2006 NISSAN ARMADA Complaints

TODAY FRIDAY MAY 01 2015 I'VE HAD THE BRAKE PROBLEM TWICE, FIRST I WAS DRIVING AROUND 20ML/HR SUDDENLY I SEE THE VDC, SLIP AND BRAKE SIGNS ON THEN I HAD TO PARK AND TURN OFF AND ON THE ENGINE FOR RESET BUT 15MIN LATER WHEN I REACHED THE WALMART PARKING LOT THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN, I MADE A VIDEO AND PICTURE. *TR

ME AND MY WIFE BOUGHT A 2006 ARMADA IN AUGUST 2014, I DID NOT REALLY DRIVE IT THAT MUCH BUT LAST MONTH MARCH 2015 IVE GOT THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS EVERYBODY, I WALL PULLING TO SAMS CLUB PARKING LOT AND SUDDENLY I LOST THE BRAKES AND I FELT A GRINDING THAT WAS SO SCARY AND THANK GOD I DIDNT HIT THAT TRUCK WAS PASSING, THEN WHEN I WAS LEAVING SAMS CLUB THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY, I WASNT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT, THEN LAST APRIL 20 2015 RIGHT ON THE RED LIGHT I GOT THE SAME PROBLEM I WAS AROUND 20MIL/HR, I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE MECHANIC, THEY SAID THIS PROBLEM NEED TO BE FIXED WITH NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANT DO ANYTHING UNFORTUNATELY, I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH CROWN NISSAN FOR FRI 24 2015 , ALL THEY DID ITS REPROGRAMMING AND IM STILL WAITING BECAUSE IM PRETTY SURE THIS WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE ACCORDING TO PEOPLE EXPERIENCE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70.

THE VEHICLE DIFFERENTIAL CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AND CAUSED A BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE SLIDE THROUGH A RED LIGHT INTO AN INTERSECTION WHERE IT WAS STRUCK IN THE SIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I CHECKED THE BRAKES AND IT HAD STOPPED. THIS WAS ONE INCIDENT OF MANY. THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES STOP WORKING AND MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT, IT WILL STOP DOING IT. THE VEHICLES BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, AND BRAKE BOOSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT STILL CONTINUES TO DO IT. THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY TO THIS OCCURRING. IT DOES THIS PERIODICALLY WITH THE SAME RESULT. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM INVOLVING NISSAN ARMADAS NATIONWIDE WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS BEING REPORTED ON THE INTERNET ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS ARE DESCRIBED THE SAME WAY. IN FACT I RECEIVED A NOTICE ON A CLASS ACTION SUITE BEING FILED AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WORK FOR NHTSA AND ATTEMPTED TO DISCUSS THIS PROBLEM WITH ODI TO NO AVAIL. I WOULD EXPECT SOME SORT OF RESPONSE WHEN ME AND THE PUBLIC MAKE COMPLAINTS THAT CAN AND WILL BE LIFE THREATENING. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS AND OR HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO BE INVOLVED IN CRASHES, INJURIES, AND/OR DEATHS BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. THE INCIDENT DESCRIBED IS ONE EVENT AMONG MANY. IT HAS ALSO OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE AT MUCH HIGHER SPEEDS. THE ONLY WAY TO CLEAR IT IS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND CRANK IT BACK UP AGAIN. THE DEALER WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THERE IS A DEFECT, INSTEAD THEY CONTINUE TO REPLACE BRAKE PARTS, AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE HOPING THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM.. *TR

'WAS DRIVING AND GETTING READY TO STOP ON A 3 WAY STOP INTERSECTION, AS SOON AS I STEP ON THE BRAKE , A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. SEEMS LIKE THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND IT'S HARD TO MAKE A FULL STOP. FORTUNATELY, 'WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH ON AND OFF, THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH DISAPPEARED AND THE GRINDING NOISE WENT AWAY.THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED (ABOUT A YEAR AGO- SAME ISSUE), I BROUGHT THE ARMADA TO MOSSY NISSAN POWAY. THEY HAVE TO RE-CODE THE ECU AND I HAVE TO PAY SOMETHING LIKE $300 FOR THE WORK DONE. NISSAN SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. NHTSA, PLEASE ORDER A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE BEFORE AN INJURY OR SOMETHING FATAL HAPPENS TO ANYONE WHO DRIVES IT. *JS

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

I HIT A DEER ON JULY 5TH 2014. MY FRONT BUMPER PUSHED IN ON MY DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. CRACKED MY GRILL. BROKE OUT A HEAD LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE. BENT THE DRIVER FENDER AND DRIVERS DOOR AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. A WEEK AND A HALF LATER MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON..... I CARRIED IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT WRECK RELATED. SPOKE WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSAN ARMADA. I NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND I CANT TAKE THE CHANCE OF TRAVELING WITH HAZARDOUS RESTRAINTS.. I CURRENTLY HAVE A REJECT STICKER AND I DO NOT FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGED THE BRAKES, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE ABS, SLIP AND VDC WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.

WAS DRIVING MY SON TO FOOTBALL PRACTICE AND WENT TO STOP AT STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKES WERE REALLY HARD TO PUSH DOWN, WAS MAKING A BAD GRINDING NOISE AND DIDN'T WANT TO STOP, LUCKILY I WAS ONLY DRIVING 35MPH. FINALLY AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TO STOP I LET OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND IT MADE A SPRINGY CLICKING NOISE LIKE THE PEDAL WAS RESETTING TO A CERTAIN SPOT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF FOR 2-3 MINUTES STARTED BACK UP AND BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND BRAKES WORKED PERFECTLY. THIS COULD HAVE GOT SOMEONE KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED....NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! *TR
