGHT BE MY BRAKE PADS AND IT WILL COST ME APROX. $200 TO $300 TAKING IN MY THE MY BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AT 7000 MILES. AFTER BEING IN THE SHOP FOR 2 DAYS THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY PADS, HOWEVER I MY PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED, WHEN DOWNHILL I WOULD FEEL GRINDING WHEN BRAKING AND IF I SUDDENLY BRAKE I FELT IT EVEN MORE. TO ONE POINT THAT I ALMOST HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO STOP BECAUSE I WAS PROBABLY GOING ABOUT 10 MPH. I FINALLY TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE SHOP AND THIS TIME THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE BRAKE PADS, AND ROTORS BUT NO CHARGE IS GOING TO BE MADE TO ME BECAUSE IT IS COVERED BY WARRANTY. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
1) JUST TRADED MY CAR IN FOR A "BRAND NEW" 2005 NISSAN ARMADA IN JANUARY 2006. THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS ABOUT 4000 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM STARTED AT 600 MILES. I BOUGHT THE SUV WITH OVER 400 MILES ON IT. 2) THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WHILE DRIVING. AS YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRAKES AND MAKES A CLICKING/MECHANICAL NOISE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY 5-7 DAYS. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH MY FAMILY (WE HAVE A 5 YR-OLD AND A 2 YR-OLD) IN THE SUV. WE HAVE HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION OR PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHILE BLOCKING THE RIGHT LANE MANY TIMES. 3) TO TEMPORARILY CORRECT THE PROBLEM, YOU WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER ASAP. THERE WERE TIMES WHERE I HAD TO JUST STOP THE VEHICLE AS THE SUV WOULD JUST VIBRATE AND THE BRAKING APPEARS TO BE WEAK. ONCE PULLED OVER, YOU HAVE TO STOP THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ONLY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUSES. THEN ABOUT 1-2 WEEKS LATER, I HAD TO DRIVE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER, WHERE THEY DESCRIBED THE ROTORS AS BEING WARPED. THEY PUT IN A NEW BRAKE KIT BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS. *NM

PURCHASED 2005 ARMADA IN MAY BY JUNE VEHICLE WENT INTO SERVICE BECAUSE A NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR SIDE. 2 ATTEMPTS TO FIX AND PART WAS REPLACED. AUGUST 2005 TAKEN TO DEALER AGAIN BECAUSE OF SHAKING WHILE BRAKING, AND FRONT ROTORS /PADS WERE REPLACED, AND REAR ROTORS RESURFACED. JANUARY 2006 VEHICLE TAKEN BACK TO DEALER BECAUSE THERE WAS A GRINDING. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM WERE THE TIRES THAT NEEDED BALANCING AND ROTATING. ANOTHER PROBLEM WAS THE LIFTGATE, IT DID NOT WANT TO OPEN AND CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 3 DAYS AND THEY STILL DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. AS ANOTHER CONSUMER MENTIONED THE STABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE WAS VERY POOR, I HAVE SWIRVED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKING AT 50 MPH OR MORE. ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN SERVICE THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS. *AK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EQUIPMENT
WELL I THOUGHT THAT I WAS PURCHASING A REALLY GOOD AND SAFE VEHICLE AT FIRST, BUT NOW I AM FINDING TO ALMOST DOUBT MYSELF.... WELL I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY NISSAN ARMADA FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS NOW AND IT USED TO GET ME TO WORK AND BACK HOME ON A DAILY BASIS. IT IS ALSO USED TO TAKE ME AND MY CHILDREN TO THE DOCTORS ETC. I HAD FELT THIS VIBRATION IN THE TRUCK AND STEERING WHEEL AND I DID NOT THINK IT WAS ANYTHING UNTIL IT STARTED TO GET WORSE AS THE DAYS PROGRESSED. IF I GO OVER 30 MPH AND HAVE TO SLOW DOWN THE VIBRATION IS REAL MINOR. IF I GO OVER 35 MPH IT TAKES LONGER TO STOP AND THE VIBRATION GETS WORST. I HAVE CALLED UP THE DEALER TO TRY TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO MAKE AN APT. AND JUST WAIT TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX IT... SO FAR NO CALL BACK OF ANY KIND. *JB

WHAT IS OUT OPTIONS WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALL THE 2005 NISSAN ARMADA? *JB

THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS BUT THE PROBLEM RESURFACED. THE DEALER ALSO INSTALLED A NEW BRAKE KIT WITH BRAKE PADS PER SERVICE BULLETIN INFORMATION.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
OCTOBER 28, 2005 NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION DEAR SIR / MADAM, I CURRENTLY OWN A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WE ARE HAVING A CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE ROLLING BACK WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED WHILE ON AN INCLINE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. ABOUT 25% OF THE TIME WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGINS ROLLING BACK AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THERE IS NO INDICATION THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP ROLLING WITHOUT IMMEDIATELY BRAKING OR ACCELERATING QUICKLY. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO COUNTERACT THE ROLL IT SEEMS TO TAKES A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTS MOVING FORWARD. BECAUSE THIS ROLLBACK HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY I FEEL IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE VEHICLE BEHIND US, OR WORSE A PERSON WALKING BEHIND THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED. BOTH TIMES IT WAS IN FOR SERVICE THEY SAID THIS WAS CONSIDERED NORMAL OPERATION. ON THE SECOND VISIT THEY SAID THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE WAS IN AND HE CONFIRMED THIS WAS NORMAL OPERATION. ERIC, THE SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME. THE DEALER IS: WILDE NISSAN 1451 E MORELAND BLVD WAUKESHA, WI 53186 262-542-5500 888-660-7066 I HAVE NEVER HAD AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DISPLAY THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR PREVIOUSLY AND FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY FOR INEXPERIENCED DRIVERS SUCH AS MY 17 YEAR OLD SON. I DON''T FEEL THE DEALERSHIP OR NISSAN IS TAKING US OR THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY. *NM

DT: THE CONSUMER STATED THAT ON MARCH 5, 2005 THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SEAT BELTS LOCKED WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE SEAT BELTS TIGHTENED LIKE THEY WERE CHOKING THE CONSUMER. THE MIDDLE ROW SEAT LOCKED, BUT DID NOT CATCH IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CONSUMER FROM GOING FORWARD. ALSO WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY THAT ONE COULD NOT HANG ONTO THE WHEEL. THE CONSUMER HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE BRAKES, AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW BRAKE SYSTEM. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERS ON OCTOBER 5, 2005 BECAUSE THE FUEL PUMP CRACKED. THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THE ENGINE BLEW OUT. THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE HAD 12, 000 MILES ON IT. *AK UPDATED 11/29/2005 - *NM (12/05/05) THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT WAS REPLACED TWICE.

THE BRAKES ON MY 2005 ARMADA WARPED AT ABOUT 5,000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THEY HAVE AN UPGRADE KIT TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE STOCK BRAKES ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE VEHICLE. WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE, I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY ONLY TURNED THE ROTORS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS AND NOW CANNOT GIVE ME THE UPGRADE BECAUSE THERE IS NO VISIBLE PROBLEM AND NISSAN WILL NOT AUTHORIZE THE WORK. I WAS NEVER ASKED IF I WANTED THE ROTORS TURNED. IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO AVOID A RECALL BY MAKING IT LOOK LIKE THEY ARE FIXING THE PROBLEM, BUT THEN ONLY DOING WHAT COSTS THEM THE LEAST. *NM
