2004 Nissan Armada

2004 NISSAN ARMADA HAS A BRAKE PROBLEM. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TO TURN OFF TRUCK AND TURN IT BACK ON TO RESET BREAK LIGHT. IF I USE BRAKES WHEN LIGHT IS ON THE ABS DOES NOT WORK, IT MAKES A SPRINGY CRUNCHING NOISE WHEN BRAKE IS PRESSED.THE PEDAL WENT DOWN SO EASILY WHEN IT DID THIS. LISTEN. HELP. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE CALL: "BRAKE BOOSTER "OR "MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER "IS EXPENSIVE AND I CHECK ONLINE AND NOTICE THAT MANY PEOPLES ALREADY HAS THIS PROBLEM AND NOT ONLY 2004, ALSO2005, 2006,2007 ! NISSAN SHALL HAVE THIS IN RE-CALL SUCH THAT'S VERY DANGEROUS I TOCK THE SUGGESTION THAT WRITE TO THIS VERY IMPORTANT WEBSITE THANK YOU !! *TR

CAR INVOLVED IS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. I WAS PULLING UP IN FRONT OF MY SON'S FRIEND'S HOUSE TO DROP HIM OFF. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND I WAS ALMOST STOPPED WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND HIT A CHEVY TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. IT LUNGED FORWARD WITH SUCH FORCE IT PUSHED THE TRUCK FORWARD ABOUT 4 FEET AND THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE ENDED UP ON THE CURB. THERE IS A LOT OF DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT WITHIN A 3 MONTH TIME PERIOD. ON 1/8/13 WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN A PARKING GARAGE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND SHE CRASHED INTO A WALL. I FIGURED IT WAS A FLUKE THING AND PAID MY $1000 DEDUCTIBLE AND THEY REPAIRED THE $8500 WORTH OF DAMAGE. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN SLOWING DOWN FOR SOMEONE AT A CROSSWALK I WOULD HAVE RAN THEM OVER. I HAVE A COMPLAINT INTO NISSAN SINCE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 3 MONTHS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. I DONT EVER WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN AND WILL NOT PUT MYSELF, MY FAMILY OR OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE IN DANGER AS SOMETHING IS HORRIBLE WRONG WITH THIS CAR. NISSAN GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND I WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK. IT HAS BEEN 48 HOURS AND SO FAR I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. *TR

PULLING OUT OF WALMART PARKING LOT AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN. SO I STEP ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AND THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD LITTLE PRESSURE TO BARELY STOP THE 6000LBS SUV, VERY SCARY! ALSO MADE A GRINDING OR CHATTERING NOISE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON DURING THAT TIME. TOOK THE SUV TO THE DEALER TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY STATED THAT IT COULD BE THE DELTA SENSOR INSIDE OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER THAT IS BAD AND STATED IT ALSO NEED TO BE REPROGRAM AFTER THAT PART REPLACEMENT??? SO THEY TOLD ME IT WILL COST $1004.56 OUT THE DOOR TO FIX THAT PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE DEFECTED PARTS , SINCE THERE IS A LOT OF OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

BRAKES "JUDDER" ONCE EVERY 6 OR SO MONTHS. THE JUDDER MANIFESTS ITSELF AS A PARTIAL ENGAGEMENT OF BRAKES, AND A RAPID FEEDBACK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE LEARNED OVER TIME THAT I NEED TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY, PARK THE CAR, AND REPEATEDLY JAM DOWN THE PEDAL, (AS IF PUMPING UP THE BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE). TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE IT AND THE CAR WAS STILL TOO NEW FOR THEM TO HAVE HEARD OF IT BEFORE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES WERE SOFT UNTIL YOU REACHED THE BOTTOM. THEN THE BRAKES WOULD ENGAGE BUT WOULD BRING THE TRUCK TO A SUDDEN STOP. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY WITH 4 KIDS RANGING FROM 2-12 AND 3 ADULTS IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT. I MANAGED TO CONTROL THE TRUCK AND GET OFF THE FREEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT NOT IN THESE DRIVING CONDITIONS. MY FAMILY WAS VERY DISTRESSED. I PULLED INTO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT SINCE TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF WILL RESET THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A BAD DELTA STROKE SENSOR. THIS WILL COST APPROXIMATELY 928 DOLLARS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND AS I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INHERENT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I PRAY NO ONE HAS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IF THE ISSUE IS RECURRING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY WITH THE BRAKE PROBLEM THEN RECALL IT. I GUESS WE WILL HAVE TO MAJOR ACCIDENT FOR NISSAN TO DO SOMETHING. *TR

WHILE MY WIFE WAS TAKING OUR KID TO SCHOOL, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, AND AS SHE PRESSED ON THE BRAKES A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE TRUCK WAS HAVING A HARD TIME STOPPING. LUCKILY, SHE WAS FAR BEHIND FROM ANY CAR OR SHE WOULD HAVE HIT SOMEONE. AS SOON AS YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A WHILE. WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS FOR A WHILE NOW. WE TOOK IT TO NISSAN THE FIRST TIME AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. LAST YEAR, I DECIDED TO TAKE IT AGAIN TO NISSAN WHEN THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER BUT SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. FUNNY HOW AS SOON AS THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THEY HAD A FIX. I WENT AHEAD AND PAY THINKING THAT WOULD FIX IT. IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES AND WE NORMALLY JUST STOP, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND PROBLEM GOES AWAY. I FINALLY DECIDED TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT SINCE NISSAN DOES NOT APPEAR OR IS UNWILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY NISSAN ARMADA 2004, MY BRAKES LIGHT CAME ON, BRAKES LOCKED UP, BRAKES PEDAL DID NOT WORK AND THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. WAS VERY SCARY FOR MY CHILDREN, HUSBAND AND MYSELF. PULL MY VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE AS FAR AS I COULD. BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT WORK PROPERLY, WAS AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPING DEAD IN ITS TRACKS, BUT STILL MOVING. PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED OFF IGNITION AND RESTARTED IT. BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF, NO NOISE AND PEDAL SEEMED TO BE WORKING! *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA LE THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE 2004. IN 2007, I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES, BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON, BRAKES FEELING "CRUNCHY", GRINDING NOISES AND DECREASED BRAKING POWER. THAT ISSUE RESOLVED ON ITS OWN, BUT NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND MORE OFTEN. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, DECREASED BRAKING POWER, ETC. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND MULTIPLE FORUMS WHERE HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF PEOPLE WHO OWN THE SAME VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE, I FEEL IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
