SERVICE BRAKES

115 complaints

Earlier in the year the brake light (some times with slip and ABS) came on the dash and suddenly braking was diminished. There was a horrid grinding sound plus vibration under the pedal. I was on highway 17 (a dangerous mountain freeway in CA) going downhill and it was extremely scary as has a car full of friends kids and hardly any brakes. I braked as much as it would allow, down shifted and pulled to the side (which again if you google that highway people die all the time from idiot drivers/speeders/tight corners). I instinctively turned off the car and got out to check off something had gotten caught in my wheel but nothing. I turned the car on and the problem had gone so drove to the nearest garage but he couldn't find anything wrong. I called Nissan but they said they knew of no problems with breaking systems on the Armada and said to bring it in and pay for an expensive diagnosis. When I got home I googled it and found 100s of similar experiences with all sorts of repairs at Nissan that hadn't worked. Some say brake booster, others sensor, other reset or upgrade hardware. Not one actually fix so far but I did find a couple of lawsuits for the same reason so don't understand how this is not a recall. The second time I was in town so it wasn't too bad but hard to stop at the crossing for a pedestrian and today it went again going back up the mountain but luckily don't need to brake much going in that direction. If it can't be fixed and it involves brakes then surely this is a serious safety violation. I also noticed that others are having a similar problem with newer Armadas with a newly upgraded braking system from Nissan and another lawsuit is on file. How is this being ignored? My car is 20 and I was looking into another Nissan but if they don't stand by and honor their mistakes then I really have no faith in them

Once in awhile when the brakes are applied there is a loud sound that sounds like ache large can being crushed, and the brakes don't work properly. The car sort of lurches to a stop rather than coming to a smooth stop. If the engine is shut off and turned back on nine times out of 10 the brakes will begin to work again but occasionally it takes a few times of restarting the vehicle. I contacted Nissan and they said that they would contact me back and they had a lawyer call me who really just wanted to interrogate me more than offer any kind of solutions or answers. I was able to look up online and see that there is or was a class action lawsuit and that it's a known problem with many Nissan armadas being the master solenoid. This seems to be a continuing safety issue and if someone were to have to come to a quick stop there's no warning that this is going to happen beforehand and would negate any kind of safety stop. This has been going on for many years and is extremely expensive to fix. Which puts it right out for most families to be able to afford fixing this and just having to lope along hoping that it isn't one of those times when the brakes are going to give out in an emergency. Given that Nissan contacted me with a lawyer shows me that they are afraid of what could happen but not yet concerned enough that enough people have died for it to be worth their while cost-wise.

While driving the brake light came on and when I attempted to stop pedal goes almost to the floor and loud grinding noise is heard. I was able to barely stop the vehicle, I then shut off the vehicle, checked around the vehicle as well as engine compartment not finding any noticeable issue. Restarted the vehicle and brake light was off able to stop with no issue and no grinding noise was heard. Mentioned this to dealer when it was brought in for oil change and they indicated that there was no notice of a recall for this issue. They checked the vehicle and could not find any issues. This has happened several more times where brake light goes on, issue with trying to stop and loud grinding noise. The remedy seems to be to get the vehicle stopped, barely, shut off the vehicle, wait for a short moment and then restart the vehicle. This is very concerning if this happens when needing to make an immediate stop as it takes a bit to get the vehicle to stop when this occurs. Nothing in particular is being done while driving to cause this to happen and I have not been able to replicate.

Several times when driving, my brake light will come on and when pressing the brake, it does not engage. When you press on the pedal you hear a loud grinding sound. It does not slow down the vehicle at all and the grinding is loud and seems to be damaging internal parts. When you turn the engine off, and restart it the problem goes away. I have read so many similar issues with 2006 nissan armada about the brake light. How is this not a safety recall especially when I’m on the freeway driving 65 MPH and all of a sudden brake light comes on! I have to pull over safely and hard to do especially when the brake does not engage at all when the light is on. This is a huge safety concern for me due to the fact that I never know when this is going to happen again. What if it happens while I need to come to a quick emergency stop?! This is a major safety concern that needs to be looked into!!

