DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE CONTACT COMPLAINED ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY THE FRONT BRAKES. HE HAS ALREADY DECIDED THAT IT WAS THE FRONT BRAKES BECAUSE HE COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. . ALSO, BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AND FADED. THERE WAS 14,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, AND HE HAS BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. HE REFUSED TO LET HIS WIFE OR FAMILY DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE. AT FIRST HE THOUGHT THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE DISC BRAKES, PADS, AND THE ROTORS THAT RUSTED, BUT AFTERWARDS HE DECIDED THAT THIS WAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE SITTING ON THE LOT. BUT SINCE THE PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WHEN BRAKING HARD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE BRAKES WILL SHUTTER AND FADE. THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE WITH THE HIGHEST TOWING PACKAGE AND WHEN TOWING SOMETHING HE FELT LIKE HE WAS GOING TO CRASH WITH THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT GOT SO WORSE. HE CONTACTED A DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HIM THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE BRAKES BY A BY OWNER BASIS BUT HAD NO PLANS IN MAKING THIS A RECALL. THERE HAS ALMOST BEEN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE RETIRED FROM THE SHERIFF' S DEPARTMENT AND HAS BEEN TO PROFESSIONAL DRIVING SCHOOL. THEREFORE, THE CONTACT DID KNOW HOW VEHICLES WERE SUPPOSE TO BE HANDLED. *AK

DT: THE CALLER COMPLAINED ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM. SHE SAID THE BRAKE ROTORS WORE OUT. THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ALL THE TIME AND IT WAD HARD TO KEEP CONTROL OF VEHICLE. SHE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE TIRES, THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES. MANUFACTURER SAID SHE HAS AFTERMARKET WHEELS ON VEHICLE, AND THEY WERE NO LONGER LIABLE. DEALER SAID THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURE WAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF PAYING FOR IT. VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, AND IF SHE NEEDED ANY MORE WORK DONE ON BRAKES SHE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT HERSELF. *AK

CONTINUOUS BRAKE SHUDDER VIBRATES THRU STEERING WHEEL. SEATS SQUEEK. FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T MOVE TO THE FULL MARK WHEN FUEL NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME FOR THE BRAKE PROBLEM AND THE THIRD TIME FOR THE FUEL GAUGE. THEY REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACE THE ROTORS AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY ALL THESE PROBLEMS IN LESS THAN A YEAR FOR MY 2004 ARMADA. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN ANY RECALLS I SEE ALL THESE COMPLAINTS AND I'VE COMPLAINED MANY TIMES. I THINK WE SHOULD BE REFUNDED OUR MONEY ON THE VEHICLES OR GET A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE 22,000 MILES. AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR THESE SO CALLED REPAIR KITS THAT THERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE ITS BEEN MONTHS. WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO WHEN OUR WARRENTY RUNS OUT!!!

DT: CONTACT OWNED A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. T WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES FRONT END SHAKES. THE PEOPLE AT NISSAN'S CORPORATE OFFICE THOUGHT THIS WAS NOT A BIG DEAL BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT RECALL. HOWEVER, THE GOVERNMENT BECAME INVOLVED, AND THAT WAS WHY CONSUMER ENLISTING Y HELP. I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH FRONT ROTORS IN FEBRUARY OF 2004. TOOK VEHICLE TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHO FIXED THE PROBLEM BY ROTATING THE ROTORS. THEN , ON JUNE. I HAD SAME THE SAME PROBLEM . CALLED THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AGAIN AND THEY CHECKED THE FRONT END AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH THE ARMADA, AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART FOR THE VEHICLE, AND THAT IT WOULD BE ABOUT THREE WEEKS. THREE WEEKS WERE UP SATURDAY JULY 16. CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON JULY 15 AND SPOKE WITH SOMEONE FROM SERVICE. HE ADVISED CONSUMER T THAT THEY COULD NOT TELL WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FIX THE TRUCK BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT ORDER THE PARTS FROM NISSAN. ALSO, THEY HAVE A STACK OF ORDER FORMS, AND IF CONSUMER CAME IN ABOUT TWO OR THREE WEEKS AGO THEN SHE WOULD HAVE HAD ABOUT 7 OR 8 PEOPLE AHEAD. WHEN CONSUME R TOLD HIM THAT SHE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND IT DID NOT MAKE HER FEEL ANY BETTER TO KNOW THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. DEALER THEN SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE. CONSUMER ASKED HIM HOW COULD IT BE SAFE WHEN THE FRONT END SHAKES. *AK *NM

IN NOVEMBER 2004 I PURCHASED THE ARMADA 2004. I DROVE IT TO FLORIDA IN DECEMBER 2004 AND LEFT IT IN MY HOUSE. I LEFT WITH THE MILITARY UNTIL JUNE 2005, I DROVE THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL JULY 2005, IN WHICH, ONE MORNING I TRY TO TURN IT ON, THE VEHICLE DID NOT START AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THE BATTERY OR STARTER WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE BATTERY GAGE WENT FROM HALF WAY TO THE NEGATIVE SIDE AND THEN BACK TO THE MIDDLE AND ONCE AGAIN TO THE NEGATIVE SIDE AGAIN. THE CONTROL SYSTEMS ARE STILL SHOWING NEGATIVE INFORMATION OF BEING OFF OR ON. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IN FOR A CHECK UP DUE TO I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE IN NY AND I AM IN FL. I HAVE TO CHECK WITH THE NY DEALER IF I COULD TAKE IT ANY NISSAN DEALERSHIPS IN FL. I WILL REPORT BACK ON ANY INFORMATION FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. IF ANY ONE HAS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM POST IT THANK YOU. *NM

DT: CALLER SAID THAT 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, WHEN HE HITS THE BRAKES THE CAR SHOOK. THE CALLER HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED, AND 3 MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. HE HAD IT FIXED AGAIN AND 3 MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE CALLER HAD IT FIXED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE DEALER ROTATED THE ROTORS, AND REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY WERE STILL LOOKING FOR THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND WHAT WENT WRONG. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CALLER TO CONTACT NHTSA. THE CALLER BELIEVED THAT HE WAS COVERED UNDER THE LEMON LAW. THE MANUFACTURER GAVE THE CALLER CASE #4992811. *AK THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE SO BAD THAT IT WAS EASY TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FIXED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED HIS MONEY BACK. THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND ON ANOTHER REPAIR VISIT THE ROTORS WERE FOUND DISTORTED. *SC
