IN THE PAST WEEK IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT TURN ON. THEN WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL IT MADE AN AWFUL GRINDING NOISE BOTH WHILE BEING PRESSED AND WHILE LETTING OFF OF THE BRAKE. THE BRAKES WERE VERY SLOW TO WORK. I PULLED OVER CHECKED THE E-BRAKE TO BE SURE IT WAS OFF AND STILL THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WHEN I GOT TO WORK I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND HAD A CO-WORKER CHECK MY BRAKE FLUID WHICH WAS FINE. UPON TURNING ON THE CAR IT DID NOT SHOW THE SAME SIGNS, IT "RE-SET" THE BRAKE LIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE MORE SINCE THEN, ONCE ON A BUSY STREET, WHILE AT THE REDLIGHT I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND AGAIN, ALL BETTER. THEN AGAIN YESTERDAY ON THE FREEWAY. I PULLED ALL THE WAY OVER TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AGAIN AND YET AGAIN ALL BETTER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. LUCKILY MY KIDS WERE NOT IN THE CAR AND I NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON SO I CAN SLOW BY LETTING OFF THE GAS THEN ONCE SLOW ENOUGH USE THE GRINDING BRAKES TO PULL OVER. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN TODAY AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY NO NOTHING OF THIS PROBLEM. EVEN WANTED TO CHARGE US $150 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY SAID THAT EVEN IF THERE WERE A RECALL IT WOULD NOT COVER AFTER THE VEHICLE REACHES 75,000 MILES. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH IT. A RECALL SHOULD COVER THE VEHICLE AT ANY POINT IN ITS USE. THE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR

AT 28,000 MILES WE WERE IN OUR ARMADA DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD, I WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN, USED MY BRAKES, AND THEY WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR, EVENTUALLY BRAKING BUT THERE WAS A DELAY OF TWO SECONDS OR MORE. A MAJOR GRINDING NOISE ALSO SOUNDED OFF. ALL THE BRAKE LIGHTS, SLIP, ETC CAME ON. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THIS WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT SINCE THE BRAKES WEREN'T STOPPING PROPERLY. THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED AGAIN AT 95K MILES. I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME THIS TIME!!!! I DROVE STRAIGHT TO PEPBOYS,(WHICH WAS CLOSEST TO ME). THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE GETTING A BRAKE BOOSTER ERROR! I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY COULD DO. [XXX] OPENED CASE NUMBER [XXX]. SHE STATED I HAD TO TAKE SUV IN TO DEALERSHIP. NISSAN CONFIRMED IT WAS A BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE AGAIN! NISSAN STATED THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE I'M OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS ISN'T A MILEAGE OR WARRANTY ISSUE!! NISSAN ALREADY MADE THEIR DECISION NOT TO COVER THE COST OF THE FAULTY PART BECAUSE IT WAS REPLACED AT 28K MILES. BUT THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDS REPLACEMENT. DOESN'T ANYONE SEE THERE IS A PROBLEM HERE?? I AM ASKING FOR NISSAN TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY BUT THEY WON'T. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN LIFE THREATENING IN BOTH CIRCUMSTANCES BECAUSE AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED AND NISSAN WON'T EVEN TAKE OWNERSHIP AND MAKE THIS ISSUE CORRECT?? IT'S NOT THE MONEY THAT'S AT STAKE, IT'S A FAULTY PART AND MY OWN SAFETY! THE SALES MAN AT NISSAN SAID 300-400 OF THESE HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALREADY?! THAT SHOULD RAISE A RED FLAG I WOULD HOPE? I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS TWO TIMES NOW AND NISSAN ISN'T OWNING UP TO THE URGENCY IN THIS MATTER! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY WIFE HAS EXPERIENCED OUR NISSAN 06 ARMADA LOSING BRAKING POWER. IT FIRST STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A BRAKE ISSUE. HAVE HAD IT TO A BRAKE SHOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE THIS WEEK. I THEN WENT ON A NISSAN FORUM AND OTHER INTERNET SITES TO SEE THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH NISSAN ARMADA BRAKE/ABS ISSUES. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR US AS AN OWNER AND SHOULD BE TO ANYONE READING THIS POST. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE BRAKING AND IT COMES OUT OF NOW WHERE..I WAS ON A FLAT SURFACE HEADING TO A RED LIGHT... THE ABS KICKED IN AND THE BRAKING POWER WENT TO ABOUT 30 %. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ONLY ENGAGED ABOUT 1/3 OF THE DISTANCE AND GRINDING STARTED AND CONTINUE TILL I CAME TO A STOP I HAD TO MANUALLY SHIFT DOWN IN ORDER TO STOP AT THE RED LIGHT. I SET MY FLASHERS,TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND GOT OUT.. DIDN'T SEE OR SENSE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY OTHER THAN I HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER AND BRAKES WERE GRINDING..TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE BRAKES WORKED FINE. I KNOW THE PADS AND ROTORS ARE GOOD, JUST HAD THEM CHECKED ON MY STATE INSPECTION. THIS IS ALARMING BECAUSE THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE DRIVERS OUR KIDS AROUND IN IT... SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO KEEP THIS INCIDENT FROM BECOMING SOMETHING MUCH WORSE... I SENSE IT IS A SENSOR ISSUE OR SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT BECAUSE IT COMES OUT OF NO WHERE WHILE BRAKING. *TR

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.

NISSAN IS RECALLING 180,664 MY 2005-2006 TITAN, ARMADA AND INFINITY QX56 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER MARCH 17, 2005, THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH A VISTEON AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR. 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.
