DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE CONTACT COMPLAINED ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY THE FRONT BRAKES. HE HAS ALREADY DECIDED THAT IT WAS THE FRONT BRAKES BECAUSE HE COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. . ALSO, BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AND FADED. THERE WAS 14,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, AND HE HAS BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. HE REFUSED TO LET HIS WIFE OR FAMILY DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE. AT FIRST HE THOUGHT THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE DISC BRAKES, PADS, AND THE ROTORS THAT RUSTED, BUT AFTERWARDS HE DECIDED THAT THIS WAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE SITTING ON THE LOT. BUT SINCE THE PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WHEN BRAKING HARD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE BRAKES WILL SHUTTER AND FADE. THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE WITH THE HIGHEST TOWING PACKAGE AND WHEN TOWING SOMETHING HE FELT LIKE HE WAS GOING TO CRASH WITH THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT GOT SO WORSE. HE CONTACTED A DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HIM THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE BRAKES BY A BY OWNER BASIS BUT HAD NO PLANS IN MAKING THIS A RECALL. THERE HAS ALMOST BEEN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE RETIRED FROM THE SHERIFF' S DEPARTMENT AND HAS BEEN TO PROFESSIONAL DRIVING SCHOOL. THEREFORE, THE CONTACT DID KNOW HOW VEHICLES WERE SUPPOSE TO BE HANDLED. *AK

DT: THE CALLER COMPLAINED ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM. SHE SAID THE BRAKE ROTORS WORE OUT. THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ALL THE TIME AND IT WAD HARD TO KEEP CONTROL OF VEHICLE. SHE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE TIRES, THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES. MANUFACTURER SAID SHE HAS AFTERMARKET WHEELS ON VEHICLE, AND THEY WERE NO LONGER LIABLE. DEALER SAID THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURE WAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF PAYING FOR IT. VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, AND IF SHE NEEDED ANY MORE WORK DONE ON BRAKES SHE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT HERSELF. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
CONTINUOUS BRAKE SHUDDER VIBRATES THRU STEERING WHEEL. SEATS SQUEEK. FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T MOVE TO THE FULL MARK WHEN FUEL NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME FOR THE BRAKE PROBLEM AND THE THIRD TIME FOR THE FUEL GAUGE. THEY REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACE THE ROTORS AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY ALL THESE PROBLEMS IN LESS THAN A YEAR FOR MY 2004 ARMADA. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN ANY RECALLS I SEE ALL THESE COMPLAINTS AND I'VE COMPLAINED MANY TIMES. I THINK WE SHOULD BE REFUNDED OUR MONEY ON THE VEHICLES OR GET A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE 22,000 MILES. AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR THESE SO CALLED REPAIR KITS THAT THERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE ITS BEEN MONTHS. WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO WHEN OUR WARRENTY RUNS OUT!!!

