2006 NISSAN ARMADA Service Brakes Problems

Earlier in the year the brake light (some times with slip and ABS) came on the dash and suddenly braking was diminished. There was a horrid grinding sound plus vibration under the pedal. I was on highway 17 (a dangerous mountain freeway in CA) going downhill and it was extremely scary as has a car full of friends kids and hardly any brakes. I braked as much as it would allow, down shifted and pulled to the side (which again if you google that highway people die all the time from idiot drivers/speeders/tight corners). I instinctively turned off the car and got out to check off something had gotten caught in my wheel but nothing. I turned the car on and the problem had gone so drove to the nearest garage but he couldn't find anything wrong. I called Nissan but they said they knew of no problems with breaking systems on the Armada and said to bring it in and pay for an expensive diagnosis. When I got home I googled it and found 100s of similar experiences with all sorts of repairs at Nissan that hadn't worked. Some say brake booster, others sensor, other reset or upgrade hardware. Not one actually fix so far but I did find a couple of lawsuits for the same reason so don't understand how this is not a recall. The second time I was in town so it wasn't too bad but hard to stop at the crossing for a pedestrian and today it went again going back up the mountain but luckily don't need to brake much going in that direction. If it can't be fixed and it involves brakes then surely this is a serious safety violation. I also noticed that others are having a similar problem with newer Armadas with a newly upgraded braking system from Nissan and another lawsuit is on file. How is this being ignored? My car is 20 and I was looking into another Nissan but if they don't stand by and honor their mistakes then I really have no faith in them

Once in awhile when the brakes are applied there is a loud sound that sounds like ache large can being crushed, and the brakes don't work properly. The car sort of lurches to a stop rather than coming to a smooth stop. If the engine is shut off and turned back on nine times out of 10 the brakes will begin to work again but occasionally it takes a few times of restarting the vehicle. I contacted Nissan and they said that they would contact me back and they had a lawyer call me who really just wanted to interrogate me more than offer any kind of solutions or answers. I was able to look up online and see that there is or was a class action lawsuit and that it's a known problem with many Nissan armadas being the master solenoid. This seems to be a continuing safety issue and if someone were to have to come to a quick stop there's no warning that this is going to happen beforehand and would negate any kind of safety stop. This has been going on for many years and is extremely expensive to fix. Which puts it right out for most families to be able to afford fixing this and just having to lope along hoping that it isn't one of those times when the brakes are going to give out in an emergency. Given that Nissan contacted me with a lawyer shows me that they are afraid of what could happen but not yet concerned enough that enough people have died for it to be worth their while cost-wise.

Brakes. Went out with no warning For second time

While driving the brake light came on and when I attempted to stop pedal goes almost to the floor and loud grinding noise is heard. I was able to barely stop the vehicle, I then shut off the vehicle, checked around the vehicle as well as engine compartment not finding any noticeable issue. Restarted the vehicle and brake light was off able to stop with no issue and no grinding noise was heard. Mentioned this to dealer when it was brought in for oil change and they indicated that there was no notice of a recall for this issue. They checked the vehicle and could not find any issues. This has happened several more times where brake light goes on, issue with trying to stop and loud grinding noise. The remedy seems to be to get the vehicle stopped, barely, shut off the vehicle, wait for a short moment and then restart the vehicle. This is very concerning if this happens when needing to make an immediate stop as it takes a bit to get the vehicle to stop when this occurs. Nothing in particular is being done while driving to cause this to happen and I have not been able to replicate.

Several times when driving, my brake light will come on and when pressing the brake, it does not engage. When you press on the pedal you hear a loud grinding sound. It does not slow down the vehicle at all and the grinding is loud and seems to be damaging internal parts. When you turn the engine off, and restart it the problem goes away. I have read so many similar issues with 2006 nissan armada about the brake light. How is this not a safety recall especially when I’m on the freeway driving 65 MPH and all of a sudden brake light comes on! I have to pull over safely and hard to do especially when the brake does not engage at all when the light is on. This is a huge safety concern for me due to the fact that I never know when this is going to happen again. What if it happens while I need to come to a quick emergency stop?! This is a major safety concern that needs to be looked into!!

I was driving on the road and my brake light came on and my brakes failed. As I tried to stop my brakes made a grinding spring noise. I turned the car off and after about 3 minutes I restarted and everything was fine. I continue to drive and less than 10 minutes later it did it again. I have went online to look for information and I see that there was a lawsuit about the booster Delta sensor. I called Nissan and they denied this, and I went to the Nissan dealership and they will check it out because they have not seen any recalls on my vehicle for this problem yet online there's a whole lot of customer complaints about this model doing the exact same thing. Here is the Case# 46966578 Nissan gave me to document the call. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.carcomplaints.com/news/2014/nissan-delta-stroke-sensor-brake-lawsuit.shtml&ved=2ahUKEwiW_sjo1rn5AhXiIEQIHVLABjMQFnoECBsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2DxxR2-Vd0tjpN2-V2JVBq

The airbag light has been on for a while indicating that there is a defect in the airbags . The brakes light comes on randomly and the car brakes on its own without me applying the brakes and that is very dangerous especially on the highway and the transmission light comes on showing the 4x4 light as on for no reason and I would have it on just the 2 wheels

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Armada. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the brakes warning light illuminated. The brake pedal was depressed and made an abnormal metal-on-metal sound. The contact slowed down, veered to the side of the road, and restarted the vehicle however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic retrieved a delta stroke error code however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 230,815.

Mileage: 230,815

I WAS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED AND STEP ON THE BRAKES AND HEAR A TERRIBLE GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES IN ADDITION TO A SPRING LIKE SOUND AND A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN BRAKING POWER. THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS CONTINUES UNTIL I PULL OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN START IT BACK UP AND THE BRAKES WORK FINE. THE NEXT DAY, WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY...BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, LITTLE OR NO BRAKING POWER AND A SHUDDER IN THE BREAKS. AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AS I PULL UP TO THE DRIVEWAY TO PARK MY ARMADA. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I REALLY HOPE THAT NISSAN WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE.

THIS IS MY SECOND TIME WITH BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER. THE FIRST TIME IN 2011 AND NOW IN 2018. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND GRINDING NOISE WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKE PRESSURE. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED $982. MY QUESTION IS DID THEY REPLACE DEFECTIVE PARTS WITH UPGRADE. IT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE THAT TO ME NISSAN IS IGNORING TILL THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT. DEALER STATES DELTA SENSOR FAULTY.

