TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND FAILED TO RESPOND AS THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT FAILURE WOULD RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,600.

DT: 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT FRONT BRAKE ROTORS PROBLEM. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES , AND THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM, AND THEY WERE ONLY FIXING THIS IN SHORT TERM. IN TWO OR THREE MONTHS THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. CONSUMER SPOKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND GOING DOWN HILLS, AND SOON AS TAKING FOOT OFF THE GAS AND GOING TO APPLY THE BRAKES FRONT WHEELS, STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL SHAKE VERY BADLY. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO STOP. *AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND REPLACED IT THREE TIMES. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS AT THIS TIME. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *NM

PURCHASED IN 11/2003, AND IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR CREAKING IN THE UNI-BODY, AND A HARMONIC HUM WHEN THE DEFROST WAS ON, ALONG WITH HAVING VISORS REPLACED. THEN WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD AFTER THAT THE TRUCK REACHED 3000 MILES AND WITH EVERY 3000 MILES THE BREAKS BEGIN TO PULSATE AND CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE MAKING DRIVING DIFFICULT. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE DEALERS FOR THIS THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AND THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED. ON THE NEXT VISIT, THE DEALERSHIP PUT ON A SO CALLED REPAIR KIT, WHICH WAS REPLACING THE ROTORS AND CHANGING THE PADS WITH AFTERMARKET PADS. AND THEN WHEN IT CAME TO THE THIRD TIME...I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD DO A QUICK FIX AND SUPPOSEDLY A REPLACEMENT KIT WAS IN THE WORKS. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE DOWN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, AND THE QUICK FIX I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT NISSAN SAID, NOT TO DO THE QUICK FIX, SINCE THE REPLACEMENT KIT IS AVAILABLE FOR ORDERING SOON. I HAD TO EXPLAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE PULSATING WAS SO BAD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER A VIVID DISCUSSION WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER THE VEHICLE WAS GIVEN THE QUICK FIX. WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT KIT. THE QUICK FIX WAS DONE IN MAY 2005. AND NO WORD HAS COME YET REGARDING THIS SO CALLED "REPLACEMENT KIT".

2004 NISSAN ARMADA SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN BRAKING ESPECIALLY AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 40MPH. HAS BEEN REPAIRED 4 TIMES SO FAR AND STILL HAPPENS. *TR

I AM WRITING AS A FOLLOW UP TO A NEWS ARTICLE OUT TODAY THAT TALKS ABOUT HOW CRACKS IN FORD EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE MAKING VEHICLE OWNERS/DRIVERS/PASSENGERS SICK THROUGH POISONING GASES ENTERING THE CABIN: HTTPS://WWW.BLOOMBERG.COM/GRAPHICS/2019-FORD-EXPLORER-OWNERS-SAY-SUVS-MAKING-THEM-SICK/ THIS IS NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE WITH THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. THERE ARE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN ARMADA/TITAN EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKING AND EMITTING TOXIC GASES, FROM 2004 ON UP. THESE VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH A 5.4L ENGINE, ARE HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKING AND EXHAUSTING GAS. THIS EXHAUST GAS CAN EASILY MAKE IT'S WAY INTO THE VEHICLE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, AND CAUSE SICKNESS, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, OR POSSIBLY EVEN DEATH FROM CO2 POISONING. THE PROBLEM SO BAD ON THESE VEHICLES, THAT AFTERMARKET COMPANIES HAVE FOR MANY YEARS NOW STARTED MAKING EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT HAVE REINFORCEMENTS WELDED ONTO THE AREAS OF THE STOCK MANIFOLD THAT REGULARLY INCUR THESE CRACKS. THE JOB IS EXTENSIVE, HOWEVER, AND MANY VEHICLE OWNERS CANNOT AFFORD THESE REPAIRS. MANY VEHICLE OWNERS LIKELY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS MAKING THEM SICK. HERE ARE SOME VIDEOS/FORUMS THAT EXPLAIN THE MUCH NEEDED RECALL: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=1V7F2SX6B64 HTTPS://WWW.TITANTALK.COM/FORUMS/TITAN-PROBLEMS-DEALER-SERVICE/130198-EXHAUST-MANIFOLD-RECALL.HTML HTTPS://WWW.CLUBARMADA.COM/FORUMS/8-ENGINE-DRIVETRAIN/22309-CRACKED-EXHAUST-MANIFOLD.HTML HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/TITAN/2004/EXHAUST_SYSTEM/EXHAUST_MANIFOLDS_CRACKED.SHTML HTTPS://WWW.JUSTANSWER.COM/NISSAN/5J40C-NISSAN-DATSUN-ARMADA-SE-2006-NISSAN-ARMADA-JUST.HTML HTTPS://WWW.CLUBTITAN.ORG/FORUMS/13-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/63695-EXHAUST-MANIFOLD-RECALL-3.HTML HTTPS://REPAIRPAL.COM/NISSAN/TITAN/RECALLS HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/NISSAN/TITAN/MANIFOLD-HEADER-MUFFLER-TAIL-PIPE-PROBLEMS.PHP
