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 .

I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN, I NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHT, VDC LIGHT AND SLIP LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I PRESSED ON MY BRAKES IT MADE A GRINDING SOUND AND WOULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD TO JERK MY CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN TRY TO PUT IT INTO PARK. WHEN I PRESSED MY BRAKE PAD IT WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GROUND AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY CAR INTO PARK. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC PULLED OVER AND PARKED, I TURNED MY CAR OFF, WHEN I RESTARTED MY CAR THE LIGHT WERE OFF AND I DROVE ON MY WAY.
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.
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.
