2004 Nissan Armada

LEFT FRONT WHEEL, TIRE, DISK BRAKE ASSEMBLY, PLUS CALIPER AND BRAKE DISK DETACHED FROM VEHICLE WHILE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING APPROX 60 MPH ON RTE 8 IN CONN. TRUCK SPUN INTO THE MEDIAN GUARD RAIL AND I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO GET IT STOPPED. INSPECTION OF THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WELL REVEALED THAT THE TIE ROAD TO THAT WHEEL ASSEMBLY HAD COMPLETELY SEVERED ITSELF--AS IF YOU WERE SLICING INTO A CAKE WITH A KNIFE. . WE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN BOTH KILLED. I WANT YOU TO RESEARCH WHETHER THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS 2004 ARMADA OF WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. PLEASE RESPOND TO [XXX] THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AT RANDOM TIMES, USUALLY WHEN TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE BRAKE LIGHT DISPLAYS ON THE DASH AND IMMEDIATELY THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK APPROPRIATELY. THE BRAKE PEDAL SINKS TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED WHILE MAKING A LOUD GROANING/GRINDING SOUND. THE BRAKES FAIL. I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR BY PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL, TURNING OFF THE MOTOR AND THEN ONCE AUTO RESTARTS THE PROBLEM IS GONE UNTIL NEXT TIME. VERY DANGEROUS. AT HIGHER SPEEDS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURY OR DEATH. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON EXPRESSWAY. HAPPENED IN PARKING LOTS AND ON SIDE STREETS. FRIGHTENING SITUATION. DEALERS ACT IGNORANT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM EVEN THO THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND IT IS THE ABS BOOSTER THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. OTHERS SAID IT IS THE COMPUTER. I SPENT 4 HOURS 2 WKS AGO AT DEALER WHO "FOUND NOTHING." YET THE SITUATION HAS INCREASED FRON A FEW TIMES A YEAR TO 3 TIMES THIS WEEK.

MY NISSAN ARMADA ONLY HAS 67K MILES ON IT LIKE BRAND NEW IT ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST LOST ALL POWER I DROVE IT THE NIGHT BEFORE NO ISSUES THEN THE NEXT MORNING THERE WERE 3 LIGHTS ON WHICH WERE THE VDC, SLIP, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ALSO, THE TRUNK ON THE VEHICLE DOESNT UNLOCK WHEN YOU HIT THE BUTTON NEITHER DOES THE GLASS LIFT DOOR I HAVE TO CLIMB IN THRU THE VEHICLE GET INSIDE THE TRUNK AND TAKE COVER OFF OF THE EMERGENCY RELEASE AND HOLD DOWN LEVER WHILE SOMEONE FROM THE OUTSIDE OPENS THE DOOR FOR ME WHILE IM INSIDE HOLDING THE LEVER DOWN. THE LOSS OF POWER IS THE MAIN ISSUE HERE WHAT IF I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE OR SOMETHING AND THAT HAPPENED.

I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AROUND 60MPH ON A SUDDEN BRAKE PADDLE GOT SOFT BRAKES LIGHT ABS LIGHT EVERYTHING CAME ON DASHBOARD.WHENEVER I PRESSED THE BRAKE IT FEELS LIKE NOT PRESSING ANYTHING BUT THE BRAKE WAS STILL WORKING BUT NOT SMOOTH.. IT'S LIKE U PRESSING HARD BRAKE EVERY TIME. BUT WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK EVERYTHING DISAPPEARED FROM DASHBOARD N BRAKE PADDLE STARTED WORKING NORMALLY. SO WHENEVER IT WAS HAPPENING I WAS KEEP RESTARTING THE TRUCK . SO I I WENT TO FIRESTONE THEY SAID I NEED TO CHANGE MASTER CYLINDER FLASH THE BRAKE FLUID ROTORS N PADS ALL WAY AROUND WHICH COST ME ALMOST 1500$ . ONCE THEY DID THOSE SERVICES AFTER COUPLE OF MONTHS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING AGAIN. NOW FIRESTONE SAID IT'S ABS PROBABLY. I LOOKED ONLINE LOTS OF HAD SAME THIS UNKNOWN PROBLEM N IT'S DANGEROUS.. IT'S POINTI ON ITS RELIABILITY .. I CAN'T EVEN SELL THE TRUCK CZ I DON'T WANT TO PUT ANYONE'S LIFE IN DANGER SO PLZ I REALLY THIS IT'S NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE BY DEALER . THANK YOU

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 2-3 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED, LUNGED FORWARD, AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,775.

I'VE MADE SOME RESEARCH AND I'M SURPRISED TO FIND OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. SOMETIMES WITHOUT NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AS YOU TRY TO BRAKE YOU HEAR A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND LOOSE BRAKING POWER. I PULL OVER TURN OFF THE TRUCK FOR A FEW SECONDS, TURN IT BACK ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES AWAY. IT WORKS GOOD AFTER THAT BUT SOMETIMES I GET THE SAME PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGH OUT THE DAY. IT GETS SCARY WHEN TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPS AND THAT HAPPENS. NISSAN SHOULD REALLY MAKE A RECALL ON THIS.

ON SUDDEN BRAKE N BATTERY SIGN COMES UP N STOP BRAKE STOPS WORKINBRG .. ONCE RESTART ALL SIGNS ON DASHBOARD DISAPPEAR AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.. THN AGAIN AFTER DRIVING COUPLE OF MINS OR MILES BRAKES N ACCELERATOR-STOPS WORKING.. N TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT IT HAPPENED WITH LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO HAS NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA LE SO THEY SHOULD TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY CZ ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE.. THANKS GOD WE GOT SAVED WE WAS IN A HIGHWAY
