TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF THIRD GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. THE DEALER NOTICED RADIATOR FLUID MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,500.

PROBLEM WITH CAR ACCELERATING SPONTANEOUSLY WHEN BRAKE BOOSTER SENSOR FAILS AT RANDOM TIMES. INITIAL PROBLEM WITH BRAKE PEDDLE GOING SOFT AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM GETS ACTIVATED WHEN BRAKING TRYING TO DO STANDARD BRAKING. THE BRAKE LIGHT TURNS ON, THE PEDDLE GOES TO THE FLOOR, BRAKES ARE NOT NORMAL AND VERY TOUCHY AND THE CAR SHUDDERS VICIOUSLY TO A STOP WHILE. LOUD NOISE IS SCARY WHILE BRAKES NOT FIRING IN THE USUAL PEDDLE POSITION AND FEEL LIKE MUSH. NOW IN JANUARY A NEW SITUATION STARTED OCCURRING WHEN THE BRAKE BOOSTER WOULD FAIL IS THAT THE ARMADA WOULD ALSO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE ON PRESSING THE BRAKE. I WENT TO STOP MY ARMADA'S AND THE ENGINE SURGED ITS RPMS WHILE THE ANTI-LOCK RELAYS WERE FIRING. I STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE WITH MY EVERY MUSCLE IN MY BODY TO TRY TO GET THE NISSAN ARMADA TO STOP. I COULD NOT SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL BECAUSE THE SHIFTING LOCK SEEMED TO ENGAGED. I ENDED UP TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND WAS ABLE TO STOP. I CALLED NISSAN AMERICA TO REPORT THIS ISSUE. ALSO STOPPED BY THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE MANAGE INFORMED ME THAT THE BRAKING ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE DELTA SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND WAS A KNOW ISSUE BUT THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HEARD ABOUT THE SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEED AND THAT HE ONLY HAD HEARD ABOUT THE SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT HIGHER SPEEDS. HE SAID THIS WAS CAUSED ALSO BY THE DELTA SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I THINK I UNDERSTOOD HIM IN SAYING THAT WHEN THIS SENSOR FAILS IT ALLOWS THE BOOSTER TO INJECT AIR INTO THE INTAKE THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. I REPLACED MY BRAKE BOOSTER YESTERDAY TO FIND TODAY THAT MY ARMADA HAS THE SAME DEADLY ISSUE! PLEASE HAVE NISSAN FIX THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, HE HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BECAME UNSTABLE.

THE REAR HATCH WILL NOT RELEASE & CONTINUES TO BE TEMPERAMENTAL. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF EVER NEEDING TO RELEASE THE REAR HATCH IN AN EMERGENCY, SUCH AS IN A LIFE SAFETY INCIDENT DURING A FIRE OR ACCIDENT, THE REAR HAD CONTINUALLY FAILS ALONG WITH THE GLASS RELEASE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT READ ACCURATELY. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 45 MPH DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE READING THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE DEALER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE RECALL CAMPAIGN WAS CLOSED DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,160. ...UPDATED 12/03/12*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUAGE BROKE ONCE IN 2007. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

WARNING LIGHT FOR AIRBAGS STARTED BLINKING. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN COLLEGE STATION TX. THE DEALER RAN A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC. WAS TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WOULD NOT ACTIVATE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, THE "HARNESS" FROM THE AIRBAG TO THE COMPUTER CONTROLLER HAD TO BE REPLACE FOR $500+. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED A "NUMBER" OF THESE AIRBAG HARNESSES. I HAVE NOT YET REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. THE WARNING LIGHT CONTINUES TO BLINK; AND MY PASSENGERS ARE AT SEVERE SAFETY RISK IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE RESULTING FROM A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

AIR BAG DEFAULT WARNING ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. DEALER SAYS AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK UNLESS AN INTERIOR HARNESS FROM AIRBAG/SEAT WEIGHT CUSHION/COMPUTER IS REPLACED. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE REPLACED "A BUNCH" OF THEM ON NISSAN ARMADAS. COST IS $459 AND AIR BAGS WON'T WORK UNTIL IT IS REPLACED. DEALER SAYS NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A SAFETY/WARRANTY CAMPAIGN ON THIS FAULTY ITEM. DEALER IS "DOUGLAS NISSAN" IN COLLEGE STATION TX. *TR