I was driving on the road and my brake light came on and my brakes failed. As I tried to stop my brakes made a grinding spring noise. I turned the car off and after about 3 minutes I restarted and everything was fine. I continue to drive and less than 10 minutes later it did it again. I have went online to look for information and I see that there was a lawsuit about the booster Delta sensor. I called Nissan and they denied this, and I went to the Nissan dealership and they will check it out because they have not seen any recalls on my vehicle for this problem yet online there's a whole lot of customer complaints about this model doing the exact same thing. Here is the Case# 46966578 Nissan gave me to document the call. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.carcomplaints.com/news/2014/nissan-delta-stroke-sensor-brake-lawsuit.shtml&ved=2ahUKEwiW_sjo1rn5AhXiIEQIHVLABjMQFnoECBsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2DxxR2-Vd0tjpN2-V2JVBq

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, PEDAL GOES REAL LOW AND THERE IS A GRINDING SOUND WITH NO BRAKING. SIMULTANEOUSLY THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF ENGINE AND TRUCK RESETS BECAUSE I CAN DRIVE AWAY AS IF NOTHING OCCURRED. HAD CHECKED ONCE AND NOTHING FOUND, THERE ARE NO RECALLS BUT SEVERAL BLOGS AND COMPLAINTS INCLUDED ON THIS SITE FOR SAME ISSUE. NOW DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $927 FOR BOOSTER. I HAVE READ AND FOLLOWED UP ON SOME CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND THIS ACTION DOES NOT FIX PROBLEM. *TR

Jun 19, 2013

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. EVERY 3-6 MONTHS THE BRAKES WILL MAKE A SCARY NOISE (CAN'T REALLY DESCRIBE IT - GRINDING/CLANKING), THE BRAKES WORK AT ABOUT 10% AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT, THE NOISE DISAPPEARS AND THE BRAKES WORK AT 100% ONCE AGAIN. SO FAR IT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN A SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY. IF IT DOES, THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH. I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED ABOUT THIS ONE "SAME" PROBLEM AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT MORE THE CONSUMERS CAN DO, BUT I WILL BE CONTACTING NISSAN AND OTHERS TO SEE WHAT MORE CAN BE DONE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND I GO TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND MY BRAKES MADE SHUTTERING AND CLANGING NOISES. THEN I NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO STOP I HEARD THAT NOISE AND HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING I ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS ABOUT 20 MILES FROM THE DEALER SO I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHT ON AND DROVE ON THE FAR LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE BETWEEN 10 TO 30 MILES/HR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC UNTIL I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE I GOT TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM. HE SEEMED TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE HE HAD EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER CALLED ME TO EXPLAIN THAT THE DELTA SENSOR INSIDE THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED AND IT WOULD COST ME OVER $900.00. *JS

Mar 21, 2012

AS I WAS DRIVING AT STOP AND GO TRAFFIC SPEEDS OF 25 MPH OR LESS, MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A SPONGY FEELING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AS WELL AS A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO SEARS AND THEY DID A BRAKE INSPECTION (MECHANICAL) AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. PAID FOR A BRAKE INSPECTION AND THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE PADS BUT I HAD RECENTLY INSPECTED BRAKES AT ANOTHER SHOP THAT DID NOT RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT. ON 2/28/12, SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, INSPECTED BRAKE FLUID (SAT) AND STARTED THE ENGINE BACK UP WITH NO SIGNS OF FAILURE. TOOK VEHICLE TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC AND CODE READER FOUND C1179 DELTA STROKE SENSOR FAULT. HE RESET IT AND PROBLEM HAS SINCE GONE AWAY BUT I AM WEARY OF BRAKE RELIABILITY IN THE FUTURE. *TR

WHEN SUDDENLY WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE NISSAN ARMADA STARTED VIBRATING AND WE HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN MY HUSBAND LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD BROKEN OFF COMPLETELY WITH OUT ANY WARNING. THE DRIVE SHAFT DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE MUFFLER THE EXHAUST AND ANOTHER THING I DONT KNOW THE NAME. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THE TRUCK DIDN'T FLIP OVER. I CALLED NISSAN LETTING THEM KNOW OF THIS ISSUE THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL GET BACK TO ME ON MONDAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ALL DRIVE SHAFTS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED FREE. MY HUSBAND ALREADY REPLACED OURS BUT JUST THE COST OF ALL THE REPAIRS IS WELL OVER 2000 DOLLARS WHICH IN MY OPINION NISSAN CORP SHOULD BE PAYING FOR.

WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT NISSAN DID EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE ON SOME 2006 ARMADAS TO 80,000 MILES, HOWEVER THE TIME PERIOD HAD BEEN TOO LONG FOR OUR CAR TO BE COVERED. I CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD HELP US WITH, AND WERE NOT EVEN WILLING TO TELL ME IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF VEHICLE.

ENGINE STALLS. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLS. THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR WHEN COASTING, ACELLERATING OR BRAKING AND CAUSES DANGER AS I WAS UNABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER FROM THE LEFT AND MIDDLE LANE OF TRAFFIC, OR ON THE FREEWAY. OCCURS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. RESEARCH SHOWS A FAULTY ECM WITH SILICONE DIOXIDE BUILD UP ON THE ECM SENSOR CONTACT INSIDE THE IPDM.

