NISSAN ARMADA 2008: WENT OUT TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF MY TRUCK, FOUND THE WHOLE CENTER ROOF PANEL DOWN HANGING ON BY WIRING. SINCE IT WAS THE HOLIDAY I CALLED NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY FOR REPLACEMENT PART. I WAS GIVEN COST $2600.00. I TRIED JUST GETTING PLASTIC SHELL, BUT TOLD PLASTIC SHELL ISN'T SOLD SEPARATE. THIS PART WAS MADE WITH A CHEAP PLASTIC CLAMPS THAT BROKE WITH SCREWS STILL IN PLACE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING MY NISSAN ARMADA IT GOES THRU A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR COMES ON. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN CYCLES LIKE EVERY MONTH OR SO BUT WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS, UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. THIS IS A DEFINITE MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE BLOGGED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. MANY HAVE CLAIMED IT'S AN ABS OR BOOSTER BRAKE ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL. A RECALL IS NECESSARY BEFORE A MAJOR TRAGEDY OCCURS.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROADWAY WHEN THE BRAKE, VDC, ABS AND 4X4 LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. THE CAR ALSO STARTED MAKING A BONGING GRINDING AND VIBRATING WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I CHECKED TO SEE IF I COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING SO I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON BUT THE NOISE AND VIBRATING HAD STOPPED. I MADE IT HOME WITHOUT IT MAKING THE NOISE AGAIN. THE NEXT WEEKS WENT BY AND ALL THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON AND IT MAKES THE NOISE AND VIBRATION EACH TIME I TURN THE CAR ON BUT AND I PRESSED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES IT GOES AWAY EXPECT THE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON NOW.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I EXITED THE HIGHWAY I TRIED TO APPLY MY BRAKES I HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKES. THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE. I FINALLY GOT THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN A SAFE LOCATION, TURNED THE CAR OFF,RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAKE. THIS RECENTLY HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE CITY STREET. I PULLED OFF OF THE STREET, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I REALLY FEAR FOR MY LIFE BECAUSE I BARELY HAVE ANY BRAKES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE BRAKE PETAL IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAN STOP. THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY.

POWER TRAIN
SOMETIMES WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE WILL ACT LIKE IT IS TRYING TO CHOKE OUT AND WILL SHUDDER AND/OR HESITATE. THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN TRYING TO CLIMB AN INCLINE OR WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A SLOWED DOWN OR STOPPED STANDING. THIS CAN BE SEEN IN A SHUDDER IN THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE AND FEELS TERRIBLE. THERE IS GREAT CONCERN ON MY PART THAT IT WILL HAPPEN TO DO THIS AT A MOMENT THAT MY CHILDREN ARE WITH ME AND WILL CAUSE ME TO BE HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE OCCURRENCE IS UNPREDICTABLE BUT IS INCREDIBLY NOTICEABLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS REPORTED A PROBLEM. I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT ANYONE WOULD BUY THIS VEHICLE GIVEN HOW EASILY THE PROBLEM IS NOTICED. IT IS UNNERVING.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING SPEED LIMIT AT 60MPH. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES WITHIN THE VICINITY OF MY NISSAN ARMADA. SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD POP-SHATTER SOUND. ALMOST LIKE A GUN SHOT OR A VERY LOUD AND CLOSE THUNDER SOUND. I STARTED TO HEAR RATTLING AND I SLIGHTLY OPENED MY SUNROOF SHADE TO SEE SHATTERED GLASS. I CLOSED IT AND WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP.

ENGINE
THE OIL FILL SPOUT CAME OFF THE VALVE HEAD COVER RESULTING IN MASSIVE OIL SPILL. I WAS LUCKY I DISCOVERED IT AFTER A SHORT TRIP TO THE STORE. BOTH PIECES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC AND POORLY GLUED TOGETHER WITH SOMETHING THAT RESEMBLES SILICONE. IT HAD COMPLETELY DETERIORATED (THE CAR HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT) . VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT NISSAN WOULDN'T SPEND ANOTHER 15 CENTS AND HOLD THESE PIECES TOGETHER WITH A CLAMP OF SOME SORT. I HAD JUST COME BACK FROM A 650 MILE TRIP, IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE CEASED UP OR THE CAR MIGHT HAVE GONE UP IN FLAMES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY ARMADA RAN OUT OF GAS AFTER HAVING PICKED UP MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL ON A CITY STREET. I BARELY MADE IT ACROSS THE INTERSECTION AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFENING UP. I'VE RAN OUT OF GAS THREE TIMES SINCE THEN AND EACH TIME THE GAS TANK SHOWS THERE IS AT LEAST A QUARTER TANK LEFT. THE DEALER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS AN ISSUE SINCE MY VIN IS NOT ONE OF "THOSE" AFFECTED. WHAT CAN I DO? THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED IN FEBRUARY WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 96000 MILES ON IT.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, SEAT BELTS
BREAK SYSTEM FAILURE HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAN ONCE. FOR SOME REASON IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE ARE ROCKS IN BETWEEN MY BRAKES AND THE ROTORS. I HAVE TO RESET THE SYSTEM BY SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE OF IT AND NO INDICATION OTHER THAN THE NOISE THAT IT WAS HAPPENING. ALSO, WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT TURN OFF. I AND HASN'T FOR OVER 5 YEARS. THE DRIVER SIDE AND/OR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELTS ALSO DO NOT GET RECOGNIZED AS BEING USED SINCE THE FLASH INDICATOR ON THE DASH KEEPS FLASHING. WHEN I TOOK T IN TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS BUT IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 110000 MILES ON IT AND HAD LESS THAN 80000 WHEN THESE ISSUES STARTED. I JUST WANT MY VEHICLE TO BE SAFE AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS THE SAME ONE. BRAKE SYSTEM, DEALER CAN'T DIAGNOSE UNLESS I DRIVE IN THERE WITH THE PROBLEM WHICH ISN'T SAFE AND HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY. I MAY HAVE VIDEO OF THE NOISE FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHICH I WILL LOOK FOR.
