THERE WAS A LETTER I GOT FROM NISSAN RECALL P7245(ARM-QST AIRBAG ECU NTB07 CAUSE, P72450 INSPECT AIR BAG SENSOR CONTROL UNIT.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH AND ENGAGING THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT FAILED TO RESPOND. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, HE HEARD A GRINDING AND KNOCKING NOISE. HE WAS FORCED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. HE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES HE TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM BEGAN FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED TWICE. NISSAN CORPORATION GAVE HIM A CLAIM NUMBER AND ADVISED HIM TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED AT HIS OWN EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT IS FAMILIAR WITH OTHER RELATED YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLES WITH THE IDENTICAL FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45860. UPDATED 2/26/10 *CN UPDATED 05/11/10.*JB

I OWN A NISSAN ARMADA (2005). WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY IN HIGHWAY CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT AND QUIT RUNNING ON 3 OCCASIONS. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP BUT NO WORK WAS DONE SINCE THEY COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO REPEAT THE PROBLEM. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED BACK THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO THE "INTEGRATED POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM). AFTER LOOKING UP THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH BOTH OLDER AND NEWER ARMADAS (AS WELL AS OTHER NISSANS). I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN CRASHES RESULTING FROM THIS PROBLEM BUT I DO FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR

VEHICLE: 2005 NISSAN ARMADA FAILURE: COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM INCIDENT: WHILE DRIVING LOST COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM, LEAVING ME WITH NO ABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. RESOLUTION: I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE ISSUE AND THAT THEY WOULD "REFLASH" THE ECM THAT "SHOULD" CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I FOUND MANY OTHER OWNER OF 2004 - 2007 NISSAN ARMADA AND TITAN VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS BEST DESCRIBED AS AN INTERMITTENT COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM THAT IS RESOLVED BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN AND THE DEALER THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER SAYING THAT ANY COMPONENT FAILURE THAT CAUSES THIS MUST BE CONTAINED IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED OTHER CUSTOMERS BRAKE BOOSTERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO MAKE THERE CUSTOMERS AWARE OF!!!! *TR

2005 NISSAN ARMADA.. HAVE A HOLE IN RADIATOR THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN THE PAST TWO MONTHS. HAD IT REPLACED IN AUGUST WHILE ON VACATION THEN LAST WEEK SMELLED THE ANTIFREEZE AND I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS A WHOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE RADIATOR AND WE NEED A NEW RADIATOR. WE HAVE A GUARD ON BOTTOM OF TRUCK TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AND DEALER SAYS THIS IS A RARE OCCURRENCE WITH THIS MODEL. PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT IS CURRENTLY SITTING AT THE DEALER WAITING TO HAVE AN INSPECTOR COME AND SEE IT SO THE WARRANTY COMPANY CAN DECIDE IF IT WILL BE COVERED. IM STILL WAITING FOR A DECISION ON THE FIRST ONE WHICH WE PAID OUT OF POCKET. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING THE ABS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT WOULD START FLASHING. WHEN I COME TO A STOP THE BRAKING SYSTEM STARTS TO MAKE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE LIKE THE ABS HAS KICKED IN AND WONT DISENGAGE. THE ONLY WAY TO TEMPORARILY CORRECT THIS IS TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A RECALL FOR NISSAN ARMADAS 2004 AND OLDER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN DRIVING A FRWY SPEED THE TRUCK SPUTTERED AND SHUT OF WHEN I WAS ON THE FAST LANE. I HAD TO LET THE TRUCK ROLL OFF THE FRWY. THE GAS TANK INDICATED THAT I HAD 1/4 TANK LEFT. I ADDED GAS BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS TRYING TO CRANK OVER. THE TRUCK THEN STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY, I COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF I DIDN'T THINK QUICKLY ABOUT GETTING OFF THE FRWY, COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED IF I WAS INEXPERIENCED. I KNOW FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT IS BAD IN THESE TRUCKS AND THERE HAS TO BE A SOLUTION TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IF THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES PAST 35 MPH THE VEHICLE WILL STALL. AS A CONSEQUENCE HER RISK FOR VEHICLE CRASH WAS INCREASED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED. THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22000.

