THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING SINCE 2011 AND I FOUND OUT THIS YEAR THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT PURPOSE. I REPORTED TO NISSAN COMPANY ABOUT THAT AFTER MY CAR WAS REJECTED FOR THE ANNUAL INSPECTION. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VIN# OF MY ARMADA WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE SINCE HEARD THAT THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL OF NISSAN CARS FROM 2002 AND UP. I WONDER WHAT ACTION I CAN TAKE SINCE MY ARMADA FALLS INTO THE YEARS MENTIONED. THANKS *JS

I CURRENTLY DRIVE MY NISSAN ARMADA TO WORK 3 TIMES A WEEK. ON OCCASION THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON OUT OF NOWHERE AND AS SOON AS I STEP ON THE BRAKE A LOUD GRINDING AND SPRINGING NOISE STARTS TO TAKE PLACE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN A BIT AND PULL OVER. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND AFTER A MINUTE I TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AGAIN. THIS CONTINUOUSLY HAPPENS AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ESPECIALLY IF MY KIDS ARE INSIDE THE CAR. I SEE OVER 300 COMPLAINTS AND YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. WE SEE ALL THESE GMC RECALLS, YET HERE WE ARE WITH THIS ARMADA IN JUST ABOUT THE SAME DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING OVER THE 285 SPAGHETTI JUNCTION BRIDGE WHEN A CRASHING SOUND LIKE A GUN SHOT DISRUPTED MY DRIVE. I GRIPPED THE STIRRING WHEEL AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. CATCHING MY BARRENS, WE REALIZED THAT THE SIDE "CURTAIN" AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT, NO ONE HIT US AND WE DID NOT HIT ANYONE SO WE WERE NOT SURE ON HOW OR WHY THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WE CONTACTED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ASSIST US STATING THAT BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE AND YEAR OF THE VEHICLE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. IT IS REALLY UPSETTING THAT THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERING THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN THE FRONT AND BLINDED MY VISIBILITY. INSTEAD NISSAN WILL NOT GIVE US A REASON FOR THE DEPLOYMENT OR EVEN CHECK OUT THE VEHICLE AS IT SITS AT THE NISSAN INFINITI DEALERSHIP. WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND NO ONE IS WILLING TO ASSIST OR BE ACCOUNTABLE. OUR HANDS ARE TIED LOCKED IN A CAR PAYMENT THAT WE ARE NOT EVEN ABLE TO DRIVE. *TR

YESTERDAY I LEFT THE PARKING LOT AFTER WORK AND AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES I NOTICED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. THE PARKING BRAKE WAS IN THE UP POSITION AND THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH LIGHTS COMING ON EVEN IF NOTHING IS WRONG (TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT). AT THE TIME I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED DUE TO FIVE O'CLOCK TRAFFIC. SO AFTER GETTING ONTO THE FREEWAY THE SPEED INCREASED THEN I NOTICED WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER/SHAKE AND THE BRAKES DIDN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING AS THEY SHOULD. IT WAS A NOTICEABLE GRINDING NOISE AS WELL. SO I CONTINUED ON SLOWLY(35MPH) UNTIL I REACHED A POINT THAT I COULD STOP. I CHECKED TO SEE IF MAYBE I HAD LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. I SAW NOTHING COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR. I STOPPED THE CAR IN ORDER TO DO THIS. WELL ONCE I GOT BACK IN AND STARTED THE VEHICLE THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE BRAKES WERE WORKING AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I SEE BLOGS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. WHAT I DIDN'T SEE WAS A RECALL OR ANY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THE ARMADA HAS A MALFUNCTION OF SOME SORT WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT ANYTHING I CAN FIND THAT IDENTIFIES THE PART OR PROBLEM. SO FAR NOTHING...I WILL BE TAKING MY ARMADA TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC JUST TO SEE WHAT IF ANY CODE WILL MATCH MY DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENTS YESTERDAY. I AM WORRIED THAT I WILL EXPERIENCE BRAKE FAILURE ALTOGEHTER. *TR

AS DRIVING I HAD A SUDDEN RED LIGHT WHEN HIT BRAKES PEDAL VIBRATED NO BRAKING AND SLIPPING, AND MAKING NOISES, AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD IN A PARKING LOT AND TESTED THE BRAKES FOR ABOUT 10 MINS BUT IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING, I TURN ON AND OFF BUT STILL, AFTER MAYBE 15 MINS, LIGHT WHEN OFF AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. I GOT MY OIL CHANGE AT NISSAN NALLEY IN DECATUR GA. I TOLD THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND HE SAID THAT THE LIGHT FORM BRAKE WAS ALREADY OFF, AND WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSED SINCE CPU HAD ALREADY DELETED. JUST TWO DAYS AGO (5/29/14)AT 78K WHILE I'M HEADING TO PARK WITH WIFE AND DAUGHTERS IT DOES IT AGAIN, NOW AT ABOUT 25 MPH, I PULLED IN A STREET WITH LESS TRAFFIC AND DID THE SAME AGAIN, DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE, AS IM WORRIED IT HAPPENS AT A HIGHER SPEED WITH MY LOVE ONES IN, *TR
