SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. I AM HAVING A ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE BRAKES LOCK AND THERE IS A SCREECHING NOISE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN STORE AND THEY SAID THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. IT COST $120.00 FOR THEM TO TELL ME IT WOULD TAKE $900 TO FIX IT. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2008 NISSAN ARMADA BUT WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE PRIOR. ONCE DURING THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS 2011 AND ANOTHER TIME IN JANUARY. IF I KILL THE CAR AND RE-START IT, IT SEEMS TO BE OK. THOSE TWO TIMES WEREN'T MAJOR BUT THIS LAST TIME WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. WHEN I TALK TO THE NISSAN REP, SHE TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THE CASE WAS CLOSED. I AM FURIOUS WITH NISSAN AND THEIR LACK OF CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY. THIS IS THE THIRD NISSAN I HAVE OWNED AND IT WILL BE THE LAST. I HAD HEARD THAT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE AND NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY. THERE IS A LAWSUIT IN THE WORKS FOR THIS REASON WHICH I AM ABOUT TO JOIN IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE. I JUST WANT MY BREAK BOOSTER FIXED AND FOR NISSAN TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE. THAT IS ALL I AM ASKING. I WANT MY ARMADA TO BE PART OF THE RECALL. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I BOUGHT THIS 2006 NISSAN ARMADA BRAND NEW. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY. THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON AND A GRIDING NOISE COMES OUT WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID IT SOFWARE ISSUE WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE AND IT WORKED FOR COUPLE OF YEARS THEN AGAIN AND AGAIN, I SPEND ABOUT $160 EACH TIME TO CORRECT THE SOFTWARE NOW. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT NEEDS SOME PARTS AND SOFTWHERE UPGRADE ABOUT $750, SO I PARKED THE CAR AND I'M LOOKING FOR OTHER ALTERNATIVES. ANY ONE KNOW OF A RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA HAS THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN NHTSA #10V-074. NISSAN CLAIMS MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGHT THE RECALL IS FOR 2005 - 2009 NISSAN ARMADAS. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE A SAFETY PROBLEM, LEARN THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF IT AND HAS A RECALL, BUT TO BE TOLD THAT IT DOESN'T APPLY TO YOUR VEHICLE. CLEARLY IT DOES, BECAUSE I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM DESCRIBED, "ISSUE CAN CAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN FUEL TANK IS EMPTY." *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. EVERY 3-6 MONTHS THE BRAKES WILL MAKE A SCARY NOISE (CAN'T REALLY DESCRIBE IT - GRINDING/CLANKING), THE BRAKES WORK AT ABOUT 10% AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT, THE NOISE DISAPPEARS AND THE BRAKES WORK AT 100% ONCE AGAIN. SO FAR IT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN A SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY. IF IT DOES, THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH. I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED ABOUT THIS ONE "SAME" PROBLEM AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT MORE THE CONSUMERS CAN DO, BUT I WILL BE CONTACTING NISSAN AND OTHERS TO SEE WHAT MORE CAN BE DONE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DRIVING ALONG AND VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND SHUTS DOWN, COASTING TO A STOP. UNABLE TO RESTART. GAS GAUGE SHOWS APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TANK OF GAS REMAINING YET IT WILL NOT START. UPON GETTING SOME GAS AND PUTTING IT IN TANK, VEHICLE STARTS AGAIN AND CONTINUES TO RUN AND IS DRIVEN TO GAS STATION FOR ADDITIONAL GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON APPROXIMATELY 10 OCCASIONS. CALLED THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIR RECALL ON FUEL SENDING UNITS FOR NISSAN ARMADAS DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. WAS INSTRUCTED TO SEEK FURTHER ASSISTANCE AND DIAGNOSIS FROM DEALER OR REPAIR SHOP OF MY CHOICE. DECLINED TO REPAIR & SERVICE MY VEHICLE REGARDING MY COMPLAINT. FURTHER RESEARCH ON MY PART HAS FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY NISSAN ARMADA VEHICLES THAT DO NOT FALL UNDER THE NISSAN RECALL UMBRELLA, WITH NISSAN DECLINING TO ADDRESS OR REPAIR THOSE VEHICLES AS WELL. NISSAN REFUSES TO RESEARCH INTO THESE COMPLAINTS WITH A BLANKET DENIAL THAT THESE VEHICLES DO NOT FALL INTO THEIR 'DETERMINED' LIST OF VEHICLE AFFECTED WITH THIS ISSUE. I WOULD MERELY LIKE MY COMPLAINT TO BE ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED ACCORDINGLY. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN JULY 2005. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND I GO TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND MY BRAKES MADE SHUTTERING AND CLANGING NOISES. THEN I NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO STOP I HEARD THAT NOISE AND HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING I ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS ABOUT 20 MILES FROM THE DEALER SO I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHT ON AND DROVE ON THE FAR LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE BETWEEN 10 TO 30 MILES/HR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC UNTIL I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE I GOT TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM. HE SEEMED TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE HE HAD EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER CALLED ME TO EXPLAIN THAT THE DELTA SENSOR INSIDE THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED AND IT WOULD COST ME OVER $900.00. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