LAST WEEK WE VACATIONED IN GATLINBURG, TENN...AT OUR FAMILY REUNION IN THE MOUNTAIN AT A CHALET .....I PURCHASED MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA AND IT HAD 50000 MILES ON IT INAPRIL. AT 53000 I WAS DESCENDING THE MOUNTAIN AND IN MY OPINION NOT RIDING THE BRAKES, ALTHOUGH I DELAYED INTO SHIFTING IN TO LOW. THE GRADE ON THE DESCENT WAS VERY STEEP AND ALL I REMEMBER IS THE BRAKE LIGHT AND A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND A GRADUAL THEN DRAMATIC DECREASE IN MY BRAKABILITY. I WAS SHAKEN AND PULLED OVER. IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES I PROCEEDED A LITTLE MORE AND FOUND THE BRAKE TO ALMOST DISAPPEAR. I LUCKILY FOUND A DRIVEWAY ON AN INCLINE AND PULLED UP AND PUT IT IN PARK. I SAT AND WONDERED WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I WAS IN SUCH A DANGEROUS MOUNTAIN CURVE THAT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET HELP IN. WHEN I CALMED DOWN, I CALLED MY BROTHERS TO HELP ME AND LET THEM KNOW MY LOCATION. WHEN I SAW A CHANCE I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND BACKED UP, PUTTING THE ARMADA IN DRIVE TO REACH A PULL OFF POINT GOING UPHILL. I SHUT THE NISSAN OFF AND GOT OUT AND WAITED. AFTER A HALF AN HOUR MY BROTHERS SHOWED UP AND DROVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME I JUST RODE MY BRAKES AND NEEDED TO LET THEM COOL OFF, BUT I THOUGHT THEY WERE RIGHT UNTIL I RECEIVED THIS LIST OF COMPLAINTS AND HEAR THE SAME SYMPTOMS I EXPERIENCED.....I WILL WATCH FOR THIS AGAIN AND SINCE WE HAVE A 6000 LBS FAMILY TRAILER WE HAVEN'T USE YET -I AM EAGER TO GET THE SOLUTION. NISSAN NEEDS TO TROUBLESHOOT THIS PROBLEM AND RESOLVE THE COMPUTER GLITCH BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I AM A EXPERIENCED SCHOOL BUS DRIVER AND AN OFF ROAD LOVER AND I WAS ABLE TO HANDLE THE SITUATION.......I WOULD NOT LIKE AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER TO HAVE THE SAME SITUATION. I HAD NO PARTS REPLACED BECAUSE MY FAMILY CONVINCED ME I WAS AT FAULT AND RODE THE BRAKES HEATING THEM UP, AND I JUST HAD NEW BRAKES BEFORE WE LEFT ON VACATION. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. I WAS DRIVING AND STARTING TO BRAKE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT OF MY ARMADA. I ALMOST LOST BRAKING CAPABILITY. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE LOUD NOISE AND LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND THE PROBLEM WAS GONE FOR THAT MOMENT. A FEW WEEKS LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, SO I TOOK IT INTO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A CODE ERROR AND IT HAD BEEN RESET (IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEN). WELL, IT HAS SINCE HAPPENED ABOUT 10 MORE TIMES. I HAD MY HUSBAND TAKE IT TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TOLD HIM IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER, AND WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $900 TO FIX. WE DID NOT PAY THE MONEY TO HAVE FIXED. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS THIS MORNING WITH MY TWO SMALL DAUGHTERS IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. I WAS IN 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND WAS STARTING TO APPLY THE BRAKES, WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VDC LIGHT AND TWO OTHER PANEL LIGHTS. THIS MORNING, IT WAS THE WORST IT HAD BEEN SINCE IT STARTED. I NORMALLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF BRAKES, BUT THIS MORNING WHEN I TAPPED THE BRAKES, IT BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE SUDDEN STOP IN 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC, THEN, I LET OFF THE BRAKE AND TRIED TO EASE UP AND REAPPLY THE BRAKES AND IT BROUGHT IT TO A COMPLETE STOP AGAIN. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND IT CLEARED ITSELF. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND TOLD HIM. ONCE I GOT TO WORK, I STARTED TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND I FIND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM! I COUNT MYSELF LUCKY THIS MORNING THAT I WAS NOT REAR ENDED BECAUSE I HAD MY TWO SMALL DAUGHTERS IN MY TRUCK WITH ME!!!! NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR
