SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN MAY 2015, MY TRUSTED MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT SEPTEMBER 2015 AND REPORTED BACK IT WAS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO ISSUES. JULY 2016 EXPERIENCED BREAK FAILURE AT 15 MILES AN HOUR. AGAIN MY MECHANIC TROUBLESHOOTED THE ISSUES AND SAID THE POWER BREAK BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE THEN REFERRED ME TO NISSAN FOR POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH CORPORATE NISSAN WHO ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO PROVE THE ISSUE EXISTED, FOR ANY POTENTIAL COMPENSATION. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN THEY CONCLUDED REPROGRAMMING THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM; WHICH I HAD TO PAY $300 TO HAVE THIS DONE. ON OCTOBER 2016 INOPERABLE BREAK FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN AT 65 MILES AN HOUR WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, AS I WAS APPROACHING AN EXIT RAMP. THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED TWICE IN ONE DAY, JUST A WEEK LATER. ONCE AS I LEFT WORK GOING 40 MILES AN HOUR, MY DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH VDC AND SKID LIGHTS, IN ADDITION TO MY BREAK FAILURE LIGHT. THE SECOND TIME OCCURRED GOING DOWN A CITY STREET WHERE I HAD TO DO A ROLLING STOP THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, DODGING ONCOMING TRAFFIC, EVENTUALLY HITTING A CURB TO STOP. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE BACK TO NISSAN FOR THEM TO TEST DRIVE (RECREATE) THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE OFF THE LOT DUE TO SAFETY HAZARDS. I HAVE SPENT HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH CORPORATE TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE; BUT YET NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM, OR REFUND ME MY MONEY FOR THE FAILED REPROGRAMMING. THIS VEHICLE IS GEARED TOWARDS FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN; AND BOTH MY CHILDREN WERE PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE DURING ALL FAILURES. AFTER SEARCHING THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION WEBSITE, I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF DOCUMENTED CASES REVOLVING AROUND THE SAME SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN REFUSES TO RECALL THIS PART OR NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE EXISTING ISSUE.

BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, BRAKES PULSATE AND MAKE A GRINDING AND CLUNKING NOISE. THE BRAKES GRAB CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO APPLY TO MUCH BRAKE PRESSURE AT TIMES. OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T APPLY ENOUGH PRESSURE. THIS OCCURS AS THE VEHICLE IS COMING TO A STOP.

OWN A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA LE. STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE BRAKE, VDC, SLIP, AND 4WD LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THOUGHT IT APPEARED BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING COLD. DROVE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS DOWN A CITY A STREET AND HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED AND THE TRUCK JOLTED A LITTLE BIT. AFTER ANOTHER BLOCK, LIGHTS WENT AWAY AND DIDN'T HAVE MORE ANY ISSUES ON THE WAY HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME, TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK, NO LIGHTS. DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND READ MANY ISSUES RELATING TO THIS. A COUPLE A DAYS LATER CHECKED THE TRUCK, ON START-UP...NO LIGHTS, THEN WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE SAME LIGHTS LIT UP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, LIGHTS WERE LIT, BRAKES ENGAGED, AND SPEEDOMETER WAS FLUCTUATING AND THEN DIDN'T MOVE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, SPEEDOMETER ACTIVATED AGAIN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PUT IN PARK. NISSAN DEALERSHIP DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THE ADVISOR INDICATED BOTH THE ECM AND ABS ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY WERE FRIED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, $3,100 TO START OUT WITH. TRUCK IS STILL AT THE SHOP, NO WORK HAS STARTED. NOTIFIED NISSAN CUSTOMER RELATIONS SINCE THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WAITING TO HEAR BACK. ALSO CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD TELL ME AND IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE. CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. BACK THE NEXT DAY AND TALKED TO ANOTHER ADVISOR, THE ADVISOR INDICATED SINCE THERE ARE SOME ARE HARD CODES (U1000, U1001) DISPLAYED WITH THE ECM AND ABS ASSEMBLY, THE SYSTEMS POTENTIALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP, WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BASICALLY GOES TO THE FLOOR AND BARELY WORKS TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE BRAKES GRIND AS IT IS PUSHED. IF YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IT SEEMS TO RESET ITSELF. WE ALMOST HIT SOMEONE TODAY TRYING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT ROUGHLY 15-20 MPH WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED (TODAY). WE WERE ON A CITY STREET, BRAKING TO STOP. IT SEEMS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND I AM BOGGLED AT THE FACT THAT NO ONE IS REQUIRING NISSAN TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. EVENTUALLY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET VERY HURT. HAVING LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER YOUR BRAKING IS VERY SCARY, ESPECIALLY WITH MY LITTLE ONE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME . THIS IS A LARGE VEHICLE AND WOULD DO A LOT OF DAMAGE IF IT WERE TO HIT SOMEONE THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONCE EVERY 2-4 WEEKS OR SO. IT APPEARS TO BE RANDOM.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPLAINING HERE. I'LL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND OUT OF NO WHERE THE DASH BRAKE LIGHT WILL TURN ON. WHEN I TRY TO BREAK, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL PUSH DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND IT WILL SOUND LIKE IS GRINDING AND ALMOST SOUND LIKE A SPRING IS LOOSE INTHERE. BUT WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT ON, IT GOES AWAY. I HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW AND THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN, I JUST HOPE IT DOESN'T DO IT ON THE FREEWAY..
