2006 Nissan Armada Complaint Log

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 TAKING MY NINE YEAR OLD TO BOYSCOUT MEETING I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND SEVERAL LIGHTS CAME ON MY DASHBOARD. THE LIGHTS INCLUDED ABS, BRAKE LIGHT AND SOME OTHER LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GRINDING LIKE SOUND AND THE BRAKES SEEM TO GO OUT. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO SO I SLOWED DOWN AND SAT FRANTICALLY AT THE LIGHT. THEN I SLOWLY PULLED OVER IN THE PARKING LOT OF A SHOPPING CENTER AND STOPPED MY VEHICLE. I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES. I THEN STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND PRECEDED TO MY DESTINATION. NOTHING HAPPENED AFTER THIS. ABOUT ONE MONTH I EXPERIENCED THE SAME TYPE OF BRAKING PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN SHOP THEY FOUND NOTHING TO BE WRONG. *TR

WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED AND NUMEROUS INDICATOR LIGHTS LITE UP ON THE DASH CLUSTER PANEL. THE BRAKE PEDAL ITSELF WAS VIBRATING AND REQUIRED MORE EFFORT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. DURING THE ISSUE, TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY AND RESTARTING USUALLY RESOLVES THE ISSUE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER 40-50 TIME. CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP RESULTED IN A $500 BILL TO FLUSH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND RE-SURFACE THE BRAKE ROTORS. THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA LE. IT HAS RECENTLY HAD SERIOUS BRAKING PROBLEMS, IT IS INTERMITTENT, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY. APPROX. 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK, I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THEY DID NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. I HAD NO BRAKING POWER, THEN IT STARTED MAKING GRINDING NOISES BUT I STILL COULD NOT STOP IN A SAFE MANNER. MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT THE CAR AND WE SWITCHED KEYS-MEANING WE TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN ON AGAIN. AFTER THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF THE BRAKES BEGAN TO PERFORM NORMALLY. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO LES SCHWABB AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES BUT THEY BLED THE SYSTEM AND PUT NEW FLUID IN. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AND THE FIX IS ALWAYS TURNING THE TRUCK OFF. I AND MY CHILDREN WERE PUT IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION ON A MAJOR ROAD. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2006 ARMADA'S. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING BACK HOME AND OUR NISSAN ARMADA BREAKS FAILED. SENOR LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME. CLICKING SOUND WHEN DRIVING PARKED ETC. HORRIBLE SOUND FROM UNDER VEHICLE, AS I'M DRIVING. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES EVEN AFTER A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY JUST BRUSH IT OFF AND SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR TAKE IT FOR A LONG DRIVE.

2006 NISSAN ARMADA STALL ON FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING FLUIDS WERE CHECKED IN 3 DAYS AGO HAD A LITTLE OVER 1/4 TANK OF GAS. ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED ALMOST GOT REAR END IT BY A SEMI-TRUCK BARELY MADE SAFE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH A DEAD ENGINE MY FAMILY WAS VERY SCARE WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN WE'RE THANK FULL THAT NOTHING HAPPEN TO US WE TRY TO RESTART THE CAR BUT IT WAS DEAD, HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. *TR

2006 NISSAN ARMADA VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND BRAKES FAILED. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED AS I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT, FLAT STREET AT ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR. PRESSING THE BRAKES CAUSES A LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE ON THE FRONT THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE BRAKES BEING CHEWED UP. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT FOUR TIMES IN ABOUT A 6-MONTH PERIOD BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECENT RECALLS ON THE FUEL AND SOME UNDER THE VEHICLE PROBLEM. SINCE THAT TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURS CONSTANTLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY RAN TEST 59637 WHICH SHOWED CODE C1189 BOOSTER DEFECT. IT ALSO STATES THAT IS "UNSAFE TO DRIVE." I COULD NOT AFFORD A $1,200.00 REPAIR JOB SO THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD REPROGRAM IT TO SEE IF THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND IT DID NOT. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD ALREADY RUN OUT. I COMPLAINED BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BECAUSE I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY OTHER NISSAN ARMADA OWNERS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. BY THE WAY, THIS IS MY 5TH NISSAN VEHICLE AND I HAD NEVER HAD ANY JUST MAJOR PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT IF YOU OWN A VEHICLE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED PERIODICALLY. BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. *TR

