2004 NISSAN CREW Complaints

HAVE 04 ARMADA AND HAD THE ROTORS TURNED AT 7000 MILES, AND JUST FOUND OUT THAT I NEED ANOTHER ROTOR AND BRAKE JOB AT 14000 MILES. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND FIRST PERSON I TALKED TO DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND SAID IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY-EVEN EXTENDED. SECOND PERSON WAS MUCH NICER BUT SAID THAT THEY STILL WON'T BE ABLE TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM FOR NOW. HAVE ALSO TAKEN TRUCK IN FOR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW RATTLE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SQUEAKING TWICE AND HAS YET TO BE FIXED. DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY CANNOT HEAR OR "FIND" A PROBLEM, I DON'T THINK THAT THEY EVEN CHECKED IT OUT. *NM

BRAKES HAVE BEEN SERVICED 6 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS AND HAVE FAILED TO STOP VEHICLE 2 TIMES. DEALERSHIPS HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THIS BRAKE PROBLEM IS OCCURING IN ABOUT 35 TO 40% OF ALL 2004 NISSAN ARMADA'S AND THAT NISSAN ENGINEERS ARE PREPARING A BRAND NEW REDESIGN OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM FOR THIS VEHICLE OVER THE NEXT 3 MONTHS. IN THE MEANTIME, THIS VEHICLE POSES A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM FOR ALL CONSUMERS THAT HAVE PURCHASED THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY REASONS. A VEHICLE THAT RUNS THE RISK OF NOT STOPPING, OR IMPARING ONES ABILITY TO STOP, SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE SITUATION IS FULLY CORRECTED AND DOCUMENTED AS CORRECTED. *AK

2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL SHUDDER UPON BRAKE APPLICATION. HAD ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED ONCE AT 10,000 MILES AND HAS RE-OCCURED AT 15,000 MILES.WAITING FOR NISSAN RECALL.*AK

I HAVE HAD MY ARMADA IN FOR BRAKE SERVICE 4 TIMES NOW .MY WIFE CAN'T WORK ON THAT DAY AND ISN'T PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR FOR A DEFECT THAT IS NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY NEEDS TO QUIT DANCING AROUND THIS ISSUE AND MANUFACTURE CORRECTLY DESIGNED BRAKE ROTORS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THEY NEED TO PROVIDE VEHICLES TO THOSE THAT NEED TO GET TO WORK .THIS IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY OR THEY ARE GOING TO LOOSE A LARGE PORTION OF THEIR CUSTOMER BASE TO TOYOTA AND OTHERS WITH PROVEN RELIABILITY. *JB

I BOUGHT MY ARMADA IN OCT 2004 AND IT WAS IN FOR REPAIRS BY NOV 2004, THE FRONT END/BRAKES WOULD VIOLENTLY VIBRATE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP, THE ROTORS ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER MAJOR COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED WHICH TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM. BY THE BEGINNING FEB 2005 MY ARMADA WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE EXACT REPAIRS WHICH AGAIN WILL TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED BY NMAC THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY ARE AWARE OF AND THEY ARE "WORKING ON A REMEDY", SO FOR THE MEAN TIME, MY ARMADA SITS IN MY GARAGE UNTIL NISSAN COME UP WITH A "REMEDY" FOR THIS PROBLEM, I HOPE THEY EXPEDITE THIS PROCESS BEFORE TRAGEDY STRIKES.*JB

1-STILL PENDING - STEERING, BRAKES, AND SHAKY NOISE IN NEW NISSAN ARMADA. -TAKEN TO DEALER, AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX BRAKES - BUT THE CONSEQUENCES ARE THE SAME - SAME PROBLEMS. 3 -PARTS REPAIRED - BUT CLUNKING SOUND STILL SOUNDS WHEN BRAKING - AND STEERING IS OFF. *AK

MY TRUCK HAS 8,000 MILES. 1ST THE MAIN COMPUTER SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND I HAD TO WAIT A WEEK TO BE REPLACED. THEN MY BRAKES STARTED SHAKING SO THEY GRINDED DOWN MY ROTORS.THEN THE BRAKES STARTED SHAKING AGAIN SO THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THEN TWO MONTHS LATER THE BRAKES WENT AGAIN SO THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS AGAIN. THEN ON A COLD DAY I WENT TO OPEN MY CAR AND THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE SO I COULDN'T CLOSE MY DOOR. THE DEALER REPLACED IT. NOW THREE WEEKS LATER THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE AGAIN AND MY REAR WINDOW WIPER STOPPED WORKING. NISSAN TELLS ME THAT THEY HAVE A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THE DOOR HANDLES.

BRAKES TOO SMALL FOR TRUCK. BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT AND ROTOR WARP EVERY APPROX. 3,000.00 MILES. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER IT WILL BE ANOTHER 6 TO 12 MONTHS BEFORE NISSAN WILL PROVIDE A REPAIR KIT TO THE DEALERS THAT WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME THE BRAKE PADS RUB AGAINST THE ROTORS, EVEN WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING USED, AND THE ROTORS WARP BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. *JB

MY FRONT WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL SHUDDER WHEN I AM BRAKING AT MEDIUM PRESSURE. *AK

I HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE ON MY NISSAN TITAN FOR THE 4TH TIME IN 10 MONTHS. EACH TIME IT GETS MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO CONVINCE THE DEALER TO ABSORB THE COSTS , EVEN THOUGH NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEGED AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THE DEALER (QUALITY NISSAN IN TMEMCULA) SEEMS UN SYMPATHETIC AND EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THE SDERVICE IS GETTING WORSE AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS COSTING ME A DAY OR MORE EACH TIME THESE BRAKES FAIL. *AK
