2008 Nissan Armada

The gauge can indicate that the vehicle has 1/2 tank of gas 153miles remaining until empty when in fact the tank is nearly empty. While driving on highway my 2 children, my daughter friend and myself the vehicle began to drag, I was like oh my God it feels like it's going to cut off. I immediately had a anxiety attack trying to figure out what was happening because no warning lights came on in which had me panic even more. I tried to calm down and get off to side of roadway at least before it did shut off. As soon as I started to drive off to side it shut off I tried to give it gas nothing and the steering wheel had tighten up(no power)so now we was rolling and I'm trying my hardest to steer so we wouldn't hit anything. It was the most scariest moment of my life and my life flashed in front of me and praying no trucks came flying. I proceeded to call AAA they asked my location and if we was in a safe area, did it run out of gas, etc.... They said they will dispatch a tow truck and also tell them to being gas just in case. I said it's by 1/2 tank and say it's 153 miles til empty, they said sometimes those gauge don't work, I said the digital fuel as well would be off. Well the tow truck came check fluids, batteries and nothing was wrong he put the gas and it started. This is very dangerous for this gauge to be broken and not operating correctly because it just shut off and had me and my children and friend was in a deadly accident due to a [XXX] malfunction from a defaulted gas reader. What would you people tell our families oh we sorry. This is a serious serious deadly problem that needs to be addressed immediately.  Another problem is the suspension and tires. I had everything checked and thought I needed a wheel alignment and I still notice when I hit a bump I'm the road the entire truck swerve. The digital tire air pressure gauge inside car on screen is off and not reading either. The either electrical system is off if you ask me. I hope that someone contact me INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM

BRAKES ARE OUT SMELLING GAS AIR SUSPENSION JUST MAKES NOISE REAR DOOR STOPED WORKINGHORN STOPPED WORKING AIR IS OUT STOPED WORKING THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS OUT THERE IS BRAKE FLUID IN BUT BREAKS STILL NOT WORKING DON'T NEED ANY BREAKERS GEARS GETS STUCK AIRBAGS NOT WORKING I WAS DRIVINGWHEN THE BREAKS WENT HAD TO RUN IN A DITCH AN WHEN I MAKE LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS THAT'S WHEN I SMELL GAS AN THE HEAT WORKS BUT THE AIR STOP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY TO RESTRAIN, BUCKLE, AND RELEASE FROM THE BUCKLE. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR INTERMITTENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V449000 (SEAT BELTS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE TO DETERMINE IF THEY MAY BE ABLE TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE BRAKES EFFECTIVENESS IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED, BY AS MUCH AS 60%, AND IT MAKES A POPPING AND SPRING NOISE. WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, IT MAKES A GRINDING SOUND. YOU MUST PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF, PUMP THE BREAKS AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. YOU MAY HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF/ON SEVERAL TIMES. I'VE PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO VARIOUS MECHANICS TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. IT GOES ALONG FINE FOR AWHILE, AND THEN THE PROBLEM REPEATS ITSELF. IT'S INTERMITTENT AND VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO, THE SUSPENSION MAKES A POPPING NOISE WHEN YOU GO OVER A DIP IN THE ROAD OR MAKE A SHARP TURN. THESE ARE EVIDENTLY KNOWN DEFECTS AND ALTHOUGH I DID GET A RECALL NOTICE FROM NISSAN, WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN, THEY SPENT 20 MINUTES LOOKING AT IT AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I'M RECORDING THIS NOTIFICATION SO IT CAN BE ADDED TO THE MANY COMPLAINTS I'VE FOUND REGARDING BOTH OF THESE KNOWN ISSUES. AT WHAT POINT IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE FOR THE CONSUMERS?? IF THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, I'M IN!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, HE NOTICED A THUMPING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WELDING SEPARATED AND AS A RESULT, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10E019000 (SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,398.

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN OUT OF GARAGE AT LOW SPEED. SUDDENLY, THERE WAS A CLUNK AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNING SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS. UPON INSPECTION, THE FRONT PASSENGER TIE ROD HAD DIS-ATTACHED ITSELF FROM THE WHEEL, RESULTING IN NO STEERING CONTROL OF THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 25 MPH, SERIOUS/FATAL ACCIDENT AND INJURY WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKELY. THIS IS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION OF THE SYSTEM WITH NO PRIOR WARNING SIGNS. NISSAN DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IS NOT THE RESULT OF ANY OWNER FAULT. *TR

NISSAN ARMADA VEHICLES WITH A FACTORY TOW PACKAGE INCLUDE SELF-LEVELING REAR SUSPENSION. THE SYSTEM IS COMPRISED OF AIR-LEVELED SHOCKS AND AN AIR COMPRESSOR. THE SYSTEM LEAKS, CAUSING THE AIR PRESSURE TO DROP AT SPEED, WITH OR WITHOUT LOADS, AND WHEN PARKED AND TURNED OFF. IT CAUSES THE REAR END TO BE SOFT AND HANDLE POORLY, WHICH, WHEN TOWING, IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE LOAD LEVYING SYSTEM ON THE NISSAN ARMADA. I OWN A 2008 ARMADA AND THE REAR SHOCKS WERE REPLACED SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE BECAUSE OF THE LOSE OF AIR. THE AIR LINES HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AT DIFFERENT DEALERS BECAUSE OF LEAKS. IN JAN. OF 2011 ANOTHER AIR LINE WAS REPLACED AND 2 WEEKS LATER I BLEW AN AIR SHOCK 750 MILES FROM HOME. ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER SHOCK WAS REPLACED AND NOW I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, THE SYSTEM WILL NOT HOLD AIR AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TOWING. PLEASE NOTE THE MILEAGE, MPH AND DATE ARE FOR THE NEXT TO LAST FAILURE. THE LATEST FAILURE HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ALSO NOTE THIS IS A COMPANY OWNED UNIT. *TR
