2008 Nissan Armada Complaint Log

MY WIFE AND I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. DURING MY WIFE'S COMMUTE HOME THE INSIDE CONTROL PANEL FEEL FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING HER TO ALMOST COLLIDE WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT THE REASON IT FELL WAS DUE TO THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HELD IT UP WERE BRITTLE FROM EXTREME HEAT EXPOSURE. THEIR IS NO BARRIER PROTECTION FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR TO THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HOLD IT. THIS CONSOLE WEIGHS ABOUT 25-30 POUNDS, AND COULD HURT ANY PASSENGERS IN THE MIDDLE OR BACK OF THE VEHICLE. IF INSULATION WAS INSTALLED IN BETWEEN THE VEHICLE'S SHELL AND THE INTERIOR OF THE ROOF THIS COULD BE AVOIDED. THIS WOULD AVOID EXTREME HEAT FROM HURTING THE INTEGRITY OF THE PLASTIC CLIPS, OR METAL CLIPS SHOULD BE USED.

I PURCHASED A USED NISSAN 2008 ARMADA LE FROM ROYAL NISSAN ON 07/11/2015 AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON AND THEY TOLD ME THE TIRES WERE LOW AND THE SENSORS ARE GONE AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR IT HAD THE TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS AND TRUCK WOULD NOT START PAID FOR FUEL PUMP AND WRECKER AND THEY SAID IT WAS COMPUTER 400.00 OUT OF POCKET WHEN IT WAS A RECALL ON FUEL SYSTEM BEFORE I HAD TRUCK AND WHEN DRIVING TRUCK AROUND CURVE IT IS LIKE THE TRUCK IS ABOUT TO LOOSE CONTROL FROM THE FRONT AND REAR YOU HAVE TO HOLD STEERING WHEEL TIGHT.BUT I NEED MY 400AND SOMETHING DOLLARS BACK THEY MADE ME PAY FOR A RECALL PART SHAME ON THEM.NOW IN APRIL MY BATTERY WENT OUT AND I CHANGED IT AND THE AIRBAG SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON BLINKING AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR THIS AND IT IS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE UNDER THE DASHBOARD AND REAR BACK DOOR NOW WHEN YOU START IT UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, FUEL STARTED TO LEAK OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL ONTO MY TWO KIDS WHILE DRIVING. SUB PAR MATERIAL USED IN THE FLIMSY PLASTIC BRACKETS CRACKED AND THE WHOLE THING CAME FALLING DOWN. ONLY THING HOLDING IT UP WAS THE MAIN POWER CABLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THERE A GREAT NUMBER OF THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE.

THE REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE BECAME LOOSE AND FELL WHILE I WAS AT WORK ONE DAY, WHEN I CAME OUT TO MY VEHICLE THE WHOLE CONSOLE WAS HANGING BY ONE OF THE WIRES THAT CONNECTS TO THE AC AND RADIO IN THE CEILING. I HAVE 3 YOUNG CHILDREN THAT SIT IN THE SECOND SEAT OF MY VEHICLE WHERE THE CONSOLE HAD FALLEN, THANK GOODNESS THEY WERE NOT SITTING THERE THAT DAY! I HAD ASKED MY MECHANIC TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE CONSOLE, HE WAS NOT ABLE TO AND SUGGESTED THAT I BRING IT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. FROM THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE, NISSAN IS NOT CONSIDERING IT A RECALL ITEM .... WHY NOT??? IT IS OBVIOUSLY A BAD DESIGN, IT IS TOO BIG, IT IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE CEILING SECURELY ENOUGH FOR SUCH A BIG CONSOLE AND ONCE THE PLASTIC BECOMES OLDER AND BRITTLE .... IT BREAKS! NOW, I DO NOT HAVE AC OR LIGHTS THROUGHOUT MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE VENTS AND LIGHTS BEING IN THE CEILING FOR ANYONE RIDING IN THE SECOND AND THIRD SEATS AKA MY CHILDREN!