ON AUGUST 11 2010 , WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2 KIDS 6 AND 2 YRS OLD , MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA CAUGHT ON FIRE , MY KIDS AND I WERE ABLE TO SMELL LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING, BUT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO SEE ANY SMOKE OR FIRE ANYWHERE AROUND US, IT WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO SEE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK ,, SHE SAID THE SMOKE WENT BY HER WINDOW , I LOOKED THRU MY MIRRORS BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING , I LOOKED AT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE WORKING JUST FINE , SO I TOLD MY DAUGHTER IF IT WAS OUR CAR BURNING I SUPPOSED THERE WOULD BE AN INDICATOR THAT WOULD TELL US THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE ,ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE SAW SMOKE AGAIN , SO MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO STOP AND CHECK , MAKE SURE WE WERE OK , I STOPPED A SOON AS I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND PARKED ON A SAFE PLACE. I STOPPED ABOUT 2 MINS LATER AFTER SHE TOLD ME . I TURNED THE MOTOR OFF AND GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK ,, SO I DECIDED TO GO AROUND AND CHECKED EVERYWHERE , WHEN I STARTED WALKING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK , RIGHT ON FRONT OF THE HOOD I COULD SMELL LIKE BURNING VERY CLOSE AND VERY STRONG SMELL , AND THE NEXT THING I SEE AS I KNELT DOWN RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK IS THE FAN ON FIRE . I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT MY EYES WHERE LOOKING AT, SO MY FIRST REACTION WAS TO GO BACK IN HE CAR AND GET MY KIDS OUT OF THE BURNING TRUCK,RIGHT AWAY SHE STARTED TO UNBUCKLE HER 2 YR OLD BROTHER . WE STARTED RUNNING TO GET AWAY FROM THE FIRE , WHILE I WAS CALLING 911.AFTER THE INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FIRE WAS CAUSED DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT THE TRUCK HAD ON THE COOLING FAN . THAT TRUCK HAD A RECALL ON JUNE 2008 , OF WHICH I NEVER HAD A NOTICE OF . UNTIL THIS DAY IM STILL WAITING ON ANY KIND OF RESPONSE FROM NISSAN.I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW SO I WAS HOPING THAT NISSAN WOULD TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT , SINCE THEY ENDANGERED OUR LIVES. AND I THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA LE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH DURING A RAIN STORM THE PARKING BRAKE, ABS, VDC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. HE HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES WHEN THEY WERE ENGAGED. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS MOVING UP AND DOWN AND THE VEHICLE BECAME HESITANT WHILE DRIVING. HE DROVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES THE VEHICLE STARTED BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING AND SOME OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER ADVISED HIM THAT THE ABS COMPUTER HAD BURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,300 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,327.

EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT HAS COME ON WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN TRYING TO STOP, THE CAR HAS LOW BRAKING POWER AND GRINDS AND JUMPS. ALMOST IN 3 ACCIDENTS NOW. YOU HAVE TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OUT THERE. NISSAN PLAYS DUMB AND TRIES TO CHARGE YOU $180 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE AND THEN $900 FOR A BRAKE BOOSTER. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. WHY HAS THE NHTSA NOT INVESTIGATED??? *TR

MY 06 NISSAN ARMARDA HAS OVER 78000 MILES ON IT. ONE DAY WITHOUT WARNING, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON - THE SOUND THAT THE ABS MAKES WHEN ITS IN USE HAPPENS & BRAKES BECOME SPONGY. IT FELT LIKE THEY FELL RIGHT OUT THE BOTTOM. NEXT MORNING IT WAS AT MY LOCAL GOOD YEAR. THEY REPLACED THE CALIPERS, AND BRAKE PADS - ALL WAS WELL, SO I THOUGHT. 2 WEEKS LATE THE SAME THING. BACK IT WENT TO THE SHOP & NOTHING COULD BE FOUND SINCE THIS DEFECT SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF. THIS 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 30 MILES AN HOUR, JUST A SLIGHT TAP & THE BRAKES WERE LOST. I DROVE IT RIGHT TO THE SHOP & THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE GRINDING SINCE I NEVER PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK. BUT THE NEXT DAY THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. I NOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE NISSAN DEALER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS COMPONENTS. THANKFULLY FOR GEICOS MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN INSURANCE SO FAR I'VE ONLY HAD TO PAY THE $250 DEDUCTIBLE. ITS GOOD FOR UP TO 7 YEARS/100,000 MILES. *TR

WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A PARKED POSITION, SOMETIMES THE BRAKES WILL MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN PRESSED. IF YOU HIT YOUR BRAKES DURING THIS PERIOD THERE IS A GRIND PULSATING FEELING IN THE BRAKES. I DON'T KNOW IF THE BRAKES ARE REALLY EVEN WORKING DURING THIS TIME, BUT THE ONLY THE WAY TO CLEAR THIS IS TO SOMEHOW STOP THE CAR WITHOUT DESTROYING SOMETHING AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTING IT. THIS SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT IT WILL INTERMITTENTLY DO IT AGAIN IN ABOUT A MONTH OR SO. IS NISSAN DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? I NEVER REALLY FEEL SECURE DRIVING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN I 'M AT FULL SPEED AND REALLY NEED THE BRAKES! *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. IF YOU HIT YOUR BRAKES DURING THIS PERIOD THERE IS A GRIND PULSATING FEELING IN THE BRAKES. VERY UNSURE BRAKING WHEN THAT HAPPENS. THE ONLY THE WAY TO CLEAR THIS IS THE SOMEHOW STOP THE CAR WITHOUT DESTROYING SOMETHING AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTING IT. THIS SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT IT WILL INTERMITTENTLY DO IT AGAIN IN ABOUT A MONTH OR SO. WHAT'S THE DEAL? *TR

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. EVERY 3-6 MONTHS THE BRAKES WILL MAKE A SCARY NOISE (CAN'T REALLY DESCRIBE IT - GRINDING/CLANKING), THE BRAKES WORK AT ABOUT 10% AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT, THE NOISE DISAPPEARS AND THE BRAKES WORK AT 100% ONCE AGAIN. SO FAR IT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN A SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY. IF IT DOES, THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH. I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED ABOUT THIS ONE "SAME" PROBLEM AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT MORE THE CONSUMERS CAN DO, BUT I WILL BE CONTACTING NISSAN AND OTHERS TO SEE WHAT MORE CAN BE DONE. *TR

2006 NISSAN ARMADA- STALLS WITHOUT WARNING LEAVING VEHICLE STRANDED IN TRAFFIC, DASH LIGHTS FLASH AND NO VEHICLE CODES AVAILABLE. IPDM OR CONTROLLER REPLACED TO FIX. *TR

CAR STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. RESTARTS AFTER 4-5 CRANKS. THIS OCCURRED ABOUT TEN TIMES BEFORE CAR TAKEN TO DEALER. WHEN CAR STALLS / ENGINE STOPS AND THE LOSS OF STEERING ABILITY AND BRAKE ASSIST IS REDUCED. THIS OCCURRED ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE #1 LANE WITH NO EMERGENCY LANE AVAILABLE. CAUSING SEVERAL NEAR MISSES BY OTHER CARS IN TRYING TO COAST TO THE RIGHTSIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL CRANKS AND WAS DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE IPDM WAS REPLACED UNDER THE DIAGNOSE OF A INTERMITTENT OPEN CIRCUIT INSIDE THE MODULE. ALSO THIS ISSUE NEVER GAVE ANY TROUBLE CODES OR EVEN NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.. THIS STALLING WOULD OCCUR ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING.THE OLD PART WAS NOT RETURNED TO ME EVEN THOUGH I REQUESTED IT BEFORE REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE SERVICE WRITER APPARENTLY DID NOT TELL THE MECHANIC. THE COST TO REPLACE THE MODULE WAS $439.00.*TR

