2007 Nissan Armada

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY, A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE, THE BRAKE PETAL BECAME VERY MUSHY, & I HAD TO PRESS IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP. FORTUNATELY I WAS EXITING THE INTERSTATE WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES CLOSE. FRONT AND REAR BRAKES HAD BEEN REPLACED RECENTLY AND ALL LOOKED FINE WHEN WE PULLED OVER TO CHECK THEM. WHEN WE TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE BRAKES FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. DECIDED TO DRIVE TO RELATIVES HOME CLOSE BY, ABOUT 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED AGAIN THE BRAKES WERE BACK TO NORMAL. THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURS SPORADICALLY AND EACH TIME RESOLVES TEMPORARILY BY TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS, ALWAYS KEEP PLENTY OF STOPPING DISTANCE JUST IN CASE.

TRAVELING DOWN INTERSTATE WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWED DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED, A SCREECHING GRINDING SOUND WAS MADE AND BRAKES DIDN'T STOP PROPERLY. VEHICLE TOOK MUCH LONGER TO STOP THAN NORMAL. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON, IT WENT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DATE SO FOR DATE OF INCIDENT, TODAY'S WAS USED. HAVE READ ON MULTIPLE ONLINE FORUMS WHERE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ARMADA'S AND NISSAN HAS FAILED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO DECELERATE, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE AS THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND I LOST POWER STEERING. ALTHOUGH MY GAS GAUGE SAID 1/4 TANK, THE END RESULT WAS THAT I RAN OUT OF GAS. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR A PREVIOUS RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY IT DIDN'T WORK, AND THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS ONE OF MY KIDS COULD BE DRIVING, OR IT COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WHAT CAN I EVEN DO TO REPAIR IT, IF THE FIRST REPAIR DIDN'T WORK?

JUST STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. AFTER CROSSING THE STREET ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ATTIRED TO SLOW DOWN MY CAR LOST PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE WITH GRINDING WHEN FULLY PRESSING BRAKE. ABLE TO COME TO A STOP AFTER ABOUT 10 FEET. LOOKED UP AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. PUT CAR IN PARK AND ENGAGED/DISENGAGED EMERGENCY BRAKE. EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT NEVER WENT OFF. PULLED INTO PARKING LOT AND TRIED TO STOP WITH THE SAME GRINDING/LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE. PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF IGNITION. STARTED CAR AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF AND BRAKES WORKED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON MULTIPLE WEBSITE THIS IS A PROBLEM MULTITUDES OF NISSAN OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING. I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH THIS IS A DELTA BRAKE SENSOR. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR 04-06 MODELS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING. NISSAN WILL ONLY FIX FOR AROUND 1000.00. *TR

THE BRAKES FAIL, MAKE A GRINDING SOUND...APPARENTLY TURNING THE CAR OFF RESETS THE DELTA S SENSOR. DO A GOOGLE SEARCH ON NISSAN ARMADA AND BRAKE BOOSTER AND YOU WILL FIND MANY PAGES OF THE SAME COMPLAINT. IT HAPPENED INTERMITTANTLY OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL YEARS. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER WITHIN THE PAST YEAR - THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT. CHARGED ME $100 TO CONFIRM WHAT I TOLD THEM - BAD BRAKE BOOSTER, CHANGE DELTA SENSOR. THEY SUGGESTED I CALL NISSAN NORTH AMERICA RE: ANY ACSSITANCE WITH THE 900+ FEE TO FIX IT. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST IN ANY WAY WITH THE COST OF REPAIR. *TR

DRIVING AT 50 MILES PER HOUR AND SUDDENLY THE ABS BRAKES TURNS RED, I TRY TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT MAKES A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND THE BRAKES JUST KEEPS ON HAVING LIKE AN UP AND DOWN PRESSURE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. I ASKED SOME ARMADA OWNERS AND THEY HAVE A SAME PROBLEM . VERY UNSAFE FOR A FAMILY MAN DRIVING KIDS WITH FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS 3 X ALREADY I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT DOWN ENGINE. NHTSA HELP US ! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND NOTICED A VIBRATION AND GRINDING NOISE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS HESITANT TO RESPOND. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE DELTA SENSOR WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES. THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND AND A FLUTTERING FEELING IN THE BRAKES. I USED MY PARKING BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED, FIRST WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO ON HIGHWAY EXIT RAMP (LUCKILY I WAS GOING UP HILL AT THE TIME). ONCE YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF THIS SAME SITUATION HAPPENING TO ARMADA OWNERS WHO HAVE FOUND IT TO BE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. *TR

THE RED BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN NOT PRESSING THE PEDAL.THEN WHEN I TRY TO STOP IT'S AS THOUGH I ONLY HAVE ABS BRAKES. I HEAR THE SOUND OF THE ANTI LOCKS WORKING AND THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS. IT TAKES EXTRA SPACE AND FORCE TO STOP WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THERE IS NO WARNING OTHER THAN THE LIGHT COMING ON. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY WHEN YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. I HAVE ASKED TWO DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERS IF THEY HAVE HEARD OF THE ISSUE AND BOTH HAVE SAID NO WHICH IS ODD CONSIDERING THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF ONLINE POSTS AND A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. HERE IS A LINK TO A YOU TUBE VIDEO OF THE ISSUE. HTTP://YOUTU.BE/JVCRD2LXTI8. *TR
