SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH BOARD, PUSH BRAKES AND IT MAKES THIS GRINDING NOISE AND THE BRAKES LOSE MOST OF THEIR POWER. AFTER I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN OFF ENGINE AND TURN IT BACK ON LIGHT GOES OFF. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN 2010..IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN IN 2013 A COUPLE OF TIMES AND NOW IT DOES IT ALL OF THE TIME IN 2014. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND A LOT OF THE TIME HAVE MULTIPLE KIDS IN THE CAR THAT DO NOT BELONG TO ME. IT IS A VERY SCARY THOUGHT THAT THE BRAKES WILL JUST STOP WORKING. I JUST GOT NEW BRAKES AROUND 6 MONTHS AGO AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT MORE SINCE THAN. I WILL TAKE MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC AGAIN AND NEED BE FILE EVERY COMPLAINT WITH WHOEVER I CAN TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. I HAVE READ MANY, MANY FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING THIS EXACT PROBLEM..WHY HASN'T NISSAN RECALLED THIS ISSUE??? SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE!!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
ON 3 OCCASIONS, MY BRAKES HAVE FAILED WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING. THE RED BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. THE BRAKES WERE GRINDING AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR. LUCKILY, I WAS TRAVELING AT LOW RATES OF SPEED EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS TOWED EACH TIME AND THE MECHANIC CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS SINCE IT APPEARS THAT THE BRAKES RESET WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE READ ON LINE THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS YET WHEN I CALLED NISSAN, THEY STATED THAT THEY HAVE ONLY RECALLED OLDER VEHICLES FOR BRAKE ISSUES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, SUSPENSION
I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I WAS EXITING THE RAMP I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE BRAKES WERE GRINDING. I HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE LANE TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE I HAD LIL TO NO BRAKE POWER. THIS IS NOT THE 1ST TIME THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT NISSAN NEEDS TO RESOLVE IT FAST BECAUSE THE NEXT PERSON MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW DO TO THE BRAKE ISSUE AND OF COURSE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. I AM REPLACING THE BRAKES AND ROTORS AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP ELEVATE THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING AND FAST BEFORE SOMEONE IS FATALLY AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN. IF THIS ISSUE DOES NOT STOP I WILL BE TRADING MY VEHICLE IN AND NOT FOR ANOTHER NISSAN. *JS

WHILE PULLING MY CAR TRAILER WITH A LOADED CAR ON THE TRAILER THE BRAKES ON THE ARMADA STOPPED WORKING. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES STARTED PULSATING REALLY FAST TO THE POINT THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO SERVE AROUND THE CAN IN FRONT OF ME AND I RAN THE RED LIGHT. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS SUV HAS DONE THIS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2005. THE 4WD HAS NEVER PERFORMED CORRECTLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. OF COURSE, NOW THE VEHICLE IS WAY OUT OF WARRANTY, AND NISSAN WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT HASN'T WORKED RIGHT FROM THE MOMENT I BOUGHT IT. I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO USE THE 4WD SYSTEM FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. I'VE SEEN OTHER POSTS ON SEVERAL OTHER FORUMS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. FOR NOW, I'VE TAKEN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL OUT OF MY VEHICLE, AND A FRIEND OF MINE IS GOING TO SEE IF THERE'S A FIX FOR IT. I THINK IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE ARMADA AND TITAN HAVE DESIGN FLAWS CONCERNING THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. I KEEP HEARING ABOUT LEAKING AND BLOWN SEALS. I LIKE THE CAR, BUT I PAID FOR A 4WD VEHICLE AND I THINK I SHOULD HAVE ONE. IS THERE ANY ACTION I CAN TAKE? AGAINST NISSAN MAYBE? MAYBE THEY COULD PAY ME TO BE OK WITH THEIR FAULTY VEHICLE? I'VE OWNED SEVERAL NISSANS BEFORE AND HAD NO PROBLEMS, BUT I'M THINKING THAT I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE OF THIS. IF THERE'S A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS, SIGN ME UP. OR MAYBE WE COULD FILE ONE. *TR