I HAD MY MOM, AUNT AND 2 SMALL KIDS IN THE TRUCK WE WERE ON THE WAY TO DROP MY MOM OFF AT HER HOME. ONCE I PULLED UP IN FRONT OF HER HOUSE WE NOTICED THE TRUCK SMOKING. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD. I OBSERVED WIRES BURNING FROM THAT POINT I CLOSED THE HOOD SO THAT THE VEHICLE COULD COOL OFF. I THEN WALKED MY MOM TO HER FRONT DOOR AS I WALKED BACK TO MY VEHICLE I OBSERVED MY TRUCK ON FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY RUSHED TO THE VEHICLE AND GOT MY KIDS AND AUNT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND RESPONDED WITHIN 7 MINUTES. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED MY TRUCK WAS IN FULL FLAMES. *TR

I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN A GRINDING/SPRINGY SOUND CAME OUT FROM UNDER AND THE :BRAKE" LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WOULD GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT WOULD NOT STOP, LUCKILY I WAS ON A FLAT ROAD SO IT DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A SAFE SPOT AND USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKES TO GET THERE. IF I WERE GOING AT A HIGH SPEED, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. YOU CAN REPLACE A CAR, BUT YOU CAN'T REPLACE A PERSON. I HAVE AN 8 MONTH OLD BABY WHO NEEDS ME. MY BROTHER IN LAW IS A MECHANIC FOR ALL TYPES OF CARS AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS, HE TOLD ME THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ARMADAS (04-07). MINE IS AN 06. AT THIS POINT I HAVE TO KEEP TURNING OFF MY CAR AND BACK ON TO RESTART SOME COMPUTER? I AM NOT GOOD WITH CARS. IF THIS HAPPENS AT A HIGH SPEED AND I CAN'T STOP BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE IT IS ON YOUR HANDS.YOU KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, YET DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS ARMADA IS A DEATHTRAP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY BROTHER IN LAW SUSPECTS IT IS THE ABS,VDC,BRAKE MALFUNCTION. I WAS SPEAKING TO SOMEONE ELSE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THEY SAID THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON THEIR, AND ONCE WHEN A LIGHT TURN RED AND HE TRIED TO STOP HE COULDN'T AND ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE?

IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE BRAKES WERE NOT GONNA STOP THE VEHICLE IN TIME, SWERVED OVER HIT THE CURB TO AVOID ACCIDENT. HAD VEHICLE TOWED, VDC. ANTI SLIP & BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED AT THIS TIME. PAID TOW BILL, PAID DEALER TO: REPLACE BRAKE BOOSTER, WHEEL SENSORS, BRAKE PADS, ROTORS AND TWO TIMES FOR LABOR RATE TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE ISSUE. AFTER DEALER FAILED TO ADMIT THERE WAS AN ISSUE, BUT CONTINUED TO JUST REPLACE PARTS. I FINALLY CARRIED IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, HE EXPLAINED NISSAN HAS AN ISSUE THAT THEY ARE NOT RECALLING. THE ONLY TEMPORARY RESOLUTION IS TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY WHEN IT APPEARS. SADLY, I FEEL NISSAN HAS PROFITED FROM THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS RELYING ON THE DEALERSHIPS KNOWLEDGE THAT HAS NOT BEEN INFORMED BY NISSAN MFG. OF HOW TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT, IT WILL STOP DOING IT. THE VEHICLES BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, AND BRAKE BOOSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IT STILL CONTINUES TO DO IT. THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY TO THIS OCCURRING. IT DOES THIS PERIODICALLY WITH THE SAME RESULT. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM INVOLVING NISSAN ARMADAS NATIONWIDE WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS BEING REPORTED ON THE INTERNET ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS ARE DESCRIBED THE SAME WAY. IN FACT I RECEIVED A NOTICE ON A CLASS ACTION SUITE BEING FILED AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WORK FOR NHTSA AND ATTEMPTED TO DISCUSS THIS PROBLEM WITH ODI TO NO AVAIL.

HOW MANY COMPLAINTS AND OR HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO BE INVOLVED IN CRASHES, INJURIES, AND/OR DEATHS BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. THE INCIDENT DESCRIBED IS ONE EVENT AMONG MANY. IT HAS ALSO OCCURRED ON THE INTERSTATE AT MUCH HIGHER SPEEDS. THE ONLY WAY TO CLEAR IT IS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND CRANK IT BACK UP AGAIN.

