DRIVING MY 2006 ARMADA, AND WHEN I WENT TO STOP, THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER. I SLOWED TO A STOP AND HAD TO TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND BACK ON AND THE NOISE AND GRINDING WAS GONE. DROVE IT ABOUT 1 MILE AND WENT TO SLOW DOWN FOR A TURN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE GRINDING NOISE. ONCE AGAIN, THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK, IT WENT AWAY AGAIN. WHY ISN'T ANYTHING BEING DONE FOR THESE 2006 ARMADAS BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN QUITE FREQUENTLY AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THEY CAN'T GET STOPPED IN TIME! *TR

ON AUGUST 11 2010 , WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2 KIDS 6 AND 2 YRS OLD , MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA CAUGHT ON FIRE , MY KIDS AND I WERE ABLE TO SMELL LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING, BUT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO SEE ANY SMOKE OR FIRE ANYWHERE AROUND US, IT WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO SEE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK ,, SHE SAID THE SMOKE WENT BY HER WINDOW , I LOOKED THRU MY MIRRORS BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING , I LOOKED AT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE WORKING JUST FINE , SO I TOLD MY DAUGHTER IF IT WAS OUR CAR BURNING I SUPPOSED THERE WOULD BE AN INDICATOR THAT WOULD TELL US THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE ,ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE SAW SMOKE AGAIN , SO MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO STOP AND CHECK , MAKE SURE WE WERE OK , I STOPPED A SOON AS I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND PARKED ON A SAFE PLACE. I STOPPED ABOUT 2 MINS LATER AFTER SHE TOLD ME . I TURNED THE MOTOR OFF AND GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK ,, SO I DECIDED TO GO AROUND AND CHECKED EVERYWHERE , WHEN I STARTED WALKING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK , RIGHT ON FRONT OF THE HOOD I COULD SMELL LIKE BURNING VERY CLOSE AND VERY STRONG SMELL , AND THE NEXT THING I SEE AS I KNELT DOWN RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK IS THE FAN ON FIRE . I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT MY EYES WHERE LOOKING AT, SO MY FIRST REACTION WAS TO GO BACK IN HE CAR AND GET MY KIDS OUT OF THE BURNING TRUCK,RIGHT AWAY SHE STARTED TO UNBUCKLE HER 2 YR OLD BROTHER . WE STARTED RUNNING TO GET AWAY FROM THE FIRE , WHILE I WAS CALLING 911.AFTER THE INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FIRE WAS CAUSED DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT THE TRUCK HAD ON THE COOLING FAN . THAT TRUCK HAD A RECALL ON JUNE 2008 , OF WHICH I NEVER HAD A NOTICE OF . UNTIL THIS DAY IM STILL WAITING ON ANY KIND OF RESPONSE FROM NISSAN.I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW SO I WAS HOPING THAT NISSAN WOULD TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT , SINCE THEY ENDANGERED OUR LIVES. AND I THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *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

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.
