STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, AIR BAGS
I HIT A DEER ON JULY 5TH 2014. MY FRONT BUMPER PUSHED IN ON MY DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. CRACKED MY GRILL. BROKE OUT A HEAD LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE. BENT THE DRIVER FENDER AND DRIVERS DOOR AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. A WEEK AND A HALF LATER MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON..... I CARRIED IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT WRECK RELATED. SPOKE WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSAN ARMADA. I NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND I CANT TAKE THE CHANCE OF TRAVELING WITH HAZARDOUS RESTRAINTS.. I CURRENTLY HAVE A REJECT STICKER AND I DO NOT FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
SINCE 2006 THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING I HAVE TO PULL TO SIDE BECAUSE I LOST MY BRAKES AND I HAVE TAKEN TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY HAVE ADJUSTED THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR MANY YEARS INTO MY WARRANTY EXPIRE. AND KNOW THE WANT TO REPLACE THE POWER BOOSTER. KNOW THEY ARE SAID DELTA STROKE SENSOR ON THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER IS NOT GETTING PROPER VOLTAGE. THEY ARE MANY NISSAN ARMADA WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM ONES OF THE LUCKY PERSONA HAVE GOT ON AN ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE NISSAN ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE NISSAN IS RESPONSIBLE TO RECALL ALL ARMADA FROM 2005 TO PRESENT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND A CAR CUT ME OFF ,I STEPPED ON MY BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND I HEARD AND FELT A GRINDING NOISE. I IMMEDIATELY SWERVED INTO THE DIRT AND THANK GOD THERE WAS NO VEHICLES PARKED IN THE AREA I HAD TURNED INTO. I NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON . I THEN SLOWLY MADE MY WAY HOME AND PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY TRUCK CHECKED. ON 10/6/14 ,I DROVE MY TRUCK VERY SLOW AND CAREFULLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. ON 10/7/14 ,I WAS TOLD A CODE #C1179 DELTA SENSOR WAS BAD AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WENT ON LINE TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS MATTER . IT IS A MAJOR FACTORY DEFECT WITH ARMADAS ,TITAN AND QX56 MODELS FROM 04 TO PRESENT AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE LEAVING WORK, I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 20MPH WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRUCK FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AFTER I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND RESTARTED IT, THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO BRAKE NORMALLY. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE OWNED MY TRUCK FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND IT HAS CONTINUED TO PERFORM THIS WAY PERIODICALLY(2 TIMES A MONTH). THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I PRAY EVERYTIME WE DRIVE IT. NISSAN HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. FOR THIS REASON, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
REAR HATCH WILL NOT OPEN IN COOL WEATHER. THE REAR HATCH ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED IN 2011 AND EVERY AUTUMN WHEN IT STARTS TO GET COOL, THE REAR HATCH WILL NOT UNLOCK AND OPEN. WE SEND IT TO THE AUTO MECHANIC AND THEY LUBRICATE THE MECHANISM AND IT WILL LAST THROUGH MOST OF THE WINTER SEASON. SOME WINTERS IT WILL OPEN UNTIL SPRING, SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO DRIVE IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC A SECOND TIME BEFORE THE WEATHER GETS WARM. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN ARMADA THIS IS ABOUT THE 5TH TIME THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WHEN YOU TRY TO STOP THE CAR IT WON'T. THE CAR WILL START MAKING GRIND NOISES AND DON'T WON'T TO STOP. WHEN YOU GET IT STOP YOU HAVE TO TURN TO CAR OFF FOR EVERYTHING TO RESET AND IT WORKS FINE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT IF NOT KILLED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAS GAUGE SAID THAT I HAD A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS WHEN IN REALITY I WAS ON EMPTY. I HAD GONE TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTERS FRIEND WHEN IT RAN OUT OF GAS. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IS HAS HAPPENED. ONCE WAS ON A HIGHWAY IN ANOTHER CITY NEAR MY HOME. I CAN'T TRUST IT. WHENEVER I GET TO HALF OF A TANK, I PUT MORE FUEL IN JUST IN CASE BECAUSE THE TRUCK WILL STOP WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