MY HUSBAND WAS BACKING UP IN THE ARMADA WHEN THE BREAK LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REAL REASON. THE BREAKS SOUNDED AS THOUGH THEY WERE GRINDING OR SLIPPING. THE BREAKS DID NOT STOP THE CAR PROPERLY ANYMORE . WE PULLED INTO GAS STATION WHERE WE SHUT THE CAR OFF . WHEN RESTARTING IT THE BREAK LIGHT WAS OFF AND BREAKS WORKED NORMAL AGAIN. 1DAY WHILE DRIVING THE BREAKS DID IT AGAIN, I COULD BARELY STOP THE ARMADA. ONLY WAY TO FIX IT WAS TO SHUT CAR OFF. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A BREAK BOOSTER MALFUNCTION. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS BY NISSAN BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED FROM LOSS OF BREAKS! THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE ON LINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND STORIES OF THE ARMADA BREAKS FAILING.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT A GRINDING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND, AFTER RESTARTING IT, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V072000 (SERVICE BRAKES); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

I LEFT WORK AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN VIBRATING AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS MAKING A HORRID NOISE AND I HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN LOW GEAR TO GET IT TO SLOW IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. TODAY 03/10/2015 I RECEIVED A LETTER REGARDING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN REGARDS TO A SENSOR WITHIN THE BRAKE BOOSTER STATING I NEEDED TO FILE A CLAIM IN ORDER TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR REPAIRS, ALTHOUGH THE CASE HAS NOT BEEN SETTLED AND THE IS NO FINAL COURT DATE UNTIL 05/15/2015 AND WE MAY NOT BE REIMBURSED UNTIL SEPTEMBER OR LATER.. I NEED MY VEHICLE REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY AND DON'T HAVE TIME TO FILE A CLAIM NOR DO I HAVE MONEY TO BE OUT OF POCKET ON A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. NISSAN HAS NOT NOTIFIED THEIR CONSUMERS OF THIS ISSUE AND THIS IS THE FIRST THING I HAVE HEARD OF IT FROM THIS LAW FIRM. I AM POSITIVE THERE HAVE PROBABLY BEEN ACCIDENTS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS ISSUE WHICH NISSAN SEEMS TO BE COVERING UP. NISSAN NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND REPAIR THIS BRAKE BOOSTER IMMEDIATELY AND NISAAN CONSUMERS NEED TO BE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY. THIS BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE INCLUDES 2004-2008 NISSAN TITAN, ARMADA, AND INFINITI QX56 WITH VDC. *TR

SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING POWER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. NOISE FROM DASH. HUMMING. BRAKES NOT RESPONDING. SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR ENTIRE FAMILY, INCLUDING 2 CHILDREN (13 AND 6YRS OLD). DOWNSHIFTED TO LOWER GEARS AND PULLED OVER. RESTARTED CAR AND IT RESET. WE WERE TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP IT WOULD COST AT LEAST $1000. WE ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOLLOWED BY MARKED REDUCTION IN BRAKING POWER. BRAKING CAUSED A GRINDING AND SPRINGY SOUND. ONCE CAR WAS TURNED OFF PROBLEM RESOLVED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS. TWICE EVEN AFTER BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED (CODE C1179). THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL BUT THERE ARE MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS TO FIND ONLINE. SAFETY IS DEFINITELY IMPACTED.

WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH I BEGAN TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES WHEN A GRINDING NOISE SUDDENLY OCCURRED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AS NORMAL. THE BRAKE LIGHTS, T/C LIGHT POPPED UP ON THE DASH BOARD. I ACCELERATED AGAIN TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AS I PRESSED THE BRAKES AGAIN THE GRINDING NOISE OCCURRED AND NO MATTER HOW HARD U PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP UNTIL IT LOST MOVING MOMENTUM. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF AND THE BRAKES OPERATED NORMAL UNTIL A FEW WEEKS LATER IT WOULD REOCCUR AND NOW HAS BECOME A RANDOMLY REPETITIVE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE BRAKES MADE A GRINDING NOISE. THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO STOP COMPLETELY. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I WAS SLOWING DOWN GETTING READY TO ENTER A PARKING LOT. I STARTED TO PRESS THE BRAKES, AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH TURNS ON. I HEARD GRINDING AND THE VEHICLE KEEP MOVING BUT THE BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK. I PLACED THE FLASHERS ON. I THEN TURNED OFF THE ARMADA. I RESTARTED IT AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AFTER THAT. BUT NOW I'M SCARED, THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR MY FAMILY. WHAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ME ON A FREEWAY? I CALLED CENTRAL HOUSTON NISSAN (HOUSTON, TX) AND THEY SEEMED TO BE BOTHERED WITH ME CALLING ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT. AND THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. AND NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT ANY FAULT? I HOPE THAT NO ONE GETS INJURED OR WORSE FROM THIS...

