'WAS DRIVING AND GETTING READY TO STOP ON A 3 WAY STOP INTERSECTION, AS SOON AS I STEP ON THE BRAKE , A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. SEEMS LIKE THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND IT'S HARD TO MAKE A FULL STOP. FORTUNATELY, 'WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH ON AND OFF, THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH DISAPPEARED AND THE GRINDING NOISE WENT AWAY.THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED (ABOUT A YEAR AGO- SAME ISSUE), I BROUGHT THE ARMADA TO MOSSY NISSAN POWAY. THEY HAVE TO RE-CODE THE ECU AND I HAVE TO PAY SOMETHING LIKE $300 FOR THE WORK DONE. NISSAN SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. NHTSA, PLEASE ORDER A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE BEFORE AN INJURY OR SOMETHING FATAL HAPPENS TO ANYONE WHO DRIVES IT. *JS

I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND FOUND MANY OTHER ARMADA AND TITAN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. SEE "ARMADA DELTA STROKE SENSOR" OR "ARMADA BRAKE PROBLEM" IN A GOOGLE SEARCH. ALSO, NISSAN HAS JUST SETTLED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT: HTTP://WWW.COURTHOUSENEWS.COM/2013/12/26/64077.HTM. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF THESE VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

FINALLY AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TO STOP I LET OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND IT MADE A SPRINGY CLICKING NOISE LIKE THE PEDAL WAS RESETTING TO A CERTAIN SPOT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF FOR 2-3 MINUTES STARTED BACK UP AND BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND BRAKES WORKED PERFECTLY. THIS COULD HAVE GOT SOMEONE KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED....NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! *TR

THIS ISSUE OCCURRED AS WE WERE STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION. THE BRAKES SEEMED TO LOSE POWER AND THERE WAS A SPRINGY, METALLIC NOISE EMANATING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT ALMOST FELT LIKE THERE WAS SLIPPING GOING ON OR THAT THE DISCS CAME OFF TRACK. WE DROVE BACK TO A HOUSE WHERE WE HAD BEEN STAYING AND THE FRONT TIRES WERE REMOVED TO ENSURE ALL WAS INTACT. EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND WE DROVE 110 MILES TO OUR HOME. SINCE THEN THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I FINALLY REALIZED THAT IT MUST BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WOULD RESET AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS LAST TIME IT AROSE ON A LONG DRIVE INTO THE CITY. IT WAS 9/22/2014 AND AFTER A LONG DRIVE INTO THE CITY I PARKED IN A SHOPPING CENTER. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND REVERSED I NOTICED THE BRAKES WERE MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF AND TURNED ON THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES. IT DID NOT RESET. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT SO I DROVE ANOTHER FIVE STREET MILES IN A GINGERLY FASHION. IF I HAD ADEQUATE TIME TO STOP AT A SAFE SPEED I COULD DRIVE THE CAR BUT IT WAS HARROWING. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION I REALIZED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON IN MY CONSOLE. I DECIDED TO LET THE CAR REST FOR FIVE OR SIX HOURS WHILE I WAS AT MY OUTING. WHEN I RETURNED LATER THAT DAY THE BRAKES OPERATED FINE. IT WORKED OKAY ON MY 110 MILE DRIVE BACK HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5-6 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE CAR AFTER BUYING FROM A PRIVATE PARTY. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES INSPECTED RELIGIOUSLY AND A CAUSE HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND. A FRIEND SUGGESTED I SHOULD SEARCH ONLINE FOR THIS ISSUE AND HERE I AM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. *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.
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.
