SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPLAINING. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND OUT OF NO WHERE THE DASH BRAKE LIGHT WILL TURN ON. WHEN I PROCEED TO STOP THE CAR THE BRAKE WILL PUSH DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND IT WILL GRIND AND ALMOST SOUND LIKE A SPRING. I PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN IT GOES AWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THERE IS NO WARNING AS TO WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE FOR MY 2010 NISSAN ARMADA FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING AND HIT MY SON (SEATED IN THE MIDDLE SECOND ROW) ON THE HEAD. THE PLASTIC FASTENERS FOR THE CONSOLE JUST DISINTEGRATED AND BROKE OFF. THERE WERE ONLY 2 TINY FASTENERS FOR THE HUGE CONSOLE. WHEN THEY BROKE OFF AND THE CONSOLE SWUNG DOWN IT BROKE OFF FROM THE STEREO CONTROL PANEL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I'VE READ SO MANY POSTS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BASED ON POOR CONSTRUCTION.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON. BRAKES BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. WHEN PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES MADE A CRUNCHY NOISE, LIKE METAL RUBBING TOGETHER. THERE WAS A LOT OF NOISE. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, IT WENT BACK TO "NORMAL" WITH NO BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR ON.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE BROKE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSED ALL THE TIRES TO LOCK UP. WHEN THE CABLE BROKE IT WRAPPED AROUND THE LEFT REAR AXLE CAUSING THAT TO BREAK AS WELL AS THE DIFFERENTIAL SEAL. WE NEVER USE THE E BRAKE ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS VERY ODD THAT THE CABLE WOULD JUST BREAK. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. CABLES BREAKING AND TIRES LOCKING UP COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS/ FATAL. THE ESTIMATED REPAIR QUOTE TO FIX THIS IS 2325.00

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET AND STEP ON THE BRAKES WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT REAL SOFT AND I COULD HEAR A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES AND THE ABS AND VDC LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE I COULD CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AND I 13 TIMES.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING DUE TO A FAULTY HARNESS ASSEMBLY. THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT MEASURE FUEL ACCURATELY. THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKES STOP WORKING WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUES WITHOUT US PAYING OVER 3 GRAND EVEN THOUGH THESE ITEMS WERE RECALLED ON OTHER NISSANS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR NISSAN. THIS NISSAN NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALLS. WE BOUGHT THE CAR 5 MONTHS AGO FROM GO AUTOMOTIVE AND THEY ALSO REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUES.

AIR BAGS
THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK. I WAS INFORMED THIS IS DUE TO A BAD CLOCK SPRING. AMONG THE SYSTEMS THAT DO NOT WORK (RADIO CONTROLS, CRUISE CONTROL) THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING (LIGHTS ON). I WONDER WHY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS WHEN ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SECURITY FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT WORKING.

SERVICE BRAKES
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I RECENTLY LEARNED OF THE SAFETY RECALL 10V-074 THAT DESCRIBED THE EXACT SITUATION I ENCOUNTERED IN 2014. I WAS DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN ENGINE DIED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, BUT WAS BETWEEN AN ON RAMP AND OFF RAMP--VERY DANGEROUS. FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/3 OF A TANK. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ADDED A COUPLE GALLONS OF GAS. I WAS ABLE TO START AND DRIVE TO DEALER. NO RECALLS WERE IDENTIFIED FOR MY VIN AT THE TIME SO I WAS CHARGED NEARLY $1000 TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP/SENDER. I AM BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE I HAVE SO FAR BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN NEGOTIATING REIMBURSEMENT FROM NISSAN. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE, I BELIEVE A NON-VIN SPECIFIC SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN MUST BE INITIATED BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE SINCE THESE VEHICLES CAN LAST A LONG TIME--MY ARMADA HAD 154,000 MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, SEAT BELTS
THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING SO I TOOK MY 2005 ARMADA TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE REASON. THE DEALER IS CHARGING ME ABOUT $500.00 TO REPLACE THE HARNESS. THEY SAID THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, I'VE HAD TWO INSTANCES WHERE MY BRAKES GOT JAMMED AND MADE A LOUD NOISE WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN.

THIS IS MY THIRD INCIDENT, IT HAPPEN IN YEAR 2014, 2015 AND APR 29 2016. AFTER TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF THEN STOPS NORMALLY AGAIN. I HAVE BROUGHT MY ARMADA TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN COON RAPID MN. THEY CHARGED ME 130$ (DIAGNOSTIC FEE) AND NO PROBLEM SOLVED. AFTER RESEARCH ON INTERNET AFTER MY THIRD INCIDENT, I LEARNED THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION PENDING ON THIS ISSUES IN STATE OF CALIFORNIA. WHY NISSAN IS IGNORING THIS PROBLEM?. WE ARE SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW, I HAVE SPENT 40K TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE BACK IN 2004. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND BRAKES STOP WORKING PROPERLY. LOUD NOISES AND CRUNCHING SOUNDS FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IF I TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART, IT FIXES ITSELF FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS OR SO. NISSAN SAYS MANY THINGS BUT REALLY DONT KNOW. ABS CONTROL MODULE $1600.00 BRAKE BOOSTER$800.00 WHICH I'VE READ DOES NOT WORK . THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED! SO DANGEROUS. I TOW A 24' TRAILER. NOT ANYMORE. I ALSO READ IN S.CAROLINA, NISSAN JUST LOST A LAW SUIT ON THIS SAME SUBJECT. NISSAN.....DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!
