2004 Nissan Armada

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO WHILE DRIVING THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I JUST HAD IT SERVICED TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT CRASH ZONE AIRBAG SENSOR BEING THAT IT IS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE FRONT RADIATOR GRILL ENDS UP RUSTING OUT FROM THE ELEMENTS OF OUR WEATHER. THEREFORE IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEREFORE IT WAS BILLABLE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I CAME ACROSS A NISSAN RECALL FROM JANUARY 2009. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # IS 08V690000. THIS RECALL WAS FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CRASH ZONE SENSOR RUSTING OUT FROM SNOW/SALT IN THE NORTHERN US STATES BUT WAS ONLY LIMITED TO 2005-2009 PATHFINDERS, FRONTIERS AND XTERRA VEHICLES. I FEEL THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM LISTED IN THE RECALL AND I LIVE IN NY STATE WHICH OBVIOUSLY HAS WINTERS WITH SNOW AND SALT. THE RECALL ISSUED A REDESIGNED SENSOR TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL LOCKED. HE THEN APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE RESTARTED IN ORDER FOR THE BRAKES TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS OR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. HE WAS UNABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP, CAUSING THE PEDAL TO JERK. HE WAS FORCED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH CONCLUDED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 67,287.

BRAKE FAILURE ON 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA: THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS FROM CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENTS DUE TO FAILURE OF ABS SYSTEM. THEY HAVE A TSB NTB-060 OUT AND DEALER WOULD RE-FLASH THE ABS SYSTEM TO FIX THE ISSUE FOR AN HOUR LABOR CHARGE. I HAD THIS HAPPEN TO MY ARMADA ON 1/26/2011 AND FOUND 1000'S OF USER WITH ISSUE ON DIFFERENT DISCUSSION FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAIN TO MAKE SURE NISSAN USA WILL TAKE THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY. SYMPTOM IF ISSUE: BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, BRAKE PADDLE WILL GO TO THE FLOOR AND SPRING CRACKING NOISE COMES FROM FRONT END. BRAKE DOES NOT WORK 95% TO THE CAPACITY. NISSAN DEALER WILL TRY TO SELL A NEW BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP FOR $1000 IF CUSTOMER IS NOT AWARE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2004-2005 NISSAN ARMADA, AND TITAN. I HAD MY BABY IN THE BACK AND HAD TO DRIVE 5 MILES TO HOME WITH NON EXISTING BRAKE. PLEASE FOLLOW THROUGH NISSAN TO MAKE SURE THEY TAKE CARE OF ISSUES SO IT DOES NOT HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE AND LIVES ARE LOST DUE TO A DEFECT THAT MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL. I HAVE UPLOADED A 23 SECOND LING VIDEO AT HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=R3LVSFQJXXQ [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA LE HAS ONLY 20,000 MILES AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENSOR BECAUSE IT WAS READING INCORRECTLY. WHEN I FILLED UP, THE GAUGE WOULD ONLY SHOW IT 3/4 FULL. ISN'T INACCURATE READING OF THE FUEL TANK A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING? WHY WASN'T THE 2004 INCLUDED IN THE FUEL SENSOR RECALL LIKE THE 2005 TO 2009 MODELS? *TR