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I OWN A NISSAN ARMADA SUV (MODEL LE 5.6 V8). THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 3/2005 AND NOW HAS SOME 3000 MILES. WE EXPERIENCED STRONG VIBRATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE BRAKING AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE RENO (NV) DEALERSHIP. YESTERDAY, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT NISSAN HAS A PROBLEM WITH ALL ARMADA & TITAN MODELS OF 2004/2005 AND THE PROBLEM IS CAUSING ALL BRAKES TO VIBRATE AS THE BRAKE DISCS TOUCH THE BRAKE PADS. THIS IS APPARENTLY SOMETHING THAT NISSAN KNOWS FOR A WHILE BECAUSE ALL THE PARTS ARE ON "BACK ORDER" AND WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND INVOLVES > 100,000 VEHICLES. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT THE PROBLEM MAY COME BACK IN A FEW MONTHS / THOUSANDS OF MILES AND FOR THE MEANTIME THE "BRAKES WERE WARPED" WHICH IS A TEMPORARY FIX. WE ARE INTERESTED TO INVESTIGATE WHY (A) NISSAN HAS NOT DECLARED A FORMAL RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND MAKE CUSTOMERS AWARE THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS AND (B) TO FIND OUT IF THE PROBLEM IS HAZARDOUS TO LIFE AND IF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT: CONTACT OWNED A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. T WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES FRONT END SHAKES. THE PEOPLE AT NISSAN'S CORPORATE OFFICE THOUGHT THIS WAS NOT A BIG DEAL BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT RECALL. HOWEVER, THE GOVERNMENT BECAME INVOLVED, AND THAT WAS WHY CONSUMER ENLISTING Y HELP. I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH FRONT ROTORS IN FEBRUARY OF 2004. TOOK VEHICLE TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHO FIXED THE PROBLEM BY ROTATING THE ROTORS. THEN , ON JUNE. I HAD SAME THE SAME PROBLEM . CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AGAIN AND THEY CHECKED THE FRONT END AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH THE ARMADA, AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART FOR THE VEHICLE, AND THAT IT WOULD BE ABOUT THREE WEEKS. THREE WEEKS WERE UP SATURDAY JULY 16. CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON JULY 15 AND SPOKE WITH SOMEONE FROM SERVICE. HE ADVISED CONSUMER T THAT THEY COULD NOT TELL WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIX THE TRUCK BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT ORDER THE PARTS FROM NISSAN. ALSO, THEY HAVE A STACK OF ORDER FORMS, AND IF CONSUMER CAME IN ABOUT TWO OR THREE WEEKS AGO THEN SHE WOULD HAVE HAD ABOUT 7 OR 8 PEOPLE AHEAD. WHEN CONSUME R TOLD HIM THAT SHE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND IT DID NOT MAKE HER FEEL ANY BETTER TO KNOW THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. DEALER THEN SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE. CONSUMER ASKED HIM HOW COULD IT BE SAFE WHEN THE FRONT END SHAKES. *AK *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN NOVEMBER 2004 I PURCHASED THE ARMADA 2004. I DROVE IT TO FLORIDA IN DECEMBER 2004 AND LEFT IT IN MY HOUSE. I LEFT WITH THE MILITARY UNTIL JUNE 2005, I DROVE THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL JULY 2005, IN WHICH, ONE MORNING I TRY TO TURN IT ON, THE VEHICLE DID NOT START AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THE BATTERY OR STARTER WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE BATTERY GAGE WENT FROM HALF WAY TO THE NEGATIVE SIDE AND THEN BACK TO THE MIDDLE AND ONCE AGAIN TO THE NEGATIVE SIDE AGAIN. THE CONTROL SYSTEMS ARE STILL SHOWING NEGATIVE INFORMATION OF BEING OFF OR ON. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IN FOR A CHECK UP DUE TO I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE IN NY AND I AM IN FL. I HAVE TO CHECK WITH THE NY DEALER IF I COULD TAKE IT ANY NISSAN DEALERSHIPS IN FL. I WILL REPORT BACK ON ANY INFORMATION FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. IF ANY ONE HAS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM POST IT THANK YOU. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
DT: CONSUMER STATED THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE AND PULL TO THE RIGHT. HE WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE WHO DID NOT WORK FOR NISSAN BUT FOR ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR THAT THE ROTORS WERE NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP, AND HE WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN WAS SENDING OUT THE REPAIR KITS AND WILL HAVE THE VEHICLES FIXED. CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL ,BUT NISSAN WAS FIXING THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TWICE, AND WAS TOLD IT WILL BE A CONTINUING PROBLEM UNTIL THE KIT ARRIVED TO FIX THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY. THE PROBLEM WAS BETTER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN I TO DEALER, BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED AFTER A WEEK.*AK *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
THERE ARE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN ARMADA 2005 VEHICLE. 1ST, THE BRAKES HAVE GONE OUT NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED. 2ND, NUMEROUS RATTLES THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE HAVE GONE UNFIXED BY NISSAN SERVICE - SOME RATTLES ARE SERIOUS ENOUGH TO WHERE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPENS A INCH OR SO OVER A LARGE BUMP IN THE ROAD (SOMETHING COULD BE WRONG WITH THE LATCHING MECHANISM OR FORM FIT BETWEEN THE DOOR AND BODY). THE REAR CARGO DOOR HAS RATTLE AND VIBRATION ISSUES. 3RD) A SERIOUS VISIBILITY ISSUE THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN IGNORED BY NISSAN SERVICE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. THERE IS A SERIOUS VISIUAL PROBLEM THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD THAT CAUSES DOUBLE VISION (SOME SORT OF OPTICAL ISSUE WITH CARLEX GLASS) - NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR DUE TO COMPARISON WITH OTHER ARMADAS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

ON THREE OCCASSIONS, AT MILEAGE 7500, 15000, AND 22000, THE FRONT ROTORS HAVE WARPED ON MY NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMANDA 4WD, CAUSING DANGEROUS STEERING AND DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS INCORRECTLY SIZED BRAKE PADS WHICH HEAT UP AND WARP THE ROTORS. NISSAN HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IN EACH CASE BY GRINDING AND/OR REPLACING THE ROTORS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS THE "ARMADA BRAKE ISSUE".

DT: 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT FRONT BRAKE ROTORS PROBLEM. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES , AND THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM, AND THEY WERE ONLY FIXING THIS IN SHORT TERM. IN TWO OR THREE MONTHS THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. CONSUMER SPOKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND GOING DOWN HILLS, AND SOON AS TAKING FOOT OFF THE GAS AND GOING TO APPLY THE BRAKES FRONT WHEELS, STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL SHAKE VERY BADLY. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO STOP. *AK

