2004 Nissan Armada

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES FOR REPAIR. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS TAKEN TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPAIRED FOR MAKING GRINDING NOISES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE WAS USING THE WRONG BRAKES. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, THE PRESSURE GOES DOWN AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATES. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER CANNOT LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000. UPDATED 05/08/09. *LJ THE RIGHT SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED. UPDATED 05/11/09.*JB

I OWN A 2004 ARMADA I BEEN HAVING MANY PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES IT HAPPENS A FEW TIMES DRIVING THE CAR STARTS TO FEEL SO HEAVY Y SLOWING DOWN SO I STOPPED AND THE FRONT BRAKES WHERE SO SO HOT AND SMELLING BURN WITH SMOG SO AFTER THAT HAPPENS TO ME LIKE 4 TIMES THIS PAST MONDAY THE CALIPER FELL OFF AND THE DEALER PEOPLE SAID THE RECALL IS NOT FOR THIS TRUCK? *TR

MY WIFE HAS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA AND I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. BOTH VEHICLES HAVE HAD A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE ABS SYSTEM TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH. THE SYMPTOMS ARE A GRINDING NOISE FORM THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON, AND INEFFICIENT STOPPING POWER NO MATTER THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE EXERTED ON THE PEDAL. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING, THE SYMPTOMS DISAPPEAR. THE COMPUTER DOES NOT RECORD ANY FAILURE CODE AND THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT NISSAN HAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN THAT SPECIFIES TO REPROGRAM THE VEHICLE COMPUTER BUT IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE PROBLEM WILL NOT RECUR. NEITHER IS THIS PROCEDURE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY OF THE VEHICLE. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM IN NISSAN INTERNET FORUMS AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM AS I WAS ABLE TO FIND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THE SAME. I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT DOES AFFECT THE STOPPING ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE, AND ALMOST ASSURES AN ACCIDENT IF THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING AT ANYTHING MORE THAN PARKING LOT SPEEDS. *TR

MY BRAKE WARNING LIGHT IS OR WAS ON, AND/OR THE ABS WARNING LIGHT IS OR WAS ON, AND THERE IS A VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE BRAKING. I HAD LITTLE OR NO BRAKING POWER. I HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE THANK GOD I WAS GOING FAST. USUALLY THIS OCCURS AS I START UP THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE ISSUE I WOULD STOP THE CAR AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I WOULD RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON AND THE BRAKE NOISES WERE GONE AS WELL. PLEASE HELP! *TR

I HAVE BROUGHT MY NISSAN ARMANDA 2004 4X4 LE IN SEVERAL TIMES AFTER RESEARCHING SEVERAL WEB-SITES THE BRAKES, ROTORS AND ABS SENSORS ARE A CONSTANT ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. TO THIS DATE MY DEALER CAN NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THIS BRAKE ISSUES OCCURS WHILE DRIVING WITH NO NOTIFICATION UNTIL YOU TRY TO STOP. *TR

THE BRAKES ON MY NISSAN ARMADA INTERMITTENTLY GO OUT. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN PUSHING HARD ON THE BRAKES TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND PRESS THE E-BRAKE A COUPLE OF TIMES THEN RELEASE IT. THE PROBLEM HAS ALMOST KILLED ME TWICE, BUT LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY BOTH TIMES. I HAVE BROUGHT THE PROBLEM TO MY MECHANIC WHO HAS GRINDED DOWN THE ROTORS AND REPLACED THE BRAKES, BUT TO NO AVAIL THE PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURRING. SO FAR WE HAVE LOST OUR BRAKES IN THIS MAMMOTH VEHICLE ABOUT 5 TIMES. *TR

THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND NOT ON A REGULAR BASIS. SOMETIMES ONCE A WEEK OTHER TIMES TWICE A WEEK. WHEN YOU BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP BE IT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, IT DOES STOP THE VEHICLE NO PROBLEM, BUT UPON TAKING YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND TRYING TO DRIVE AWAY, THE BRAKES WILL NOT RELEASE. IF YOU TRY AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT MAKES ALL KINDS OF NOISE AND WILL BARELY MOVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES, THAT I LEARNED HOW TO GET THE BRAKES TO RELEASE. UPON THIS HAPPENING, YOU PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, WAIT A MINUTE AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKES ARE FINE. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, AND OF COURSE THEY ALWAYS SAY " WE CANNOT NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM". I KNOW THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE I BELONG TO A FORUM FOR NISSAN ARMADA'S CALL CLUB ARMADA. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE, YET NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND IT SCARES ME TO THINK WHAT THESE BRAKES MIGHT DO. NISSAN NEVER AGAIN! *TR
