SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY 06 NISSAN ARMARDA HAS OVER 78000 MILES ON IT. ONE DAY WITHOUT WARNING, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON - THE SOUND THAT THE ABS MAKES WHEN ITS IN USE HAPPENS & BRAKES BECOME SPONGY. IT FELT LIKE THEY FELL RIGHT OUT THE BOTTOM. NEXT MORNING IT WAS AT MY LOCAL GOOD YEAR. THEY REPLACED THE CALIPERS, AND BRAKE PADS - ALL WAS WELL, SO I THOUGHT. 2 WEEKS LATE THE SAME THING. BACK IT WENT TO THE SHOP & NOTHING COULD BE FOUND SINCE THIS DEFECT SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF. THIS 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 30 MILES AN HOUR, JUST A SLIGHT TAP & THE BRAKES WERE LOST. I DROVE IT RIGHT TO THE SHOP & THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE GRINDING SINCE I NEVER PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK. BUT THE NEXT DAY THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. I NOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE NISSAN DEALER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS COMPONENTS. THANKFULLY FOR GEICOS MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN INSURANCE SO FAR I'VE ONLY HAD TO PAY THE $250 DEDUCTIBLE. ITS GOOD FOR UP TO 7 YEARS/100,000 MILES. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE PURCHASED A 2005 ARMADA WITH 50,000 MILES ON IT IN 2009, AT THAT TIME THE DEALER SOLD IT TO US WITH THE AIRBAGS SYSTEM SHOWING THE WARNING LIGHT SOLID. THEY ASKED FOR US TO TAKE IT TO A NEARBY NISSAN DEALER AND GET THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT BECAUSE THEY WERE A SAAB DEALER. THE NISSAN DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM WITHOUT NOTIFYING US OF A COST. THIS ACTION WAS A COST OF $330 WHICH I ASKED THEM TO TAKE THE PART OUT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE SAAB DEALERS AUTHORIZATION. THIS DEALERSHIP TOLD ME NISSAN HONORED THE WORK AND WARRANTY. WE DID NOT PAY A DIME. NOW THE SAME LIGHT IS NOW FLASHING ON THE DASH SINCE 72000 MILES. I STILL HAVE A GOLD WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE BUT THIS RESTRAINT IS NOT COVERED. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND CAUSES SYSTEM FAILURE ON THE AIRBAGS WHY AREN'T THEY RECALLING IT? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
LUCKILY, I WAS ONLY DRIVING 25 MPH ON MY WAY HOME FROM TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL BACK IN MARCH. I APPROACHED THE STOP SIGN BY MY HOUSE AND APPLIED THE BRAKE, BUT TO MY SURPRISE THE TRUCK WASN'T STOPPING. I HELD THE BRAKE DOWN AND NOTHING. I WENT RIGHT THRU THE STOP SIGN AND KEPT BRAKING. FINALLY MY SPEED HAD DECELERATED ENOUGH TO COME TO A STOP. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN AND COULD NOT GET IT TO REPEAT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE TRUCK SEEMED TO BE STOPPING FINE NOW. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE I HIT A PATCH OF OIL. I TOLD MY HUSBAND AND HE SAID THE SAME THING. THEN ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM. WE HAVE HAD OUR TRUCK FOR 3 YEARS NOW AND THIS HAD OCCURRED PROB. 4-6 TIMES. WE HAVE HAD THE BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED. THIS STILL DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY NISSAN CAN FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND FIX IT BEFORE SOMETHING AWFUL HAPPENS TO SOMEONE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLED, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. SHE HAD TO WAIT 25 MINUTES IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE EVERY TWO MONTHS BUT PROGRESSED AND WAS NOW A WEEKLY OCCURRENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A TUNE UP AND CHANGED THE OIL; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO WAS PERFORMING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT VIEWED INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET THAT INDICATED THAT THE INTEGRATED POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 108,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
ON THIS 2010 ARMADA, SINCE THE FIRST USE AFTER PURCHASE, THE LOW FUEL WARNING COMES ON WITH ABOUT 8 GALLONS LEFT IN THE 28-GALLON TANK, WHILE THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE APPEARS TO INDICATE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF REMAINING FUEL. (OUR 2005 ARMADA DEVELOPED THIS EXACT PROBLEM AFTER A FEW YEARS, AND WE HAVE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM IN WHICH SOME SYSTEMS SHOW MORE FUEL THAN ACTUAL.) AT THIS POINT IT IS AN INCONVENIENCE AS OPPOSED A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT, SINCE THE PROBLEM ON OUR 2010 ARMADA IS OBVIOUSLY MERELY A DIFFERENT SYMPTOM OF PROBABLY THE SAME FAULTY COMPONENT, I FEEL THE NHTSA SHOULD CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL FOR THE 2010 MODEL AS WELL (AND FOR OTHER YEAR MODELS NOT YET RECALLED) SINCE THE MALFUNCTION COULD JUST AS WELL SHIFT TO THE UNSAFE FAILURE MODE. IT ALSO SEEMS VERY LIKELY THAT MANY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME MALFUNCTION AS WITH MY 2005 AND 2010 MODELS, BUT THAT THE NHTSA'S STATISTICS DO NOT TRACK SUCH COMPLAINTS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE FAULTY COMPONENT IS NOT YET 'UNSAFE' IN THIS PARTICULAR MODE OF MALFUNCTION. (SINCE THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP, I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE VIN OR TO OUR OFFICE RECORDS THIS WEEKEND, BUT CAN PROVIDE THE VIN LATER IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO REVISE A POSTING.) *TR

