2004 Nissan Armada

THE POWER SEAT POSITIONING OF THE DRIVER/FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CHANGES POSITION ON ITS OWN RANDOMLY (WHILE DRIVING, WHILE PARKED WITH&WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING), AND GIVES LITTLE POSITIONING "CLICK" SOUNDS AS IT DOES IT. THIS OCCURS MORE ON SOME DAYS THAN OTHERS, USUALLY ONLY WITH PEOPLE SITTING ON THE SEAT AND ONLY IN SMALL INCREMENTS, BUT WHEN I GO MANUALLY CHANGE IT BACK WITH THE CONTROLLERS ON THE SIDE OF THE SEAT, IT WON'T ADJUST UNTIL THE PERSON IS OUT OF THE SEAT. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN NOTICED BY TWO PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

BRAKE JUTTER, GRINDING, SHAKING WHEN BRAKING. ABS VDL SLIP BRAKE LIGHTS UP ON DASH--UNABLE TO TURN OFF. STOPPING VEHICLE AND RESTARTING CORRECTS THE PROBLEM SOMETIMES; OTHER TIMES THE LIGHT STAYS ON. BRAKE PADS ORIGINALLY REPLACED EARLY AFTER PURCHASE IN 2005 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE IS RARELY DRIVEN--THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 36K MILES ON THE VEHICLE--BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PERSISTENT OVER THE YEARS WHEN DRIVEN. LATELY, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE MORE OFTEN AND THE PROBLEM IS CONTINUING AND IT IS MORE APPARENT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE BRAKES. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE LIFT GATE AS IT RECENTLY STOPPED FUNCTIONING WHEN PRESSING THE KEY FOB OR EITHER OF THE SWITCHES INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I BEGAN OPENING AND CLOSING THE LIFT GATE MANUALLY AND NOW IT WILL NOT CLOSE SECURELY, I.E., IT IS NOT GETTING THAT FINAL SEAL WHEN CLOSED. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW NO LONGER GOES UP OR DOWN AND DOES NOT WORK WHEN USING THE DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER SWITCH. FINALLY, THE DRIVER'S SEAT DOES NOT RESET TO THE POSITION PROGRAMMED WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS AND TURNS OFF. I DECIDED TO RESEARCH THE INTERNET TODAY AND WAS QUITE SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2004 AMADA. CALLED A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TODAY AND THEY WERE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. JUST AS SO MANY HAVE WRITTEN ALL OVER THE INTERNET, THE DEALER SUGGEST THAT YOU BRING THE VEHICLE IN WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE IS DISPLAYED SO THAT THEY CAN PERFORM DIAGNOSTIC TEST. *TR

THE VEHICLE'S HOME-LINK SYSTEM FAILED. *NM THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE MEMORY SEATS FOR THE DRIVER DOES NOT WORK. A VIBRATING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE HEAT SHIELD FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. VIBRATING NOISE HEARD FROM THE INTERIOR COURTESY LIGHT LENS. THE LINER ON THE ROOF PASSENGER LINER IS SEPARATING. TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED. ROTORS WARPED ON THE FRONT BRAKES AS A RESULT OF INADEQUATE SIZE TO THE VEHICLE AND INADEQUATE VENTING WHICH RESULTED IN OVERHEATING. THE CONSUMER CAN NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGH SPEEDS. THE CONSUMER HEARD A BOOMING NOISE FROM THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO RECEPTION. CRACKS DEVELOPING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HEAT SHIELD. HEADPHONES FOR THE DVD SYSTEM WHERE NOT PROVIDED. *TC

WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PASSENGER WHO WAS SEATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT ALMOST HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THE SEAT BELT DIDN'T HOLD THE PASSENGER, CONSUMER INDICATED THE PROBLEM WAS THE DESIGN OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED TO THE CONSUMER THEY RECEIVED COMPLAINTS EVERY DAY ON THIS ISSUE, AND THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. *AK THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS SET AT A DOWNWARD ANGLE. *TC