1) 130LB FEMALE ADULT SITTING PROPERLY IN THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS UNABLE TO ENGAGE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. NO MATTER THE SEATING POSITION, E.G. UPRIGHT, SLOUCHING OR OTHERWISE, THE INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWS SYSTEM IS DISABLED. 2) VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A SOLUTION, SUGGESTING THAT A GREATER WEIGHT WAS NECESSARY TO ENGAGE THE AIRBAG. 3) COMPARABLE VEHICLES, AND NISSAN DOCUMENTATION SHOW THAT WEIGHTS UNDER 60 LBS SHOULD DISABLE THE AIRBAG FEATURE. NISSAN IS DEFICIENT AND NEGLIGENT IN ALLOWING THIS VEHICLE TO BE OPERATING WITH A KNOWN SERIOUS DEFECT.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:PADS
WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE END OF 3/05. W/IN DAYS WE NOTICED A "SHIMMY" IN THE STEERING AND THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AT SPEEDS OF 50+. STEERING WOULD VEER TO THE LEFT AND WHEEL WOULD JERK TO SIDE WHEN ENCOUNTERING SLIGHT BUMPS IN THE ROAD. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE CAR WOULD VIBRATE & SHUDDER AND WAS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL (AT ANY SPEED). IT TOOK MORE PRESSURE THAN USUAL TO GET CAR TO STOP. THE MOST FRIGHTENING PART WAS THAT THE CAR WAS ESPECIALLY HARD TO CONTROL IN RAINY CONDITIONS. WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF BETWEEN 25-35 MPH, IN A MODERATE RAINFALL, THE CAR HYDROPLANED ON 5 OCCASSIONS WITHIN A DISTANCE OF APPROX. 60 MILES. ALSO, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK, I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED. IT WAS FINE AND THEY HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR THE LIGHT APPEARING. I WAS OUT OF STATE AT THE TIME & THEY SUGGESTED I BRING IT INTO MY DEALERSHIP. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED, WHICH IS WHAT I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY BALANCED MY TIRES AND TOLD ME THIS WAS WHY MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS GOING ON. AFTER THE PROBLEM CONTINUED, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM . I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE, BUT HAD NO IDEA WHEN THIS WOULD BE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND I AM FURIOUS THAT I CANNOT GET THE MANUFACTURER TO COMMIT TO A DATE THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THESE BRAKES. NISSAN N.A. REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE & MY DIFFICULTIES HANDLING THE VEHICLE IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS WAS "EXTERNAL". THE CAR IS HARD TO HANDLE IN THE BEST OF CONDITIONS. IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THAT THE MORE DIFFICULT THE DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE HARDER THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE TO CONTROL.

SHE BROUGHT IT TO DEALER ON 6-27-05, WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM THEY WERE HAVING WITH THE NISSANS AND RECOMMEND A REPAIR KIT TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

PARKING BRAKE:DRIVELINE:HYDRAULIC, SUSPENSION:FRONT
PURCHASED IN 11/2003, AND IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR CREAKING IN THE UNI-BODY, AND A HARMONIC HUM WHEN THE DEFROST WAS ON, ALONG WITH HAVING VISORS REPLACED. THEN WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD AFTER THAT THE TRUCK REACHED 3000 MILES AND WITH EVERY 3000 MILES THE BREAKS BEGIN TO PULSATE AND CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE MAKING DRIVING DIFFICULT. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE DEALERS FOR THIS THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AND THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED. ON THE NEXT VISIT, THE DEALERSHIP PUT ON A SO CALLED REPAIR KIT, WHICH WAS REPLACING THE ROTORS AND CHANGING THE PADS WITH AFTERMARKET PADS. AND THEN WHEN IT CAME TO THE THIRD TIME...I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD DO A QUICK FIX AND SUPPOSEDLY A REPLACEMENT KIT WAS IN THE WORKS. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE DOWN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, AND THE QUICK FIX I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT NISSAN SAID, NOT TO DO THE QUICK FIX, SINCE THE REPLACEMENT KIT IS AVAILABLE FOR ORDERING SOON. I HAD TO EXPLAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE PULSATING WAS SO BAD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER A VIVID DISCUSSION WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER THE VEHICLE WAS GIVEN THE QUICK FIX. WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT KIT. THE QUICK FIX WAS DONE IN MAY 2005. AND NO WORD HAS COME YET REGARDING THIS SO CALLED "REPLACEMENT KIT".

TIRES:SIDEWALL
DT: WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HEARD A SOUND OF EXPLOSION AND IT WAS THE TIRE THAT EXPLODED ON THE FREEWAY. WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH. THEN PULLED OVER TO CHANGE IT WITH THE SPARE. I SAW A HOLE ABOUT SIX INCHES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TIRE WALL NOT IN FRONT SIDE. THIS WAS THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. CALLED NISSAN DEALER. THEY SAID TO CONTACT THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. CONSUMER CALLED CONTINENTAL TIRES. AND THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. THE ONLY OPTION WAS THAT CONSUMER PURCHASED A NEW TIRES WHICH COST $300.00. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE CAR WAS CHECKED , AND HAD NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS . NISSAN DEALER SAID TO CALL BACK CONTINENTAL TIRES. CALLED THE AGAIN AND CONTINENTAL TIRES DID NOT WANTED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. AS OF NOW CONSUMER COULD NOT DRIVE WITH THE SPARE TIRE, AND COMPLAINED AGAINST CONTINENTAL TIRES.*AK
