I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET CLOSE TO MY HOME (FORTUNATELY) AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I HIT THE BRAKES TO TEST THEM TO FIND THAT THE BRAKES LOST MOST POWER AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATED HORRIBLY. I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I THEN SHUT IT OFF AND THEN STARTED IT BACK UP, WHICH CLEARED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. A FEW DAYS LATER I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME THE VDC NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOW ISSUE BY NISSAN FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER CHARGED ME TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE, YET LESS THAN 1,000 MILES LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. BACK TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT NOW THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDS REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF ANOTHER $1,000 AS PART OF THE SAME KNOWN ISSUE. I CALLED NISSAN, BUT THEY FLATLY REFUSE TO WARRANTY WHAT THEY KNOW IS A DEFECTIVE SYSTEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 56,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES STARTING IN 13' WITH THE ECM BEING REPLACED AFTER 05' ARMADA STALLED ON HIGHWAY TRAVELING 70 MILES/HOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. RECENTLY IN EARLY 15' I RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A QUARTER TANK OF GAS AT A RED LIGHT. ALSO IN EARLY 15' MY A/C WILL ONLY WORK WHEN ON HIGH. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE KNOWN & ARE LISTED AS RECALLS THAT I WILL BE MAKING A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO RESEARCH, CORRECT & FIX. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR & EXACT KNOWN ISSUES ONLINE. MOST RECENTLY IN NOVEMBER 15' I WAS PICKING MY CHILDREN UP FROM SCHOOL IN THE RAIN. I WAS TRAVELING HOME WHEN I HAD TO APPLY MY BREAKS, BUT THEY DID NOT PERFORM AS THEY SHOULD. THE BREAKS MADE A SPRING SOUND, THE BRAKE PEDDLE HAD LITTLE TO NO RESISTANCE WHEN I APPLIED MY FOOT TO STOP & THE BREAK LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO VEER OFF THE ROAD & RAN INTO A FENCE POST VERY LIGHTLY WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE TO MY FRONT CHROME BUMPER. I TURNED CAR OFF & IMMEDIATELY CHECKED ON MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. WE WERE ALL OK, THANK GOD. I STARTED ARMADA TO FIND THAT THE BREAK LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. I HESITATED TO DRIVE DUE TO WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. I WAS ONLY 3 MILES FROM HOME SO I SLOWLY ATTEMPTED TO CONTINUE HOME. THE ARMADA DROVE PERFECT & THE BREAKS FUNCTIONED AS THEY SHOULD WITH NO ISSUES. I GOOGLED INCIDENT TO FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS & REPORTS WITH SIMILAR TO IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS/KNOW ISSUE REPORTED & FILED. I WAS BLESSED THAT MY FAMILY WAS OK & I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A SERIOUS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT WITH LOSS OF BREAKS ONE TIME FOR NO REASON. THIS WAS THE 1ST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF OUTCOME IT COULD CAUSE WITH TEMPORARY BREAK FAILURE. NO NEED FOR LIFES TO BE LOST OR LAWSUITS TO MAKE IT RIGHT AND CORRECT/FIX ISSUE AT NO COST.

Official recalls
3Oct 28, 2010
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
Mar 3, 2010
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2009 TITAN, ARMADA, AND INFINITI QX56 VEHICLES. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE MAY INACCURATELY DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL SENDER UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW IMPROVED SENDER CARD. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

THE FAN MOTOR MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SEALED ALLOWING EXCESSIVE WATER INTRUSION AND INADEQUATE DRAINAGE OF MOISTURE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE CORROSION IN THE MOTOR LEADING POSSIBLY TO OVERHEATING AND A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A 'THERMAL PROTECTOR KIT' AND TEST THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 2, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
