SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE BRAKES ON OUR 2006 NISSAN ARMADA HAS MADE A VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE AS YOU BRAKE AND THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BEFORE. THE LATEST WAS THIS MORNING AS I DROVE TO WORK. IT CONTINUED UNTIL I ARRIVED AT MY PARKING SPACE. ONCE BEFORE WHEN WE HEARD THIS SOUND, WE TOOK IT AND HAD THE BRAKE PADS CHANGED AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME TO NOT HAVE ANY NORMAL PUT ON THE TIRES, THIS MIGHT CAUSE THE SOUND AS WELL (WHAT?). ANYWAY, THE SOUND IS LIKE SPRINGS POPPING AND AS YOU BRAKE, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES UP AND DOWN AND SCRUBS REALLY LOUD. WE'VE PAID TO HAVE THE PADS CHANGED AND THE NEW ROTORS. THIS REALLY EXPENSIVE. WHAT'S NEXT? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1. WHILE DRIVING ON I-285 EASTBOUND, I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE DRIVERS THAT MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA WAS ON FIRE. 2. FIRE STARTED ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR. I AM NOT AN EXPERT, THEREFORE, DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED FIRE. HOWEVER , I WANT TO FILE A CLAIM FOR SOMEONE LOOK INTO. H.E.R.O UNIT MENTIONED TO ME THAT IT COULD BE DUE TO SHORT CIRCUIT. I HAVE HEARD THINGS ABOUT NISSAN ARMADA'S ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I NEVER KNEW IT COULD CAUSE FIRE LIKE THAT. MY VEHICLE IS TOTALED. I HAVE PICTURES AND VEHICLE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS FAILED TWICE. AT 40,000 MILES AND 80,000 MILES. NISSAN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 40K WITH SAME DEFECTIVE MANIFOLDS WHICH FAILED AGAIN AT 80K. NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE WITH SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS FOR A TOTAL OF $2400.00. LEAKS WEREN'T DISCOVERED TILL 83K MILES. I NOW OWN A VEHICLE THAT HAS CONSISTENTLY LEAKED CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE PASSEGER CABIN. MY SPOUSE IS WONDERING IF THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF MY SIX YEAR OLD'S BRAIN CANCER WHICH WAS DIAGNOSED 4 YEARS AGO WHEN THE MANIFOLDS WERE LEAKING FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN HER DAILY DRIVER SINCE NEW. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN ARMADA AND TITAN VEHICLES HAVE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT FAIL BETWEEN 30/40K AND NISSAN REPLACES WITH SAME DEFECTIVE PART. *KB

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
BRAKES ON 2005 ARMADA WENT OUT AND STARTED TO GRIND AND STICK, COULD NOT DUPLICATE AFTER RE STARTING VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND I CANNOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE ON CUE. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE DAY IT WAS DRIVEN OFF OF THE DEALERS LOT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE NEVER KNOWING WHEN BRAKES WILL FAIL AND I HAVE TO FIND A PLACE TO STOP TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF TO RESET THE VEHICLE. LISTEN NISSAN SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA FUEL GAUGE IS READING INCORRECTLY. WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE GETS DOWN TO 1/4 OF A TANK IT STOPS REGISTERING. I FOUND THIS OUT BECAUSE TWICE I THOUGHT I HAD A 1/4 OF A TANK LEFT BUT THERE WAS ACTUALLY NO GAS IN MY TANK AND I RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN OF MCKINNEY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL AND COULDN'T FIX IT, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL FOR THE ARMADA. I SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN AND THEY REJECTED MY REQUEST TO HAVE NISSAN PAY FOR IT BECAUSE MY VIN WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. IF NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ARAMDA WHY WOULDN'T ALL ARMADA BE COVERED? *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
