2006 NISSAN ARMADA Complaints

ADC SLIP LIGHT COME ON THE CAR CUT OFF AND HAVE NO POWER MOTION AND IN PARK HIGHTWAY AND STREET

THE BRAKES FAIL WHEN BRAKE SENSOR TURNS ON PERIODICALLY WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THIS IS TO TURN OFF THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN IN MANY NEAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT MANY OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT.

THIS IS MY SECOND TIME WITH BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER. THE FIRST TIME IN 2011 AND NOW IN 2018. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND GRINDING NOISE WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKE PRESSURE. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED $982. MY QUESTION IS DID THEY REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS WITH UPGRADE. IT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE THAT TO ME NISSAN IS IGNORING TILL THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT. DEALER STATES DELTA SENSOR FAULTY.

I WAS GOING DOWN EAST CHASE PARKWAY IN FORT WORTH GOING TOWARDS GREEN OAKS BLVD INTO ARLINGTON TEXAS AND MY BRAKES WENT OUT. I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND MY TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP. SO, I PULLED OVER AND CAR MY TRUCK OFF AND ON AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY. I PROCEEDED ON MY WAY AND THEY WENT OUT AGAIN AND I ALMOST REAR ENDED A 18-WHEELER WITH MY TWO BABIES IN THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY RAN UP ON A CURB TO NOT HIT THE SEMI. AND, IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A BRAKES SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BRAKE BOOSTER KIT THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE ABS SYSTEM. THAT WAS RECALLED AND SINCE I DIDN'T FIND OUT TIL LATER AND DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS TIL LATER ON I GOT SCREWED AND HAD TO PAY OVER $1300.00 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. AND, HAVE YET TO BE REIMBURSED WHICH I THINK SUCKS. *TT *TR

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. AS I'M DRIVING MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF BREAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE I'VE BEEN ON 95 WITH MY TWO KIDS IN THE CAR. I'VE HAD MY BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS ON 95 I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF STOPPING THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CANNOT STOP MY VEHICLE. I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I HOPE THIS GETS RESOLVED BECAUSE I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN VEHICLE EVER AGAIN.

ON MONDAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER, SISTER, NIECE AND NEPHEW TO SCHOOL I NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING. AT THE TIME I ASSUMED IT WAS THE SEAT BELT LIGHT SO I HAD EVERYONE CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR BELTS WERE BUCKLED. AFTER REALIZING THAT EVERYONE WAS BUCKLED I ASKED MY SISTER TO GOOGLE SEARCH WHAT THE LIGHT MEANT. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS IN THIS VEHICLE, I DROVE TO MY FATHERS HOUSE AND HE HOOKED UP HIS CODE READER AND WE FOUND TWO CODES ONE WAS B1182 AND B1023. B1182 IS FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM AND THE B1023 WAS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SAYING THAT IT IS INOPERABLE.

MY HUSBAND PURCHASED AN 06 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE HE WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY HE WENT TO SLOW DOWN AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MADE A WEIRD GRINDING NOISE. HE PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. WAS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE. AFTER HE RESTARTED IT, IT DROVE FINE. TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEMSELVES AND THEY FOUND NOTHING BUT RECOMMENDED A BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO US. AGAIN JUST RECENTLY, I WAS WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO RUN THROUGH A RED LIGHT BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP.THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON BUT THE BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED. THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AS IF I NEEDED ROTORS. I LET THE VEHICLE SLOW DOWN AND I PULLED OVER IN A SAFE AREA AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER RESTARTING IT AFTER 5 MINS THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE. I HAD MY FATHER HOOK HIS CODE READER UP AND WE CAME UP WITH A CODE C1179 WHICH IS A DELTA STROKE SENSOR. RESEARCHED THE CODE AND FOUND THAT NISSAN HAD MULTIPLE LAWSUITS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL FOR IT. I CONTACTED NISSAN THEMSELVES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE GENTLEMAN THAT I SPOKE TO AT NISSAN TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT BUILT IN A CERTAIN FACTORY THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT HIS SUGGESTION WAS THAT IF I HAD A GOOD REPOIRE WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO ME THEY MAY BE ABLE TO HELP ME WITH THE COST. THE LAWSUIT NEVER SPECIFIED A CERTAIN FACTORY THE VEHICLES CAME OUT OF. IT STATED 2004-2008 NISSAN TITAN AND ARMADA OR INFINITY QX56. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, HAS BEEN SUED NOT ONCE BUT MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS STILL REFUSING TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE.

ISSUE WITH ABS ENGAGING AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS CREATING AN INABILITY TO BRAKE. MY WIFE DROVE THROUGH A STOP SIGN WITH ALL 4 OF MY KIDS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND LUCKED OUT. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. AT A SPEED OF ONLY 4 MILES PER HOUR, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, I DROVE THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT, ONLY ACCELERATING ENOUGH TO GET TO A SIDE ROAD. WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE, THERE WAS A CRUNCHING/GRINDING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED TO MY WIFE, I REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER (HELL OF A JOB) AND I INSTALLED NEW ROTORS AND PADS ALL THE WAY AROUND AS THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS TOLD TO BE THE ISSUE AFTER NISSAN WAS SUED FOR THE PROBLEM AS IT GREW. IT STILL NEVER BECAME A TSB AND I HAVE A HALF TON DEATH TRAP IN MY DRIVEWAY.

INTERMITTENTLY, AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS CAUSES GREATLY DIMINISHED BRAKING POWER (IT FEELS LIKE A VACUUM HAS RELEASED AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP). THE ONLY WAY TO RECTIFY THIS IS TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY AND THEN RESTART IT. THIS IS OK ON CITY STREETS BUT IS VERY SCARY ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD A NISSAN DEALER LOOK AT IT MULTIPLE TIMES BUT SINCE THE CAR CHECKS OUT MECHANICALLY AND THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE SITUATION, THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS.

WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE ABS BRAKES ENGAGE AND THE CAR IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE LOOKED AT AND DIFFERENT PARTS CHANGED BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS COMING BACK. I HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED, BRAKE BOOSTER AND CLOCK SPRING CHANGED. THE VDC AND SLIP LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND THE ABS ENGAGES WHILE DRIVING. ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK THE OTHER DAY BUT I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER AROUND VEHICLES AND THEN STOP. THIS ALSO HAPPENED BACK IN 2011 WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE WE HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER CHANGED AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL NOW. THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS EVALUATED AND SCANNED AND CHECKED OUT OK. LAST TIME IT COST $1,000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT, BUT IS NOW A PROBLEM AGAIN.