MY FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING CORRECT AND I AM MOVEING FROM FLORIDA TO NEW YORK SOON. I DID NOT HAVE A INCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY WITH MY 3 KIDS IN THE CAR AND THE VDC SLIP AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NO WHERE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND I BROUGH THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AFTER PAYING FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSIS IT THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO CCOME ON SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I WOULD TAKE IT IN AND THEY WOULD SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG. ONE PARTICULAR DAY I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 3 KIDS AND I WENT TO STOP AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO DO A PULSING ACTION AND SOUNDED AS THOUGH THEY WERE GRINDING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I STARTED TO CRY AND PANIC BECAUSE I HAD ALL OF MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO SO I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND LET THE CAR ROLL AND JUST PULLED AWAY FROM TRAFFIC AS MUCH AS I COULD. FINALLY I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I HIT THE BREAKS AND EMERGENCY BREAK TO MAKE IT STOP. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND WAS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE AFTER THAT SO I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ASKED IF I COULD BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY. ONCE AT THE DEALER I WAS TOLD AGAIN NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT MY BRAKES WERE FINE AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME 2 MORE TIMES AND STILL NO ONE SEEMS TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND EACH TIME I PRESS ON THEM I AM TERRIFIED THAT THE CAR IS NOT GONNA STOP. THE BRAKES ALWAYS FEEL AS THOUGH THEY AREN'T GONNA STOP AND THEY HAVE AN UNEASY FEELING WHEN YOU PRESS THEM. I CANNOT CLAIM THE CAR AS A LEMON BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT USED WITH 29,000 MILES WHICH IS NOT ALOT. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR THE NISSAN ARMADA BECAUSE MY CAR DID NOT HAVE ALOT OF MILES WHEN THIS STARTED AND IT IS STILL HAVING ISSUES.

REAR AUTO LEVELING SUSPENSION FAILURE. WOULD NOT AUTO LEVEL THE REAR OF VEHICLE DUE TO AIR LEAK. VEHICLE HANDLED VERY POORLY AND WAS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. REAR OF VEHICLE WAS TWO TO THREE INCHES LOWER THAN OEM SPECIFICATIONS.

APPLIED PRESSURE TO BRAKE TO AVOID A COLLISION. BRAKE ARM SNAPPED INTO. NO BRAKES. VEHICLE TRAVELED 100 FT. BEFORE STOPPING. HAD TO EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. NISSAN AS DONE NOTHING AS OF YET. THE BRAKE PEDAL, PIECES AND ARM ARE IN OUR POSSESSION. *TR

MY HUSBAND HAVE A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE CLUTCH FAILS DAILY. WE HAVE NOTIFIED NISSAN AND WE HAVE GONE ONLINE TO PLACE COMPLAINTS ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE REGARDING THE CLUTCH PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 NISSAN. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP HE WAS TOLD THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER WAS BAD WHICH IS STATED ON THE NISSAN SITE. I HAVE A 2006 ARMARDA SUV AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON DAILY AND THE BRAKES WILL STOP WORKING INSTANTLY. I HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED. I HAVE ALSO PLACED THIS COMPLAINT ON THE NISSAN SITE WITH NO RESPONSE BACK. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2006 SUV BRAKES AND I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE SUV'S ALONG WITH THE ALTIMA AND REPLACE THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE CLUTCH. THIS HAS HAPPEN MANY TIMES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. BY THE GRACE OF GOD WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLES. *TR

EVERY 3 OR 4 MONTHS, MY 2006 ARMADA WILL HAVE A GRINDING NOISES WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON. I WILL NOT HAVE ANY BRAKES WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I ALWAYS NEED TO STOP THE TRUCK, TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. THIS SEEMS TO RE-CALIBRATE THE SYSTEM AND IT WILL BE FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. IT SEEMS NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE 2006 ARMADA AND FIX THIS CALIBRATION PROBLEM BEFORE A TRAGEDY TAKES PLACE. *TR

APPROXIMATELY MIDDLE OF 2009, WAS PULLING UP TO STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WANT TO STOP AND MADE A HORRIBLE CRUNCH SOUND WITH PEDDLE ALL THE WAY DOWN THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STOPPED. CONTACTED NISSAN AND MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR A DEALER TO LOOK AT IT. OF COURSE IT DOESN'T DO THIS ALL THE TIME, BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING...THEY SUPPOSEDLY RESET THE SENSOR AND SAID THAT IT MAY IFS THE PROBLEM THEN AGAIN NOT...WENT ON A FORUM AND THERE IS SEVERAL OWNERS OF THIS SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE...SINCE THE IT HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES. I MADE A COMPLIANT WITH YOU PEOPLE AND NISSAN. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL...THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM. OUR VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND LOW MILES. WE BOUGHT FOR PULLING OUR TOY HAULER WHICH WE NOW DON'T FEEL SAFE TO PULL WITH THIS CONTINUOUS ISSUE...NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE AND DOES NOTHING BUT TRYING TO GET US TO PAY A 1,000.00 PLUS TO REPLACE THE BREAK BOOSTER AND SENSOR WITH NO PROMISES DO CURING THE PROBLEM.....PLEASE, WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A RECALL BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS FATAL ACCIDENT. THANK YOU. *TR

