2004 Nissan Armada

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

I HAVE A NISSAN ARMADA 04, IT HAS A PROBLEM IN THE AUTO TRANS. I TOOK IT FOR REPAIR AND TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PART THAT WAS UPDATED AND THAT IS WHY THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS ENTERING AN INTERSECTION. I THOUGHT THAT A RECALL IS INTENDED TO GET CARS WITH ISSUES LIKE THIS OFF THE ROAD. HOW EASY TO CALL THE PART UPDATED NOT RECALLED DUE TO POSSIBLE DEATH OR INJURY. NOW NOT ONLY AM I PAYING FOR NISSAN CORP MISTAKES BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER OWNERS WHO TRUST IN THE SAFETY OF A NAME BRAND AND NOT TO MENTION A $40,000.00 SUV. HOW CAN I FIGHT TO CHANGE THIS..... *TR

THE DEALER WAS ONLY ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS. THE FAILURE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION AS SOON AS IT WAS RECOGNIZED.

THIS A COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA SE WHICH CURRENTLY HAS 23K MILES. IT STARTED ON 9/7/05, WHILE DRIVING OVER THE SPEEDS OF 55 MPH, WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THEY LOCK UP & DON'T WORK. THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE BRAKES CAME ON THE DASH. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER & THEY STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE ROTORS WERE OUT OF ROUND. THEY REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS & PADS, THEY ALSO TURNED THE REAR ROTORS & REPLACED THE REAR PADS. THIS WAS ON 9/7/05. ON 4/21/07 WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY MY BRAKES & THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK & THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH & ON THE SAME DAY, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER & THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ON THE VEHICLE & THEY FOUND THAT ONE OF THE CODES HAD AN ERROR. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ON 3/17/08, I WAS DRIVING & I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY MY BRAKES, WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED, THE EMERGENCY BRAKES DID NOT WORK & THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ON THE DASH. ONCE AGAIN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, I ADVISED THEM AT THE DEALER THAT THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME I HAD BEEN THERE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THEY ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, IN WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS TIME THEY SAID THAT IT WAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE & THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED & THAT THIS MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED BY THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE THIS PROBLEM. OF COURSE, THIS RESOLUTION WAS NOT OFFERED OR ADVISED IN MY PREVIOUS VISITS AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID UNDER THE WARRANTY. CONVENIENTLY, I WAS TOLD ABOUT THIS AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED & AFTER PAYING $1,000.00 OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX. THESE VEHICLES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD TO HAVE ON THE ROAD & YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE BRAKES ARE GOING TO FAIL. *TR
