2006 NISSAN ARMADA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. DELAND NISSAN IN DELAND, FLORIDA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

BRAKE LIGHT CAME ONE AND TRIED TO STOP BUT A LOUD SOUND CAME FROM THE BRAKES LIKE A GRINDING SOUND. THE BRAKES PADS ARE GOOD BUT SOUNDS LIKE A BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEM. I COULD BARELY STOP TO AVOID WRECKING INTO SOMEONE ELSE.

MY VEHICLE WAS ACTING COMPLETELY NORMAL NO DASH LIGHTS UNTIL I WENT TO STOP AT A STOP LIGHT THATS WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP MY BREAKES WERE SOFT GRINDING NOISE AND DID NOT WANT TO STOP. I LOOK AT THE DASH AND THE BREAK LIGHT WAS ON I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD PUT IN THE PARKING BREAK AND RELEASED IT. STILL SAME ISSUE. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN BACK ON AND NOW IS WORKING COMPLETELY NORMAL AGAIN. AFTER DOING RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THE NISSAN ARMADAS AND TITANS. IT IS FOUND TO BE A FAULTY BREAK BOOSTER AND SENSOR. I HAD 2 OF MY CHILDREN WITH ME. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE NOT KNOWING IF I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE. NISSAN NEEDS THIS BOOSTER TO BE RECALLED. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT YOU MAY LOOSE YOUR BREAKS.

BRAKE FAILURE. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL OF SUDDEN NO BRAKES AND LOUD NOISES. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR A FEW YEARS AND HAVE RECEIVED NO HELP FROM NISSAN DEALER. ONCE I RESTART VEHICLE, IT WORKS LIKE NORMAL.

THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM LINKS WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND WAS ALMOST READY TO BREAK UP. IF NOT FOUND BY THE MECHANIC, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN A GRINDING/SPRINGY SOUND CAME OUT FROM UNDER AND THE :BRAKE" LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WOULD GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT WOULD NOT STOP, LUCKILY I WAS ON A FLAT ROAD SO IT DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A SAFE SPOT AND USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKES TO GET THERE. IF I WERE GOING AT A HIGH SPEED, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. YOU CAN REPLACE A CAR, BUT YOU CAN'T REPLACE A PERSON. I HAVE AN 8 MONTH OLD BABY WHO NEEDS ME. MY BROTHER IN LAW IS A MECHANIC FOR ALL TYPES OF CARS AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS, HE TOLD ME THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ARMADAS (04-07). MINE IS AN 06. AT THIS POINT I HAVE TO KEEP TURNING OFF MY CAR AND BACK ON TO RESTART SOME COMPUTER? I AM NOT GOOD WITH CARS. IF THIS HAPPENS AT A HIGH SPEED AND I CAN'T STOP BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE IT IS ON YOUR HANDS.YOU KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, YET DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS ARMADA IS A DEATHTRAP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY BROTHER IN LAW SUSPECTS IT IS THE ABS,VDC,BRAKE MALFUNCTION. I WAS SPEAKING TO SOMEONE ELSE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THEY SAID THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON THEIR, AND ONCE WHEN A LIGHT TURN RED AND HE TRIED TO STOP HE COULDN'T AND ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE?

SUNROOF EXPLODED IN CARWASH. EXPLOSION WAS SO VIOLENT IT BENT THE FRAMING AROUND SUNROOF. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DRYING PORTION OF THE CARWASH. THE CARWASH HAS INCIDENT ON VIDEOTAPE BUT HAS NOT ALLOWED ME TO VIEW IT AS OF THIS CORRESPONDENCE. THE SUNROOF HAD NO DAMAGE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. TEMP OUTSIDE WAS APPROX 25 DEGREES AND THE HEATER WAS ON INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHICH MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE INCIDENT.

BRAKES GOING IN AND OUT WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. MECHANIC SAYS DELTA S SENSOR CODE CAME UP AND THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. ALSO SAID TO REPORT IT SINCE IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE BOUNCING ON THE ROTORS AND BARLEY STOPPING THE CAR. WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN FEELS LIKE CAR IS STILL TRYING TO GO FORWARD WHILE BRAKES ARE BOUNCING ON THE ROTORS.

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY BRAKE LIGHT THAT KEEPS COMING ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES MY TRUCK JERKS BADLY, MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, MY BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES WHILE STOPPING. I WAS TOLD I NEED MY BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED WHICH WAS DONE AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THE CODE C1179 IS THE ISSUES. THE CODE IS NISSAN - DELTA STROKE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING WHICH ONLY NISSAN CAN FIX THE PROBLEM (AND THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUES AS WELL). WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR NISSAN TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE THAT IS GOING ON WITH SEVERAL TRUCKS. I DON'T LIKE THE FEELING OF DRIVING AND CANNOT STOP OR FEEL AS IF I AM GOING TO HIT SOMEONE I HAVE CHILDREN AND I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH THEM OR ANYONE ELSE WITHIN THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IF THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS CODE C1179 WHY IS NISSAN NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ISSUES AND COST? I HAVE FIXED EVERYTHING THAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE AND NOW I HAVE TO HAVE MY TRUCK REPROGRAMMED WHICH IS COSTING ME MORE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN 8 MONTHS AND IT IS NOW 11/2017.

THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.
