2006 NISSAN ARMADA Complaints

BRAKING SYSTEM DOESNT WORK PROPERLY AT TIMES. BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH LIGHTS UP AND BRAKES PULSATE LIKE IT WOULD IF YOU ARE TRYING TO STOP ON ICE. AFTER RESTART VEHICLE IT WILL BE OK UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK. I WAS INFORMED THIS IS DUE TO A BAD CLOCK SPRING. AMONG THE SYSTEMS THAT DO NOT WORK (RADIO CONTROLS, CRUISE CONTROL) THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING (LIGHTS ON). I WONDER WHY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS WHEN ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SECURITY FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT WORKING.

THE LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAG IS ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE ALSO IF MY CAR HAS RECALLS WHY HAVENT I GOT ANY NOTICE YET ON THESE THINGS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AND AN UNKNOWN CLICKING SOUND WAS HEARD. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PLACED IN THE DRIVE POSITION, BUT THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE RESTARTED IN ORDER FOR THE FAILURE TO CEASE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

WE PURCHASED OUR CAR USED WITH 53,000 MILES ON IT. UPON REACHING 60,000 MILES WE HEARD SOME KNOCKING AND PERIODICALLY SMELLED EXHAUST IN THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THAT BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND NEEDED REPLACED. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT NISSAN DID EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE ON SOME 2006 ARMADAS TO 80,000 MILES, HOWEVER THE TIME PERIOD HAD BEEN TOO LONG FOR OUR CAR TO BE COVERED. I CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD HELP US WITH, AND WERE NOT EVEN WILLING TO TELL ME IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL ONLINE, AND IT APPEARS THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH ISSUES YET FOR NISSAN TO TAKE ANY REALLY RESPONSIBILITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ACTIVATE THE HORN, IT FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

NHTSA SERVICE BULLETIN #NTB-08-055-A / #10025522 WAS REVIEWED IN ACCORDANCE WITH COMPLAINT NHTSA ID NUMBER(S): 10806285,10781329 AND10745373. MY NISSAN ARMADA'S EDR INDICATED AN AIR BAG ISSUE THAT PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED AS INDICATED ON THE ATTACHED INVOICE BY MODERN NISSAN. ANOTHER AIR BAG ISSUE IS BEING SEEN SINCE THE NOVEMBER 2010 COLLISION. EMAIL CONFIRMATION BETWEEN GEICO, MODERN NISSAN AND MYSELF: FROM: JIM PURVIS [MAILTO:[email protected]] SENT: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2015 11:10 AM TO: NICOLE ABRAMS-KELLY CC: PRATHER, MICHAEL SUBJECT: RE: NISSAN VEHICLE DAMAGE ADJUSTMENT - 2015 REVIEW GOOD MORNING, I HAVE REVIEWED THE ATTACHMENTS AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CLOCK SPRING (AKA SPIRAL CABLE) AND THE RECALL LETTER FOR THE ECM RELAY HAVE IN COMMON. WE HAVE QUOTED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLOCK SPRING AND THE ESTIMATE OF $580 IS ATTACHED, WHICH WILL NEED TO BE APPROVED BY THE RESPONSIBLE PAYING PARTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ORIGINAL COMPLAINTS FILED JULY 31ST AND OCTOBER 22, 2015, RESPECTIVELY. A RESPONSE HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY REGARDING THEIR DECISION OF SUPPLEMENTAL REPAIRS, ODI #10745373 AND #10781329, AS IT RELATES TO THE VEHICLE SAFETY DETERMINATION AFTER THE COLLISION LOSS IN NOVEMBER 2010. I FORWARDED THE DMV-349 AND ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS BY MAIL TO THE NHTSA ADDRESS PROVIDED PREVIOUSLY.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD BEEN FLASHING WHEN TURNED ON AND WHEN DRIVING. FIRST VISIT TO NISSAN I WAS TOLD IT WAS A SENOR IN THE BUCKLE MECHANISM. ON THE SECOND VISIT WAS TOLD IT WAS AN AIRBAG ELECTRICAL ISSUE.