MY 2008 NISSAN ARMADA 'S INTERIOR ROOF CONSOLE FELL ON TOP OF MY CHILDREN AND THEIR FRIEND'S HEAD WITHOUT WARNING. THIS POSED AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY CHILDREN AS WELL AS ME. AFTER PICKING UP MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND FROM PRACTICE, THE INTERIOR ROOF CONSOLE COMPLETELY FELL ON TOP OF THEM. WE WERE ALL SO SCARED. WHEN I HEARD THE LOUD NOISE, I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND WASN'T SURE WHAT HAPPENED. AT FIRST I THOUGHT WE SOMEHOW WERE HIT BUT I QUICKLY REALIZED THAT IT WAS THE CONSOLE THAT FELL. MY REAR VIEW WAS COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTED. THE CONSOLE HIT TWO OF THEM ON TOP OF THE HEAD AND THEY WERE IN THE MIDDLE ROW. IT ALSO HIT MY 6 YEAR OLD ON THE TOP OF THE HEAD WHO WAS IN THE BACK ROW. THEY HAD TO HOLD IT UP UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP . IT WAS HANGING BY THE ELECTRICAL WIRES FOR THE LIGHTS AND DVD PLAYER. I TOOK PICTURES AND CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHICH NEVER RETURNED ANY OF MY PHONE CALLS. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT FOR A POORLY MANUFACTURED CONSOLE. IT'S MADE OUT OF PLASTIC AND SHOULD BE BOLTED TO THE ROOF WITH METAL SCREWS. THIS IS THE 4TH NISSAN THAT I HAVE OWNED AND SADLY I DOUBT THAT I WILL OWN ANOTHER UNLESS THIS SAFETY ISSUES IS RESOLVED. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR 10 YEARS AND INTRODUCED 5 FAMILIES TO THE NISSAN FAMILY AND IF THIS SAFETY ISSUE ISN'T RESOLVED AT NISSAN EXPENSE, I WILL BE LEAVING. *TR

DURING NORMAL DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAS A BRAKE LIGHT THAT COMES ON AND THE CAR WILL NOT STOP PROPERLY. THE ABS IS ACTIVATED AND THE CAR MUST BE RESTARTED TO CLEAR THE BRAKE LIGHT AND FOR THE BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM. *TR

WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH A GRINDING NOISE. NO BRAKES WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND BRAKE LIGHT LIT UP ON DASH. ONCE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, PROBLEM RESET ITSELF AND BRAKES WORKED LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO OTHER TIMES SINCE THEN WITH PROBLEM BEING RESOLVED BY TURNING CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO RESET. ONLY REMEDY NISSAN GIVES IS TAKE IT TO NEAREST DEALER WHEN THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THIS IS OVER AN HOUR AWAY FROM WHERE I LIVE, AND ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN. WITH NO BRAKES, THIS IS SOMETHING I AM NOT WILLING TO RISK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED AND BRAKING POWER SEIZED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

THE AUTO LEVELING SUSPENSION WILL NOT HOLD AIR. SYSTEM DEFLATES AND THE VEHICLE BOUNCES UNCONTROLLABLY. *TR

ROOF CONSOLE CRACKED AND IS HANGING FROM THE ROOF. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND FOR THEM TO REPLACE IT ITS GOING TO COST ME 3000 THAT IS ABSURD. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NISSANS PROBLEM FOR USING CHEAP BRACKETS TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO DO A RECALL ON THESE AND FIX THEM. I OWN 3 NISSAN CARS AND AFTER THIS NOT SURE I WANT A CAR THAT WILL FALL APART AND NO ONE WANTS TO MAKE THE EFFORT TO FIX IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

THE BRAKES JUST RANDOMLY START GRINDING AND DON'T WORK. YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART FOR IT TO RESET. I WENT TO A BRAKE SHOP AND SINCE I HAD SHUT IT OFF THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT HAS DONE THIS 3 TIMES NOW. ALSO MY OVERHEAD COMPARTMENT FELL, ALL THE PLASTIC IS CRUMBLING. IT IS AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT TO REPLACE THIS PART. I LOVE MY NISSAN BUT THIS IS CRAZY THAT THEY WONT DO A RECALL FOR THESE WHEN MOSTLY ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ARE ABOUT THESE TWO ISSUES. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT REGARDING THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE IN MY 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. INITIALLY I RAISED CONCERN ABOUT THE CONSOLE BEING LOOSE. THIS MORNING THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL ONTO MY CHILD.I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT WHY NO RECALL WAS NEVER ISSUED WHEN THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE GOTTEN THE RUNAROUND FROM THEM. I TOOK MY ARMADA TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING TO REPAIR THE CONSOLE. I WAS TOLD THERE IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE CONSOLE IS SECURED BY PLASTIC BRACKETS THAT EVENTUALLY BREAK. THE CONSOLE CANNOT BE REPAIRED, ONLY REPLACED. TO REPLACE THE CONSOLE IS $2900. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR NISSAN'S USE OF SUBPAR PARTS. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED TO ADDRESS THIS. FORTUNATELY MY CHILD WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

