SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. BRAKES WENT OUT, GRINDING, HAD TO PUSH HARD ON THE PEDAL AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER PERSON. HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. MY MECHANIC STATES THAT MY DELTA STROKE SENSOR IS OUT AND I HAVE TO REPLACE THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY UNIT. THIS IS A $1,000 FIX. CALLED NISSAN AND THEY WILL CHARGE ME MORE AND SAY THEY HAVE NOT RECALLS ON THIS OR FOUND ISSUES. NOT TRUE. THERE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OUT THERE THAT LIST THESE EXACT SYMPTOMS WITH ARMADA BRAKES. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT PENDING SINCE 2011 BUT SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE NISSAN CORRECT THIS PROBLEM NOW BEFORE THERE ARE CASUALTIES FROM ACCIDENTS WHEN THE BRAKES GO OUT. *TR

GRINDING SOUND WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. BRAKE LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED IN THE DASH. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE BRAKES WORKING CORRECTLY IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF & BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE & WAS ACTUALLY BROUGHT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER KNEW OF THE PROBLEM BUT SAID NISSAN WOULDN'T COVER THE COST & I WILL NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE & NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX IT. THIS IS OUR MAIN FAMILY VEHICLE TRANSPORTING MY WIFE & MYSELF ALONG WITH OUR 5 & 7 YEAR OLD. IT WORRIES ME THINKING THE BRAKES COULD GO OUT AT ANY TIME ON THE FREEWAY.

WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN TO ENTER FREEWAY WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE. HEARD A BOOMING NOISE AND THEN GRINDING. CAR WAS HARD TO STOP AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON UNTIL CAR WAS STOPPED AND THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED AGAIN CAR RAN AND BRAKED NORMALLY NO BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I READ A LARGE NUMBER OF SIMILAR REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF ARMADAS AND NISSAN TITANS. BASED ON THEIR REPORTS THERE APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER CALLED THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND SEEK ADVICE. DESPITE ALL OF THE REPORTS I HAD READ, THE REP SAID THERE WERE NO RECORDS OF THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. I OPENED A CASE WITH NISSAN,AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. I DID AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE ISSUE THAT SO MANY HAVE REPORTED. THE COST TO REPAIR THE PART IS $1000. I FEEL THAT THIS AN ISSUE OF A DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURE AND IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY NISSAN. *TR

BRAKE INDICATOR ON DASH LIGHTS UP, HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE AND CAR HAS VERY LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. HAD TO PULL OVER AND LET CAR SLOWLY COAST TO A STOP. SWITCHED OFF ENGINE SET FOR A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED AND VEHICLE WAS BACK TO NORMAL. MULTIPLE TIMES. TOOK IN TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD COULD POSSIBLY BE A BRAKE BOOSTER AT A COST OF ABOUT 1000.00 .( 1000 DOLLAR GUESS FOR A POSSIBLE LIFE THREATENING ISSUE ???) LOOKED IN FORUM AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING QUITE A BIT BUT NISSAN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY DO RECALL. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR MONTHS . CAN'T RISK HAVING FAMILY IN CAR AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP AT ANYTIME. *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, DRIVING ALONG AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD AND WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME FOR THE CAR TO STOP. IF YOU GET THE CAR STOPPED AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON IT WILL RESET ITSELF BACK TO NORMAL UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAY "WELL ITS NOT HAPPENING TO THE CAR RIGHT NOW SO WE CANT DIAGNOSE IT" NISSAN SHOULD BE RECALLING THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. IF YOU GOOGLE SEARCH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SAYING THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY BRAKES ARE NOT A RECALL, THEY ARE PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART TO A CAR NEXT TO THE MOTOR AND NISSAN IS JUST LETTING PEOPLE FLY AROUND AND NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. SHAME ON YOU NISSAN. *TR

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.

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.
