2004 Nissan Armada

STEERING WHEEL WOULD SHAKE WHEN BRAKING. THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPT. THERE IS NOW A BULLETIN ON THE CAR AND THEY REPAIRED/REPLACED THE BRAKES ACCORDING TO THE BULLETIN. A BRACKET, BOLT AND PIN? DOES NISSAN, THE MANUFACTURER REALLY THINK THAT IS THE SOLUTION? THE SOLUTION IS EQUIPPING THE VEHICLE WITH THE PROPER (SIZE) BRAKES TO BEGIN WITH. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A SMALL CAR, IT IS A LARGE SUV AND IT NEEDS LARGE TRUCK SIZE BRAKES. A RECALL OR TRUE FIX WOULD BE NICE BEFORE THESE BRAKES FAIL AND HURT SOMEONE. NISSAN REALLY DOESNT SEEM TO CARE BECAUSE WHEN YOU CALL THEM THEY WILL JUST LET YOU DRIVE IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH FAILING BRAKES. IF IT WASNT FOR THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPT ALWAYS PUTTING ME IN A RENTAL WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.*AK

SERVERAL ISSUES, THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE BRAKES, AND ROTORS. @ 7000 MILES, THE ROTORS WERE TURNED, STEERING WHEEL WAS PULSATING, SERVICE DEPARTMENT TURNED ROTORS. AT 11,000 MILES, THE STERRING WHEEL RESUMED PULSATING ALONG WITH THE BRAKE, SLIP, AND VDC LIGHT ACTIVATED ON THE CONTROL PANEL. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT. MY BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW, PERHAPS LEAKING AND THE BRAKES REQUIRE CHANGING AT MY COST, THE WARRENTY DOES NOT COVER THE BRAKE ISSUE. I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPT. THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE, I WILL NOT PAY FOR NEW BRAKES, AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. MY REASEARCH HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE EARLIER ON THIS WILL BE A CONTINUING ISSUE REGARDING THE ROTORS AND BRAKES. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH, THE BRAKES ARE STILL ON BACK ORDER, THE LIGHT SIGNALS I HAD DESCRIBED EARLIER ARE STILL LIGHTING UP LIKE A XMAS TREE. I AM MORE THAN FRUSTRATED WITH THIS ON GOING ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN, I WAS ASSURED I WOULD RECIEVE A CALL BACK WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS, THAT WAS 2 1/2 WEEKS AGO. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. MY CONFIDENCE IN NISSAN IS MOOT. YOU WOULD THINK I DRIVE CONSTANTLY. I USE THE COMMUTER BUS TO GO BACK AND FORWARD TO WORK. MY DRIVE DAILY IS 3 MILES. EVERYTHING IS ON BACK ORDER. I AM STILL WAITING FOR AN INTERIOR PART FOR THIS VEHICLE SINCE JUNE.*AK

WE PURCHASED OUR 2004 NISSAN ARMADA 1 MAY 2004. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE SINCE THE PURCHASE. IT WILL COME OFF OF THE TRACK EVERYTIME YOU PUT THE WINDOW DOWN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN NASHVILLE. THET DID NOT WANT TO HELP US UNTIL I ABSOLUTELY THREW A FIT BECAUSE THE WINDOW WAS STUCK DOWN. THEN NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN CLARKSVILLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE OTHER DEALERSHIP HAD ALREADY WORKED ON IT. SO, I PROCEEDED TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP IN NASHIVLLE. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I ENDED UP TAKING THE VEHICLE TO CLARKSVILLE, WHERE THEY PROCEEDED TO BLAME NASHVILLE FOR THE SHODY WORK. CLARKSVILLE PROCEEDED TO FIX THE VEHICLE WITH A NEW PART FOR THE WINDOW, AND WERE WELL AWARE THAT WE WOULD BE MOVING TO NEW YORK THE NEXT WEEK. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO WE NOTICED THAT THE WINDOW WAS OFF THE TRACK AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DEALERSHIPS IN THE NEW YORK AREA, THE FIRST IS BAY RIDGE NISSAN. THEY WANTED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. SO, I DECIDED NOT TO GO BACK TO THAT DEALERSHIP. THEN TODAY, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON STATEN ISLAND WHICH COST ME $8 IN TOLLS FOR ME TO BE TREATED LIKE A MORON AND LIKE I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE VEHICLE I AM DRIVING. I HAD TO CALL MY HUSBAND, WHO IN TURN HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $8 IN TOLLS TO COME AND HELP ME EVEN GET A LITTLE HELP FROM THE DEALERSHIP. FUNNY HOW THERE MINDS CHANGED WHEN HE SHOWED UP. I AM HOPING THAT THIS WILL BE THE END OF THIS PROBLEM. LETS SEE, I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AT 0830 THIS MORNING AND STILL HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD FROM ANYONE ABOUT IT. I KNOW FOR SURE THAT THIS IS THE LAST VEHICLE THAT WE WILL PURCHASE FROM NISSAN. THEY HAVE THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE BUSINESS.*AK
