I OWN A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA SUV AND SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT I HAVE HAD 4 SEPARATE INSTANCES OF LITTLE OR NO BRAKES ISSUE. THE DASH "BRAKE" LIGHT COMES ON AND IF YOU APPLY THE BRAKES YOU HEAR AND FEEL THE ABS SYSTEM WORKING...GIVING YOU LITTLE OR NO BRAKES WHEN NEEDED. I HAVE RESEARCH THE ISSUE AND FOUND MANY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THERE NISSAN ARMADA'S. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT NO FIX IN PLACE YET...AND NO RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OR KILL OTHER WITH THERE 6000LB SUV THAT CAN'T STOP WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENS. I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A SERVICE CALL ON THIS ISSUE...THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS FINE 95% OF THE TIME...BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL POP UP AND YOU HAVE NO BRAKES! IF THE SUV IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED IT GOES AWAY AND DRIVES AND BRAKES NORMAL....TILL WHATEVER TRIGGERS THIS ISSUE SHOWS UP AGAIN AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. NISSAN NEEDS TO GET THIS FIXED AND HAVE A RECALL ASAP! I LOVE MY NISSAN BUT THIS SCARES ME! MY WIFE DRIVES THIS SUV MOST OF THE TIME WITH OUR 4 KIDS IN IT. SOME HAVE HAD A TBS DONE TO THE SUV BUT IT COMES BACK OVER TIME. HOW DO WE GO ABOUT GETTING THIS FIX? *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 TAKING MY NINE YEAR OLD TO BOYSCOUT MEETING I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND SEVERAL LIGHTS CAME ON MY DASHBOARD. THE LIGHTS INCLUDED ABS, BRAKE LIGHT AND SOME OTHER LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GRINDING LIKE SOUND AND THE BRAKES SEEM TO GO OUT. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO SO I SLOWED DOWN AND SAT FRANTICALLY AT THE LIGHT. THEN I SLOWLY PULLED OVER IN THE PARKING LOT OF A SHOPPING CENTER AND STOPPED MY VEHICLE. I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES. I THEN STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND PRECEDED TO MY DESTINATION. NOTHING HAPPENED AFTER THIS. ABOUT ONE MONTH I EXPERIENCED THE SAME TYPE OF BRAKING PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN SHOP THEY FOUND NOTHING TO BE WRONG. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA LE. IT HAS RECENTLY HAD SERIOUS BRAKING PROBLEMS, IT IS INTERMITTENT, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY. APPROX. 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK, I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THEY DID NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. I HAD NO BRAKING POWER, THEN IT STARTED MAKING GRINDING NOISES BUT I STILL COULD NOT STOP IN A SAFE MANNER. MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT THE CAR AND WE SWITCHED KEYS-MEANING WE TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN ON AGAIN. AFTER THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF THE BRAKES BEGAN TO PERFORM NORMALLY. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO LES SCHWABB AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES BUT THEY BLED THE SYSTEM AND PUT NEW FLUID IN. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AND THE FIX IS ALWAYS TURNING THE TRUCK OFF. I AND MY CHILDREN WERE PUT IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION ON A MAJOR ROAD. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2006 ARMADA'S. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED. *TR

DURING THE ISSUE, TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY AND RESTARTING USUALLY RESOLVES THE ISSUE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER 40-50 TIME. CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP RESULTED IN A $500 BILL TO FLUSH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND RE-SURFACE THE BRAKE ROTORS. THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. *TR

Official recalls

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.
