WHILE DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN THE BREAK LIGHTS COME ON AND YOU CAN HEAR A GRINDING SOUND AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO PULSE. THE ONLY WAY TO QUICKLY FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO RESTART THE CAR. I'VE TAKEN THE ARMADA TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIANS DRIVE THE VEHICLE AROUND THE LOT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND SAY THEY DO NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BREAKS. THIS ISSUE HAS A POTENTIAL TO GENERATE FETAL OUTCOMES. FORTUNATELY FOR MY FAMILY, WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN HARMS WAY. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2006.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT SLOW NORMAL SPEED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR NO BRAKING AVAILABLE WITH KIDS IN MY CAR THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ARMADA BRAKE DEBOOSTER VALVE EQUIPPED WITH DELTA SENSOR . SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. DURING THIS NO BRAKING THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND SLIP WARNING AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THIS IS BY SAFELY PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE IGNITION OFF WHICH THEN MIGHT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY EXACTLY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THEY GOT THE CODE C1179 WHICH CLEARLY OUTLINES A BAD DELTA SENSOR WITHIN THE BRAKE DEBOOSTER VALVE . I BELIEVE NISSAN HAS KNOW THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT YET MADE A RECALL O THIS ISSUE WILL LIKE THE TRANSPORT SAFETY BOARD LOOK INTO THIS ELECTRICAL, SOFTWARE , MECHANICAL PROBLEM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE WHEREBY INNOCENT LIVES COULD BE LOST . THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL . THE DEALERSHIP ALSO WANTS TO CHARGE FOR THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE AND YET SAID THIS MIGHT NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEN THE BRAKE DEBOOSTER VALVE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED , I AM SHOCKED TO KNOW THAT THEY KNOW IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BUT YET TEND TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM FRUSTRATED CONSUMER .

AFTER PICKING MY KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL, I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY, AND AS I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES THEY BEGAN GRINDING LOUDLY, THE VEHICLE SEIZED UP, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. HOWEVER, UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST YEAR, AND I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I ALSO KNOW THAT IF I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, AND RESTART IT THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE, "CODE-WISE." EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, I HAVE BEEN SLOWING DOWN EITHER, ON THE INTERSTATE, OR EXITING IT, GOING AT LEAST 60MPH. I HAVE 6 CHILDREN, AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. THEY HAVE BEEN WITH ME 2 OUT OF THE 3 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. HAD I NEEDED TO MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE TURNOUT MIGHT HAVE YIELDED IN INJURY, OR WORSE, FOR MULTIPLE PEOPLE. I HAVE NEW BRAKES AND ROTARS, MY BRAKE LINES HAVE NO LEAKS, AND IT HAS BEEN SERVICED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WITH A FULL DIAGNOSTIC CHECK UP. THEY FIXED OLDER RECALLS AND CHANGED MY BELTS. THERE ARE CLEARLY ENOUGH PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT YEAR MODEL, AT DIFFERENT MILAGES, IN AND OUT OF WARRANTY, TO WARRANT THIS AS A DEFECT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS OF THIS VEHICLE, AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROAD. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!

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.
