EVENTUALLY IF I GET THE CAR STOPPED AND I RESTART IT THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT IT HAPPENS TO A LOT OF ARMADA OWNERS. IT'S TERRIFYING. IT USUALLY HAPPENS IF I AM DRIVING, THEN TURN THE CAR OF AND THEN ON AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. THE BRAKES WILL FAIL AND I CAN ONLY GET THEM TO WORK CORRECTLY IF I RESTART THE CAR.

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!

THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THE CAR DROVE FINE. AS I RESEARCHED MY ISSUE, I FOUND MANY ITEMS THAT MATCH THE DESCRIPTION THAT I EXPERIENCED TODAY. THEY ALL HAD NO LUCK AT THE DEALER IN DIAGNOSING A PROBLEM. NISSAN HAS EVEN SETTLED A LAWSUIT PERTAINING TO A BRAKE EXPERIENCE THAT WAS SIMILAR TO MINE TODAY.

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.
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.