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IN INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON. I TOOK THE ARMADA TO DOUGLASS NISSAN IN COLLEGE STATION, TX. A "COMPUTER" CHECK WAS RUN, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT ACTIVATE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WITH THE ARMADA, AND TO CORRECT THIS, A "HARNESS" THAT GOES FROM THE PASSENGER SEATBELTS/SEAT WEIGHT BAG TO THE AIRBAGS SERVING THIS AREA HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $459. THE SERVICE REP ADVISED ME THAT "A NUMBER" OF NISSAN'S VEHICLES HAVE HAD TO BE "REPAIRED" TO FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A SAFETY CAMPAIGN OF ANY KIND FOR THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD NO. I AM 71 YEARS OLD, HAVE OWNED A NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILES, AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT HAD THE REPAIR MADE, BECAUSE OF THE COST ($459 + THE $50 I HAVE ALREADY PAID TO RUN THE COMPUTER CHECK). SURELY THERE IS A SAFETY CAMPAIGN ON NISSAN'S FAULTY AIRBAGS???? *TR

I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP LIGHT, GOING ROUGHLY 40 MPH, AND STARTED APPLYING THE BRAKES, AS THE LIGHTS WERE CHANGING, AND I FELT THE BRAKE PEDAL GO "SOFT" AND DROP NEARLY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD THE BRAKE, ABS, AND SLIP LIGHTS LIGHT UP ON MY DASH. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE ARMADA TO A CONTROLLED STOP BEFORE GOING INTO THE INTERSECTION, BUT TO DO SO I HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT WAS AS IF THERE WAS A MINISCULE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE BEING APPLIED TO THE BRAKES. ONCE STOPPED I SHIFTED INTO PARK, TURNED OFF THE TRUCK, WAITED A FEW MOMENTS, AND TURNED THE TRUCK ON AGAIN. THE BRAKE, ABS, AND SLIP LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUED TO FEEL EXTREMELY SOFT. I HAD TO KEEP IT FULL DEPRESSED AGAINST THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STAY STOPPED. WHEN THE STOP LIGHTS TURNED GREEN, I PULLED OFF THE ROAD- OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC- AND REPEATED THE PROCEDURE ABOVE THAT I PERFORMED AT THE STOP LIGHT. THE BRAKE, ABS AND SLIP LIGHTS CONTINUED TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES MADE A GRINDING SOUND WHENEVER THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE GRINDING NOISE WOULD CEISED AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSE THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS FAILING AND THE DELTA BOOSTER SENSOR INSIDE THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NEW BRAKES PADS AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

