SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 30 MPH DOWN CITY STREET IN MORNING TRAFFIC, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON AND WHEN I TRY TO BRAKE THE CAR MAKE A GRINDING NOISE AND I DO NOT HAVE FULL BRAKING POWER. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF IT RESETS AND THE CAR RESUMES TO FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. LOCAL MECHANIC TESTED ONCE, GOT NO CODES SO REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER. A WEEK LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN; TOOK IT BACK AND GOT A CODE C1179-BRAKE BOOSTER....A $900+ JOB. REFUSE TO PAY THIS KIND OF MONEY WHEN RESEARCH SHOW THAT THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WROTE TO NISSAN BUT GOT NO REPLY. CONDUCTED A SEARCH AND FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

ENGINE
WE PURCHASED OUR CAR USED WITH 53,000 MILES ON IT. UPON REACHING 60,000 MILES WE HEARD SOME KNOCKING AND PERIODICALLY SMELLED EXHAUST IN THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THAT BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND NEEDED REPLACED. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT NISSAN DID EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE ON SOME 2006 ARMADAS TO 80,000 MILES, HOWEVER THE TIME PERIOD HAD BEEN TOO LONG FOR OUR CAR TO BE COVERED. I CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD HELP US WITH, AND WERE NOT EVEN WILLING TO TELL ME IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL ONLINE, AND IT APPEARS THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH ISSUES YET FOR NISSAN TO TAKE ANY REALLY RESPONSIBILITY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON MARCH 18, 2016, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 NISSAN ARMADA AT APPROX 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE LOST POWER, LUCKILY MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO STEER AND COAST VEHICLE TO THE SIDE.THIS COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGEDY.GAS TANK NEEDLE INDICATED THAT VEHICLE HAD A QUARTER TANK OF GAS IN IT. NO LOW GAS LIGHT INDICATOR WAS ON OR EVER CAME ON!! OUR TEENAGE SON HAD BEEN DRIVING IT FOR OVER A WEEK. WHAT IF HE WAS DRIVING THIS WHEN THIS OCCURRED, HE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE!!!! VEHICLE WAS AT 87,632 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I CAME TO THIS WEBSITE AND OBSERVED WHERE OTHER DRIVERS HAD THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPEN.ALSO OBSERVED WHERE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS FLAW IN THE ARMADA. I ADVISED MY HUSBAND ABOUT THIS AFTER HE HAD ALREADY CALLED A TOW TRUCK. ONCE HE PUT GAS IN IT, IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD, BUT IT WAS ONLY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT SAVED MY HUSBAND SURELY NOT NISSAN!! USUALLY KEEP A 1/2 OF TANK OF GAS OR MORE, BUT TEENAGE SON HAD BEEN DRIVING IT FOR THE LAST WEEK. WHAT IF MY TEENAGER WAS DRIVING IT WHEN IT SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY?? THIS PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE SAME OUTCOME.NO LOW GAS LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON TO WARN MY HUSBAND THAT GAS WAS LOW. MY HUSBAND, SON OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!! AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT MILEAGE WAS AT 87,632

SERVICE BRAKES
ISSUE IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND DELTA SENSOR. TRUCK HAS 85000 MILES ON IT. THE BRAKES KEEP FAILING, AND YOU NEED TO PULL OVER, AND RESTART THE TRUCK TO GET GOING AGAIN, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES. NISSAN HAS LOOKED AT IT, BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY WITNESS IT. OR THEY READ THE CODE.HOWEVER, WHEN YOU SHUT OFF THE ENGINE TO CLEAR BRAKES, AND IT CLEARS THE CODE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

IT HAD A RECALL WHEN I WENT TO THE NISSAN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ALREADY GOT THAT SERVICE IN OTHER DEALER BY THE FIRST OWNER. I TOLD THEM THE VEHICLE WAS DOING THE SAME THAT THE RECALL SAID AND THAT THE NISSAN TOLD ME TO GO THERE. SO THEY TOLD ME THEY CANT HELP ME BECAUSE MY TRUCK ALREADY GOT THE SERVICE. SO NOW IM AFRAID TO USE IT BECAUSE IS DANGEROUS AND NOBODY KNOW HOW TO HELP ME AND ALSO THE SCANNER DOESN'T GIVE US ANY TROUBLE CODE. IT ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE ITS LOOK LIKE ELECTRIC PROBLEM WHEN I SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND START IT AGAIN THE PROBLEM IS GONE. ABOUT THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE SAME SIGNALS THAT SAY THE RECALL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT WAS THE FUEL PUMP BUT I REALIZE IT HAVE TO HAPPEN FREQUENTLY AND ISNT, THEM I REALIZE IT HAVE TO BE ELECTRIC PROBLEM BC THAT HAPPEN FIRST THEM THE BREAK ISSUE SO IM PRETTY SURE IS ELECTRICAL OR THE SUV COMPUTER.
