2008 NISSAN ARMADA Complaints

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND WITHIN THE FIRST 3 DAYS OF HAVING IT NOTICED WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXHAUST LEAK. I WAS ASSURED IT WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF NOT TO WORRY. FIVE MONTHS LATER IT IS STILL NOT FIXED AND THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED. NOT JUST ONE SIDE BUT BOTH SIDES. I AM SURE THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTED WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? AND WHY ISNT THERE A RECALL SEEING AS THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE. ALSO, ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS I HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT OF THE REAR HATCH OF THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO OPEN IT EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS UNLOCKED. I EVEN CRAWLED FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK TO TRY THE EMERGENCY LATCH AND NOTHING WOULD ALLOW IT TO OPEN. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH 138K MILES AND SEEMED TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION...I GUESS THE OLD SAYING "LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING"

BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, BRAKES PULSATE AND MAKE A GRINDING AND CLUNKING NOISE. THE BRAKES GRAB CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO APPLY TO MUCH BRAKE PRESSURE AT TIMES. OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T APPLY ENOUGH PRESSURE. THIS OCCURS AS THE VEHICLE IS COMING TO A STOP.

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.

FRONT OVERHEAD CONSOLE CRACKED AND FELL DANGLING BY WIRES! AFTER SECURELY TAPING IN PLACE THE CONSOLE CRACKED IN OTHER PLACES LITERALLY DISINTEGRATING. REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE SHOWING SIGNS OF MALFUNCTION AS DVD SCREEN NO LONGER STOWS INTO PLACE. THE PLASTICS AND BRACING USED FOR THESE COMPONENTS ARE TROUBLING. DEALERSHIP JUST SHRUGS.

TODAY I NOTICED A CRACK IN MY OVERHEAD CONSOLE. MY INTENTIONS WERE TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AFTER I GOT OFF FROM WORK. I WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AS I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I BEGAN TO DRIVE, THE NEXT THINK I KNOW MY ENTIRE CONSOLE FALLS NEARLY HITTING ME IN THE FACE. IT WAS A SUNNY DAY, NO SPEED BUMPS OR ABNORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS WERE INVOLVED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ACTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 189,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE BRAKES SCREECHED AND THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED; HOWEVER, THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED AND BRAKE FLUID RE-APPLIED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS COMPLETELY GONE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE BROKE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSED ALL THE TIRES TO LOCK UP. WHEN THE CABLE BROKE IT WRAPPED AROUND THE LEFT REAR AXLE CAUSING THAT TO BREAK AS WELL AS THE DIFFERENTIAL SEAL. WE NEVER USE THE E BRAKE ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS VERY ODD THAT THE CABLE WOULD JUST BREAK. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. CABLES BREAKING AND TIRES LOCKING UP COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS/ FATAL. THE ESTIMATED REPAIR QUOTE TO FIX THIS IS 2325.00

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.

BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND BRAKES STOP WORKING PROPERLY. LOUD NOISES AND CRUNCHING SOUNDS FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IF I TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART, IT FIXES ITSELF FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS OR SO. NISSAN SAYS MANY THINGS BUT REALLY DONT KNOW. ABS CONTROL MODULE $1600.00 BRAKE BOOSTER$800.00 WHICH I'VE READ DOES NOT WORK . THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED! SO DANGEROUS. I TOW A 24' TRAILER. NOT ANYMORE. I ALSO READ IN S.CAROLINA, NISSAN JUST LOST A LAW SUIT ON THIS SAME SUBJECT. NISSAN.....DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!