ON THE LISTED DATE ABOVE OUR FAMILY WAS ON EN ROUTE TO OUR VACATION DESTINATION, TRAVELING IN OUR ARMADA WITH CAMPER IN TOW. WHILE GOING THRU THE MOUNTAINS IN VIRGINIA WE HAD LOST ALL POWER TO OUR TRANSMISSION CAUSING US TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE EXPRESSWAY. AFTER SOME TIME WE WHERE FINALLY ABLE TO GET TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP IN COVINGTON. AS SOON AS THE SERVICE MANAGER LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE HE NEW EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE TAIL PIPE HAD DISCONNECTED FROM THE MUFFLER AND THAT THE HOT EXHAUST BURNED UP THE WIRE HARNESS THAT CONTROLLED ALL THE POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS THEY HAD SEEN AND FIXED 4 TO 5 TIMES AT THIS DEALERSHIP. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE PIPING FROM THE MUFFLER SOME HOW ERODED AWAY AND DISCONNECTED ALLOWING THE EXHAUST TO BURN UP THE WIRE HARNESS, AS WELL AS THE HOSE THAT SUPPLIES THE COMPRESSED AIR TO THE AIR SHOCKS. THIS TO ME IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. FORTUNATELY WE WERE IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE NEAR TO CAUSE A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. WE WERE ABLE TO GET OVER SAFELY ALTHOUGH WE HAD LOST ALL TRANSMISSION POWER GOING UP THIS MOUNTAIN. NOT SURE IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS REPORTED THIS SAFETY ISSUE. BUT NISSAN MUST KNOW ABOUT IT BASED ON THE SERVICE MANAGER SEEING THIS THAT MANY TIMES. WHY WOULD ONE HAVE YOUR ELECTRIC WIRING RUNNING SO CLOSE TO A POTENTIAL HOT SOURCE THAT COULD DISABLE YOUR VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING? I RECENTLY WAS TALKING TO A COWORKER WHO HAS A 2004 ARMADA AND TOLD HIM ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO US. HE HAD SAID THAT HE JUST HAD HIS TAIL PIPE WELDED BACK ON BUT HAD IT DONE AT A MUFFLER SHOP SO THIS WAS NOT DOCUMENTED AT A DEALERSHIP. HE HAD SAID THAT HE COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING BUT HE HAD NO OTHER ISSUES. HE WAS LUCKY AND HE MAY WANT TO CHECK IT OUT BECAUSE OF THE EXPERIENCE THAT I HAD. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD, THE BRAKELIGHT COMES ON. WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THERE IS NOT THE SAME AMOUNT OF BRAKING PRESSURE AND THE ABS STARTS SOUNDING OFF, CREATING A LOT OF NOISE. THE BRAKE FEEL BECOMES OVERLY GRABBY AND INCONSISTENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES TO ME PERSONALLY AS WELL AS MY WIFE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND THEN TURNED BACK ON IT SEEMS TO RESET AND WORK AS NORMAL, UNTIL IT DOES IT AGAIN. PLEASE HELP! THIS HAD RECENTLY HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 1 WEEK. THIS HAS OCCURRED 2 YEARS AGO. I WENT TO THE DEALER. THEY REPROGRAMMED SOMETHING AND HAS BEEN GOOD FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW IT IS BACK. I TOOK VEHICLE IN TO SERVICE ON JULY 9TH 2012 IS PART OF A TSB TO HAVE THE COMPUTER FLASHED OR UPDATED. DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM, IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATENING ISSUE WITH BRAKE FAILURE ON THIS NISSAN ARMADA. *TR

MY BRAKES FAILED TWICE IN MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA W/55K MILES. THE FIRST TIME, MY BRAKES FAILED TO STOP ME AT AN INTERSECTION, WITH A NEAR MISS COLLISION. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON & THERE WAS A HORRIBLE GRINDING SOUND, THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED & I HAD TO TAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO ATTEMPT TO STOP MY VEHICLE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES? THE LIGHT NO LONGER CAME ON AND THE SOUND WAS GONE. APPROX 3 MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. DRIVING 35 MPH I STARTED TO BRAKE AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I DROVE HOME AND PARKED IT, GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE TO CHECK IT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF & THE SOUND WAS GONE, BRAKES STILL FELT DIFFERENT HOWEVER. THE NEXT MORNING, I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, SAW A BUNCH OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. I CALLED NISSAN DIRECTLY & OPENED A CASE. MADE AN APPT AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. AFTER INSPECTION THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY BRAKE BOOSTER & IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED & IT COST $975. I CALLED NISSAN TO LET THEM KNOW THE COST & ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE SINCE IT WAS A DEFECTIVE PART. I WAS INFORMED TO NOT PICK UP MY VEHICLE UNTIL I HEARD FROM THEM. I HAD RENTED A CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP. NISSAN TOOK 5 DAYS TO RESPOND & CALLED AT 5:30PM TO SAY SORRY WE DECIDED NOT TO HELP. SO NOT ONLY DID I PAY FOR THE PART, REPROGRAMMING & SERVICE, I ALSO HAD TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL AS WELL! THEY DENIED ME FOR TWO REASONS, MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY & I DID NOT HAVE IT SERVICED AT A DEALERSHIP. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! BECAUSE OF THAT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN EVER AGAIN! AND I LOVE MY CAR... THEY NEED TO OWN THE PROBLEM! PEOPLE ARE AT RISK BECAUSE OF FAULTY PROGRAMMING AND PARTS. THEY WILL PROBABLY WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY TAKE ANY ACTION! *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STABILITY CONTROL AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING TODAY, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. IT'S SCARY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T STOP LIKE NORMAL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I PULL OVER, TURN MY CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AND IT CLEARS IT. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM FROM ONLINE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THIS SHOULD BE WITHOUT A QUESTION, RECALLED. THANK YOU ! *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SHOULDER AND POWERED OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE POWER BOOSTER SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE BRAKE SYSTEM RETURNED TO NORMAL FUNCTION AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCED A FAILURE WITH LOST OF ACCELERATION, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND THE REAR HATCH DOOR FAILED TO LOCK ELECTRONICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