I WAS GOING DOWN EAST CHASE PARKWAY IN FORT WORTH GOING TOWARDS GREEN OAKS BLVD INTO ARLINGTON TEXAS AND MY BRAKES WENT OUT. I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND MY TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP. SO, I PULLED OVER AND CAR MY TRUCK OFF AND ON AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY. I PROCEEDED ON MY WAY AND THEY WENT OUT AGAIN AND I ALMOST REAR ENDED A 18-WHEELER WITH MY TWO BABIES IN THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY RAN UP ON A CURB TO NOT HIT THE SEMI. AND, IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A BRAKES SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BRAKE BOOSTER KIT THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE ABS SYSTEM. THAT WAS RECALLED AND SINCE I DIDN'T FIND OUT TIL LATER AND DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS TIL LATER ON I GOT SCREWED AND HAD TO PAY OVER $1300.00 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. AND, HAVE YET TO BE REIMBURSED WHICH I THINK SUCKS. *TT *TR

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. AS I'M DRIVING MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF BREAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE I'VE BEEN ON 95 WITH MY TWO KIDS IN THE CAR. I'VE HAD MY BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS ON 95 I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF STOPPING THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CANNOT STOP MY VEHICLE. I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I HOPE THIS GETS RESOLVED BECAUSE I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN VEHICLE EVER AGAIN.

MY HUSBAND PURCHASED AN 06 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE HE WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY HE WENT TO SLOW DOWN AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MADE A WEIRD GRINDING NOISE. HE PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. WAS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE. AFTER HE RESTARTED IT, IT DROVE FINE. TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEMSELVES AND THEY FOUND NOTHING BUT RECOMMENDED A BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO US. AGAIN JUST RECENTLY, I WAS WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO RUN THROUGH A RED LIGHT BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP.THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON BUT THE BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED. THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AS IF I NEEDED ROTORS. I LET THE VEHICLE SLOW DOWN AND I PULLED OVER IN A SAFE AREA AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER RESTARTING IT AFTER 5 MINS THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE. I HAD MY FATHER HOOK HIS CODE READER UP AND WE CAME UP WITH A CODE C1179 WHICH IS A DELTA STROKE SENSOR. RESEARCHED THE CODE AND FOUND THAT NISSAN HAD MULTIPLE LAWSUITS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL FOR IT. I CONTACTED NISSAN THEMSELVES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE GENTLEMAN THAT I SPOKE TO AT NISSAN TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT BUILT IN A CERTAIN FACTORY THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT HIS SUGGESTION WAS THAT IF I HAD A GOOD REPOIRE WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO ME THEY MAY BE ABLE TO HELP ME WITH THE COST. THE LAWSUIT NEVER SPECIFIED A CERTAIN FACTORY THE VEHICLES CAME OUT OF. IT STATED 2004-2008 NISSAN TITAN AND ARMADA OR INFINITY QX56. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, HAS BEEN SUED NOT ONCE BUT MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS STILL REFUSING TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE.

ISSUE WITH ABS ENGAGING AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS CREATING AN INABILITY TO BRAKE. MY WIFE DROVE THROUGH A STOP SIGN WITH ALL 4 OF MY KIDS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND LUCKED OUT. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. AT A SPEED OF ONLY 4 MILES PER HOUR, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, I DROVE THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT, ONLY ACCELERATING ENOUGH TO GET TO A SIDE ROAD. WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE, THERE WAS A CRUNCHING/GRINDING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED TO MY WIFE, I REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER (HELL OF A JOB) AND I INSTALLED NEW ROTORS AND PADS ALL THE WAY AROUND AS THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS TOLD TO BE THE ISSUE AFTER NISSAN WAS SUED FOR THE PROBLEM AS IT GREW. IT STILL NEVER BECAME A TSB AND I HAVE A HALF TON DEATH TRAP IN MY DRIVEWAY.

Mileage: 153,000

INTERMITTENTLY, AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS CAUSES GREATLY DIMINISHED BRAKING POWER (IT FEELS LIKE A VACUUM HAS RELEASED AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP). THE ONLY WAY TO RECTIFY THIS IS TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY AND THEN RESTART IT. THIS IS OK ON CITY STREETS BUT IS VERY SCARY ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD A NISSAN DEALER LOOK AT IT MULTIPLE TIMES BUT SINCE THE CAR CHECKS OUT MECHANICALLY AND THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE SITUATION, THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS.

Mileage: 189,000

WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE ABS BRAKES ENGAGE AND THE CAR IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE LOOKED AT AND DIFFERENT PARTS CHANGED BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS COMING BACK. I HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED, BRAKE BOOSTER AND CLOCK SPRING CHANGED. THE VDC AND SLIP LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND THE ABS ENGAGES WHILE DRIVING. ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK THE OTHER DAY BUT I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER AROUND VEHICLES AND THEN STOP. THIS ALSO HAPPENED BACK IN 2011 WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE WE HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER CHANGED AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL NOW. THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS EVALUATED AND SCANNED AND CHECKED OUT OK. LAST TIME IT COST $1,000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT, BUT IS NOW A PROBLEM AGAIN.

Mileage: 144,000

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

ON THE DATE OF JULY 12, 2017 I WAS ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. TRAFFIC WAS MODERATE. AS I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE I NOTICED IT MADE SPRINGY GRINDING SOUND, AND THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION AS WELL. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE RED BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR WAS ON. IN A SAFE AND DESPERATE MANNER, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO SHOULDER AND PUT MY VEHICLE ON PARK. AFTER I PLACED MY VEHICLE ON PARK, I TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED OFF, THEN I TURNED IT BACK ON. ONCE I TURNED IT BACK ON, I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON AND THE BRAKES WERE WORKING FINE. ON JULY 13, 2017, WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS TO DISNEYLAND, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME INCIDENT AGAIN. AS I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD SPRINGY GRINDING SOUND. IN ADDITION THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION AS WELL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. THIS TIME I WAS NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SHOULDER DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC.

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.

WHILE DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN THE BREAK LIGHTS COME ON AND YOU CAN HEAR A GRINDING SOUND AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO PULSE. THE ONLY WAY TO QUICKLY FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO RESTART THE CAR.

HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIANS DRIVE THE VEHICLE AROUND THE LOT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND SAY THEY DO NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BREAKS. THIS ISSUE HAS A POTENTIAL TO GENERATE FETAL OUTCOMES.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT SLOW NORMAL SPEED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR NO BRAKING AVAILABLE WITH KIDS IN MY CAR THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ARMADA BRAKE DEBOOSTER VALVE EQUIPPED WITH DELTA SENSOR . SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. DURING THIS NO BRAKING THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND SLIP WARNING AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THIS IS BY SAFELY PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE IGNITION OFF WHICH THEN MIGHT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY EXACTLY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THEY GOT THE CODE C1179 WHICH CLEARLY OUTLINES A BAD DELTA SENSOR WITHIN THE BRAKE DEBOOSTER VALVE . I BELIEVE NISSAN HAS KNOW THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT YET MADE A RECALL O THIS ISSUE WILL LIKE THE TRANSPORT SAFETY BOARD LOOK INTO THIS ELECTRICAL, SOFTWARE , MECHANICAL PROBLEM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE WHEREBY INNOCENT LIVES COULD BE LOST . THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL . THE DEALERSHIP ALSO WANTS TO CHARGE FOR THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE AND YET SAID THIS MIGHT NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEN THE BRAKE DEBOOSTER VALVE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED , I AM SHOCKED TO KNOW THAT THEY KNOW IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BUT YET TEND TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM FRUSTRATED CONSUMER .

