STRUCTURE
I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND I HEARD A NOISE IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. I TURNED TO LOOK, BUT COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE NOISE AND SO I CONTINUED DRIVING. WITHIN MINUTES THE ENTIRE REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL BETWEEN THE TWO MIDDLE ROW SEATS AND WAS HANGING SUSPENDED BY THE WIRING. THERE HAD BEEN NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CONSOLE. I DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN USING THE MONITOR, NOR DO I HAVE BACK SEAT PASSENGERS VERY OFTEN. TOTALLY UNEXPECTED OCCURRENCE. IT SEEMS ALL OF THE MOUNTS, WHICH ARE PLASTIC, BROKE AND THE WHOLE THING CAME TUMBLING DOWN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEIR WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE, WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE IT WAS HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STOPPED. I TURN OFF THE VEH AND RESTART AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS HAVE HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEAR WITH THE VEHICLE. I BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW BRAKE PADS, I HAD NEW BRAKE PADS INSTALLED AND THE ISSUE JUST KEPT ON HAPPENING. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I FINALLY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND IM BEING TOLD THAT THE ISSUE IS WITHIN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEM WITH 2004 NISSAN ARMADA' FUEL GAUGE, SIMILAR TO A RECALL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEN NISSAN MOTOR USA. THEY SAID SINCE MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL AT THIS TIME I HAVE TO PAY $99 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, AND THEN SEND REPORT TO NISSAN MOTORS FOR CONSIDERATION. THEY ARE REFUSING TO ADD MY VIN FOR THIS RECALL, AND TO HAVE THE DEALER CHECK FREE OF CHARGE AND FIX IF ISSUE IS SAME AS THE RECALL. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AS I WAS ON MY WAY HOME DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY TRUCK CUT OFF, THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN OVER A YEAR, EACH TIME I NOTICED MY FUEL GAUGE WAS READING 1/4 OF A TANK, SO I CHECK FOR RECALLS ON THE 2005 NISSAN ARMADA AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM BUT WHEN I CALLED THE NISSAN CORP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT COULD BE, IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2005 ARMADA FOR THE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM AND MY VEHICLES FUEL SYSTEM IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHY ISN'T THE RECALL ON ALL NISSAN ARMADAS OF THE SAME YEAR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES ONLY BARELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE AFTER DEPRESSING TO PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. NOW SOME WARNING LIGHTS COME ON VDC, SLIP, BRAKE AND WON'T GO OFF. THE BRAKES DON'T SEEM TO BE WORKING PROPERLY AND THE PEDAL WHEN DEPRESSED SLOWLY GOES TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE NEW BRAKES, ROTORS, ETC (10,000 MILES AND THE BRAKE FLUID IS AT THE PROPER LEVEL. I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM FROM MANY MANY PEOPLE NO THE WEB. THIS IS NOT AM ISOLATED PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE HANDLED BY NISSAN AND PUT INTO A RECALL. PEOPLE ON THE WEB WERE REFERENCING A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
NISSAN ARMADA HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH IT'S FRONT BRAKES BEING UNDERSIZED IN THE EARLY MODELS OF SAID VEHICLES (MODEL YEARS 2004-2006). SEVERAL TIMES HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH BRAKES NOT RESPODING AND LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS IS CAUSED BY UNDERSIZED BREAKS. NOT HAVING PROPER SIZED BRAKES HAS LED TO ROTORS EASILY OVERHEATING AND GLAZING THE BRAKE PADS WHICH THEN LED TO HOT SPOTTED, WARPED, OR OTHERWISE RUINED FRONT ROTORS AND PADS. THE GREATEST UNSAFE SYMPTOM IS THAT ESPECIALLY IN THE WARMER MONTHS THE OVERHEATING OF THE ROTORS WOULD CAUSE THE ANTI-LOCK FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM SENSORS TO TRIGGER (FALSE POSITIVE) RANDOMLY AND YOU WOULD DANGEROUSLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLES ABILITY TO BRAKE (AND STEER) SAFELY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING BRAKE LIGHT, VDC OFF LIGHT, AND SLIP LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN BRAKES APPLIED, VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE HAPPENED AND BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SAFELY AND TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON. ONCE CAR WAS TURNED ON, LIGHTS REMAINED ON AND BRAKES FUNCTIONED NORMAL. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST AND NO OTHER CARS WERE CLOSE OR AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE RESULTED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED OUT, AND OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE BRAKES HAVE HAD NEAR TOTAL FAILURES. A GRINDING SOUND AND STUTTER OCCUR AND BRAKING POWER IS GREATLY REDUCED. THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY GOES AWAY AND HAS DISAPPEARED FOR DAYS OR MONTHS BEFORE RANDOMLY OCCURRING AGAIN. THE LOCAL DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM UNLESS IT WAS DRIVEN TO THEM WITH THE LIGHT ON, HOWEVER, IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE CONDITION. BOTH THE DEALER AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS CLAIM THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE ISSUE, OR HAVE OFFERED A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE LIGHT (NOT ABS) ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND AND ALMOST PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE TRUCK OFF, AND RESTARTED IT. THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED, BUT I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE. AFTER TURNING IT OFF AND LETTING IT SIT FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I TURNED IT ON AGAIN. THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON AND THE BRAKES ENGAGED. I TOOK IT TO A BRAKE SHOP ON 3/27/15 AND WAS TOLD THAT MY PADS ARE FINE. THEY ALSO CHECKED THE FLUID AND THE LEVEL WAS OK. I CONTACTED A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE AREN'T ANY RECALLS. THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY REPORTS FROM CONSUMERS ABOUT THIS TYPE OF ISSUE OCCURRING, BUT COULD NOT PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED AND COULD BE RESET BY TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS ALSO HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY, BUT I DON'T RECALL EXACTLY WHEN. *TR