AS I WAS ON MY WAY BACK FROM THE STORE, I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO AN INTERSECTION TO TURN WHEN I FELT THIS GRINDING FEELING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT MADE AN AWFUL NOISE AND I HAD NO BRAKES PER SE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON, HOWEVER, I HAD NOT PUT IT ON. I HAD TO STOP AS BEST I COULD AND TURN THE CAR OFF. ONLY AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF, DID THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT GO OFF AND I COULD CONTINUE. I DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN ON THE WAY HOME, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. ONCE, I HAD MY GRANDDAUGHTER WITH ME AND IT REALLY SCARED ME BECAUSE WE WERE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. LUCKILY I WAS A SAFE DISTANCE BEHIND AND IT WAS RUSH HOUR OR I MIGHT HAVE BEEN ACTUALLY GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. AS IT WAS, I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC. AS OF NOW, MY "SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ON" AND I CAN'T GET IT INSPECTED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL GO ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED AT THIS TIME THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF BREAKING POWER AS WELL AS A GRINDING AND JERKING MOTION. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT IF I TURN ON THE VEHICLE AND LEAVE IT IN PART POSITION FOR 10 MINUTES OR SO, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL ALSO GO ON. IF I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE, THE SAME LOSS OF BRAKING POWER OCCURS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE LOSS OF BRAKING POWER IN VARIOUS SITUATIONS FROM GOING 75 MILES ON THE FREEWAY TO AS LITTLE AS BRINGING THE CAR OUT OF PARKED POSITION. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME LOSS OF POWER AND NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WAS DRIVING MY SON TO FOOTBALL PRACTICE AND WENT TO STOP AT STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKES WERE REALLY HARD TO PUSH DOWN, WAS MAKING A BAD GRINDING NOISE AND DIDN'T WANT TO STOP, LUCKILY I WAS ONLY DRIVING 35MPH. FINALLY AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TO STOP I LET OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND IT MADE A SPRINGY CLICKING NOISE LIKE THE PEDAL WAS RESETTING TO A CERTAIN SPOT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF FOR 2-3 MINUTES STARTED BACK UP AND BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND BRAKES WORKED PERFECTLY. THIS COULD HAVE GOT SOMEONE KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED....NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES FROM MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER 2014. WITHIN TWO WEEKS I HAD TWO FLAT TIRES FROM THE TIRE SENSOR LEAKS. ACCORDING TO TIRE TEC THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM SERVICING RUBBERS NEED TO BE REPLACED. ONCE A TIRE IS REMOVED AND REPLACED THE RUBBERS ARE USUALLY DAMAGED BY BENDING THE RUBBERS THUS CAUSING THE LEAKS. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ADVISING OF SENSOR WARNINGS AND PROBLEMS WITH KEEPING AIR IN TIRES. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS UNIVERSAL TO ANYONE WHO HAS A VEHICLE WITH THE ELECTRONIC TIRE SENSORS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. SO I HAVE HAD TWO OF MY SENSORS REPLACED. THE OTHER TWO OF MY TIRES CONSTANTLY LEAK AIR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE REAR HATCH LOCK ACTUATOR FAILS IN COOL TEMPERATURES. THIS LEAVES THE REAR HATCH UNABLE TO OPEN. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE, I WOULD BE UNABLE TO GET MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE 3RD ROW SEATING. THIS HAPPENS EACH YEAR AS SOON AS THE TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW 50.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2004 NISSAN ARMADA HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE. SHE WAS ON A BACK ROAD HEADING HOME WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES TO GO AROUND A SHARP TURN. INSTEAD OF BREAKING, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND AND THE BRAKE PEDDLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THANK GOODNESS SHE WAS ABLE TO MANAGE THE TURN AND THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN FRONT OF HER. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. *TR