DRIVING ON A CROWDED FREEWAY IN HOUSTON. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN A SLOW DOWN WAS ATTEMPTED, THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD NOISE AND THE PEDAL WAS SOFT. BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS WAS SEVERELY REDUCED. WE WERE ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AND STOP. ONCE STOPPED, WE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN RESTARTED IT. ONCE RESTARTED, THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY THE 5TH TIME THAT THE SAME HAS HAPPENED. OTHER TIMES, HAVE HAPPENED RARELY, SEVERAL MONTHS APART. UPON CALLING NISSAN, THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT NOT FOR CERTAIN. *TR

I'VE NOTICED THE VEHICLE STEERING AND BRAKES SHAKING UPON APPLYING WHILE STOPPING FOR SIGNAL LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. IT WILL ALSO HAPPEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IF ANOTHER CAR PULLS OVER IN FRONT OF ME AND I APPLY THE BRAKES. THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY - I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE AT 35 MPH. I LOOKED AT MY SPEEDOMETER TO DOUBLE CHECK MY SPEED AND NOTICED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. I LOOKED AT MY ER BRAKE AND IT WAS NOT ENGAGED. WHEN I APPLIED MY FOOT BRAKE TO STOP AT A SIGNAL LIGHT, THE CAR SHOOK, THE BRAKES MADE A GRINDING NOISE, AND MADE AN ELECTRONIC/SPRING TYPE NOISE. THE PEDAL LOWERED ITSELF ABOUT ANOTHER 1/3 DISTANCE BEFORE STOPPING. MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT. WHAT IF I COULDN'T HAVE STOP AT THE SCHOOL CROSSING ZONE AND HAD HIT A CHILD? (WHAT WOULD NISSAN HAVE SAID TO THAT?) I DROVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE AND PARKED IN FRONT ON LEVEL GROUND. SINCE I WAS FROM OUT OF TOWN, WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL FIRESTONE. THE FIRESTONE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES OR PADS. SEEMS LIKE TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING IT, RESET IT. THE FIRESTONE DEALER STATED IT HAD TO BE ELECTRONIC. I'VE READ THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOMETIME. IF THE POWERS THAT BE CAN GET NISSAN TO RECALL THE GAUGE INSIDE THE FUEL TANK AND THE PIN ON THE BRAKES - THEN WHY CANNOT NISSAN BE FORCED TO CORRECT THIS MORE SERIOUS BRAKE PROBLEM BEFORE MORE ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS HAPPEN. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM PICKING MY DAUGHTER UP FORM SCHOOL. I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING FELL ON THE ROOF OF MY TRUCK. MY DAUGHTER SCREAMED MOMMY! I TURNED AROUND IN A PANIC TO SEE MY OVERHEAD CONSOLE HANGING AND IN PIECES. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO MY CRYING DAUGHTER WHO WAS SCRATCHED BY ONE OF THE PIECES THAT FELL AND BROKE BY HITTING THE MIDDLE CONSOLE. THE PLASTIC CONSOLE WAS SHATTERED AND SOME OF THE PLASTIC STILL REMAINS AROUND THE SCREWS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MORNING TO HAVE THEM REPAIR IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT FOR SURE THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE. TO MY SURPRISE THE DEALER TOLD ME IT'S NOT A RECALL ITEM AND THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT REACHED THE RECALL COMPLAINT RATIO. THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND LABOR COST OF $2,500! I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS AND TO MY SATISFACTION I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. IT'S A FACT THAT NISSAN 2008 NISSAN ARMADA AND TITAN VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS A HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING. THIS MATTER SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF ALL CONSOLES FREE OF CHARGE AND A NOTICE TO ALL OWNERS STATING (WARNING / CAUTION ADVISORY) POTENTIAL HAZARD / RISK WHILE DRIVING YOUR CONSOLE MAY FALL OR CRACK INTO PIECES WITHOUT REASON!