SUSPENSION
2004 ARMADA DIFFICULT TO CONTROL OVER BUMPS. RIGHT REAR TIRE CONTINUOUSLY BOUNCES CAUSING VEHICLE TO WANDER WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. STEERING WHEEL CONTINUOUSLY VIBRATES ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND TEST DRIVEN BY MANY MECHANICS INCLUDING NISSAN DEALERSHIPS TO NO AVAIL CAN THEY LOCATE THE PROBLEM. ALL 4 TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. AIR BAGS PERFORMED ACTIVE TESTS TO REAR AIR SHOCKS AND WERE WORKING FINE. BAGS WERE CHECKED FOR LEAKS AND NONE WERE FOUND. ALIGNMENT IS FINE. ALSO, VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE RUST UNDERNEATH (WE HAVE NEVER TOWED ANY BOATS OR ANYTHING REMOTELY CLOSE TO THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF THE VEHICLE.) *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
IN THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT SLOW SPEED (APPROX. 10 MPH). WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE NOSE OF THE VEHICLE DOVE DOWN. FRONT BRAKES MADE A LOUD BANGING SOUND AND VIBRATION COULD BE FELT IN VEHICLE CABIN. THERE WAS A CONSIDERABLE REDUCTION IN BRAKE PERFORMANCE, TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. BRAKE LIGHT IN VEHICLE ILLUMINATED AS WELL. THESE SAME SYMPTOMS HAVE OCCURRED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, UNDER VARIOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO LOCAL DEALER TODAY AND A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM WAS PROVIDED. DEALER RE-PROGRAMMED VDC (CODE 1179) AT A COST TO ME, BUT WOULD NOT GUARANTEE THIS WOULD PERMANENTLY FIX THE PROBLEM. IF PROBLEM PERSISTS, DEALER RECOMMENDS DELT STROKE SENSOR/BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACEMENT AT CONSIDERABLE COST TO ME. AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS CONDITION COULD BE DEADLY. *TR

VISIBILITY, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TODAY, MY FAMILY & I ALMOST BOUGHT THE FARM WHEN THE BRAKES WENT OUT ON A FREEWAY OFF RAMP ON OUR WAY BACK FROM PHOENIX. WE EXITED THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP AT THE LIGHT. THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD SCRAPING NOISE, WERE NON-FUNCTIONAL AND WE WERE APPROACHING CROSS TRAFFIC AT 60 - 70 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY DROPPED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, STARTED TO APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE AND HEADED FOR THE DIRT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FIGURING I WOULD RATHER HIT A TREE OR FENCE THAN T-BONE A VEHICLE IN THE CROSS TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY RUBBING THE PASSENGER TIRES ON THE CURB TO CREATE FRICTION TO STOP. THE VEHICLE MILEAGE TODAY IS 61,707. THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AS WE HAD TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF & APPARENTLY WHEN RESTARTED, IT REBOOTED A SENSOR THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. (INFO FROM NISSAN DEALER). THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE WILL END UP DEAD DUE TO THIS PROBLEM IF NISSAN DOES NOT FIX IT. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED A TOTAL OF FIVE TIMES WITHIN A YEARS TIME. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM WAS A MALFUNCTIONING SENSOR IN THE MASTER CYLINDER OR THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAILED AND THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING. UPDATED IVOQ 07/15/10.*JB *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND HAS BECOME WORSE. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS WIFE RECEIVED A TRAFFIC CITATION FOR GOING THROUGH A STOP SIGN BECAUSE THE BRAKES FAILED AS SHE ATTEMPTED TO STOP. OFTEN, WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED, THE PEDAL WOULD GO STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND A LOUD METALLIC SCRAPING SOUND COULD BE HEARD AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES. THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, PER A TECHNICIAN AT A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WAS TO COAST TO A STOP AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, WAIT 15 SECONDS, THEN START IT AGAIN. THE TECHNICIAN STATED IT RESETS A SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE BRAKES WILL WORK FINE FOR A SHORT TIME. UPDATED IVOQ 09/15/11

I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TAKE AN EXIT AND THE BRAKES FELT LIKE THEY JUST DIDN'T WORK WHICH RESULTED IN ME MISSING THE EXIT, STRIKING A MEDIAN WITH THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE, THEN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER. VERY SOON AFTER MY ACCIDENT, I RECEIVED A RE-CALL FROM NISSAN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THAT WOULD INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCE AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE AN INSPECTION TO BE DONE, TO RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A FAULTY BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A PARKED POSITION, SOMETIMES THE BRAKES WILL MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN PRESSED. IF YOU HIT YOUR BRAKES DURING THIS PERIOD THERE IS A GRIND PULSATING FEELING IN THE BRAKES. I DON'T KNOW IF THE BRAKES ARE REALLY EVEN WORKING DURING THIS TIME, BUT THE ONLY THE WAY TO CLEAR THIS IS TO SOMEHOW STOP THE CAR WITHOUT DESTROYING SOMETHING AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTING IT. THIS SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT IT WILL INTERMITTENTLY DO IT AGAIN IN ABOUT A MONTH OR SO. IS NISSAN DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? I NEVER REALLY FEEL SECURE DRIVING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN I 'M AT FULL SPEED AND REALLY NEED THE BRAKES! *TR