I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. HOWEVER, UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST YEAR, AND I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I ALSO KNOW THAT IF I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, AND RESTART IT THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE, "CODE-WISE." EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, I HAVE BEEN SLOWING DOWN EITHER, ON THE INTERSTATE, OR EXITING IT, GOING AT LEAST 60MPH. I HAVE 6 CHILDREN, AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. THEY HAVE BEEN WITH ME 2 OUT OF THE 3 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. HAD I NEEDED TO MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE TURNOUT MIGHT HAVE YIELDED IN INJURY, OR WORSE, FOR MULTIPLE PEOPLE. I HAVE NEW BRAKES AND ROTARS, MY BRAKE LINES HAVE NO LEAKS, AND IT HAS BEEN SERVICED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WITH A FULL DIAGNOSTIC CHECK UP. THEY FIXED OLDER RECALLS AND CHANGED MY BELTS. THERE ARE CLEARLY ENOUGH PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT YEAR MODEL, AT DIFFERENT MILAGES, IN AND OUT OF WARRANTY, TO WARRANT THIS AS A DEFECT.

AFTER THE INCIDENT, I CHECKED THE BRAKES AND IT HAD STOPPED. THIS WAS ONE INCIDENT OF MANY. THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES STOP WORKING AND MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT, IT WILL STOP DOING IT. THE VEHICLES BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, AND BRAKE BOOSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT STILL CONTINUES TO DO IT.

I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM INVOLVING NISSAN ARMADAS NATIONWIDE WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS BEING REPORTED ON THE INTERNET ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS ARE DESCRIBED THE SAME WAY. IN FACT I RECEIVED A NOTICE ON A CLASS ACTION SUITE BEING FILED AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WORK FOR NHTSA AND ATTEMPTED TO DISCUSS THIS PROBLEM WITH ODI TO NO AVAIL. I WOULD EXPECT SOME SORT OF RESPONSE WHEN ME AND THE PUBLIC MAKE COMPLAINTS THAT CAN AND WILL BE LIFE THREATENING. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS AND OR HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO BE INVOLVED IN CRASHES, INJURIES, AND/OR DEATHS BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. THE INCIDENT DESCRIBED IS ONE EVENT AMONG MANY. IT HAS ALSO OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE AT MUCH HIGHER SPEEDS. THE ONLY WAY TO CLEAR IT IS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND CRANK IT BACK UP AGAIN. THE DEALER WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THERE IS A DEFECT, INSTEAD THEY CONTINUE TO REPLACE BRAKE PARTS, AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE HOPING THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM.. *TR

BRAKE INDICATOR ON DASH LIGHTS UP, HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE AND CAR HAS VERY LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. HAD TO PULL OVER AND LET CAR SLOWLY COAST TO A STOP. SWITCHED OFF ENGINE SET FOR A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED AND VEHICLE WAS BACK TO NORMAL. MULTIPLE TIMES. TOOK IN TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD COULD POSSIBLY BE A BRAKE BOOSTER AT A COST OF ABOUT 1000.00 .( 1000 DOLLAR GUESS FOR A POSSIBLE LIFE THREATENING ISSUE ???) LOOKED IN FORUM AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING QUITE A BIT BUT NISSAN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY DO RECALL. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR MONTHS . CAN'T RISK HAVING FAMILY IN CAR AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP AT ANYTIME. *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, DRIVING ALONG AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD AND WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME FOR THE CAR TO STOP. IF YOU GET THE CAR STOPPED AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON IT WILL RESET ITSELF BACK TO NORMAL UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAY "WELL ITS NOT HAPPENING TO THE CAR RIGHT NOW SO WE CANT DIAGNOSE IT" NISSAN SHOULD BE RECALLING THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. IF YOU GOOGLE SEARCH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SAYING THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY BRAKES ARE NOT A RECALL, THEY ARE PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART TO A CAR NEXT TO THE MOTOR AND NISSAN IS JUST LETTING PEOPLE FLY AROUND AND NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. SHAME ON YOU NISSAN. *TR

DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY IN OUR 2006 NISSAN ARAMADA AT THE SPEED OF 40 M.P.H AND THE BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AND TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT DOWN AND THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED GRINDING AND A STICKILY NOISE AND TOTAL BRAKE LOSS. FELT SCARED AND NERVOUS BECAUSE HAD THE WHOLE FAMILY. CONTACTED LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO VERIFY ANY RECALL DUE TO BRAKES AND NOTICED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE NET IN REGARDS TO THE NISSAN ARMADA BRAKE ISSUE. *JS

ON MARCH 18, 2014 THE BRAKE PETAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN APPLIED AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS COMES ON DASH. VEHICLE MAKES VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISES WHEN BRAKES PETAL ARE APPLIED. I HAVE VIRTUALLY NO BRAKES WHEN THIS OCCURS. I PULLED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP. HOWEVER I AFTER THE SHUT OFF ENGINE AND RESTART THE MYSTERIOUSLY GOES AWAY. ON THE APRIL 14, 2014 THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REOCCURS AND AGAIN I APPLIED THE SAME REMEDY BY SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND PROBLEM MYSTERIOUSLY GOES AWAY. I'M AFRAID THAT WILL BE ONGOING PROBLEM AND OTHER 2005 & 2006 NISSAN ARMADA HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. ON APRIL 15, 2014 I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION BACK DECOMIER NISSAN (MANCHESTER CT) I WAS CHARGED TO RESET THE COMPUTER $124.16. THE DEALER COULD FIND PROBLEM DUE TO NO CODES AVAILABLE I'M NOT SURE THAT THIS WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IF THIS DOESN'T SOLVE IT THE NEXT SET OF DIAGNOSTICS A PIN TEST WILL COST ME $440. I EXPLAINED TO THEM MY FINDINGS ON THE INTERNET AND THAT A LOT OF 2005 & 2006 ARMADA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS INCIDENT THEY DID NOT OFFER MUCH IN THE WAY OF A EXPLANATION. THIS IS A VERY SCARY AND UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION TO BE IN AND THANK GOD NO VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN WAS IN FRONT OF ME. THE NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY!!!