AROUND 7/09, MY ARMADA JUST STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY (ACCORDING TO THE GAS GAUGE, WE HAD A 1/2 TANK LEFT)... THEN FOUND OUT ON 7/27/09 THAT GAS GAUGE WAS FAULTY, SO I HAD TO PAY $560.21 TO ANTIOCH NISSAN TO HAVE THAT REPLACED. ON 3/3/10, HEARD ON THE NEWS THERE'S A RECALL ON FUEL GAUGE ON MY NISSAN & GOT MY REIMBURSEMENT & HAD FUEL GAUGE REPLACED AGAIN ON 4/2/10... ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I PUT GAS IN MY ARMADA, IT TAKES FOREVER FOR THE GAS GAUGE TO GO UP TO WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE (IE. I PUT $40 WHICH SHOULD PUT IT IN 1/2 TANK... I DROVE 5 MILES BEFORE IT ACTUALLY GOT FROM 1/4 TANK TO 1/2 TANK... I TOOK PICTURES OF THIS OCCURRENCE). *TR

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

TEMPORARY LOSS OF BRAKES AND CONTROL OF CAR; ABS LIGHT COMES ON. THIS OCCURRED TWICE AND EACH TIME BROUGHT TO DEALER. THEY WERE AWARE OF PROBLEM AND MADE AN ADJUSTMENT. STILL DRIVE UNCERTAIN WHETHER IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS IN MY OPINION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO BRAKE WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. *TR

"FOR ABOUT THE LAST 6 MONTHS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A HALF DOZEN TIMES OR SO AN ISSUE WITH BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE BRAKES PULSATE WHEN PUSHED AS THOUGH THE ABS IS KICKING IN, GRINDING IS FELT AND HEARD AND BRAKING ONLY BARELY WORKS. THIS ONLY SEEMS TO OCCUR AT LOWER (NON-FREEWAY) SPEEDS AND THE ISSUE USUALLY CORRECTS ITSELF UPON SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING. APPEARS OUR ISSUE IS TO TSB NTB06-040, BUT I AM NOT SURE AT THIS POINT. GOING TO TRY TO GET IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK AND HOPEFULLY GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE NET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE (SEE COMPLAINT #S BELOW) WITH SOME PEOPLE HAVING ACCIDENTS. MY WIFE NORMALLY IS THE DRIVER AND CARRYING MY 3 YEAR OLD TWINS....WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THIS ISSUE TO HAVE A RECALL??? " COMPLAINT #'S THAT APPEAR SIMILAR (JUST SOME EXAMPLES) 10204163 10245831 10245775 10243828 10243182 10238148 10223304 10204203 10262576 ADDITIONALLY, PLEASE SEE THREADS BELOW FOR OTHER DOCUMENTATION OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.CLUBARMADA.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=918 HTTP://WWW.CLUBARMADA.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=8776. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IT ABOUT THE 2006 ARMADA, THE WINDSHIELD POST ARE TO THICK, THEY OBSTRUCT YOUR VIEW TO MUCH . MY WIFE AND CHILD ALL MOST LOST THEIR LIFE'S PULLING OUT OF A SIDE ROAD, THE WINDSHIELD POST WILL HIDE AN ENTIRE MAC TRUCK! I MYSELF NOTICED IT THE FIRST TIME I ALMOST RAN OVER SOME KIDS ON BIKES , WE HAVE COME CLOSE TO HEAVING AT LEAST 10 WRECKS . I WANT MY MONEY THAT I PAID FOR THIS VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE I KNOW WE ARE NOT THE ONLY FAMILY THAT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM .YOU SHOULD CHECK IN TO THIS FOR US . I THOUGHT THEIR WAS A LIMIT ON HOW WIDE THE WINDSHIELD POST COULD BE . *TR

ABS SYSTEM CAUSES BRAKES TO THINK THEY HAVE GONE OUT. STOPS IF I TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART. ALSO ANOTHER ITEM: SEAT BELTS LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY EVEN THOUGH ALL SEAT BELTS ARE FASTENED. I UNDERSTAND THIS INTERFERS WITH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

