SO, I PULLED OVER AND CAR MY TRUCK OFF AND ON AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY. I PROCEEDED ON MY WAY AND THEY WENT OUT AGAIN AND I ALMOST REAR ENDED A 18-WHEELER WITH MY TWO BABIES IN THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY RAN UP ON A CURB TO NOT HIT THE SEMI. AND, IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A BRAKES SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BRAKE BOOSTER KIT THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE ABS SYSTEM. THAT WAS RECALLED AND SINCE I DIDN'T FIND OUT TIL LATER AND DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS TIL LATER ON I GOT SCREWED AND HAD TO PAY OVER $1300.00 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. AND, HAVE YET TO BE REIMBURSED WHICH I THINK SUCKS. *TT *TR

AS I'M DRIVING MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF BREAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE I'VE BEEN ON 95 WITH MY TWO KIDS IN THE CAR. I'VE HAD MY BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS ON 95 I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF STOPPING THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CANNOT STOP MY VEHICLE. I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I HOPE THIS GETS RESOLVED BECAUSE I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN VEHICLE EVER AGAIN.

MY HUSBAND PURCHASED AN 06 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE HE WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY HE WENT TO SLOW DOWN AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MADE A WEIRD GRINDING NOISE. HE PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. WAS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE. AFTER HE RESTARTED IT, IT DROVE FINE. TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEMSELVES AND THEY FOUND NOTHING BUT RECOMMENDED A BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO US. AGAIN JUST RECENTLY, I WAS WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO RUN THROUGH A RED LIGHT BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP.THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON BUT THE BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED. THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AS IF I NEEDED ROTORS. I LET THE VEHICLE SLOW DOWN AND I PULLED OVER IN A SAFE AREA AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER RESTARTING IT AFTER 5 MINS THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE. I HAD MY FATHER HOOK HIS CODE READER UP AND WE CAME UP WITH A CODE C1179 WHICH IS A DELTA STROKE SENSOR. RESEARCHED THE CODE AND FOUND THAT NISSAN HAD MULTIPLE LAWSUITS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL FOR IT. I CONTACTED NISSAN THEMSELVES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE GENTLEMAN THAT I SPOKE TO AT NISSAN TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT BUILT IN A CERTAIN FACTORY THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT HIS SUGGESTION WAS THAT IF I HAD A GOOD REPOIRE WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLOSE TO ME THEY MAY BE ABLE TO HELP ME WITH THE COST. THE LAWSUIT NEVER SPECIFIED A CERTAIN FACTORY THE VEHICLES CAME OUT OF. IT STATED 2004-2008 NISSAN TITAN AND ARMADA OR INFINITY QX56. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, HAS BEEN SUED NOT ONCE BUT MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS STILL REFUSING TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE.

ISSUE WITH ABS ENGAGING AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS CREATING AN INABILITY TO BRAKE. MY WIFE DROVE THROUGH A STOP SIGN WITH ALL 4 OF MY KIDS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND LUCKED OUT. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. AT A SPEED OF ONLY 4 MILES PER HOUR, I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, I DROVE THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT, ONLY ACCELERATING ENOUGH TO GET TO A SIDE ROAD. WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE, THERE WAS A CRUNCHING/GRINDING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED TO MY WIFE, I REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER (HELL OF A JOB) AND I INSTALLED NEW ROTORS AND PADS ALL THE WAY AROUND AS THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS TOLD TO BE THE ISSUE AFTER NISSAN WAS SUED FOR THE PROBLEM AS IT GREW. IT STILL NEVER BECAME A TSB AND I HAVE A HALF TON DEATH TRAP IN MY DRIVEWAY.

THE ONLY WAY TO RECTIFY THIS IS TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY AND THEN RESTART IT. THIS IS OK ON CITY STREETS BUT IS VERY SCARY ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD A NISSAN DEALER LOOK AT IT MULTIPLE TIMES BUT SINCE THE CAR CHECKS OUT MECHANICALLY AND THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE SITUATION, THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS.

I HAD THE BRAKES CHANGED, BRAKE BOOSTER AND CLOCK SPRING CHANGED. THE VDC AND SLIP LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON AND THE ABS ENGAGES WHILE DRIVING. ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK THE OTHER DAY BUT I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER AROUND VEHICLES AND THEN STOP. THIS ALSO HAPPENED BACK IN 2011 WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE WE HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER CHANGED AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL NOW. THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS EVALUATED AND SCANNED AND CHECKED OUT OK. LAST TIME IT COST $1,000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT, BUT IS NOW A PROBLEM AGAIN.

MY VEHICLE WAS ACTING COMPLETELY NORMAL NO DASH LIGHTS UNTIL I WENT TO STOP AT A STOP LIGHT THATS WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP MY BREAKES WERE SOFT GRINDING NOISE AND DID NOT WANT TO STOP. I LOOK AT THE DASH AND THE BREAK LIGHT WAS ON I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD PUT IN THE PARKING BREAK AND RELEASED IT. STILL SAME ISSUE. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN BACK ON AND NOW IS WORKING COMPLETELY NORMAL AGAIN. AFTER DOING RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THE NISSAN ARMADAS AND TITANS. IT IS FOUND TO BE A FAULTY BREAK BOOSTER AND SENSOR. I HAD 2 OF MY CHILDREN WITH ME. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE NOT KNOWING IF I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE. NISSAN NEEDS THIS BOOSTER TO BE RECALLED. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT YOU MAY LOOSE YOUR BREAKS.

BRAKE FAILURE. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY. BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL OF SUDDEN NO BRAKES AND LOUD NOISES. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR A FEW YEARS AND HAVE RECEIVED NO HELP FROM NISSAN DEALER. ONCE I RESTART VEHICLE, IT WORKS LIKE NORMAL.
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.
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2009 TITAN, ARMADA, AND INFINITI QX56 VEHICLES. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE MAY INACCURATELY DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY.
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.
NISSAN IS RECALLING 180,664 MY 2005-2006 TITAN, ARMADA AND INFINITY QX56 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER MARCH 17, 2005, THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH A VISTEON AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR. 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.