AS I WAS DRIVING AT STOP AND GO TRAFFIC SPEEDS OF 25 MPH OR LESS, MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A SPONGY FEELING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AS WELL AS A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO SEARS AND THEY DID A BRAKE INSPECTION (MECHANICAL) AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. PAID FOR A BRAKE INSPECTION AND THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE PADS BUT I HAD RECENTLY INSPECTED BRAKES AT ANOTHER SHOP THAT DID NOT RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT. ON 2/28/12, SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, INSPECTED BRAKE FLUID (SAT) AND STARTED THE ENGINE BACK UP WITH NO SIGNS OF FAILURE. TOOK VEHICLE TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC AND CODE READER FOUND C1179 DELTA STROKE SENSOR FAULT. HE RESET IT AND PROBLEM HAS SINCE GONE AWAY BUT I AM WEARY OF BRAKE RELIABILITY IN THE FUTURE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 2006 ARMADA HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES WHERE THE BRAEK LIGHT COMES ON, THERE IS A TERRIBLE GRINDING SOUND, & I LOSE ABOUT 75% OF MY BRAKE FUNCTION. I ONLY PURCHASED THIS TRUCK ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO & IT HAS HAPPENED 3X. NO TELLING HOW MANY TIMES IT HAPPENED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NISSAN FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THIS IS HAPPENING EVEN THOUGH A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WILL SHOW 100S, IF NOT 1000S OF ARMADA OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE ASAP!! THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T "RECREATE" THE PROBLEM TO FIX IT, BUT IT'S LIKELY IF THEY COULD, THEN THEY'D HAVE TO ADMIT WHAT WAS WRONG & THAT IT IS NISSAN'S FAULT. BEWARE!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP AND I COULDN'T. THE BRAKES STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE AND THE E-BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. IT SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH FOR ME TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND FINALLY ABLE TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP. I PUT IT IN PARK CHECKED THE E-BRAKE AND IT WASN'T ON AND PUT BACK INTO DRIVE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN A SLOW ROLL I CHECKED THE BRAKES AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I PUT IT IN PARK TURNED IT OFF AND CALLED MT HUSBAND. WHEN TURNED HE TURNED IT BACK ON THE E-BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE BRAKES WORKED. *TR

DEAR SIR OR MA'AM: ON CHRISTMAS EVE, IN THE EVENING, MY HUSBAND, DAUGHTER, AND I WERE DRIVING BACK HOME FROM FAIRFIELD, ILLINOIS TO GLEN CARBON, ILLINOIS, WHEN OUR 2007 NISSAN ARMADA FAILED US. THERE WAS A HOUSE A SHORT WALK DOWN THE ROAD, SO MY HUSBAND RAN DOWN THERE FOR ASSISTANCE. OBVIOUSLY, IT WAS COLD AND DARK OUTSIDE. MY DAUGHTER (4 YEARS OLD) AND I (PREGNANT AT THE TIME) STAYED INSIDE THE LOCKED CAR. MY HUSBAND CAME BACK QUICKLY AS THERE WAS NO ANSWER AT THE DOOR OF SAID HOUSE. HE THEN CALLED HIS SISTER WHOM WAS AN HOUR AWAY TO HAVE HER COME HELP ASSIST US. MEANWHILE A MAN STOPPED AND OFFERED TO HELP. HE OFFERED A JUMP START AND GAS. NEITHER WORKED BUT HE WAS ABLE TO CALL A LOCAL ACQUAINTANCE OF HIS TO TOW OUR VEHICLE. THE CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE ON CHRISTMAS EVE WAS $350. SO MY HUSBAND'S SISTER PICKED US UP, AND OUR CAR WAS TOWED THE REMAINING 45 MINUTE DISTANCE TO OUR HOME. AFTER ALL WAS SAID AND DONE, IT TURNS OUT THE CAR JUST NEEDED AN EXTRA GALLON OF GAS TO GET IT STARTED. NOW ALMOST THIRTY DAYS AFTER THIS INCIDENT, I AM IN RECEIPT OF A RECALL NOTICE FROM NISSAN STATING THAT: THE FUEL GAUGE MAY BE INACCURATE DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. GIVEN THAT, WE FILE THIS COMPLAINT. I BELIEVE NISSAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF OUR CHRISTMAS EVE WHICH COST US SEVERAL HOURS AND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE, WENT AROUND THE EXIT RAMP. THE BRAKES DEPRESSED FARTHER THAN NORMAL AND MADE A GRINDING SOUND. THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ONE. THE VEHICLE SHOOK WHILE I TRIED TO BRAKE. I NARROWLY MISSED THE GUARDRAIL AND MANAGED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN, ALTHOUGH IT TOOK LONGER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE, AND I DROVE SLOWLY TO A SERVICE STATION NEARBY. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED, AND I WAS TOLD I HAD BEEN DRIVING WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON AND THAT THE BRAKES HAD JUST "HEATED UP". I WASN'T DRIVING WITH THE PARKING BREAK ON THOUGH. IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER AND WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT SERVICE STATION. THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT NEEDED TO GO TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE SERVICE CODES PULLED, AND THAT THERE HAD BEEN BRAKING ISSUES WITH THE MODEL AND YEAR. FURTHER INVESTIGATION ONLINE REVEALED IT CAN BE FIXED BY SHUTTING CAR OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN, AT RANDOM TIMES WITH NO ANTECEDENT. I DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY AND LEAVE PLENTY OF BRAKING ROOM, AS I AM NERVOUS ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BRAKES AND MY ABILITY TO STOP. PLEASE HAVE NISSAN ADDRESS AND FIX THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM!
