I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN A GRINDING/SPRINGY SOUND CAME OUT FROM UNDER AND THE :BRAKE" LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WOULD GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT WOULD NOT STOP, LUCKILY I WAS ON A FLAT ROAD SO IT DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A SAFE SPOT AND USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKES TO GET THERE. IF I WERE GOING AT A HIGH SPEED, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. YOU CAN REPLACE A CAR, BUT YOU CAN'T REPLACE A PERSON. I HAVE AN 8 MONTH OLD BABY WHO NEEDS ME. MY BROTHER IN LAW IS A MECHANIC FOR ALL TYPES OF CARS AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS, HE TOLD ME THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ARMADAS (04-07). MINE IS AN 06. AT THIS POINT I HAVE TO KEEP TURNING OFF MY CAR AND BACK ON TO RESTART SOME COMPUTER? I AM NOT GOOD WITH CARS. IF THIS HAPPENS AT A HIGH SPEED AND I CAN'T STOP BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE IT IS ON YOUR HANDS.YOU KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, YET DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS ARMADA IS A DEATHTRAP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY BROTHER IN LAW SUSPECTS IT IS THE ABS,VDC,BRAKE MALFUNCTION. I WAS SPEAKING TO SOMEONE ELSE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THEY SAID THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON THEIR, AND ONCE WHEN A LIGHT TURN RED AND HE TRIED TO STOP HE COULDN'T AND ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE?

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY BRAKE LIGHT THAT KEEPS COMING ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES MY TRUCK JERKS BADLY, MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, MY BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES WHILE STOPPING. I WAS TOLD I NEED MY BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED WHICH WAS DONE AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THE CODE C1179 IS THE ISSUES. THE CODE IS NISSAN - DELTA STROKE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING WHICH ONLY NISSAN CAN FIX THE PROBLEM (AND THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUES AS WELL). WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN FOR NISSAN TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE THAT IS GOING ON WITH SEVERAL TRUCKS. I DON'T LIKE THE FEELING OF DRIVING AND CANNOT STOP OR FEEL AS IF I AM GOING TO HIT SOMEONE I HAVE CHILDREN AND I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH THEM OR ANYONE ELSE WITHIN THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IF THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS CODE C1179 WHY IS NISSAN NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ISSUES AND COST? I HAVE FIXED EVERYTHING THAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE AND NOW I HAVE TO HAVE MY TRUCK REPROGRAMMED WHICH IS COSTING ME MORE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN 8 MONTHS AND IT IS NOW 11/2017.

ON THE DATE OF JULY 12, 2017 I WAS ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. TRAFFIC WAS MODERATE. AS I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE I NOTICED IT MADE SPRINGY GRINDING SOUND, AND THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION AS WELL. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE RED BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR WAS ON. IN A SAFE AND DESPERATE MANNER, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO SHOULDER AND PUT MY VEHICLE ON PARK. AFTER I PLACED MY VEHICLE ON PARK, I TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED OFF, THEN I TURNED IT BACK ON. ONCE I TURNED IT BACK ON, I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON AND THE BRAKES WERE WORKING FINE. ON JULY 13, 2017, WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS TO DISNEYLAND, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME INCIDENT AGAIN. AS I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD SPRINGY GRINDING SOUND. IN ADDITION THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION AS WELL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. THIS TIME I WAS NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SHOULDER DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAD TO ACTIVATE MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND TURN OFF AND TURN ON MY VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE LANE. PLEASE ADHERE TO THIS MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU

IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN CYCLES LIKE EVERY MONTH OR SO BUT WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS, UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. THIS IS A DEFINITE MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE BLOGGED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. MANY HAVE CLAIMED IT'S AN ABS OR BOOSTER BRAKE ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL. A RECALL IS NECESSARY BEFORE A MAJOR TRAGEDY OCCURS.

THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WHEN I TRIED TO BRAKE. I FINALLY GOT THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN A SAFE LOCATION, TURNED THE CAR OFF,RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAKE. THIS RECENTLY HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE CITY STREET. I PULLED OFF OF THE STREET, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I REALLY FEAR FOR MY LIFE BECAUSE I BARELY HAVE ANY BRAKES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE BRAKE PETAL IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAN STOP. THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY.

Official recalls
3Oct 28, 2010
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.
Mar 3, 2010
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.
Jun 27, 2008
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.