SAFETY ISSUE WITH DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR MAT ON A NISSAN ARMADA. THE GROMMET THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE FLOOR MAT IN PLACE RIPPED AND NOW THE FLOOR MAT NO LONGER STAYS IN PLACE. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO CALL NISSAN USA, WHICH I DID. THEY SAID B/C MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY CAN'T REPLACE THE FLOOR MAT. THIS IS AN ISSUE B/C THE FLOOR MAT KEEPS SLIDING TOWARDS THE FOOT PEDALS AND COULD GET TRAPPED THERE, THUS LIMITING MY BREAKING ABILITY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
WHEN MY 2005 ARMADA BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE THAT ALSO SOUNDED LIKE A SPRING. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED MY ARMADA AND THE BRAKE LIGHT AND NOISE WENT AWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SO THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER, AGAIN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. THEY SAID NEXT TIME THE ISSUE COMES UP DO NOT TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BRING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN TEST IT WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT ON. THIS WAS VERY INCONVENIENT BECAUSE THE NEXT TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED. FINALLY WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP WAS OPEN AND THEY WERE ABLE TO TEST IT. IT TURNS OUT THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS FAILING AND WOULD COST $900 TO FIX. SINCE MY ARMADA WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY IT WAS NOT COVERED BUT WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ORIGINALLY I HAD 30K MILES, PLUS I BOUGHT A 75K EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THE BRAKES SHOULD BE THE SAFEST THING ON YOUR VEHICLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHEN DRIVING OUR NISSAN ARMADA, THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE UPON BRAKING. A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE BRAKE LIGHT APPEARS. AS THE CAR IS STILL MOVING & BRAKING AGAIN, THE GRINDING IS STILL THERE & IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL, HOWEVER, WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT FEELS LIKE THERE ARE NO BRAKES. I WOULD HAVE TO BRAKE WELL AHEAD TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AS I ACCELARTE THE GAS, THE ARMADA HAS A HARD TIME PICKING UP SPEED (THIS IS A V8 VEHICLE WITH LOTS OF POWER) & FEELS SLUGGISH TRYING TO GO BEYOND 40 MILES PER HOUR. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN CAR OFF COMPLETELY FOR A FEW MINUTES & RESTART VEHICLE. WE HAVE 2 CHILDREN THAT WE DRIVE AROUND IN THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH THE BRAKE PROBLEM. THIS INSTANCE HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN 4 OCCASIONS & BOTH MY HUSBAND & I EXPERIENCED IT. MY HUSBAND WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED TO HIM. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WENT STRAIGHT OVER TO NISSAN WITH KIDS IN TOW & PAID APPROXIMATELY $85 WITH NO RESULTS. SERVICE TECH STATES THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG & DID NOT FIX ANYTHING. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS BRAKING PROBLEM. THE BRAKING PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK. I STOPPED FOR A MINUTE, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, & RESTARTED IT. THE PROBLEM THIS TIME DID NOT GO AWAY. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE. DOES SOMETHING TRAGIC NEED TO HAPPEN FIRST BEFORE NISSAN ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM? THERE ARE NUMEROUS FORUMS ON THE WEB CLAIMING BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN ARMADA, HOWEVER, IT HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY ADDRESSED OR FIXED PERMANTLY. I DID MY RESEARCH & ALL I CAN SEE ARE TEMPORARY FIXES. PLEASE...PLEASE...BEFORE ANYTHING TRAGIC MAY HAPPEN (EX: TOYOTA/LEXUS BRAKE RECALLS), HAVE NISSAN FIND A PERMANENT SOLUTION. THERE ARE MANY ARMADA DRIVERS OUT THERE THAT ARE AT A HIGH RISK OF AN ACCIDENT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND A CAR UNEXPECTEDLY PUT ON THE BRAKES IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD TO HIT MINE SUDDENLY. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND MAKE A SOUND LIKE TIN CANS GETTING CRUSHED AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO DO THIS UNTIL I GOT TO MY DESTINATION. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. MY BRAKES WOULDN'T STOP CORRECTLY AND I WAS SCARED I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO STOP. I HAD MY HUSBAND LEAVE HIS JOB AN HOUR AWAY AND COME GET ME. HE DROVE IT TO THE CLOSEST BRAKE SHOP. THEY DIDN'T SEE ANY ISSUES SUCH AS PADS, FLUID, ETC AND IT WASN'T SYMPTOMATIC. WHEN TURNING OFF THE CAR AND BACK ON, IT CLEARED UP. THE BRAKE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN APPROX 1 1/2 WEEK LATER AND ON A SATURDAY, THEN ON THE SUN. I WAS NOT AT HOME AT THE TIME. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MY ARMADA HAD THIS ISSUE WITH 1000'S OF OWNERS OF THIS MODEL. THERE IS EVEN SERVICE TECH BULLETINS. THE CODE CLEARS AND WILL FIX TEMPORARILY WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I CAN EASILY LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT B/C THE BRAKES WILL NOT STOP LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IT WILL COST 810.00. THEY SAID NISSAN WILL NOT COVER IT SINCE IT IS NOT RECALLED. THIS IS NOT A MAINTAINANCE ISSUE THIS IS A FACTORY FLAW. THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T HAVE THE PART FOR 2 DAYS AND TOLD ME NOT TO GO GREAT DISTANCES BECAUSE THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER REPAIRS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I SHOULD PROCEDE HOME WITH CAUTION. *TT

MY BRAKES LOCK UP ON MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE RATTLES AND THE FRONT PART MAKES A NOISE AS IF IT IS BREAKING APART. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THE BRAKE PEDAL LOCKS AND SPRINGS BACK. I TURN THE TRUCK OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THE ISSUE GOES AWAY. OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
SYMPTOM: NISSAN VEHICLE LOOSES BRAKING ABILITY WHEN THIS SYMPTOM HAPPENS. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD, BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND THERE IS GRINDING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END TOWARD THE WHEELS. VEHICLE BRAKING ABILITY IS REDUCED TO 10% OR LESS. TURNING IGNITION OFF/ON RESOLVES FOR SHORT TIME, BUT NOT A PERMANENT FIX. NISSAN HAS TSB NTB06-040 TO CLEAR THE CODE C1179 FROM BRAKE MODULE. I HAD PREFORMED AT MY COST AND ISSUE CAME BACK. CALLED NISSAN AND OPEND A FILE NUMBER 7181591, BUT THEY ARE BLAMING IT ON ME, NOT THE FLAW THAT IS HAPPENING TO 100'S OF OTHER ARMADAS INCLUDING ME. I AM REQUESTING SAFECAR.GOV TO PROBE NISSAN ABOUT THE BRAKE ISSUE THAT IS AFFECTING 2004 ARMADA, TITAN, AND INFINITY QX56 AND TO FIND OUT IF THEY ARE DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT.

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA SUV AND SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT I HAVE HAD 4 SEPARATE INSTANCES OF LITTLE OR NO BRAKES ISSUE. THE DASH "BRAKE" LIGHT COMES ON AND IF YOU APPLY THE BRAKES YOU HEAR AND FEEL THE ABS SYSTEM WORKING...GIVING YOU LITTLE OR NO BRAKES WHEN NEEDED. I HAVE RESEARCH THE ISSUE AND FOUND MANY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE NISSAN ARMADA'S. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT NO FIX IN PLACE YET...AND NO RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OR KILL OTHER WITH THERE 6000LB SUV THAT CAN'T STOP WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENS. I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A SERVICE CALL ON THIS ISSUE...THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS FINE 95% OF THE TIME...BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL POP UP AND YOU HAVE NO BRAKES! IF THE SUV IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED IT GOES AWAY AND DRIVES AND BRAKES NORMAL....TILL WHATEVER TRIGGERS THIS ISSUE SHOWS UP AGAIN AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. NISSAN NEEDS TO GET THIS FIXED AND HAVE A RECALL ASAP! I LOVE MY NISSAN BUT THIS SCARES ME! MY WIFE DRIVES THIS SUV MOST OF THE TIME WITH OUR 4 KIDS IN IT. SOME HAVE HAD A TBS DONE TO THE SUV BUT IT COMES BACK OVER TIME. HOW DO WE GO ABOUT GETTING THIS FIX? *TR
