2004 Nissan Armada

TAKATA INFLATORS PASANGER SIT DOSENT SENSE THERES A PERSON ON THE SIT AIRBAG IS OFF ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN DRIVING AND THERE'S A ADULT HEAVY PERSON ON THE SIT I'VE TRIED SEVERAL FRIENDS HEAVY PERSONS AND IT'S ALWAYS OFF EVEN WHEN DRIVING ANY SPEED ..... REAR BRAKES DON'T WORK PROPERLY WHEN DRIVING IN REGULAR STREET 25 MILLES SUDDENLY EMERGENCY LIGHT TURNS ON AND BACK BREAKS SOUND LIKE THEY ARE LOOSE AND DON'T STOP CAR HAD TO TURN CAR OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF STREET AND THEN TURN IT ON TO RESET BRAKES AND THEN IT WORKS FINE FOR A DAY OR 2 OR A WEEK NOT SURE WHEN BUT ITS VERY OFTEN

THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS SUDDENLY STOP WORKING. THEY WERE WORKING TODAY DURING THE DAYTIME AND I HAD THEM ON. AS IT GOT DARK THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON. I TURNED THE LIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE ON. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN BUT DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. THE HIGH BEAMS WORKED SO I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THOSE ON (EXCEPT EVERYONE KEPT FLASHING ME ON THE WAY HOME). I STOPPED AT AUTOZONE TO GET A NEW FUSE AND RELAY FUSE. THAT DID NOT WORK. WHEN I GOT HOME I PULLED ALL THE FUSES AND THEN PUT THEM BACK IN. CAR SAID NO KEY FOB BUT I DID HAVE IT. I LOCKED AND UNLOCKED THE CAR WITH THE KEY FOB THEN TURNED ON THE CAR AND THE LIGHTS STARTED WORKING AGAIN. DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY DURING THE DAYLIGHT (WHICH WAS TODAY) WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON TO MAKE SURE THEY WORK. ONCE IT GOT DARK THE LIGHTS WERE NOT ON AND I WENT THROUGH THE ABOVE PROCEDURE AT HOME TO GET THE LIGHTS WORKING AGAIN (E.G., PULL ALL THE FUSES AT ONCE THEN PUT BACK IN THEN GO THROUGH THE KEY FOB ISSUES AGAIN THEN THE LIGHTS WORK AGAIN).

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROADWAY WHEN THE BRAKE, VDC, ABS AND 4X4 LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. THE CAR ALSO STARTED MAKING A BONGING GRINDING AND VIBRATING WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I CHECKED TO SEE IF I COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING SO I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND ALL THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON BUT THE NOISE AND VIBRATING HAD STOPPED. I MADE IT HOME WITHOUT IT MAKING THE NOISE AGAIN. THE NEXT WEEKS WENT BY AND ALL THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON AND IT MAKES THE NOISE AND VIBRATION EACH TIME I TURN THE CAR ON BUT AND I PRESSED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES IT GOES AWAY EXPECT THE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT NOTICED A LEAK FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEAK WAS DUE TO A TEMPORARY SEAL ON THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT PERFORMED THE REPAIR HIMSELF; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

BREAK WAS FIXED AS PART OF RECALL BUT NOW THE SAME PROBLEM REAPPEARED. THE DEALER SAYS FIX WAS ONE OFF AND NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. SPENT HOURS IN MANY DIFFERENT CALLS TO 1-800-NISSAN1. THEY ARE GIVING ME RUN AROUND AND NOT AUTHORIZING THE SAME DEALER TO REDO THE RECALLED COMPONENTS. THE NISSAN AGENT REFUSED TO CONSIDER IT A SAFTY RECALL ISSUE. NISSAN CREATED CASE NUMBER: 26306021 AGENT ID: 7319032

TAKATA RECALL "ABS BRAKING SYSTEM ,ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILS THE BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS BRAKEL LIGHT, TICS LIGHT ALL COME ON INSTRUMENT PANEL,WHEN STEPPING ON BRAKE PEDAL, THEN A WIERD NOISE SOUND THEN BRAKE PEDAL SINKS TO FLOOR WITH THE BRAKES GRABBING AND LOCKING UP CAUSING TIRES TO LOCK AND SLIDE, THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY SOMETIMES TWICE IN THE SAME TIME ,THEN IT MIGHT GO WITHOUT OCCURRING FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS AT A TIME, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I JUST HAPPEN TO KNOW SOMEWHAT HOW TO DEAL WITH PROBLEM, AS I'M APPLYING BRAKES WHEN IT ALWAYS HAPPEN, BUT IF I WAS BRAKING HEAVILY AND IT HAPPEN NO WAY ,WOULD I NOT CRASH INTO WHAT EVER IN FRONT OF ME, IT ONLY HAPPENS WHILE TRUCK IS IN MOTION , AND DURING BRAKING.

WE HAVE A 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA WITH UNDER 74,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE VEHICLE LOOKS LIKE IT IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE UNTIL IT IS PUT ON A LIFT. THE MAJOR CONTROL ARMS OF THE VEHICLE ARE SEVERELY RUSTED WHILE OTHER STEEL IN CLOSE PROXIMITY IS NOT. WE FOUND A RECALL FOR 1996-2004 NISSAN PATHFINDERS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE: 'CAMPAIGN ID #: R1107 'NHTSA #:11V-244 'APPLIED VEHICLES:1996-2004 PATHFINDER (R50) NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN TOLD US THAT THIS RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR VEHICLE. WE BELIEVE THAT THE COMPONENTS USED ON OUR VEHICLE WERE PROBABLY PRODUCED BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER AS THE RECALLED COMPONENTS AND THEREFORE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE THAT WE SPOKE WITH WOULD NEITHER CONFIRM NOR DENY THIS. ( MARIANA 615-725-5879) SHE COULD ONLY CONFIRM THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO OUR NISSAN.

DOESN'T MATTER THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE, BRAKES TEND TO PRESS TO THE FLOOR, GRINDING NOISE AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO PULL OVER THE VEHICLE, TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART IT. IT RANDOMLY HAPPENS, BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF AND WHEN I TOW OR AM ON THE HIGHWAY, I DON'T WON'T MY BRAKES TO NOT WORK. COULD KILL ME...I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH BRAKES AND LIGHTS COMING ON THAT SAYS VDO ,ANTILOCK ETC: WHEN DRIVING THE SUV AT LOWER SPEEDS AND YOU TRY TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE WHOLE FRONT END STARTS SHAKING AND GRINDING AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. I HAVE REPLACED BRAKES, ROTORS , WHEEL HUB BEARINGS AND STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS SCARY WHEN YOU CAN'T STOP A 7,000LB VEHICLE! I AM IN FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT . I HAVE READ OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMETIMES WHEN RUNNING HYW SPEEDS A LOT OF LIGHTS COME ON AND DINGERS AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE ARMADA. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT NISSAN IS GONNA DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM CAUSE IT SEEMS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THESE ISSUES. BY THE WAY THIS IS GOING ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BACK ON 10/2006.
