PURCHASED A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA IN DECEMBER 2004. NOTICEABLE SHAKING IN STEERING WHEEL COLUMN WHEN BRAKING. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN BRAKING FROM SPEEDS GREATER THAN 40 MPH. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH STEERING WHEEL SHAKING, WHICH THE SERVICE ADVISOR EXPLAINED, IS DUE TO ROTOR BECOMING HEATED AND WARPED. HE SAID THAT THEY HAVE A TEMPORARY FIX FOR THE PROBLEM - CHANGING BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, AND INSTALLING A BOLT SOMEHWERE, AND THAT NISSAN WAS WORKING ON A PERMANENT FIX. I WISH I NEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEFORE I DISHED OUT THE BIG BUCKS. HOPEFULLY, THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT POSE A DEADLY HAZARD IN THE NOT TO DISTANT FUTURE.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
THE NISSAN ARMADA HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH A MUCH INFERIOR BRAKE SYSTEM, REGARDING TO THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THE ARMADA. THEY HAD CUT COSTS BY INSTALLING A NISSAN FRONTIER BRAKE SYSTEM WHICH WEIGHS ABOUT HALF THE WEIGHT OF A NISSAN ARMADA. THIS HAS CAUSED THE BRAKES TO GIVE OUT EVERY 5000 MILES AND ALSO CREATES AN UNSAFE BRAKING SYSTEM. IT ALSO ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO DIVE WHEN BRAKING NOT GIVING A SAFE BRAKING REACTION TIME. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE CONSTANTLY REPLACED MY BRAKES (3 TIMES WITHIN 15,OOO MILES) AND DID ADMIT THAT NISSAN HAS ADMITTED TO PUTTING AN INFERIOR BRAKING SYSTEM.

BRAKE ROTOR WARPING ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP BY MANY OWNERS. ROTORS WERE TURNED AND IT NEEDS IT AGAIN 2500 MILES LATER. I REQUESTED THAT THE ROTORS BE REPLACED BUT REQUEST WAS DENIED. IT SEEMS THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE FRONT OF THE ARMADA IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THE VEHICLE WEIGHT. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN FOR THE SAME SERVICE THIS TIME DEMANDING THAT THE ROTORS BE REPLACED. NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO CHANGE THE SIZE OF THE BRAKE ROTORS, PADS, ENTIRE SYSTEM IF NECESSARY. *JB
