2004 Nissan Armada

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 3 CHILDREN, SUDDENLY THE VDC AND SLIP LIGHTS CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE BRAKE LIGHT. WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW AROUND A CURVE AND USE THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN I HEARD AND FELT A GRINDING SENSATION UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE. LUCKILY, I MANAGED TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHERE I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE SYSTEM RESET. *TR

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE 35 MPH SLOWED DOWN TO GO AROUND SHARP CURVE. WHEN VEHICLE DROVE AROUND CURVE THERE WERE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF US THAT STOPPED SUDDENLY. APPLIED BRAKES AND PEDAL PULSED AND REQUIRED ALOT OF EFFORT TO SLOW DOWN. WAS UNABLE TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN FAST ENOUGH AND REAR ENDED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US. CAUSED A 3 CAR PILEUP. THE 3 PASSENGERS IN OUR 04 ARMADA SUFFERED WHIPLASH, THE DRIVER SPRAINED HER WRIST AND WAS OUT OF WORK FOR 3 DAYS BECAUSE OF ACCIDENT. THE NISSAN ARMADA WAS TOTALED AND HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE BRAKES NOT WORKING CORRECTLY IS WHAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP AND CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MODERATE BRUISING ACROSS THE CHEST DUE TO THE SEAT BELT. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE LOST MOST OF ITS BRAKING POWER. THE PEDAL WENT SOFT AND BEGAN PULSATING WITH A GRINDING NOISE. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. IT ACTED AS THOUGH THE ABS SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED. THE BRAKE SYSTEM STAYED IN THE FAILED MODE UNTIL I COULD PULL OVER AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND THE COMPUTER WOULD RESET ITSELF. *TR

I HAVE ISSUES WITH MY BRAKES ON A FREQUENT BASIS. SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR, I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO SEVERAL NISSAN DEALERS. WHEN MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD ALSO GET THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY NISSAN THAT UNLESS THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP THEN THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HEAR A LOUD GRINDING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO WORK IS IF TURN OFF THE TRUCK WHILE CRUISING AND TURN IT BACK ON WHILE CRUISING AND IT FIXES THE ISSUE AND I AM ABLE TO STOP FINE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN BEFORE AND THEY FAILED TO HELP ME. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN. THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE. THE NISSAN ARMADA 2004 WAS THE FIRST ARMADA MODEL, WHICH THIS ISSUE IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT IS IMPACTING HUNDREDS OF CAR OWNERS. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY, SINCE BRAKES IS LIFE THREATENING. *TR

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. IT COULD HAPPEN ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH AND THEN NOT AT ALL FOR THE NEXT MONTH. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE TRUCK WHILE CRUISING AND TURN IT BACK ON WHILE CRUISING AND IT FIXES THE ISSUE AND I AM ABLE TO STOP FINE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN BEFORE AND THEY FAILED TO HELP ME. THROUGH HUNDREDS OF POSTS OF ARMADA OWNER WITH THE SAME ISSUE IT SEEM TO BE THE BRAKE BOOSTER IN WHICH AN BE UP TO 1500$ TO FIX. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS FIX AND IT SEEM THAT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. WERE TALKING ABOUT BRAKES. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND AM VERY CONCERNED. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS REPAIR - THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 20 TIMES. *TR
