REPLACED ABS PRESSURE SENSOR AFTER ABS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED IN 5/'14 AND REPROGRAMMED ABS CONTROL MODULE. ORIGINALLY HEARD SQUEAKING COMING FROM THE FRONT END WHEN BRAKES WERE ENGAGED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOCK OR STRUT PROBLEM TO ME. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND ENGAGED THE BRAKES TO DUPLICATE THE SQUEAKING. THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED AND I HEARD A LOUD, GRINDING NOISE AS I BRAKED. ALSO, THERE WAS VERY LITTLE BRAKING CAPACITY. BRAKE LIGHT WAS LIT ON THE DASHBOARD. TURNED ENGINE OFF, AND IT SEEMED TO RESET ITSELF. BRAKES WERE WORKING FINE AFTER THAT. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN FOR SERVICE, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE SQUEAKING WAS ATTRIBUTED TO AGED BUSHINGS IN THE FRONT END AND WERE LUBRICATED. IT STARTED TO SQUEAK AGAIN ONE DAY LAST WEEK. AS I WAS DRIVING, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. I BRAKED AND AGAIN HEARD THE GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES, THE PULSATING BRAKE PEDAL, AND DECREASE IN BRAKING. BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, I HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND TO NOT WORRY. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL GOES FLAT ON THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T STOP. THIS IS ABOUT THE 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED. IN THE PREVIOUS OCCURRENCES IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED THE ABS/VDC SYSTEM AND BRAKE PRESSURE SENSOR. THE COST ABOUT $3000. IT WAS TOWED TO THEM YESTERDAY AFTER THE OCCURRENCE AND NOW DEALERSHIP DOESN'T KNOW WHAT WRONG WITH THE TRUCK BECAUSE THEY HAVE TEST AND HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED, AND SO THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO NOTHING. SINCE THE WHOLE THING RANDOM I'M SCARED OF DRIVING MY FAMILY IN IT AND MOST ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO CLUE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON. CAN YOU HELP ME?

SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. BRAKES WENT OUT, GRINDING, HAD TO PUSH HARD ON THE PEDAL AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER PERSON. HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. MY MECHANIC STATES THAT MY DELTA STROKE SENSOR IS OUT AND I HAVE TO REPLACE THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY UNIT. THIS IS A $1,000 FIX. CALLED NISSAN AND THEY WILL CHARGE ME MORE AND SAY THEY HAVE NOT RECALLS ON THIS OR FOUND ISSUES. NOT TRUE. THERE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OUT THERE THAT LIST THESE EXACT SYMPTOMS WITH ARMADA BRAKES. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT PENDING SINCE 2011 BUT SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE NISSAN CORRECT THIS PROBLEM NOW BEFORE THERE ARE CASUALTIES FROM ACCIDENTS WHEN THE BRAKES GO OUT. *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.
Jun 27, 2008
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.