I NEEDED TO STOP AND MY BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK COMPLETELY. THEY SLOWED ME DOWN A LITTLE BUT DID NOT FUNCTION COMPLETELY. THE PEDAL PUMPED UP AND DOWN MADE A WEIRD NOISE AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT A FASTER SPEED AND BEEN FOLLOWING CLOSER, I WOULD HAVE WRECKED. *TT

SIMILAR TO OTHER OWNER COMPLAINTS, I WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 NISSAN ARMADA AND ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH THIS FOR A YEAR NOW TRYING TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THIS. MY BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, ETC. ARE ALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I RECENTLY HAD THE VDC CONTROL UNIT REPROGRAMMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH NTB06-040 TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AT THE SUGGESTION OF MY MECHANIC. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE CONDITION, AND THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRYING TO PRESS BRAKE, FELT NO RESPONSE FROM BRAKE OR VERY HARD TO PRESS BRAKE, SO I PULLED ASIDE THE CAR. *TR

DRIVING HOME ABOUT 45 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I SLOWED DOWN FOR THE UPCOMING RED LIGHT BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK, THEY WENT INTO ABS MODE SO I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE PEDAL, RE-APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKES STARTED PULSING AND GRINDING VIOLENTLY. I COULD NOT STOP FOR THE RED LIGHT SO I DROPPED IT DOWN INTO 4TH GEAR AND MADE A HARD RIGHT TURN ABOUT 25 MPH. THANKFULLY THERE WAS LITTLE TRAFFIC SO NO ACCIDENT AND NO ONE WAS HURT. I DROVE THE REMAINING TWO MILES HOMES AT 25 MPH AND WITHOUT USING THE BRAKES UNTIL I GOT TO MY DRIVEWAY. I APPLIED VERY LIGHT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND LITTLE NOISE BUT NOT MUCH STOPPING POWER, THANKFULLY MY DRIVEWAY IS UPHILL. WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED UP ARMADA BRAKE FAILURE AND REALIZED THAT THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF POSTS DATING BACK TO 2004, SO THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND COMPUTER. *JS

MY 05 ARMADA HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SENOR LIGHT COMING ON AND THE ABS SYSTEM START ACTING ERRATIC, VIBRATION UNDER DASH AND PEDAL MOVING BACK AND FORTH THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND START MAKING GRINDING SOUND AND IS HARD TO CONTROL. WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND RESTARTED ALL PROBLEMS VANISH. SOMETIMES IT DOES IT WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED LIKE WHEN I WENT TO THE STORE CAME OUT AND TRY TO DRIVE IT BUT IT WAS LOCKED. WHEN IM DRIVING THE CAR AND IT WITH JUST A TOUCH TO THE PEDAL THE BRAKES WOULD JUST LOCK UP. ITS UNSAFE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENS. I CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD THE PERSON IN CHARGE WHAT WAS HAPPENING SHE SAID IT MIGHT BE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I THINK ITS A COMPUTER HARD WARE OR SOFTWARE ISSUE BECAUSE ONCE ITS RE-STARTED IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. SINCE MY INSURANCE HAS ALREADY EXPIRED AND THE LADY SAID IT WILL COST ME ABOUT 1,000 DLLS WHICH I DON'T HAVE RIGHT KNOW IT WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR ME TO FIX IT RIGHT AWAY. IF IT IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER.I HOPE IN THE MEANTIME IM LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT BE IN A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM THANK YOU. HELP. *TR