ON APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 24, 2013 I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET HEADING TO THE STORE. WHEN APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON AND I HAD SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING POWER, WITH A GRINDING NOISE, LOOSE BRAKING MOTION. THE BRAKE PEDAL ACTUALLY WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR PANEL. I WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH I HAD APPROXIMATELY 70-80% REDUCED BRAKING POWER. IMAGINE HOW SCARY IT WAS TO TRY AND STOP A 6,000LBS VEHICLE WITH ONLY 20% OF YOUR NORMAL BRAKING POWER. I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND PROBLEM WAS GONE WHEN I RESTARTED. I TOOK IT IN TO MY MECHANIC, WHO ATTEMPTED TO SEE THE PROBLEM FOR HIMSELF. HOWEVER, IT DID NOT REPEAT THE SAME SYMPTOMS. THEREFORE, HE COULDN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. A FEW DAYS LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WENT IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MY MECHANIC SO THAT HE COULD SEE THE PROBLEM FOR HIMSELF. UNFORTUNATELY, HE WASN'T IN BUT ONE OF HIS EMPLOYEES TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE. SINCE I DIDN'T TURN OFF THE VEHICLE THIS TIME, HE WAS ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE TROUBLE I WAS HAVING. I RETURNED TO MY MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND HE ADVISED ME THAT I SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN TO FIND OUT IF IT'S A RECALL ITEM SINCE HIS RESEARCH SHOWED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I HAVE ALREADY SENT INQUIRIES THROUGH THE NISSAN WEBSITE. HOWEVER, NO RESPONSE HAS BEEN GIVEN. I HAVE HAD RE-OCCURRENCES ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THE FREQUENCY HAS BEEN INCREASING. AS A MATTER OF FACT, AS OF RECENTLY, NOW ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD GO ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THEN I LOSE BRAKING POWER. I USE MY VEHICLE FOR WORK. THIS COULD BECOME A REAL ISSUE.

I BOUGHT MY NISSAN ARMADA BRAND NEW IN 2007. IT IS A 2006 MODEL. THE VEHICLE IS VERY STYLISH BUT IT IS LIKE A DEATH TRAP. WHEN THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY RAN OUT @ 36,000 MILES, MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE. EVERY YEAR I HAVE HAD TO GET BRAKES PUT ON THE ARMADA AND IT HAS TO BE NISSAN BRAKES BECAUSE I TRIED OTHER BRAKES AND THEY SQUEAL AND GRIND. NOW I HAVE AN RATHER SCARY SITUATION. I WAS DRIVING 25MPH AND PUT MY BRAKES ON AND MY SUV STARTED NOSE DIVING IN THE FRONT END AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, NOT TO MENTION, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WAS CATCHING AND RELEASING ABOUT 4 TIMES, EACH TIME I WOULD BRAKE. I ALMOST HIT A CAR. I DROVE IT TO A MECHANIC RIGHT THEN, AND THEY RAN SCAN ON THE BRAKE CODE SINCE THE LIGHT CAME ON DURING THIS EVENT. THE CODE IS C1179. APPARENTLY THIS IS A DEALER ISSUE. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE ARMADA FROM AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE ABS SYSTEM. REALLY? THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE? I HAVE READ SEVERAL REVIEWS AND THEY ARE ARE HAVING ABS ISSUES. COME ON NISSAN, HOW MANY LIVES HAVE TO BE LOST OR INJURED BEFORE YOU RECALL THIS ABS PROBLEM? WHY WOULD THEY CHARGE CONSUMERS $120 FOR A COMPUTER UPDATE TO THE SYSTEM IF IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT... THE OTHER ISSUES ARE: DRIVERS SIDE SEAT IS RIPPING, POOR MATERIAL, THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR MAT IS SLIDING UNDER THE DRIVER PEDAL, THE BLIND SPOT IS A SEVERE ISSUE ON THE LEFT DRIVERS SIDE, PAINT CHIPS EASILY, BAD GAS MILEAGE, RADIATOR LEAKS, STRUT IS BAD ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SIDE, WHICH IS CAUSING IT TO LEAK ON THE PAVEMENT WHEN PARKED. *KB

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELL TO THE FLOOR. WE HAD NO BRAKING POWER AT ALL. I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES ALREADY AND THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD!!!!! ONE OF TIMES IT HAPPENED AT 40 MPH WHAT IF I CANT STOP THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS WHO IS GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. *KB

