2007 Nissan Armada

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V074000; HOWEVER, THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

ON JUNE 10TH, 2010 I WAS DRIVING HOME IN THE FAST LANE/ CARPOOL LANE (APPROX 2:15PM) AND MY CAR IMMEDIATELY DECREASE IN ACCELERATION. I KNEW I COULD NOT MAKE IT OVER TO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER AND I HAD TO PULL OFF INTO THE LEFT HAND SHOULDER (THIS WAS VERY UNSAFE) I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WHILE I WAS ON HOLD A HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER PULLED UP BEHIND ME. HE WAS ABLE TO CONTACT ANOTHER PATROL OFFICER AND THEY STOPPED ALL TRAFFIC AND THE FIRST HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER PUSHED ME TO THE RIGHTHAND SHOULDER. THE GAS GAUGE WAS A LITTLE OVER 1/4 TANK. THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED AND TOOK ME TO THE GAS STATION - AFTER PUTTING IN GAS THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT SAID "WOW, ANOTHER NISSAN OUT OF GAS - DO YOU KNOW I GET SO MANY ARMADAS' AND INFINITIES THAT COME IN HERE WITH NO GAS" I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE APPROX 2 MONTHS AGO AND IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP - THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE AND THEY WOULD CALL ME, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP LAST FRIDAY AND AGAIN TODAY - THEY DO NOT EXPECT TO RECEIVE THIS PART FOR ANOTHER 2-3 WEEKS. I CALLED THE NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TODAY AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO - I INFORMED THEM THAT THIS WAS JUST LIKE TOYOTA AND I REQUESTED A RENTAL / LOANER VEHICLE - THEY COULD NOT ACCOMODATE THAT REQUEST. THIS HAS PUT ME IN A TERRIFYING SITUATION. THE WOMAN AT NISSAN CONSUMER TOLD ME TO KEEP MY TANK 1/2 FULL AND I INFORMED HER THAT THEY LETTER I JUST RECEIVED STATED TO KEEP IT AT A 1/4 TANK FULL SO THAT WAS A DISCREPANCY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED YET THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR AN ALIGNMENT UPON EACH FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

MY 2007 NISSAN ARMADA WITH ONLY 32,000 MILES ON IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE BETWEEN 40 TO 60 MPH. AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO UNDER 40 MPH, IT STOPS THE SHIMMY AND SHAKE. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" THAT HAS PLAGUED JEEP IN THE PAST. THE TIRES AND SUSPENSION ARE FACTORY STOCK WITH NO MODIFICATIONS OR AFTERMARKET ITEMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER WHEN BRAKING TO A COMPLETE STOP. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF AT LEAST 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD ABNORMALLY SHAKE. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVEN TIMES AND ONLY ON ONE OCCASION DID THE DEALER REPLACED THE STABILIZER BAR TO CORRECT THE SHAKING OTHERWISE, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000. REMAILED 07/14/2010

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) DROVE 2007 NISSAN ARMADA SE W/ MILEAGE 30,756 AND HAVE NOTICED IN THE MONTHS PRIOR THAT WHEEL SHAKES WHEN COMING TO A STOP BUT THOUGHT THE TRUCK NEEDED ALIGNMENT, GOT IT ALIGNED AND PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED. YESTERDAY 4/10/2010 WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN I GOT TO SUPER TARGET AND AS I WENT INTO THE ENTRANCE AND CAME TO THE STOP SIGN I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN. TRUCK BARELY STOPPED AND MADE A VERY LOUD GRINDING SOUND LIKE THE ABS WAS FAILING. I PULLED OVER AS CUSTOMERS AT THE STORE WERE ALL LOOKING AT MY TRUCK BECAUSE THE NOISE WAS VERY LOUD. ALSO BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. I THEN GOT OUT OF TRUCK AND INSPECTED FOR BRAKE FLUID PROBLEMS AND SUCH AND FOUND NOTHING. I CALLED NISSAN "MAROONE NISSAN OF DELRAY" AT AROUND 1:35PM AND THE SERVICE GUY THERE [XXX] TOLD ME TO TURN TRUCK OFF AND ON. I DID, THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF. WAS ADVISED IT WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM. TRUCK WAS FINE TO DRIVE. I TOLD THEM I WAS NOT DRIVING A DEATH TRAP AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED VIA BLAKES TOWING THROUGH ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. MAROONE NISSAN SAID TRUCK IS 2 WEEKS OUT OF WARRANTY, WILL SEE ABOUT PROBLEM. IF PROBLEM IS FOUND, THEY WILL CONTACT NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WILL FIX IT FOR FREE IF IT'S A BOOSTER BRAKE PROBLEM, IF NOT I WILL JUST HAVE TO DRIVE UNTIL IT ACTS UP. MY BIGGEST FEAR, BRAKES GOING OUT ON HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN, NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP THIS 8K LB. TRUCK AND POSSIBLY DYING OR KILLING SOMEONE BECAUSE MY TRUCK CANT STOP. ONCE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF THE COMPUTER RESETS - NOBODY WOULD EVER KNOW IT WAS THE BRAKES. AND I AM TERRIFIED OF THAT BECAUSE I HAVE (2) SMALL CHILDREN AND A TEENAGER. I DRIVE DAILY. I BEG FOR YOUR HELP GETTING THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED. [XXX] *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN ARMADA WHICH IS CURRENTLY ON A RECALL ON THE FUEL GAUGE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS AND HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE MY FUEL GAUGE TWICE WITHIN THE LAST 2 YEARS. JUST RECENTLY, MY ARMADA FUEL GAUGE START ACTING UP AND THE FUEL LEVEL DOES NOT READ PROPERLY. MY QUESTION IS, HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO TRUST NISSAN WITH THE RECALL SINCE THEY HAVE REPLACED MY GAUGE TWICE ALREADY? LUCKILY THEY ARE FALL WITHIN MY WARRANTY OR ELSE I HAVE TO PAY BIG BUCK FOR REPLACEMENT. I JUST DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE EVEN THOUGH THEY PROMISE TO REPLACE THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR WHICH I HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACE TWICE. IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN RETURN THAT TRUCK TO NISSAN FOR A REPLACEMENT SINCE THEY ARE STILL HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR AFTER REPLACEMENT. IN MY CASE, IT'S TWICE AND GOING TO BE THE THIRD TIME AROUND. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

HAVING ISSUE WITH BRAKES, MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES DOWN ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND I GET THE AWFUL SQUEALING SOUND. MY BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. BUT WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES THIS WEEK. I HAVE SPOKEN TO TWO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AT DIFFERENT TIMES. ALSO I CHECKED AN ONLINE FORUM FOR ARMADA OWNERS (CLUBARMADA.COM) AND THE PROBLEM IS LISTED THEIR ALSO. *TR