FRONT END SPRINGS OR SUSPENSION IS MALFUNCTIONING

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY (50MPH) RED BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON DASH AND WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, GRINDING NOISE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN AND PEDAL PRESSURE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. ALMOST FULL PEDAL TRAVEL TO THE FLOOR BOARD. AT THE TIME, ABS WAS KICKING IN AND BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS CARS THAT WERE STOPPED OFF OF THE EXIT RAMP AT A RED LIGHT, PULLING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE RAMP. HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR IN ORDER FOR THE BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY AGAIN. AFTER RESEARCH, THIS IS A CONFIRMED AND KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN OF AMERICA WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER/DELTA SENSOR IN ARMADA AND TITAN TRUCKS MANUFACTURED BY NISSAN. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA HAS THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN NHTSA #10V-074. NISSAN CLAIMS MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGHT THE RECALL IS FOR 2005 - 2009 NISSAN ARMADAS. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE A SAFETY PROBLEM, LEARN THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF IT AND HAS A RECALL, BUT TO BE TOLD THAT IT DOESN'T APPLY TO YOUR VEHICLE. CLEARLY IT DOES, BECAUSE I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM DESCRIBED, "ISSUE CAN CAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN FUEL TANK IS EMPTY." *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE WITH MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN AT 75 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STALLED AND DIED. POWER STEERING WAS LOST AND THE VEHICLE QUICKLY DECELERATED. I WAS ABLE TO FLASH THE CAR BEHIND ME SO WE WERE NOT REAR-ENDED AND THEN WE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHO TOLD US ABOUT THE CURRENT NHTSA CAMPAIGN #10V517000. IN THE MEANTIME MY WIFE LOOKED ON SOME MESSAGE BOARDS AND PEOPLE REPORTED A FUEL TANK PROBLEM ON THE ARMADAS, WHERE THE FUEL GUAGE SHOWS THERE IS 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS WHEN IN REALITY IT IS EMPTY. WE PUT SOME GAS IN THE TANK AND IT STARTED UP. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE ECM RELAY RECALL, BUT SAID THE FUEL SWITCH (NHTSA # 10V07400) WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I BELIEVE OUR VEHICLE SHOULD BE A PART OF THIS RECALL AND NISSAN SHOULD REIMBURSE US FOR THESE REPAIR COSTS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE PARKED THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE BUT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THERE WERE PIECES OF METAL IN THE TRANSMISSION LINE. THE TECHNICIAN ATTEMPTED TO UN-CLOG THE TRANSMISSION LINE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. ....UPDATED 12/03/12 *BF THE CONSUME STATED WHEN SHE MADE A TURN, THE VEHICLE FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS GOING TO STOP. WHEN SHE STOPPED AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE, SHE SAW A REDDISH COLOR FLUID LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE, THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THREE WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE RADIATOR LINE WHICH WAS LEAKING. WHEN THEY ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, THEY NOTICED SEVERAL HOLES BETWEEN THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WERE CLOGGED. UPDATED 01/10/12

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WITH A DELAYED RESPONSE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE ABS WOULD REQUIRE REPROGRAMMING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE ABS CONTROL WAS REPROGRAMMED. ALSO, THE SEAT BELT LIGHT FLASHED. THE TECHNICIAN FOUND AN OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE REAR DOOR HARNESS. UPDATED 12/23/13

SAME ISSUE EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING SPONGY BRAKES WHEN PRESSED NOT STOPPING, LOUD GRINDING NOISE, MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. CAN NHTSA HELP OUT THE LITTLE GUY FOR A CHANGE AND ORDER A RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE AT HAND WITH ALL NISSAN ARMADAS BREAKING SYSTEMS. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUES BUT DOES NOT WANT TO FIX ITS PROBLEM. I GUESS IT TAKES A DEATH TO HAVE THEM LISTEN. IN ALL REALITY ITS NOT THE DEATH THAT WILL CAUSE THEM TO LISTEN OR FIX THE ISSUE AT HAND IT WILL BE THE LAW SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THEIR UNSAFE PRACTICES. *KB

WHEN CRUISING AT LOW SPEED WHEN I RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL TO LET THE TRUCK COAST, IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES GET APPLIED SLIGHTLY AND THE TRUCK STARTS TO LOOSE SPEED. IN MY EXPERIENCE WITH ALL MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CARS IS THAT WHEN YOU RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD COAST AND LOOSE SPEED GRADUALLY. BUT IN MY ARMADA IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED VERY SLIGHTLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL WOULD SPILL OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK AND THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY READINGS OF BEING HALF FULL. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 156,000.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND 20 MPH, I NEEDED TO BRAKE AND NOTICE AN UNUSUAL NOISE. THIS NOISE SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE BRAKE BOOSTER. IN ADDITION, IT SOUNDED LIKE THE BRAKES WERE GRINDING. I NOTICE THAT THE BRAKE LAMP FROM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS ON. DRIVING SLOWLY, I REPEATED THE BRAKING AND IT WOULD DO THE SAME. SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE TRUCK. I TURNED THE TRUCK BACK ON AND THE BRAKE LAMP IS NOW GONE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. THIS HAS OCCURRED TO ME AT LEAST 5 TIMES. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID NOT SEE ANY FAULT CODE. DID A SEARCH ON THE WEB AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL SINCE IT PERTAINS TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

DRIVING FINE THEN AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, LIKE IT IS IN A HIGHER GEAR. AFTER REACHING 10MPH IT DRIVES PERFECTLY FINE. IF AFTER STOPPING YOU CUT THE ENGINE AND RESTART, IT IS FINE. REVERSE WORKS FINE. CODE P1757 COMES UP ON TEST. A BAD VALVE BODY. I'VE SEEN THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET MOSTLY ON NISSAN '05 MODELS, MAYBE SOME '06. VERY FRUSTRATING, NISSAN SAYS I NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. I'M THINKING A RECALL SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN ON OTHER YEAR MODELS AS MUCH. *TT

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

AT SLOW SPEED, BRAKES APPEAR TO FAIL. GRINDING NOISE WITH VERY MINIMAL BRAKING AS A RESULT. TURNING OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO CLEAR THE "TROUBLE". WOULD BE DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC SITUATION. RECURRING YET VERY OCCASIONAL PROBLEM. *TR

2005 NISSAN ARMADA ABS ISSUES. VEHICLE BRAKES JUST START GRINDIING AND GRINDING WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED AND BRAKING POWER IS AT A MINIMUM. IF YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IS SEEMS TO WORK FOR A WHILE. THIS IS A VERY INTERMITTANT PROBLEM BUT VERY VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS APPLYING BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND TURN INTO A GROCERY STORE DRIVE AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, THEY STARTED MAKING A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE LIKE THE BRAKES WERE FALLING APART....STOPPING POWER GREATLY DIMISHED BUT LUXKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SHOULDER AND LIMP INTO LOT. ONCE I TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON IT HAS WORKED FINE FOR SEVERAL DAYS...BUT VERY SCARED. *TT

DRIVING ALONG AND VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND SHUTS DOWN, COASTING TO A STOP. UNABLE TO RESTART. GAS GAUGE SHOWS APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TANK OF GAS REMAINING YET IT WILL NOT START. UPON GETTING SOME GAS AND PUTTING IT IN TANK, VEHICLE STARTS AGAIN AND CONTINUES TO RUN AND IS DRIVEN TO GAS STATION FOR ADDITIONAL GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON APPROXIMATELY 10 OCCASIONS. CALLED THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIR RECALL ON FUEL SENDING UNITS FOR NISSAN ARMADAS DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. WAS INSTRUCTED TO SEEK FURTHER ASSISTANCE AND DIAGNOSIS FROM DEALER OR REPAIR SHOP OF MY CHOICE. DECLINED TO REPAIR & SERVICE MY VEHICLE REGARDING MY COMPLAINT. FURTHER RESEARCH ON MY PART HAS FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY NISSAN ARMADA VEHICLES THAT DO NOT FALL UNDER THE NISSAN RECALL UMBRELLA, WITH NISSAN DECLINING TO ADDRESS OR REPAIR THOSE VEHICLES AS WELL. NISSAN REFUSES TO RESEARCH INTO THESE COMPLAINTS WITH A BLANKET DENIAL THAT THESE VEHICLES DO NOT FALL INTO THEIR 'DETERMINED' LIST OF VEHICLE AFFECTED WITH THIS ISSUE. I WOULD MERELY LIKE MY COMPLAINT TO BE ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED ACCORDINGLY. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN JULY 2005. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE 2005 NISSAN ARMADA, EXPERIENCED AN ENGAGE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM, CLANGING NOISE, LOSS OF BRAKING AT THE PEDAL, PARK LIGHT COMES ON. APPEARS AS THOUGH THE ABS SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED. ARMADA REMAINS LOCKED IN THIS POSITION EVEN AFTER STOPPING. THIS CONDITION IS RECOVERABLE BY TURN OFF THE POWER/KEY AND RESTARTING. SEEMS LIKE A COMPUTER JUST ENGAGED THE ABS BY MISTAKE. DANGEROUS! *KB

2005 NISSAN ARMADA 4/22/09 AIRBAG LIGHT ON, AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER REPLACED FRONT SEAT HARNESS LEFT HAND SIDE UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO RECALL. 12/10/10 AIRBAG LIGHT ON AGAIN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER REPLACED FRONT HARNESS RIGHT SIDE AND AIRBAG HARNESS. 7/15/201 AIRBAG LIGHT ON AGAIN AUTHORIZED DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE US $1200 TO REPLACE ENTIRE HARNESS SYSTEM NOT RELATED TO THE OTHER 2 RECALLS THEY CANNOT PASS US FOR THE STATE INSPECTION OR GUARANTEE THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT OR THAT THE SEAT BELTS WILL WORK PROPERLY. SERVICE MANAGER TRIES TO GET MY SUPPLEMENTAL WARRANTY TO COVER THE REPAIRS AND THAT IS DENIED. WHY DOES THIS PROBLEM OCCUR SO OFTEN IN SO MANY INSTANCES WITH REPAIR AFTER REPAIR AND NOTHING EVER CORRECTS THE PROBLEM . IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF NISSAN TO GUARANTEE OUR SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DRIVE AS IS WE CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR AND BASED ON EVERYONE ELSES EXPERIENCE IT WILL NOT BE COMPLETELY FIXED ANYHOW. *TT

ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS STARTING JULY 2011 AND ENDING MARCH 2015, THE BRAKES FAILED AFTER VDC/ABS/SLIP WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. ON ONE OF THE OCCASIONS, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP CAUSING IT TO GO THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION AND JUST MISSED BEING STRUCK BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. SPENT OVER $2000.00 IN REPAIRS AND THE PROBLEMS PERSIST. I NO LONGER FEEL SAVE IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND FINALLY SOLD IT AT A LOST. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, HE HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

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

BRAKES ON 2005 ARMADA WENT OUT AND STARTED TO GRIND AND STICK, COULD NOT DUPLICATE AFTER RE STARTING VEHICLE AND MECHANIC CANNOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE AS WELL COSTING ME MONEY TO HAVE CHECKED OUT EACH TIME IT HAPPENS NOT THE FIRST TIME REPLACED PADS THE FIRST TIME AND RE-OCCURS MORE OFTEN NOW VERY UNSAFE NEVER KNOW WHEN BRAKES WILL ENGAGE SOMETIMES DRAG WITHOUT BEING APPLIED. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THE AIR COMPRESSOR RUNNING INTERMITTENTLY, ALWAYS TRYING TO PUT AIR IN THE SYSTEM. WENT ON A 200 MILE TRIP AND THE CAR FEELS VERY UNSAFE AT 70 MPH. VERY NERVOUS DRIVE ESPECIALLY AROUND CORNERS. WILL DEFINITIVELY NOT TOW LIKE THIS. *TR

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