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES. MY BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN YOU WILL BEGIN TO HEAR A GRINDING NOISE AND WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE BRAKES GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON. IT SEEMS AS IF THE SYSTEMS RESETS AND THEN IT WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. THEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OR MONTHS IT WILL START DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO CHECK THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS HAPPENING TO MUCH. IN ADDITION, TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT CUSTOMERS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND STARTED TO SLOW TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A SCHOOL ZONE WHEN MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND HEARD A GRINDING SOUND. MY BRAKES WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST AND MY TURN WAS UP HILL. AFTER STOPPING, I TESTED THE BRAKES AGAIN, BUT THEY STILL WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND THERE WAS STILL A STRANGE GRINDING SOUND WHILE PRESSING ON THE BRAKES. I DROPPED MY SON OFF AT SCHOOL AND PARKED THE VEHICLE UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME. I HAVE HAD TWO BRAKE DIAGNOSTICS DONE BY TWO DIFFERENT SERVICE STATIONS AND NOTHING CAN BE FOUND. WHICH ONCE THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME OFF IT STARTED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. APPARENTLY, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO QUITE A FEW OTHER ARMADA OWNERS AND YET THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. THE PROBLEM OCCURS OUT OF NO WHERE AND CAN NOT BE PREDETERMINED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. *TR

WE WERE ON I75 RUSH HOUR , WE HAD BEEN STOPPING AND GOING FOR ABOUT 5 MIN AT THAT POINT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE PRESSED THE BRAKE IT SOUNDED LIKE GRINDING AND SQUEALING, WITH VERY LITTLE BREAKING CONTROL. WE DIDN'T THINK WE WERE GOING TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT... NOT ... NOW WE HAVE BEEN STUCK PAYING FOR A VEHICLE WE CAN'T DRIVE OR SELL. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS. WHY NO RECALLS ? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN OR GET HURT UNTIL NISSAN STEPS UP TO THE PLATE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, WENT TO APPLY BRAKES TO STOP, VEHICLE SHUTTERED AND IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WERE ENGAGING. BUT THE ROADS WERE NOT SLIPPERY OR WET, NO SNOW OR ICE ON ROADS. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE BRAKES WERE NOT GONNA STOP THE VEHICLE IN TIME, SWERVED OVER HIT THE CURB TO AVOID ACCIDENT. HAD VEHICLE TOWED, VDC. ANTI SLIP & BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED AT THIS TIME. PAID TOW BILL, PAID DEALER TO: REPLACE BRAKE BOOSTER, WHEEL SENSORS, BRAKE PADS, ROTORS AND TWO TIMES FOR LABOR RATE TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE ISSUE. AFTER DEALER FAILED TO ADMIT THERE WAS AN ISSUE, BUT CONTINUED TO JUST REPLACE PARTS. I FINALLY CARRIED IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, HE EXPLAINED NISSAN HAS AN ISSUE THAT THEY ARE NOT RECALLING. THE ONLY TEMPORARY RESOLUTION IS TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY WHEN IT APPEARS. SADLY, I FEEL NISSAN HAS PROFITED FROM THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS RELYING ON THE DEALERSHIPS KNOWLEDGE THAT HAS NOT BEEN INFORMED BY NISSAN MFG. OF HOW TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE A RECALL IS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY!!!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING THEN WHEN I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES THEIR WAS THIS GRINDING SPRING LIKE NOISE AND THE ABS LIGHT WAS ON. THIS IS AN ONGOING RECURRENCE. I WILL SIMPLY PULL OVER OR PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON THUS THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. I HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE A WEEK BY THE TIME THIS HAPPEN. *TR

ON APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 24, 2013 I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET HEADING TO THE STORE. WHEN APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON AND I HAD SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING POWER, WITH A GRINDING NOISE, LOOSE BRAKING MOTION. THE BRAKE PEDAL ACTUALLY WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR PANEL. I WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH I HAD APPROXIMATELY 70-80% REDUCED BRAKING POWER. IMAGINE HOW SCARY IT WAS TO TRY AND STOP A 6,000LBS VEHICLE WITH ONLY 20% OF YOUR NORMAL BRAKING POWER. I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND PROBLEM WAS GONE WHEN I RESTARTED. I TOOK IT IN TO MY MECHANIC, WHO ATTEMPTED TO SEE THE PROBLEM FOR HIMSELF. HOWEVER, IT DID NOT REPEAT THE SAME SYMPTOMS. THEREFORE, HE COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. A FEW DAYS LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WENT IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MY MECHANIC SO THAT HE COULD SEE THE PROBLEM FOR HIMSELF. UNFORTUNATELY, HE WASN'T IN BUT ONE OF HIS EMPLOYEES TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE. SINCE I DIDN'T TURN OFF THE VEHICLE THIS TIME, HE WAS ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE TROUBLE I WAS HAVING. I RETURNED TO MY MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND HE ADVISED ME THAT I SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN TO FIND OUT IF IT'S A RECALL ITEM SINCE HIS RESEARCH SHOWED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I HAVE ALREADY SENT INQUIRIES THROUGH THE NISSAN WEBSITE. HOWEVER, NO RESPONSE HAS BEEN GIVEN. I HAVE HAD RE-OCCURRENCES ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THE FREQUENCY HAS BEEN INCREASING. AS A MATTER OF FACT, AS OF RECENTLY, NOW ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD GO ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THEN I LOSE BRAKING POWER. I USE MY VEHICLE FOR WORK. THIS COULD BECOME A REAL ISSUE. ESPECIALLY IF IT RESULTS IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE. WHY IS NISSAN NOT OWNING UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES? *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY NISSAN ARMADA SINCE 2006. THIS PAST WEEK AS I WAS DRIVING AROUND TOWN AT 30 MPH OR SO, I BRAKE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES MADE A SPONGY CHOKING NOISE. I CAME TO A STOP (WITH DIFFICULTY) AND TURNED OFF AND TURNED ON THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES AND I AM TOLD BY THE SAME DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM THAT IT MAY HELP TO GET A NEW ABS SENSOR ON IT FOR MORE THAN $1000 BUT 'THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES THAT THIS WILL WORK'. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND IT SEEMS AS IF MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND SCARY. I DON'T MIND PAYING FOR A REPAIR BUT WHEN THE ISSUE IS THIS SEVERE AND THERE IS NOT CONSENSUS ON HOW TO REPAIR IT I AM AT A LOSS AT WHAT TO DO. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT. *TR