PURCHASE 2008 NEW ARMADA AND HAVING MANY PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASE OCTOBER2007- THE TOP CONSOLE FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING ABOUT A YEAR AGO WENT TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID IS NOT COVER WITH WARRANTY ( THIS HAPPEN WITHIN BEFORE MY 60K MILES WARRANTY) THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO PURCHASE THAT IT WAS NOT FACTORY DEFECT. A FEW WEEKS AGO THE OTHER PART OF CONSOLE FRONT DRIVER CRACK AND IS HANGING . I HAVE NO LIGHTS IN THE BACK OR FRONT. IS A SAFETY HAZARD THIS THING CAN BREAK IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING AND NISSAN IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR CHEAP PRODUCTS , I'VE BEEN SEARCHING AND SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I NEED HELP ON THIS MATTER IS NOT FAIR FOR CUSTOMER TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO CORRECT A COMPANY ISSUE.. WE ALREADY PAID ENOUGH MONEY ON THE VEHICLE. NOT ONLY THAT MY CAR HAD AN ENGINE ISSUE WHICH THEY REFUSE TO CHANGE WHEN I FIRST COMPLAINT THEY DID IT AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS AND HAVING A STATE TROOPER TAKE ME TO THE DEALER OR SAFETY HAZARD THE CAR USED TO SMOKE DARK SMOKE EVERY DAY ..GUESS NISSAN WAS AFRAID OF LAWSUIT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED. PLEASE HELP. *TR

I WAS STOPPED IN THE CARPOOL LANE AT MY SON'S SCHOOL; IN PARK. CARPOOL LANE BEGAN TO MOVE SO I PLACED MY CAR IN GEAR. SLOWLY MOVING UP AND I HEARD A NOISE. STARTLED, PLACED MY CAR BACK IN PARK. THEN NOTICED THAT MY EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON AS WELL AS MY SLIP & VDC LIGHTS. PICKED-UP MY SON AND I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL AND HEADED TO A STOP LIGHT. I FOUND THAT I LITERALLY HAD TO STAND ON MY BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. IT WAS NOT AN IMMEDIATE STOP, MORE OF A ROLLING STOP AND IT FELT AS THOUGH MY BRAKE WAS BEING PUSHED ALL THE WAY INTO THE ENGINE!!! NOT THE SAFEST OF SITUATIONS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE CAR IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE UNTIL WE CAN GET SOME AFFIRMATIVE ANSWERS. *TR

THE BRAKES WILL STOP/START/STOP/START/STOP/START....KIND OF LIKE A GRINDING...THEY STOP WORKING. THE ONLY WAY TO "SOLVE" THE ISSUE IS TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN ON AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 12 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN MARCH. OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS WELL. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I'M APPALLED THAT NISSAN WILL ACTUALLY WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES BEFORE ISSUING A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE NISSAN CORPORATE FOR MONTHS NOW AND MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP "BEING FIXED". WE WILL BE OUT WELL OVER $2,000 AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS WITH CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS PREVIOUSLY DONE (DEALERSHIP IS CLAIMING IS A "BRAKE ACTUATOR ISSUE"). WE WILL END UP SELLING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I CANNOT KEEP PUTTING MYSELF AND MY 13 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER'S LIFE AT RISK. THE THOUGHT OF SELLING IT TO ANOTHER FAMILY WITH THIS ISSUE MAKES MY HEART HURT AND I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE SURE NISSAN SEES THIS ISSUE AS LIFE-THREATENING. ONE TIME MY BRAKES WENT OUT ON ME ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE RAIN WITH MY DAUGHTER IN HER CARSEAT. SO PULLING OVER TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF, THEN ON AGAIN WAS A SECOND TIME WITHIN 5 MINUTES THAT COULD HAVE KILLED US. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE WAY FROM WORK ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 60 MILES. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT HALF WAY HOME. WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN AT THE EXIT, THE BRAKES STARTED GRINDING AND MAKING A ROUGH SOUND AND SHAKING . I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET IT TO STOP. I PARKED THE CAR ON A STREET AND TURNED IT OFF. MY HUSBAND CAME TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, BUT ONCE THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT TO DUPLICATE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES AS WELL. *TR

THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. I COULD FEEL VIBRATIONS AND HEARD GRINDING WHENEVER I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. AFTER PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WHILE WAITING FOR ASSISTANCE, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. I PULLED OFF TO TEST THE BRAKES AT THIS POINT AND THEY WORKED FINE. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2014 WHILE DRIVING AT MINIMAL SPEED, BUT ONLY THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED. AGAIN, AFTER COASTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND THE BRAKES WERE OPERATIONAL. AFTER HAVING THE BRAKING SYSTEM CHECKED I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED CODE 1179. I CALLED NISSAN'S CORPORATE NUMBER TO REPORT THE INCIDENT AND WAS OFF HANDEDLY TOLD THAT ALL 2008 NISSAN ARMADAS ARE NOT EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING INSPECTED BY THE CENTRAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN HOUSTON TEXAS, AND I WILL REPORT THE FINDINGS TO THE NORTH AMERICAN NISSAN CORPORATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. ONE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A SECOND MECHANIC ALSO INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED THE BRAKES SEIZED AND ABRUPTLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE OR THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT WHICH DID NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH SAFTY TO DEPRESS THE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO GIVE A DEFINATE DIAGNOSIS INDICATING THAT THE PART SPECIFICALLY NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INDICATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABS FAILURE AND TO HAVE THE AUTHORIZED DEALER REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V072000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,500. DYD

LAST NIGHT READY TO LEAVE AND LOAD FAMILY INTO VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND OPENS THE BACK DOOR TO LOAD A STROLLER BUT THE DOOR DID NOT OPEN. HE KEPT LOCKING IT AND UNLOCKING WITH THE CONTROL AND DOOR HINGE AND WINDOW HINGE WERE STUCK. IN ORDER TO OPEN DOOR HE HAD TO CLIMB INSIDE VEHICLE PULL THE PLASTIC CAP OF AND PULL LEVER TO MANUALLY OPEN BACK DOOR. WE CAN HEAR IT LOCK BUT IT WONT OPEN. THE LEVELS FEEL ROUGH AND STUCK WHEN YOU PULL TO TRY AND OPEN DOOR AND WINDOW. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING FELL ON THE ROOF OF MY TRUCK. MY CHILD POINTED TO THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE. IT HAD BROKEN OFF OF WHATEVER WAS SECURING IT AND IS NOW HANGING. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS. AN OVERHEAD CONSOLE THAT CAN FALL AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING IS DANGEROUS. MY CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. *TR

I HAVE 109,000+ MILES ON MY 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED MY REAR WINDOW HAD CLOUDED AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS I SAW MY RPMS REV TO OVER 4000. I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL TO PREVENT IT FROM TRYING TO MAINTAIN MY SPEED OF 70 MPH. AT THAT POINT I LOST THE DRIVE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF AN EXIT WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. ONCE STOPPED I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ENGAGE ENOUGH FOR ME TO DRIVE IT INTO A SERVICE STATION PARKING LOT; IT DID. I LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL TO THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. I FOUND FLUID ACCUMULATED IN THE FRONT SKID PAN. BEING OUT OF WARRANTY I CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST COMPANY TO DISCUSS. NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME THEY KNOW OF NO PROBLEMS NISSAN IS HAVING LIKE THIS, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, OIL COOLER, AND RADIATOR.... APPROXIMATELY $7,000.00+. THE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST I CALLED IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE AS SOON AS I MENTIONED I LOST DRIVE POWER. HE TOLD ME I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER CRACKING ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING DAMAGE THE TWO NISSAN ARMADAS HE HAD RECENTLY REPAIRED. HE TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH NISSAN BEFORE DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE NISSAN HAD TO EXTEND TRANSMISSION WARRANTIES ON SEVERAL MODELS. THEY USE THE VIN # FOR LEGIBILITY. I CONTACTED NISSAN (1-800-NISSAN 1). THEY SAID MY VIN # WASN'T IN THE PROGRAM SO IT IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THEIR OTHER VEHICLES ARE HAVING. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? OTHER PROBLEMS FROM THE BEGINNING... 4 FUEL SENDING UNITS - STILL INACCURATE, SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR BACK CAMERA SYSTEM INCLUDING REPLACING IT - STILL BLANKING OUT OR SCROLLING OUT OF CONTROL, AND ROOF CONSOLE JUST DROPPING OFF. *TR

