2004 Nissan Armada

BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS FAILED TWICE. AT 40,000 MILES AND 80,000 MILES. NISSAN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 40K WITH SAME DEFECTIVE MANIFOLDS WHICH FAILED AGAIN AT 80K. NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE WITH SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS FOR A TOTAL OF $2400.00. LEAKS WEREN'T DISCOVERED TILL 83K MILES. I NOW OWN A VEHICLE THAT HAS CONSISTENTLY LEAKED CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE PASSEGER CABIN. MY SPOUSE IS WONDERING IF THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF MY SIX YEAR OLD'S BRAIN CANCER WHICH WAS DIAGNOSED 4 YEARS AGO WHEN THE MANIFOLDS WERE LEAKING FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN HER DAILY DRIVER SINCE NEW. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN ARMADA AND TITAN VEHICLES HAVE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT FAIL BETWEEN 30/40K AND NISSAN REPLACES WITH SAME DEFECTIVE PART. *KB

SYMPTOM: NISSAN VEHICLE LOOSES BRAKING ABILITY 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. VEHICLE BRAKING ABILITY IS REDUCED TO 10% OR LESS. TURNING IGNITION OFF/ON RESOLVES FOR SHORT TIME, BUT NOT A PERMANENT FIX. NISSAN HAS TSB NTB06-040 TO CLEAR THE CODE C1179 FROM BRAKE MODULE. I HAD PREFORMED AT MY COST AND ISSUE CAME BACK. CALLED NISSAN AND OPEND A FILE NUMBER 7181591, BUT THEY ARE BLAMING IT ON ME, NOT THE FLAW THAT IS HAPPENING TO 100'S OF OTHER ARMADAS INCLUDING ME. I AM REQUESTING SAFECAR.GOV TO PROBE NISSAN ABOUT THE BRAKE ISSUE THAT IS AFFECTING 2004 ARMADA, TITAN, AND INFINITY QX56 AND TO FIND OUT IF THEY ARE DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT.