I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM TO EVERYONE ELSE. I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND WHEN I WENT TO STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE GROUND, THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND AND THE "PARKING BRAKE LIGHT" CAME ON. SINCE I ONLY HAD A COUPLE MILES TO GO I DROVE HOME AND EVERY TIME I WENT TO BRAKE THIS HAPPENED. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO TAKE IT TO THE BRAKE SHOP AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE ARMADA DROVE NORMAL. THE BRAKE GUYS CALLED AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE AND THAT'S WHEN I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND 100'S OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEIR ARMADAS AT ALL SPEEDS BUT THE CONSTANT IN ALL SEEMED TO BE 2004-2007 ARMADAS. SEEMS NO ONE (INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIPS COULD FIX THE ISSUE) AND THE ONLY CONSTANT FIX WAS TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME-UP TO A COUPLE YEARS. I HAVE OWNED MY ARMADA 5 YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE BUT WANT IT FIXED BECAUSE I FELT WORRIED GOING 35 MPH AND ONLY A COUPLE MILES IN DISTANCE. *TR

BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY, LIGHTS COMING ON DASH (VDC, SLIP, BRAKE) AND RESETTING ONCE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND ON AGAIN. SERVICE DOESN'T HAVE ANY FIX, HAVE SUGGESTED BRAKE BOOSTER (OVER $1000) BUT DIAGNOSTICS IS GOING TO BE $110 AND HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF INTERNET POSTS OF THIS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/WEBX/.F1E3686?DISPLAYRECENT AND HTTP://WWW.TOPCLASSACTIONS.COM/LAWSUIT-SETTLEMENTS/LAWSUIT-NEWS/1154--NISSAN-ARMADA-A-TITAN-TRUCK-INFINITY-QX56-CLASS-ACTION-LAWSUIT TO NAME A FEW. THERE ARE SUGGESTIONS FROM OTHER SERVICE NISSANS OF REPROGRAMMING PCM $100, BRAKE ROTORS AND DISC REPLACEMENTS $1000+, COMPUTER RESETS $100-200, MASTER CYLINDER SENSORS REPLACEMENT $400. MONEY MONEY MONEY ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE TAKING A STAB IN THE DARK OR JUST MAKING MONEY BECAUSE WE ARE SO CLUELESS AND BLIND AS THE CUSTOMER. THE CURRENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT POINTS AT A DELTA STOKE SENSOR FAULT THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT ALREADY AND I AM SURE YOU HAVE HAD 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BRAKING PROBLEM. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO YOU NEED TO PUSH A SAFETY RECALL WITH NISSAN REGARDING THEIR BRAKING PROBLEMS FROM EARLY VEHICLES? THEY REPLACED THE 2008 ROTORS TO A THICKER MORE CAPABLE TYPE WHICH SHOWS THEY HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE INADEQUATE MATERIALS (TOO SMALL BRAKES FOR TOO MUCH POWER AND WEIGHT) USED IN THE EARLY MODELS NOT SURE IF ANY DEATHS RECORDED BUT THE PUBLIC SAFETY HAS TO BE ADDRESSED WHEN SO MANY OF THESE EARLY NISSAN ARE HAVING BRAKE ISSUES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF PEOPLE RUNNING INTERSECTIONS, SCHOOL CROSSINGS, RUNNING OFF AT CORNERS, HIGHWAY CRASHES ON THESE BLOGS AND I AM HOPING TO DOCUMENT THIS COMPLAINT SHOULD (TOUCH WOOD) ANYTHING HAPPEN TO ME, MY KIDS OR A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC SHOULD THIS OCCUR AGAIN. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE SO AT LEAST I HAVE EVIDENCE OF THIS. THANK YOU. *TR

APPROXIMATELY MIDDLE OF 2009, WAS PULLING UP TO STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WANT TO STOP AND MADE A HORRIBLE CRUNCH SOUND WITH PEDDLE ALL THE WAY DOWN THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STOPPED. CONTACTED NISSAN AND MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR A DEALER TO LOOK AT IT. OF COURSE IT DOESN'T DO THIS ALL THE TIME, BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING...THEY SUPPOSEDLY RESET THE SENSOR AND SAID THAT IT MAY IFS THE PROBLEM THEN AGAIN NOT...WENT ON A FORUM AND THERE IS SEVERAL OWNERS OF THIS SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE...SINCE THE IT HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES. I MADE A COMPLIANT WITH YOU PEOPLE AND NISSAN. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL...THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM. OUR VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND LOW MILES. WE BOUGHT FOR PULLING OUR TOY HAULER WHICH WE NOW DON'T FEEL SAFE TO PULL WITH THIS CONTINUOUS ISSUE...NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE AND DOES NOTHING BUT TRYING TO GET US TO PAY A 1,000.00 PLUS TO REPLACE THE BREAK BOOSTER AND SENSOR WITH NO PROMISES DO CURING THE PROBLEM.....PLEASE, WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A RECALL BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS FATAL ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED A VDC WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR CAUSED THE VDC LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REMEDY THE BRAKE SENSORS; THEREFORE, THE DEALER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE SECOND DEALER ALSO PREFERRED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BE PERFORMED. THE DEALER STATED THE BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSED THE VDC LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER BUT THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER STATED THE STEERING SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSE THE VDC LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER RESET THE STEERING SENSOR. THE VDC FAILURE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED ALL THREE DEFECTS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE VDC LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,500.

WHILE DRIVING, I NOTICE MY THAT MY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON AND AT THE SAME TIME I LOSS BRAKING POWER. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BUT, A GRINDING NOISE WAS BEING MADE AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF SEEMS TO RESET SOMETHING AND THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS AT 35 MPH BUT, IT HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 50. LUCKILY I'VE NOTICED IT BEFORE I GET INTO REAL HEAVY TRAFFIC BUT, I WORRY THAT I MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE THE CASE. I KNOW THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE SO WHY HASN'T NISSAN DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT? ARE THEY WAITING ON SOMEONE TO CRASH AND HURT OR WORSE KILL THEMSELVES? *TR

FIRST OCCURRENCE NOTED IN NOV 2011. WHILE DRIVING, HAD SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING POWER, WITH BRAKE LIGHT ON, GROANING NOISE, STIFF BRAKING MOTION. WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH WITH GREATLY REDUCED POWER. TURNED VEHICLE OFF, AND PROBLEM WAS GONE UPON RESTARTING. TOOK IT IN TO DEALER, WHO REPROGRAMMED VDC. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HAVE HAD RE-OCCURRENCE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BUT NOTING INCREASING FREQUENCY. HAD FRONT BRAKES REPLACED LAST WEEK. NOTED SAME PROBLEM DRIVING HOME FROM BRAKE REPLACEMENT. CALLED TWO AREA NISSAN DEALERS TODAY, AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE COMPLETELY UNFAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I HAD THE VDC REPROGRAMMED AT ONE OF THESE DEALERSHIPS IN 2011. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM, AND SEE COUNTLESS OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCES. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, DEFINITIVELY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON SPONTANEOUSLY. WHEN I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL A LOUD GRINDING AND SPRING LIKE NOISE CAME FROM THE ARMADA, AND THE BRAKE POWER WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS GONE AND THE BREAKS WORKED PERFECTLY. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BREAK TO STOP. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM IS GOOD, NOT ONE ISSUE. HE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED THOUSANDS OF TIMES. THERE IS EVEN A VIDEO POSTED OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. AFTER CALLING MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THIS CONCERN I'M WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE CASE FILED. HOWEVER, THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY FILED ALL STATE THAT NISSAN IS NOT PROVIDING A SOLUTION. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT IS LIKE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN A VERY LARGE VEHICLE WITH A 6 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE BACK AND SUDDENLY LOSING YOUR BREAKING POWER, BUT IT SCARED ME BEYOND EXPLANATION.

FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS. EVERY SEVERAL WEEKS SOMETIMES MONTHS. WHEN I GO TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND A HORRIBLE GRINDING FROM MY FROM BRAKES CAN BE HEARD. THE BRAKES SEEM LIKE THEY ARE BARELY ENGAGING AND VEHICLE HAS A HARD TIME STOPPING. THIS MOSTLY HAS HAPPENED AT SLOW SPEEDS. HOWEVER, THIS SAME SITUATION HAPPENED TO MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESS WAY WITH MY 6 YR OLD CHILD. SHE HAD TO MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND VERY SLOWLY TRY TO COME TO A STOP. I ALSO NOTICED THAT ONCE YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON THE PROBLEM IS GONE. I'VE SEEN HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF POST ONLINE WITH PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. PEOPLE HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS CHANGING BRAKES, ROTORS ETC... AT DEALERSHIPS WITHOUT ANY LUCK RESOLVING THIS ISSUE.

THIS IS THE 5TH TIME SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. I'VE HAD TO MANAGE TO PULL OVER, CUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART TO GET THE BRAKE LIGHT TO TURN OFF AND THE GRINDING TO STOP.

THIS EXPERIENCE HAPPENED YESTERDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2013 WITH MY FAMILY IN TRAFFIC. I'M ENTERING THIS REPORT FOR THE TIME IT FIRST HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED MORE TIMES FOR MY WIFE WHO IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER. IN TOTAL THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES. ONE SEPTEMBER 6, 2011 I WAS DROPPING KIDS OFF IN SCHOOL WHERE THE TEACHERS CONTROL HOW WE APPROACH AND ALLOW THE KIDS TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. I WAS IN THE NEXT GROUP TO PULL FORWARD. AS I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, THERE WAS NOT ANY REDUCTION IN SPEED. THE BRAKES MADE A HOLLOW METAL SCRAPING SOUND BUT DID NOT STOP THE CAR. I RAN INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF US SINCE THERE WAS WAY TO TURN WITH SCHOOL KIDS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR. WE GOT OUT AND DETERMINED THE SUV I HIT WAS NOT DAMAGED AND WE SETTLED THE ACCIDENT WITH A LUNCH SINCE WE WERE FRIENDS. MY FRONT BUMPER WAS SCRAPED COSMETICALLY SINCE THE OTHER VEHICLE HAD A TRAILER HITCH. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, I COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE PERSONALLY HAD THIS EXPERIENCE ABOUT 5 TIMES IN RANDOM SPEEDS UP TO 40 MPH APPROACHING LIGHTS. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD TO FIND A WAY TO NOT HARM PEOPLE OR CRASH. I'VE EVEN DRIVEN OVER CURBS INTO SIDEWALKS AVOIDING PEOPLE. MY WIFE HAS HAD THIS EXPERIENCE MORE THAN MYSELF. IT'S AN AMAZING FLAW IN THE VEHICLE THAT I'VE FOUND NO ANSWER TO ONLINE OR AT THE 6 TO 8 DEALERS I'VE ASKED. NISSAN DEALERS ONLY RECOMMEND SERVICE, ACT SYMPATHETIC AND WAIT FOR YOU TO BACK OFF THE ISSUE. WOW, I WAS AMAZED THIS IS NOTED SO MUCH IN THIS NHTSA DATABASE BUT NOT AN INVESTIGATION, RECALL, ETC. THIS IS AN AMAZING PROBLEM THAT I'VE SPOKE ABOUT WITH ANY NISSAN OR INFINITI OWNER I CAN AND THEY HAVE ALL HAD IT HAPPEN AND THEY HAVE SEVERAL CRASH AVOIDANCE STORIES. *JB

WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY MY BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON AND I HAD NO BRAKES. I HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER CARS TO AVOID AN CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. NISSAN HAS NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. WHY? WHY? WHY? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. OR WILL IT TAKE PEOPLE DYING??? BUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF POSTING ON-LINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. BUT STILL NO RECALL. THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWO WEEKS AGO AS WELL. PULLED THE CAR OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. SON OF A GUN...IT RESET THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE BRAKES WORKED AGAIN. SO, I JUST ASSUMED IT WAS A ONE TIME THING. BUT NO IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. I WAS LITERALLY TERRIFIED ABOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND BEING ABLE TO GET HOME TO MY KIDS. *TR

I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND WENT TO USE THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL HESITATED AND WOULD NOT GRAB NORMAL LIKE THEY USUALLY DO. THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NOW ON, SO I DECIDED TO PULL OVER IN A PARKING LOT AND TRY AND LOOK TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND OPENED THE HOOD TO MAKE SURE I HAD FLUID AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING OBVIOUS. EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NOT ON ANYMORE AND THE BRAKES WERE WORKING. A FEW MONTHS WENT BY AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAS STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. I SAW A TREND WHERE IT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING FOR ONE-TWO HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WOULD NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. I WOULD MAKE SURE THAT I WOULD START SLOWING DOWN AND TRYING TO BRAKE A LOT SOONER THAN I WOULD NORMALLY HAVE TO. RECENTLY THIS HAS STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY EVEN WHEN I AM DOING SHORT DISTANCE DRIVING NEAR MY HOME. I HAVE BEEN TO THREE DIFFERENT SHOPS TO LOOK AT MY BRAKES AND EVEN SPENT OVER $600 TO GET NEW BRAKES AND CHECK EVERYTHING OUT AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE WORKING PROPERLY, BUT IT STARTED HAPPENING A WEEK AFTER. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THIS TO A NISSAN DEALER AND THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. I PLAN ON BRINGING MY ARMADA TO A DEALER LATER THIS WEEK. I FELL UNLESS THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING RIGHT WHEN I BRING IT IN, THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THE BRAKE PEDAL / BRAKES NOT WORKING WHEN I GO TO BRAKE HAVE HAPPENED WELL OVER 25 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. I HOPE IT DOES NOT TAKE SOMETHING TRAGIC TO HAPPEN FOR NISSAN TO ADDRESS THIS AND ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ENTERING THE INTERSTATE FROM THE ON RAMP A CAR IN FRONT OF ME HIT THEIR BRAKES. AS I WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES THEY MADE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND, THE BRAKE LIGHT FLASHED AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I HAD TO SWERVE TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID A CRASH. DROVE CAR TO NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP DOING APPROX 20MPH AND AVOIDING OTHER VEHICLES. WHEN I GOT THERE I SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND HAD THE SERVICE DEPT TEST DRIVE, BUT THE PROBLEM HAD RESET ITSELF ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED (FOUND THIS OUT ONLINE AFTERWARDS WHEN RESEARCHING AND DISCOVERING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ARMADAS.) THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES AND NISSAN IS STILL REFUSING TO ASSIST WITH FIXING THE PROBLEM. *TR

THEY CHANGED ALL MY BRAKES (600.00 LATER) AND IT SEEMED THE ISSUE WAS FIXED (BECAUSE I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, WHICH RESET THE BRAKE MECHANISM).. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN SEEMS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE KILLED PEOPLE HAD THERE BEEN MORE TRAFFIC.

EXACTLY 1 YEAR AGO, WE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS AND TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY FOUND A CODE C1170 AND PERFORMED A REPROGRAMMING OF THE COMPUTER. THIS IS INTERMITTENT SO IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL ALMOST A YEAR LATER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN SEEMS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

I'VE OWN MY USED NISSAN ARMADA FOR (4) YEARS. A MONTH AFTER I HAD IT THE VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHT WARNING CAME ON AND I HAD NO BRAKES. WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES THE PEDDLE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR MAKING A LOUD CRUNCHING SOUND. I PULLED OVER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND ON AGAIN AND IT ALL WENT AWAY AS IF NOTHING HAPPEN. THE ENGINE AND THE TRUCK SOMEHOW RESETTED ITSELF. I'VE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIME AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I STILL HAVE THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN RID OF IT YET DUE TO THE FACT ITS NOW PAID FOR. ITS JULY 2013 AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING BUT MORE OFTEN. I'M THINKING ABOUT GETTING RID OF IT IF THERE IS NO RECALL. I'M WONDERING IF NISSAN IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THEY RECALL THESE VEHICLES. I SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

IT APPEARS THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH A BRAKE ISSUE WITH OUR 2006 NISSAN ARMADA AND WOULD HOPE SOMETHING COULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT NISSAN HAS AN ISSUE WITH THEIR BRAKE ISSUES. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO A DEALER IN SEBRING FLORIDA LAST YEAR AND I BELIEVE I TRIED TO HAVE ANOTHER DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT BEFORE LAST YEAR WHEN IT WAS IN WARRANTY. OF COURSE, THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEY JUST WANT TO TELL YOU IT IS THIS OR THAT...BRAKE BOOSTER...CYLINDROID...SENSOR...WELL, THE DEALERSHIP IN SEBRING DID DO SOMETHING WITH THE SENSOR AND COULD NOT GUARANTEE IT WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED KEPT AND HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 2000 MILES SINCE THEY DID WHATEVER THEY DID. IF YOU GO ONLINE, YOU WILL FIND MANY OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO DO SOMETHING TO GET THEM TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM? .....SOMEONE TO DIE...SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE ANYONE WILL DO SOMETHING. YOU WOULD THINK THAT WHEN YOU PAY TOP DOLLAR FOR A VEHICLE THAT YOU WOULD QUALITY AND IT TO LAST MORE THAN A COUPLE YEARS BEFORE MAJOR REPAIRS WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE. I HAVE A 2003 FORD FOCUS THAT WE BOUGHT USED AND HAS OVER 120,000 AND WELL MAINTAINED AND ONLY MINOR NORMAL REPAIRS. THE ISSUE WITH BRAKES DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME...WHEN IT DOES, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN AS YOU TRY TO BRAKE ....THE BRAKE PEDDLE WILL GO TO THE FLOOR, MAKE A HORRIBLE CRUNCH NOISE AND NO BRAKES. WE BOUGHT THIS TO PULL OUR 2006 FORREST RIVER TOY HAULER WHICH WE HAVE ONLY USE UP TO OR AT MOST 3-4 TIMES TO DAYTONA, WHICH IS ONLY 3 HOURS AWAY....WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE NEXT TIME WE USE OUR TRAILOR WITH THE ARMADA .AND NO BRAKES? PLEASE I ASK THAT YOU VIEW OTHERS COMPLAINTS TO MAKE A RECALL ON WHAT COULD HORRIFIC ACCIDENT WITH LOST OF LIVES AND COULD BE PREVENTED.

BRAKE LIGHT FLICKERED AND, WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED IT MADE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND WITH GREATLY REDUCED BRAKING POWER. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES AND I TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS LOW BRAKE FLUID. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AGAIN WITH THE FLUID LEVEL AT PROPER AMOUNT. TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAY IT IS A BAD BRAKE BOOSTER. A REVIEW OF ARMADA AND NISSAN TITAN MESSAGE BOARDS REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON (AND VERY DANGEROUS) PROBLEM THAT IS KNOWN TO NISSAN. *TR

IN THE PAST WEEK IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT TURN ON. THEN WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL IT MADE AN AWFUL GRINDING NOISE BOTH WHILE BEING PRESSED AND WHILE LETTING OFF OF THE BRAKE. THE BRAKES WERE VERY SLOW TO WORK. I PULLED OVER CHECKED THE E-BRAKE TO BE SURE IT WAS OFF AND STILL THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WHEN I GOT TO WORK I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND HAD A CO-WORKER CHECK MY BRAKE FLUID WHICH WAS FINE. UPON TURNING ON THE CAR IT DID NOT SHOW THE SAME SIGNS, IT "RE-SET" THE BRAKE LIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE MORE SINCE THEN, ONCE ON A BUSY STREET, WHILE AT THE REDLIGHT I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND AGAIN, ALL BETTER. THEN AGAIN YESTERDAY ON THE FREEWAY. I PULLED ALL THE WAY OVER TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AGAIN AND YET AGAIN ALL BETTER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. LUCKILY MY KIDS WERE NOT IN THE CAR AND I NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON SO I CAN SLOW BY LETTING OFF THE GAS THEN ONCE SLOW ENOUGH USE THE GRINDING BRAKES TO PULL OVER. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN TODAY AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY NO NOTHING OF THIS PROBLEM. EVEN WANTED TO CHARGE US $150 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY SAID THAT EVEN IF THERE WERE A RECALL IT WOULD NOT COVER AFTER THE VEHICLE REACHES 75,000 MILES. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH IT. A RECALL SHOULD COVER THE VEHICLE AT ANY POINT IN ITS USE. THE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR

I HAVE LOST BRAKING ABILITY SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THIS SYMPTOM HAPPENS. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD, BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND THERE IS GRINDING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END TOWARD THE WHEELS. SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE SPRING ACTIVATED. VEHICLE BRAKING ABILITY IS REDUCED TO 10% OR LESS. TURNING IGNITION OFF/ON RESOLVES FOR SHORT TIME, BUT NOT A PERMANENT FIX. *TR

AT 28,000 MILES WE WERE IN OUR ARMADA DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD, I WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN, USED MY BRAKES, AND THEY WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR, EVENTUALLY BRAKING BUT THERE WAS A DELAY OF TWO SECONDS OR MORE. A MAJOR GRINDING NOISE ALSO SOUNDED OFF. ALL THE BRAKE LIGHTS, SLIP, ETC CAME ON. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THIS WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT SINCE THE BRAKES WEREN'T STOPPING PROPERLY. THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED AGAIN AT 95K MILES. I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME THIS TIME!!!! I DROVE STRAIGHT TO PEPBOYS,(WHICH WAS CLOSEST TO ME). THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE GETTING A BRAKE BOOSTER ERROR! I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY COULD DO. [XXX] OPENED CASE NUMBER [XXX]. SHE STATED I HAD TO TAKE SUV IN TO DEALERSHIP. NISSAN CONFIRMED IT WAS A BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE AGAIN! NISSAN STATED THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE I'M OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS ISN'T A MILEAGE OR WARRANTY ISSUE!! NISSAN ALREADY MADE THEIR DECISION NOT TO COVER THE COST OF THE FAULTY PART BECAUSE IT WAS REPLACED AT 28K MILES. BUT THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDS REPLACEMENT. DOESN'T ANYONE SEE THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE?? I AM ASKING FOR NISSAN TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY BUT THEY WON'T. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING IN BOTH CIRCUMSTANCES BECAUSE AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED AND NISSAN WON'T EVEN TAKE OWNERSHIP AND MAKE THIS ISSUE CORRECT?? IT'S NOT THE MONEY THAT'S AT STAKE, IT'S A FAULTY PART AND MY OWN SAFETY! THE SALES MAN AT NISSAN SAID 300-400 OF THESE HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALREADY?! THAT SHOULD RAISE A RED FLAG I WOULD HOPE? I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS TWO TIMES NOW AND NISSAN ISN'T OWNING UP TO THE URGENCY IN THIS MATTER! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY WIFE HAS EXPERIENCED OUR NISSAN 06 ARMADA LOSING BRAKING POWER. IT FIRST STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A BRAKE ISSUE. HAVE HAD IT TO A BRAKE SHOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE THIS WEEK. I THEN WENT ON A NISSAN FORUM AND OTHER INTERNET SITES TO SEE THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH NISSAN ARMADA BRAKE/ABS ISSUES. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR US AS AN OWNER AND SHOULD BE TO ANYONE READING THIS POST. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE BRAKING AND IT COMES OUT OF NOW WHERE..I WAS ON A FLAT SURFACE HEADING TO A RED LIGHT... THE ABS KICKED IN AND THE BRAKING POWER WENT TO ABOUT 30 %. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ONLY ENGAGED ABOUT 1/3 OF THE DISTANCE AND GRINDING STARTED AND CONTINUE TILL I CAME TO A STOP I HAD TO MANUALLY SHIFT DOWN IN ORDER TO STOP AT THE RED LIGHT. I SET MY FLASHERS,TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND GOT OUT.. DIDN'T SEE OR SENSE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY OTHER THAN I HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER AND BRAKES WERE GRINDING..TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE BRAKES WORKED FINE. I KNOW THE PADS AND ROTORS ARE GOOD, JUST HAD THEM CHECKED ON MY STATE INSPECTION. THIS IS ALARMING BECAUSE THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE DRIVERS OUR KIDS AROUND IN IT... SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO KEEP THIS INCIDENT FROM BECOMING SOMETHING MUCH WORSE... I SENSE IT IS A SENSOR ISSUE OR SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT BECAUSE IT COMES OUT OF NO WHERE WHILE BRAKING. *TR

BRAKES ARE MAKING A NOISE AND THE ABS, VDC AND SLIP LIGHTS ARE COMING UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WE HAVE TRIED TURNING ON AND OFF VEHICLE. THIS MADE THE LIGHTS GO OFF AT FIRST. WE HAVE CHECKED BRAKE FLUID. WE HAVE HAD THE BRAKES INSPECTED. NO VISIBLE REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS MY VEHICLE NOT COVERED IN THE NTB06-040 RECALL? *TR

DURING NORMAL DRIVING BRAKE LIGHT SUDDENLY COMES ON. BRAKING POWER IS SEVERELY REDUCED AND THERE IS A LOUD MECHANICAL NOISE. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF THE FAULT RESETS ITSELF AND DISAPPEARS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR. THIS IS UNPREDICTABLE AND COULD EASILY CAUSE A CRASH IF IT HAPPENED AT THE WRONG TIME. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. PURCHASED 2006 ARMADA LESS THAN 20 DAYS AGO,. SINCE THE 2ND WEEK THE BRAKES WILL MAKE A SCARY NOISE (CAN'T REALLY DESCRIBE IT - GRINDING), THE BRAKES WORK AT ABOUT 10% AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT, THE NOISE DISAPPEARS AND THE BRAKES WORK AT 100% ONCE AGAIN. I RECENTLY GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND SEE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAN BELIEVE THAT NISSAN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

AS I AM DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA, MY BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON MY DASHBOARD AND I LOOSE BRAKING POWER. CLUNKING/SPRINGING NOISES SIMULTANEOUSLY BEGIN. IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND ON, THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS. THERE IS NO COMMON FACTOR AS TO WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE WAS REPROGRAMMED - A REPAIR NISSAN INDICATED WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. YET, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR AND NISSAN IS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM TO DATE. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS QUITE COMMON FOR OWNERS OF 2006 NISSAN ARMADAS, GIVE OR TAKE A FEW YEARS. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS 2006 NISSAN ARMADA BRAND NEW. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY. THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON AND A GRIDING NOISE COMES OUT WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID IT SOFWARE ISSUE WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE AND IT WORKED FOR COUPLE OF YEARS THEN AGAIN AND AGAIN, I SPEND ABOUT $160 EACH TIME TO CORRECT THE SOFTWARE NOW. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT NEEDS SOME PARTS AND SOFTWHERE UPGRADE ABOUT $750, SO I PARKED THE CAR AND I'M LOOKING FOR OTHER ALTERNATIVES. ANY ONE KNOW OF A RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. *JS
