TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM RESET TO NORMAL WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF FOR A MOMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD AN ENGINEER TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE, WHO WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUSTED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, SERVICED THE ROTORS AND BLED THE BRAKES BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

AS I AM DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA, MY BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON MY DASHBOARD AND I LOOSE BRAKING POWER. CLUNKING/SPRINGING NOISES SIMULTANEOUSLY BEGIN. IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND ON, THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS. THERE IS NO COMMON FACTOR AS TO WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE WAS REPROGRAMMED - A REPAIR NISSAN INDICATED WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. YET, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR AND NISSAN IS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM TO DATE. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS QUITE COMMON FOR OWNERS OF 2006 NISSAN ARMADAS, GIVE OR TAKE A FEW YEARS. *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 BOUGHT THIS 2006 NISSAN ARMADA BRAND NEW. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY. THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON AND A GRIDING NOISE COMES OUT WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID IT SOFWARE ISSUE WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE AND IT WORKED FOR COUPLE OF YEARS THEN AGAIN AND AGAIN, I SPEND ABOUT $160 EACH TIME TO CORRECT THE SOFTWARE NOW. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT NEEDS SOME PARTS AND SOFTWHERE UPGRADE ABOUT $750, SO I PARKED THE CAR AND I'M LOOKING FOR OTHER ALTERNATIVES. ANY ONE KNOW OF A RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. *JS

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

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND I GO TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND MY BRAKES MADE SHUTTERING AND CLANGING NOISES. THEN I NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO STOP I HEARD THAT NOISE AND HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING I ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS ABOUT 20 MILES FROM THE DEALER SO I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHT ON AND DROVE ON THE FAR LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE BETWEEN 10 TO 30 MILES/HR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC UNTIL I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE I GOT TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM. HE SEEMED TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE HE HAD EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER CALLED ME TO EXPLAIN THAT THE DELTA SENSOR INSIDE THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED AND IT WOULD COST ME OVER $900.00. *JS
