2004 Nissan Armada

I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY BRAKES WILL STOP WORKING, I WOULD HAVE TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THEN IT WILL RESET. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT NO RECALL ON THE PROBLEM. I WAS ALSO PULLING MY TRAILER AND THE SAME THING HAPPEN AND I COULD STOP SO I HAD TO GO UP ON THE MEDIUM TO KEEP FROM HITTING ANOTHER CAR. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA I BOUGHT IT USED 1 YEAR AGO AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS I STARTED SEE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL TURN ON (LIKE IF I HAD THE EMERGENCY BRAKE) AND MY SUV WOULD NOT STOP THE WORST WAS IN HALLOWEEN WHEN KIDS WHERE CROSSING THE STREET THE LIGHT TURNED ON AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS HUGE THANK GOD I WAS ONLY GOING LIKE 25 -30 MPH NOTHING HAPPENED PLEASE NISSAN TAKE CARE OF THIS MAJOR PROBLEM . *TR

WHILE LEAVING WORK, I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 20MPH WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRUCK FINALLY CAME TO A STOP AFTER I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND RESTARTED IT, THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO BRAKE NORMALLY. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE OWNED MY TRUCK FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND IT HAS CONTINUED TO PERFORM THIS WAY PERIODICALLY(2 TIMES A MONTH). THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I PRAY EVERYTIME WE DRIVE IT. NISSAN HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. FOR THIS REASON, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL GO ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED AT THIS TIME THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF BREAKING POWER AS WELL AS A GRINDING AND JERKING MOTION. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT IF I TURN ON THE VEHICLE AND LEAVE IT IN PART POSITION FOR 10 MINUTES OR SO, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL ALSO GO ON. IF I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE, THE SAME LOSS OF BRAKING POWER OCCURS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE LOSS OF BRAKING POWER IN VARIOUS SITUATIONS FROM GOING 75 MILES ON THE FREEWAY TO AS LITTLE AS BRINGING THE CAR OUT OF PARKED POSITION. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME LOSS OF POWER AND NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2004 NISSAN ARMADA HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE. SHE WAS ON A BACK ROAD HEADING HOME WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES TO GO AROUND A SHARP TURN. INSTEAD OF BREAKING, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND AND THE BRAKE PEDDLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THANK GOODNESS SHE WAS ABLE TO MANAGE THE TURN AND THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN FRONT OF HER. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. *TR

REAR CROSSMEMBER SUB FRAME HEAVY RUSTED AND ALSO HOLES FOR THE SAME REASON FOUND IT WHERE THE SWAY BAR SUPPORTS BRACKETS ARE LOCATED .THE SUV IS USED FOR DAILY TRANSPORTATION AND PLEASURE NOTHING EXTREME FOR THAT KIND OF RUST ON THAT PARTS OF THE VEHICLE.VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION THE REAR SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER COULD BE BROKE AND FELL APART REAR WHOLE SUSPENSION . THE SUV IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW NISSAN ARMADA BACK IN 2004. STARTING AROUND 2006 I HAD A BRAKE FAILURE ISSUE. THE EMERGENCY LIGHT COMES ON UNEXPECTEDLY AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT APPLY PROPERLY. YOU CAN HEAR A GRINDING, CRANKING, SPRING NOISE WHEN "TRYING" TO STOP THE BEHEMOTH VEHICLE. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO SEVERAL NISSAN DEALERS (WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY) BUT THEY ALL COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE... IT WAS NOT HAPPENING AT THE TIME I TOOK IT IN. THIS WENT ON FOR YEARS AND YEARS!!! HOW CAN I GET IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, IF THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP CAN'T TELL ME THE PROBLEM? RECENTLY NISSAN THEN ADVISED ME TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. SO AFTER PAYING $115 OUT OF POCKET TO PROVE SOMETHING IS WRONG, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER BOOSTER SENSOR WAS "DEFECTIVE". SO I LET NISSAN NORTH AMERICA KNOW ABOUT THE "DEFECT" AND OF COURSE THEIR RESPONSE WAS "YOUR VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY". HOW HEINOUS OF A COMPANY CAN NISSAN BE? NOT CARE FOR THE THOUSANDS OF DRIVERS INCLUDING THEIR FAMILIES (IT IS A FAMILY CAR) AND OTHERS WHO ARE AT RISK OF BEING INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT! ON TOP OF THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE! THEY HAVE SOLD ME A VEHICLE WITH DEFECTIVE PARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY NEED TO BE FINED AND BE ACCOUNTABLE AND FIX THE DEFECTIVE PROBLEM FOR ALL THE CONSUMERS WHO ARE GOING THROUGH THIS TERRIBLE STRESSFUL ISSUE NOT KNOWING WHEN YOUR VEHICLE CANNOT BRAKE! THIS IS A BIG SAFETY AND LIABILITY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND ADDRESSED BY NISSAN ASAP. *TR

CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD IDENTIFIED. DEALER TOOK 2 MONTHS AFTER REQUESTING A TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP (200 MILES RT) TO DENY ANY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE VEHICLE IS OVER 8 YEARS NEW. BEEN CRACKED FOR YEARS AND THEY KNEW ITS AGE BEFORE REQUESTING AN INSPECTION. WE WERE TOLD BY DEALERSHIP TO BE WARY OF EXHAUST LEAKING INTO THE CABIN. *TR
