MY 06 NISSAN ARMARDA HAS OVER 78000 MILES ON IT. ONE DAY WITHOUT WARNING, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON - THE SOUND THAT THE ABS MAKES WHEN ITS IN USE HAPPENS & BRAKES BECOME SPONGY.

MY 06 NISSAN ARMARDA HAS OVER 78000 MILES ON IT. ONE DAY WITHOUT WARNING, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON - THE SOUND THAT THE ABS MAKES WHEN ITS IN USE HAPPENS & BRAKES BECOME SPONGY. IT FELT LIKE THEY FELL RIGHT OUT THE BOTTOM. NEXT MORNING IT WAS AT MY LOCAL GOOD YEAR. THEY REPLACED THE CALIPERS, AND BRAKE PADS - ALL WAS WELL, SO I THOUGHT. 2 WEEKS LATE THE SAME THING. BACK IT WENT TO THE SHOP & NOTHING COULD BE FOUND SINCE THIS DEFECT SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF. THIS 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 30 MILES AN HOUR, JUST A SLIGHT TAP & THE BRAKES WERE LOST. I DROVE IT RIGHT TO THE SHOP & THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE GRINDING SINCE I NEVER PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK. BUT THE NEXT DAY THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. I NOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE NISSAN DEALER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS COMPONENTS. THANKFULLY FOR GEICOS MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN INSURANCE SO FAR I'VE ONLY HAD TO PAY THE $250 DEDUCTIBLE. ITS GOOD FOR UP TO 7 YEARS/100,000 MILES. *TR

WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A PARKED POSITION, SOMETIMES THE BRAKES WILL MAKE A GRINDING NOISE WHEN PRESSED. IF YOU HIT YOUR BRAKES DURING THIS PERIOD THERE IS A GRIND PULSATING FEELING IN THE BRAKES. I DON'T KNOW IF THE BRAKES ARE REALLY EVEN WORKING DURING THIS TIME, BUT THE ONLY THE WAY TO CLEAR THIS IS TO SOMEHOW STOP THE CAR WITHOUT DESTROYING SOMETHING AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTARTING IT. THIS SEEMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT IT WILL INTERMITTENTLY DO IT AGAIN IN ABOUT A MONTH OR SO. IS NISSAN DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? I NEVER REALLY FEEL SECURE DRIVING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN I 'M AT FULL SPEED AND REALLY NEED THE BRAKES! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY WITH MY 3 KIDS IN THE CAR AND THE VDC SLIP AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NO WHERE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND I BROUGH THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AFTER PAYING FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSIS IT THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO CCOME ON SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I WOULD TAKE IT IN AND THEY WOULD SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG. ONE PARTICULAR DAY I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 3 KIDS AND I WENT TO STOP AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO DO A PULSING ACTION AND SOUNDED AS THOUGH THEY WERE GRINDING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I STARTED TO CRY AND PANIC BECAUSE I HAD ALL OF MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO SO I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND LET THE CAR ROLL AND JUST PULLED AWAY FROM TRAFFIC AS MUCH AS I COULD. FINALLY I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I HIT THE BREAKS AND EMERGENCY BREAK TO MAKE IT STOP. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND WAS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE AFTER THAT SO I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ASKED IF I COULD BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY. ONCE AT THE DEALER I WAS TOLD AGAIN NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT MY BRAKES WERE FINE AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME 2 MORE TIMES AND STILL NO ONE SEEMS TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND EACH TIME I PRESS ON THEM I AM TERRIFIED THAT THE CAR IS NOT GONNA STOP. THE BRAKES ALWAYS FEEL AS THOUGH THEY AREN'T GONNA STOP AND THEY HAVE AN UNEASY FEELING WHEN YOU PRESS THEM. I CANNOT CLAIM THE CAR AS A LEMON BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT USED WITH 29,000 MILES WHICH IS NOT ALOT. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR THE NISSAN ARMADA BECAUSE MY CAR DID NOT HAVE ALOT OF MILES WHEN THIS STARTED AND IT IS STILL HAVING ISSUES.

TEMPORARY LOSS OF BRAKES AND CONTROL OF CAR; ABS LIGHT COMES ON. THIS OCCURRED TWICE AND EACH TIME BROUGHT TO DEALER. THEY WERE AWARE OF PROBLEM AND MADE AN ADJUSTMENT. STILL DRIVE UNCERTAIN WHETHER IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS IN MY OPINION.

RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING ABS SYSTEM SEEMS TO ENGAGE AND NORMAL BRAKE FUNCTION IS LOST. USUALLY THIS OCCURS AFTER A STOP AND BEGINS NEXT TIME I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. OCCURS ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. TO RESOLVE IT WE HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR. *TR

WE HAVE NOTIFIED NISSAN AND WE HAVE GONE ONLINE TO PLACE COMPLAINTS ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE REGARDING THE CLUTCH PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 NISSAN. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP HE WAS TOLD THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER WAS BAD WHICH IS STATED ON THE NISSAN SITE. I HAVE A 2006 ARMARDA SUV AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON DAILY AND THE BRAKES WILL STOP WORKING INSTANTLY. I HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED. I HAVE ALSO PLACED THIS COMPLAINT ON THE NISSAN SITE WITH NO RESPONSE BACK. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2006 SUV BRAKES AND I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE SUV'S ALONG WITH THE ALTIMA AND REPLACE THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE CLUTCH. THIS HAS HAPPEN MANY TIMES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. BY THE GRACE OF GOD WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLES. *TR

THIS ONLY SEEMS TO OCCUR AT LOWER (NON-FREEWAY) SPEEDS AND THE ISSUE USUALLY CORRECTS ITSELF UPON SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING. APPEARS OUR ISSUE IS TO TSB NTB06-040, BUT I AM NOT SURE AT THIS POINT. GOING TO TRY TO GET IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK AND HOPEFULLY GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE NET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE (SEE COMPLAINT #S BELOW) WITH SOME PEOPLE HAVING ACCIDENTS.

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL SENDER UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW IMPROVED SENDER CARD. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

THE FAN MOTOR MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SEALED ALLOWING EXCESSIVE WATER INTRUSION AND INADEQUATE DRAINAGE OF MOISTURE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE CORROSION IN THE MOTOR LEADING POSSIBLY TO OVERHEATING AND A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A 'THERMAL PROTECTOR KIT' AND TEST THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 2, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