COOPER CTS TIRES 70,000 MILES TOOK MY VEHICLE NISSAN ARMARDA FOR TIRE ROTATION AND BRAKE INSPECTION MY ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND TIRES HAD SIGNIFICANT WEAR 3 PLACES EXAMINED TIRES AND ALL AGREED THEIR WAS SIGNIFICANT WEAR AND NEED REPLACEMENT. MY AUTO SHOP CALLED COOPERS THEY SAID THEY'LL REPLACE 70% TOWARD COST OF NEW ONES BUT REMEMBER THESE TIRES ARE ONLY 9MOS OLD I WANTED THEM REPLACED AT NO CHARGED. AND WANTED THEM TO HONOR THEIR TIRES. MY TIRES ARE CAUSING ME TO HYDO PLANE IN WATER, THE STEERING IS NOT STABLE ( HEAVY VIBRATION ON STEERING COLUMN WITH SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH) DISPUTE HAVING A NEW ALIGNMENT THEIR IS COUPLING IN TIRES AND A BLISTER ON MY REAR TIRE LEFT DRIVER SIDE. CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY BUT WAS TOLD TIRES ARE OK TIRES ARE AT 832NDS INSIDE AND 632ND OUTSIDE THESE TIRES WONT LAST ME ANOTHER SIX MONTH AT THIS RATE AND FELL IF I KEEP DRIVING ON THEM I'LL HAVE FAILURE EVENTUALLY AND COULD HAVE CONSEQUENCES.I ONLY PUT 12,000 MI ON THEM IN 9MOS. I SPOKE WITH COOPERS REPRESENTATIVE WHO WAS INSENSITIVE AND WAS NOT RESPONSIVE TO MY QUESTIONING ABOUT TIRES AND SAFETY. AND SAID THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO.THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO SEE THEM TO EVEN CONSIDER REPLACEMENT I SAID LETS DO THAT BUT HE SAID I DIDN'T HAVE TO BECAUSE WE AGREED WITH THE AUTO SHOP FOR 70%I SAID IF THEIR IS A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL IN TIRE WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO SEE THEM? HE THEN GAVE ME A RUN AROUND AND WOULD NOT RESPONSE TO MY QUESTIONING. SO, I SAID WHY WOULD I WANT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER SET OF COOPERS WHEN I'M TREATED WITHOUT REGARDS TO MY SAFETY AND FAMILIES SAFETY?AS WELL AS THE QUALITY OF YOUR PRODUCT I SAID REPLACE THE TIRES WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO THEY ARE 70,000 MI TIRES WITH OVER 50% WEAR AND RISING AFTER 9MOS. I ONLY USED 20% OF THE TIRE I SAID SHOULDN'T I RECEIVE 80% BACK? HE ALSO NOTED THAT IF A CUSTOMER IS DISATISFIED WITH OUR PRODUCT THAT THEY COULD AT ANYTIME ASK FOR REPLACEMENT. I SAID THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR!!! HE THEN SAID NOTHINGS WRONG WITH TIRES JUST 70% . *TR

WE WERE ON I75 RUSH HOUR , WE HAD BEEN STOPPING AND GOING FOR ABOUT 5 MIN AT THAT POINT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE PRESSED THE BRAKE IT SOUNDED LIKE GRINDING AND SQUEALING, WITH VERY LITTLE BREAKING CONTROL. WE DIDN'T THINK WE WERE GOING TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT... NOT ... NOW WE HAVE BEEN STUCK PAYING FOR A VEHICLE WE CAN'T DRIVE OR SELL. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS. WHY NO RECALLS ? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN OR GET HURT UNTIL NISSAN STEPS UP TO THE PLATE. *TR

BRAKES ARE MAKING A NOISE AND THE ABS, VDC AND SLIP LIGHTS ARE COMING UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WE HAVE TRIED TURNING ON AND OFF VEHICLE. THIS MADE THE LIGHTS GO OFF AT FIRST. WE HAVE CHECKED BRAKE FLUID. WE HAVE HAD THE BRAKES INSPECTED. NO VISIBLE REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS MY VEHICLE NOT COVERED IN THE NTB06-040 RECALL? *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA, THE BRAKES GOES OUT, LIGHTS COME ON AND ONCE YOU PULL OVER AND RESTART YOUR VEHICLE IT PERFORMS AS NORMAL. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED MY PADS AND ROTORS NEED REPLACING, I DID THAT AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS. IT FEELS AS IF YOUR HITTING METAL. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA HAD SERIOUS BRAKE FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING IN A PARKING LOT AT LESS THAN 15 MPH. THE BRAKE PEDAL SEIZED AND THE ABS KICKED ON, THE DASH VIBRATED AND THE BRAKING POWER DROPPED TO ALMOST NOTHING. THE CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP EVEN AT SUCH A LOW RATE OF SPEED. AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING THE CAR OFF THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO DISAPPEAR. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL THE DEALER FIXES THE PROBLEM. CURRENT MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 32,000 AND THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT 31,980 MILES. *TR