1 complaint

SAFETY ISSUE WITH DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR MAT ON A NISSAN ARMADA. THE GROMMET THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE FLOOR MAT IN PLACE RIPPED AND NOW THE FLOOR MAT NO LONGER STAYS IN PLACE. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO CALL NISSAN USA, WHICH I DID. THEY SAID B/C MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY CAN'T REPLACE THE FLOOR MAT. THIS IS AN ISSUE B/C THE FLOOR MAT KEEPS SLIDING TOWARDS THE FOOT PEDALS AND COULD GET TRAPPED THERE, THUS LIMITING MY BREAKING ABILITY. *TR

1 complaint

DRIVING MY 2006 ARMADA, AND WHEN I WENT TO STOP, THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER. I SLOWED TO A STOP AND HAD TO TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND BACK ON AND THE NOISE AND GRINDING WAS GONE. DROVE IT ABOUT 1 MILE AND WENT TO SLOW DOWN FOR A TURN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE GRINDING NOISE. ONCE AGAIN, THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK, IT WENT AWAY AGAIN. WHY ISN'T ANYTHING BEING DONE FOR THESE 2006 ARMADAS BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN QUITE FREQUENTLY AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THEY CAN'T GET STOPPED IN TIME! *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

1 complaint

2006 NISSAN ARMADA VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND BRAKES FAILED. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED AS I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT, FLAT STREET AT ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR. PRESSING THE BRAKES CAUSES A LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE ON THE FRONT THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE BRAKES BEING CHEWED UP. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT FOUR TIMES IN ABOUT A 6-MONTH PERIOD BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECENT RECALLS ON THE FUEL AND SOME UNDER THE VEHICLE PROBLEM. SINCE THAT TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURS CONSTANTLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY RAN TEST 59637 WHICH SHOWED CODE C1189 BOOSTER DEFECT. IT ALSO STATES THAT IS "UNSAFE TO DRIVE." I COULD NOT AFFORD A $1,200.00 REPAIR JOB SO THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD REPROGRAM IT TO SEE IF THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND IT DID NOT. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD ALREADY RUN OUT. I COMPLAINED BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BECAUSE I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY OTHER NISSAN ARMADA OWNERS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. BY THE WAY, THIS IS MY 5TH NISSAN VEHICLE AND I HAD NEVER HAD ANY JUST MAJOR PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT IF YOU OWN A VEHICLE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED PERIODICALLY. BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. *TR

1 complaint

I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY WITH MY 3 KIDS IN THE CAR AND THE VDC SLIP AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NO WHERE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND I BROUGH THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AFTER PAYING FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSIS IT THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO CCOME ON SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I WOULD TAKE IT IN AND THEY WOULD SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG. ONE PARTICULAR DAY I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 3 KIDS AND I WENT TO STOP AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO DO A PULSING ACTION AND SOUNDED AS THOUGH THEY WERE GRINDING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I STARTED TO CRY AND PANIC BECAUSE I HAD ALL OF MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO SO I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND LET THE CAR ROLL AND JUST PULLED AWAY FROM TRAFFIC AS MUCH AS I COULD. FINALLY I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I HIT THE BREAKS AND EMERGENCY BREAK TO MAKE IT STOP. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND WAS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE AFTER THAT SO I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ASKED IF I COULD BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY. ONCE AT THE DEALER I WAS TOLD AGAIN NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT MY BRAKES WERE FINE AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME 2 MORE TIMES AND STILL NO ONE SEEMS TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND EACH TIME I PRESS ON THEM I AM TERRIFIED THAT THE CAR IS NOT GONNA STOP. THE BRAKES ALWAYS FEEL AS THOUGH THEY AREN'T GONNA STOP AND THEY HAVE AN UNEASY FEELING WHEN YOU PRESS THEM. I CANNOT CLAIM THE CAR AS A LEMON BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT USED WITH 29,000 MILES WHICH IS NOT ALOT. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR THE NISSAN ARMADA BECAUSE MY CAR DID NOT HAVE ALOT OF MILES WHEN THIS STARTED AND IT IS STILL HAVING ISSUES.

RECURRING, INTERMITTENT BRAKE ISSUE WITH 2006 NISSAN ARMADA OFF ROAD SE. PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON RESULTING IN SEVERE SHUDDERING IN THE VEHICLE THAT IS MORE PRONOUNCED DURING BRAKING. BRAKING CAPABILITY IS REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY RESULTING IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, PARTICULARLY DUE TO THE TRANSIENT NATURE OF THE ISSUE. VEHICLE MUST BE TURNED OFF TO RESET CONDITION. NISSAN DEALERSHIP TRIED REPROGRAMMING VDC TO FIX WHICH DID NOT WORK. NOW THEY ARE LOOKING AT REPLACING BRAKE BOOST ACTUATOR. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMMON IN 2004 AND LATER MODEL ARMADAS. *TR