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

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE WAY FROM WORK ON THE BELTWAY AT 65 MILES AND WHEN I SLOWED DOWN, THE BRAKES STARTED GRINDING AND MAKING A ROUGH SOUND. THE BRAKE LIGHT HAD TURNED ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF. WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK BACK UP, THE BRAKE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND THE BRAKES WERE WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT CHECKED SINCE IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT ADJUSTER MOTOR CAUGHT THE UNDER SIDE OF THE SEAT ON FIRE WHILE NO ONE TOUCHED THE SEAT ADJUSTER. FOR SOME REASON THE ADJUSTER MOTOR HEATED UP AND WHEN MY WIFE, CHILD, AND MOTHER HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE INTERSTATE DUE TO SMOKE, I WAS LUCKILY BEHIND THEM AND GOT THE FAMILY OUT OF THE CAR AND THEN LOOKED UNDER THE SEAT AND SAW 3 INCH FLAMES COMING OUT OF ONE OF THE ADJUSTER MOTORS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE MOTOR OUT FROM UNDER THE SEAT AFTER I POURED A WATER BOTTLE OVER THE MOTOR AND USED TWO PAIRS OF GLOVES TO KEEP FROM BURNING MY HANDS. FROM LOOKING AT THE ADJUSTER MOTOR AFTER PULLED FROM THE VEHICLE ONE END WAS COMPLETELY GONE AS IT MELTED AND BURNED OFF THE PLASTIC COVER. IT ALSO BURNED A COUPLE OF HOLES IN THE CARPET UNDER THE SEAT. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A MOTOR WOULD JUST CATCH ON FIRE AND AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO RANDY REED NISSAN, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THE SEAT ADJUSTER WAS STUCK IN THE "ON" POSITION. THE QUESTION I HAVE IS HOW CAN IT STICK IN THE ON POSITION WHEN WE ARE NOT TOUCHING THE SEAT ADJUSTERS. LASTLY, SINCE MY WIFE STATED SHE SMELLED A BURNT SMELL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE OFF POSITION, WHAT IF THE ADJUSTER CAUGHT FIRE WHILE IN THE GARAGE AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BURN AND CATCHING THE HOUSE ON FIRE. I SAY THIS BECAUSE THE ADJUSTOR WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HAVING THE VEHICLE ON. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY SWITCH TO KEEP SOMETHING LIKE THAT FROM HAPPENING. IT ALSO CAUSED $3,600 IN REPAIR WHICH WE HAVE NOT COMPLETED YET. *TR

THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL DOWN WITHOUT WARNING GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH. *TR

THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE OF MY VEHICLE WAS HANGING FROM THE CEILING. MY CAR WAS PARKED AS IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS AT WORK. I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD BROKEN INTO MY CAR SINCE THERE WAS BROKEN PLASTIC EVERYWHERE. THE FRONT HALF OF THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE WAS HANGING. I WAS ABLE TO DISCONNECT THE WIRES SO THAT I COULD DRIVE IT HOME. I ORDERED THE REPLACEMENT PART FROM THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND IT CAME IN A WEEK LATER. WE TIGHTENED THE BACK PART OF THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE BECAUSE AFTER LOOKING IT OVER WE NOTICED THAT IT WAS ALSO LOOSE AND CRACKING. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE BACK PART WILL ALSO BREAK OFF AND FALL. *TR

IN JULY 2013, I NOTICED THE FRONT OVERHEAD CENTER CONSOLE STARTED TO CRACK ON BOTH SIDES AT AROUND THE SAME POINTS. I DIDN'T LOOK ANYMORE INTO IT BECAUSE THE APPEARANCE WAS MINIMAL. MY CONCERN CAME ONCE I REALIZED THE CONSOLE WAS LOOSE. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN REGARDS TO THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A CONSUMER ISSUE WHICH HAD TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THE ITEM. AFTER PRICING THE REPLACEMENT PART I WAS NOT ABLE TO PURCHASE DUE TO THE COST WHICH IS ALMOST $1500 TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ENTIRE CONSOLE. SINCE THEN THE SMALL CRACKS HAVE SINCE TURNED INTO A COMPLETE CRACK STRAIGHT ACROSS THE CENTER OF THE CONSOLE. EVEN WITH THE CRACK THE CONSOLE CONTINUED TO BE LOOSE BUT WAS STILL SOMEWHAT STABLE. I WENT TO WORK AND AS I CAME OUT TO LEAVE NOTICED IT WAS HANGING BY STREWS. AFTER LOOKING INSIDE WHERE THE CONSOLE WAS BASED THE STREWS WERE STILL STREWED IN ALONG WITH THE PLASTIC FROM THE CONSOLE WHICH HAD BROKEN OFF. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I HAVE SINCE REALIZED THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS AND ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK.