RECURRING, INTERMITTENT BRAKE ISSUE WITH 2006 NISSAN ARMADA OFF ROAD SE. PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON RESULTING IN SEVERE SHUDDERING IN THE VEHICLE THAT IS MORE PRONOUNCED DURING BRAKING. BRAKING CAPABILITY IS REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY RESULTING IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, PARTICULARLY DUE TO THE TRANSIENT NATURE OF THE ISSUE. VEHICLE MUST BE TURNED OFF TO RESET CONDITION. NISSAN DEALERSHIP TRIED REPROGRAMMING VDC TO FIX WHICH DID NOT WORK. NOW THEY ARE LOOKING AT REPLACING BRAKE BOOST ACTUATOR. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMMON IN 2004 AND LATER MODEL ARMADAS. *TR

SOMETIME IN MID AUGUST 2008, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE OUT RUNNING ERRANDS IN OUR 2006 ARMADA. SHE CAME HOME AND TOLD ME ABOUT THE "BRAKE" LIGHT COMING ON, SEVERE FRONT END "SHUDDERING" AS SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND DIFFICULTY STOPPING. I WENT OUT TO THE VEHICLE, TURNED IT ON, THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. I DROVE THE VEHICLE AROUND FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES WITH NO PROBLEMS. I DID SLOW EVEN STOPS, HARD "EMERGENCY TYPE" STOPS, BRAKING AROUND CORNERS. NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID, IT WAS SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE MINIMUM LINE, SO I TOPPED IT OFF WITH THE PRESCRIBED BRAKE FLUID. THE CAR OPERATED JUST FINE UNTIL SEPT 12, 2008 AT APPROX. 4:50 PM WHEN AT 40 MPH I APPROACHED A TWO WAY STOP SIGN, APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND NOTHING HAPPENED, I FRANTICALLY PUMPED THE BRAKES, UNTIL THE WALL IN FRONT OF ME WAS CLOSE AND I INSTINCTIVELY PUT MY HANDS IN FRONT OF MY FACE. THE VEHICLE HIT THE CURB AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE, JUMPED THE CURB, CRASHED THROUGH A SAFETY SIGN, AND THEN CRASHED THROUGH A 18-24" SEWER LINE THAT HAD YET TO BE BURIED. IN FACT THE ARMADA ALMOST ROLLED AS IT WAS RIDING ON TOP OF A PIECE OF THE SEVERED SEWER LINE. I CALLED 911, AND THEN SMELLED GASOLINE. HAZMAT WAS CALLED BECAUSE THE FUEL LINE WAS RUPTURED BY THE SIGN GOING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS COMING THE OTHER WAY. I WAS TRANSPORTED VIA AMBULANCE, DIAGNOSED WITH A "DEEP CHEST CONTUSION" FROM THE SEAT BELTS. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AS OF THIS WRITING ON 10/17/08 NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA IS STILL "REVIEWING" THE RESULTS OF THE INDEPENDENT 3RD PARTY THEY SENT OUT TO TEST THE CAR. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THIS REVIEW BY THEIR ENGINEERING AND LEGAL DEPARTMENTS COULD TAKE SEVERAL MORE WEEKS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH AFTER ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND AFTER DOWN SHIFTING AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR YEARS LATER . THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

MULTIPLE TIMES, OUR NISSAN ARMADA HAS HAD INCIDENTS WITH THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL MODULATES/SHUTTERS, STOPPING DISTANCES ARE INCREASED, AND A LOUD VIBRATION CAN BE HEARD AND FELT FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND FOUND MANY OTHER ARMADA AND TITAN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. SEE "ARMADA DELTA STROKE SENSOR" OR "ARMADA BRAKE PROBLEM" IN A GOOGLE SEARCH. ALSO, NISSAN HAS JUST SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT: HTTP://WWW.COURTHOUSENEWS.COM/2013/12/26/64077.HTM. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF THESE VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR
