2006 NISSAN ARMADA Complaints

EVERY SO OFTEN THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKES SCREECH AND DON'T RESPOND WHEN STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHAT I DO IS TURN OF THE CAR AND FOR SOME REASON THIS SEEMS TO DO A RESET AND THE CAR GOES BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING AND BRAKE YOU CAN CRASH.

BRAKE KEEP GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME... BUT WHEN IT HAPPEN THE BRAKE LIGHT ON AND WHEN YOU TRY TO STEP ON THE BRAKE IT SHAKE AND GRIND... I REPORT THIS A COUPE TIME ALREADY AND STILL NOTHING HAPPEN...AND WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEP COMING ON AND WHEN I RESET IT TWO DAY LATER IT COME RIGHT BACK ON. *TR

BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR WAS NOT STOPPING. LUCK NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND MY KIDS WAS IN CAR.

OWN A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA LE. STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE BRAKE, VDC, SLIP, AND 4WD LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THOUGHT IT APPEARED BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING COLD. DROVE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS DOWN A CITY A STREET AND HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED AND THE TRUCK JOLTED A LITTLE BIT. AFTER ANOTHER BLOCK, LIGHTS WENT AWAY AND DIDN'T HAVE MORE ANY ISSUES ON THE WAY HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME, TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK, NO LIGHTS. DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND READ MANY ISSUES RELATING TO THIS. A COUPLE A DAYS LATER CHECKED THE TRUCK, ON START-UP...NO LIGHTS, THEN WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE SAME LIGHTS LIT UP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, LIGHTS WERE LIT, BRAKES ENGAGED, AND SPEEDOMETER WAS FLUCTUATING AND THEN DIDN'T MOVE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, SPEEDOMETER ACTIVATED AGAIN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PUT IN PARK. NISSAN DEALERSHIP DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THE ADVISOR INDICATED BOTH THE ECM AND ABS ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY WERE FRIED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, $3,100 TO START OUT WITH. TRUCK IS STILL AT THE SHOP, NO WORK HAS STARTED. NOTIFIED NISSAN CUSTOMER RELATIONS SINCE THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WAITING TO HEAR BACK. ALSO CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD TELL ME AND IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE. CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. BACK THE NEXT DAY AND TALKED TO ANOTHER ADVISOR, THE ADVISOR INDICATED SINCE THERE ARE SOME ARE HARD CODES (U1000, U1001) DISPLAYED WITH THE ECM AND ABS ASSEMBLY, THE SYSTEMS POTENTIALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED.

BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE CORRECTLY CAUSING MY WIFE TO REAR END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. DAMAGING BOTH VEHICLES I AM GLAD THAT HER OR MY TWO SONS WHO WERE IN THE VEHICLE AND THE OTHER PERSON WERE NOT HURT. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE BRAKE ISSUES RELATED TO THE NISSAN ARMADA AND TITAN

BRAKE ISSUES GRINDING TURN CAR OFF STOPS BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN A PROBLEM BUT GOES OF WHEN RESTARTED. SEE ATTACHED LAWSUIT.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY ARMADA I HEARD A NOISE AND FELT THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY BREAKS. I TRIED TO BRAKE AND MY BREAKS WOULDN'T RESPOND, IT ALSO SOUNDED LIKE MY BREAKS WERE HITTING METAL WITH METAL, THE BREAK LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. AFTER PUSHING THE BREAK PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES IT STOPPED HAD TO TURN ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AS I STOPPED AT A MAIN STREET. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND BACK ON MY BRAKE LIGHT TURNED OFF AND DROVE HOME THROUGH THE SMALL STREETS SINCE WAS AFRAID THAT THE BREAKS WOULDN'T WORK AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ECM RELAY AND CIRCUIT BOARD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,472.

THE BRAKE LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNS ON. WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE THERE IS A VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE NOISE IS SCARY AND THE BRAKES WORK BUT NOT AS WELL. THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE TO STOP TURN THE TRUCK OFF THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT DISAPPEARS AND STARTS WORKING AGAIN. IT'S HARD TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE IT'S RANDOM. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE, I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE A BRAKE BOOSTER BUT CAN'T TELL FOR SURE BECAUSE WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP IT'S NORMAL.

THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD DISPLAY IN THE CAR. THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHICH HAPPEN WHEN BREAKING. AFTER CAR IS TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON ITS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPEN. THIS SITUATION HAPPENS RANDOMLY.