AFTER GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP, MY SON NOTICED THE CEILING CENTER CONSOLE COMING LOOSE. AFTER PARKING THE CAR, THE CONSOLE FELL. LUCKILY MY SON CAUGHT IT, HAD HE NOT NOTICED IT WAS LOOSE THE CONSOLE WOULD'VE FELL IN HIS HEAD. *TR.... UPDATED 02/19/15 *BF

MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES - WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKES BEGIN TO GRIND, STUTTER, AND STOP WORKING. I HAD TO DOWNSHIFT IN ORDER TO SLOW THE VEHICLE, AND PULL OVER. THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AS THIS OCCURS. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, IT MUST BE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF FOR A FEW MOMENTS, AND THEN IT WILL GO BACK TO "NORMAL." THIS HAS ALSO OCCURRED WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY - NOT SAFE! AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. MANY OF THE ELECTRICAL PARTS ARE NOT WORKING. WE THOUGHT NISSAN WOULD BE THE BEST VEHICLE TO BUY. BUT HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT MAJOR PROBLEMS. PLEASE SEND RECALL FOR BRAKES AND AIRBAGS

I WAS APPROACHING INTERSECTION WHEN MY BRAKES FAILED AND MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE VERY BAD AND MADE VERY LOUD NOISES. I THEN NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH BOARD. I THEN PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND INSPECTED BRAKE SYSTEM. WHEN I PRECEDED TO TURN VEHICLE BACK ON I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF. THE BRAKES WERE FINE AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NOTICED THOUSANDS OF OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE AND THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION!! *TR

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE STORE, MY FAMILY AND I RETURNED TO THE ARMADA AND FOUND THE FRONT CONSOLE HAD FELL FROM CEILING OF VEHICLE.. IF YOU LOOK YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF THESE CONSOLES FALLING OUT OF THE CEILING. I DO NOT KNOW WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS A DEFECT WITH WHERE THE SCREWS GO IN TO HOLD THIS UP. THE PLASTIC JUST CRUMBLES AROUND IT. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I CHECKED THE REAR ONE TO INSPECT THE CONDITION IT IS IN. THE RIGID PLASTIC IS CRACKED AROUND THEM TOO. ANY DAY NOW I AM WAITING FOR THIS ONE TO FALL OUT AS WELL. THESE CONSOLES FALLING COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT WILL DEFINITELY HIT THE DRIVER IN THE HEAD AND CAUSE A DISTRACTION. WE WILL CHECK TO SEE IF ANY CLASS ACTION SUITS HAVE STARTED OR CAN BE STARTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR CENTER CONSOLES WERE BROKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH CENTERPIECES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,639.

FOR THE LAST YEAR MY NISSAN ARMADA 2008 HAS HAD NUMEROUS FAILING PARTS THAT ALL INCLUDE ELECTRICAL ISSUES OF SOME SORT. FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND THEN THE AC IS NOW STUCK IN MAX AC. THIEVES ISSUES ARE NOT SAFETY RELATED BUT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE HORRIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES THIS MODEL HAS. THE OTHER DAY MY WIFE WAS PICKING THE KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL WHEN SHE REALIZED THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES WERE MAKING A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE WITH NO OR LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY. SHE PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. 5 MINUTES LATER SHE TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE LIGHT AND BRAKING PROBLEM WENT AWAY. 3 DAYS LATER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. TURNED OFF CAR, RESTARTED AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. AFTER LOOKING THROUGH NUMEROUS MESSAGE BOARDS AND FORUMS, IT SEEMS THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED IN HUNDREDS OF CASES OR MORE. NISSAN HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND. IT SEEMS A FIX OR AT LEAST A FIX THAT COMES BACK IN MANY CASES IS TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND REPROGRAM THE VDC. THIS LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN RUNNING ABOUT 800 TO 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX. MANY OF THE CONSUMERS THAT REPORTED THIS PROBLEM HAVE REPORTED AFTER BEING FIXED, THE PROBLEM COMES BACK WITHIN MONTHS OR A YEAR AFTER BEING FIXED. A RECALL IS NEEDED AS THIS IS LIFE THREATENING TO FAMILIES DRIVING IN THE SUV AND ALSO TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. *TR
