I BOUGHT THIS 2006 NISSAN ARMADA BRAND NEW. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY. THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON AND A GRIDING NOISE COMES OUT WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID IT SOFWARE ISSUE WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE AND IT WORKED FOR COUPLE OF YEARS THEN AGAIN AND AGAIN, I SPEND ABOUT $160 EACH TIME TO CORRECT THE SOFTWARE NOW. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT NEEDS SOME PARTS AND SOFTWHERE UPGRADE ABOUT $750, SO I PARKED THE CAR AND I'M LOOKING FOR OTHER ALTERNATIVES. ANY ONE KNOW OF A RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. *JS

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA.

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES ON MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. EVERY 3-6 MONTHS THE BRAKES WILL MAKE A SCARY NOISE (CAN'T REALLY DESCRIBE IT - GRINDING/CLANKING), THE BRAKES WORK AT ABOUT 10% AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT, THE NOISE DISAPPEARS AND THE BRAKES WORK AT 100% ONCE AGAIN. SO FAR IT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN A SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY. IF IT DOES, THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH. I CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN POSTED ABOUT THIS ONE "SAME" PROBLEM AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED. I'M NOT SURE WHAT MORE THE CONSUMERS CAN DO, BUT I WILL BE CONTACTING NISSAN AND OTHERS TO SEE WHAT MORE CAN BE DONE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND I GO TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND MY BRAKES MADE SHUTTERING AND CLANGING NOISES. THEN I NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO STOP I HEARD THAT NOISE AND HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME STOPPING I ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS ABOUT 20 MILES FROM THE DEALER SO I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHT ON AND DROVE ON THE FAR LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE BETWEEN 10 TO 30 MILES/HR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC UNTIL I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE I GOT TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM. HE SEEMED TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE HE HAD EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER CALLED ME TO EXPLAIN THAT THE DELTA SENSOR INSIDE THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED AND IT WOULD COST ME OVER $900.00. *JS

AS I WAS DRIVING AT STOP AND GO TRAFFIC SPEEDS OF 25 MPH OR LESS, MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A SPONGY FEELING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AS WELL AS A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO SEARS AND THEY DID A BRAKE INSPECTION (MECHANICAL) AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. PAID FOR A BRAKE INSPECTION AND THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE PADS BUT I HAD RECENTLY INSPECTED BRAKES AT ANOTHER SHOP THAT DID NOT RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT. ON 2/28/12, SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, INSPECTED BRAKE FLUID (SAT) AND STARTED THE ENGINE BACK UP WITH NO SIGNS OF FAILURE. TOOK VEHICLE TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC AND CODE READER FOUND C1179 DELTA STROKE SENSOR FAULT. HE RESET IT AND PROBLEM HAS SINCE GONE AWAY BUT I AM WEARY OF BRAKE RELIABILITY IN THE FUTURE. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 2006 ARMADA HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES WHERE THE BRAEK LIGHT COMES ON, THERE IS A TERRIBLE GRINDING SOUND, & I LOSE ABOUT 75% OF MY BRAKE FUNCTION. I ONLY PURCHASED THIS TRUCK ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO & IT HAS HAPPENED 3X. NO TELLING HOW MANY TIMES IT HAPPENED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NISSAN FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THIS IS HAPPENING EVEN THOUGH A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WILL SHOW 100S, IF NOT 1000S OF ARMADA OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE ASAP!! THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T "RECREATE" THE PROBLEM TO FIX IT, BUT IT'S LIKELY IF THEY COULD, THEN THEY'D HAVE TO ADMIT WHAT WAS WRONG & THAT IT IS NISSAN'S FAULT. BEWARE!! *TR

Official recalls

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.
