AN ESTIMATE OF RECORD WAS ORIGINATED AT TOYOTA OF NORTH CHARLOTTE AFTER THE COLLISION. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER THE COLLISION DESPITE THE MULTIPLE DAMAGES AND MY MINOR INJURY. THERE HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING AIRBAG DIAGNOSTIC CODE THAT HAS BEEN MONITORED DURING OTHER GENERAL MAINTENANCE REPAIRS THAT WERE COMPLETED. IT HAS NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION IF THE VEHICLE CONTAINS A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG SYSTEM. I AM TRYING TO OBTAIN THE NISSAN PART NUMBERS/DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE ORIGINAL AIRBAGS WITHIN MY 2006 ARMADA. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE THIS DATA EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, REPAIRED AND INSPECTED AT THAT LAKE NORMAN-CORNELIUS LOCATION. *JS *JS

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED FALL 2014. DEC 2014 (1ST INSTANCE) I WAS LEAVING PARKING LOT WHEN MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY BRAKES MADE A WEIRD GRINDING NOISE & I COULDN'T STOP. WHEN I DID GET IT TO STOP I TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES THINKING IT WAS FLUID, BUT I CHECKED AND FLUID LEVEL WAS FULL. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND SEEM LIKE IT WAS FINE. DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN TIL MTH HALF LATER, SAME THING. I PUMPED BRAKES, SHUT VEHICHLE OFF, RESTARTED AND IT CLEARED UP. HOWEVER, YESTERDAY JUNE 29, 2015 I WAS TRYING TO GET OFF INTERSTATE AND WAS COMING DOWN OFF RAMP BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES TRYING TO EXIT AND MY BRAKES STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. I KNOW THAT I HAVE NEW BRAKES AND PLENTY OF BRAKE FLUID. I TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE WHERE I NORMALLY HAVE WORK DONE AND WAS TOLD I NEED TO TAKE IT TO DEALER. SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED, THERE IS NO LONGER WARRANTY AND I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED. I HAVE TO HAVE VEHICLE, IM SINGLE MOM TAKING CARE OF MY MOM AND 2 DISABLED SISTERS. IM THE ONLY ONE DRIVING BUT I DON'T WANT TO RISK THEIR LIFE, SOMEONE ELSES LIFE OR MINE IF I CANT GET BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY.

WHEN SUDDENLY WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE NISSAN ARMADA STARTED VIBRATING AND WE HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN MY HUSBAND LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD BROKEN OFF COMPLETELY WITH OUT ANY WARNING. THE DRIVE SHAFT DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE MUFFLER THE EXHAUST AND ANOTHER THING I DONT KNOW THE NAME. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THE TRUCK DIDN'T FLIP OVER. I CALLED NISSAN LETTING THEM KNOW OF THIS ISSUE THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL GET BACK TO ME ON MONDAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ALL DRIVE SHAFTS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED FREE. MY HUSBAND ALREADY REPLACED OURS BUT JUST THE COST OF ALL THE REPAIRS IS WELL OVER 2000 DOLLARS WHICH IN MY OPINION NISSAN CORP SHOULD BE PAYING FOR.

THE VEHICLE DIFFERENTIAL CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AND CAUSED A BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE SLIDE THROUGH A RED LIGHT INTO AN INTERSECTION WHERE IT WAS STRUCK IN THE SIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I CHECKED THE BRAKES AND IT HAD STOPPED. THIS WAS ONE INCIDENT OF MANY. THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES STOP WORKING AND MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT, IT WILL STOP DOING IT. THE VEHICLES BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, AND BRAKE BOOSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT STILL CONTINUES TO DO IT. THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY TO THIS OCCURRING. IT DOES THIS PERIODICALLY WITH THE SAME RESULT. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM INVOLVING NISSAN ARMADAS NATIONWIDE WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS BEING REPORTED ON THE INTERNET ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS ARE DESCRIBED THE SAME WAY. IN FACT I RECEIVED A NOTICE ON A CLASS ACTION SUITE BEING FILED AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WORK FOR NHTSA AND ATTEMPTED TO DISCUSS THIS PROBLEM WITH ODI TO NO AVAIL. I WOULD EXPECT SOME SORT OF RESPONSE WHEN ME AND THE PUBLIC MAKE COMPLAINTS THAT CAN AND WILL BE LIFE THREATENING. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS AND OR HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO BE INVOLVED IN CRASHES, INJURIES, AND/OR DEATHS BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. THE INCIDENT DESCRIBED IS ONE EVENT AMONG MANY. IT HAS ALSO OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE AT MUCH HIGHER SPEEDS. THE ONLY WAY TO CLEAR IT IS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND CRANK IT BACK UP AGAIN. THE DEALER WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THERE IS A DEFECT, INSTEAD THEY CONTINUE TO REPLACE BRAKE PARTS, AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE HOPING THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM.. *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.

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.
