SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNS ON. WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE THERE IS A VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE NOISE IS SCARY AND THE BRAKES WORK BUT NOT AS WELL. THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE TO STOP TURN THE TRUCK OFF THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT DISAPPEARS AND STARTS WORKING AGAIN. IT'S HARD TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE IT'S RANDOM. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE, I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE A BRAKE BOOSTER BUT CAN'T TELL FOR SURE BECAUSE WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP IT'S NORMAL.

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.

ENGINE
WE PURCHASED OUR CAR USED WITH 53,000 MILES ON IT. UPON REACHING 60,000 MILES WE HEARD SOME KNOCKING AND PERIODICALLY SMELLED EXHAUST IN THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THAT BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND NEEDED REPLACED. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT NISSAN DID EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE ON SOME 2006 ARMADAS TO 80,000 MILES, HOWEVER THE TIME PERIOD HAD BEEN TOO LONG FOR OUR CAR TO BE COVERED. I CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD HELP US WITH, AND WERE NOT EVEN WILLING TO TELL ME IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL ONLINE, AND IT APPEARS THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH ISSUES YET FOR NISSAN TO TAKE ANY REALLY RESPONSIBILITY.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN THE BREAK LIGHTS COME ON AND YOU CAN HEAR A GRINDING SOUND AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO PULSE. THE ONLY WAY TO QUICKLY FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO RESTART THE CAR. I'VE TAKEN THE ARMADA TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIANS DRIVE THE VEHICLE AROUND THE LOT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND SAY THEY DO NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BREAKS. THIS ISSUE HAS A POTENTIAL TO GENERATE FETAL OUTCOMES. FORTUNATELY FOR MY FAMILY, WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN HARMS WAY. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2006.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT SLOW NORMAL SPEED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR NO BRAKING AVAILABLE WITH KIDS IN MY CAR THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ARMADA BRAKE DEBOOSTER VALVE EQUIPPED WITH DELTA SENSOR . SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. DURING THIS NO BRAKING THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND SLIP WARNING AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THIS IS BY SAFELY PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE IGNITION OFF WHICH THEN MIGHT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY EXACTLY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THEY GOT THE CODE C1179 WHICH CLEARLY OUTLINES A BAD DELTA SENSOR WITHIN THE BRAKE DEBOOSTER VALVE . I BELIEVE NISSAN HAS KNOW THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT YET MADE A RECALL O THIS ISSUE WILL LIKE THE TRANSPORT SAFETY BOARD LOOK INTO THIS ELECTRICAL, SOFTWARE , MECHANICAL PROBLEM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE WHEREBY INNOCENT LIVES COULD BE LOST . THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL . THE DEALERSHIP ALSO WANTS TO CHARGE FOR THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE AND YET SAID THIS MIGHT NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEN THE BRAKE DEBOOSTER VALVE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED , I AM SHOCKED TO KNOW THAT THEY KNOW IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BUT YET TEND TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM FRUSTRATED CONSUMER .

I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN, I NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHT, VDC LIGHT AND SLIP LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I PRESSED ON MY BRAKES IT MADE A GRINDING SOUND AND WOULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD TO JERK MY CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN TRY TO PUT IT INTO PARK. WHEN I PRESSED MY BRAKE PAD IT WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GROUND AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY CAR INTO PARK. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC PULLED OVER AND PARKED, I TURNED MY CAR OFF, WHEN I RESTARTED MY CAR THE LIGHT WERE OFF AND I DROVE ON MY WAY.
