I OWN A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA LE. IT HAS RECENTLY HAD SERIOUS BRAKING PROBLEMS, IT IS INTERMITTENT, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY. APPROX. 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK, I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THEY DID NOT ENGAGE AT ALL. I HAD NO BRAKING POWER, THEN IT STARTED MAKING GRINDING NOISES BUT I STILL COULD NOT STOP IN A SAFE MANNER. MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT THE CAR AND WE SWITCHED KEYS-MEANING WE TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN ON AGAIN. AFTER THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF THE BRAKES BEGAN TO PERFORM NORMALLY. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO LES SCHWABB AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES BUT THEY BLED THE SYSTEM AND PUT NEW FLUID IN. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AND THE FIX IS ALWAYS TURNING THE TRUCK OFF. I AND MY CHILDREN WERE PUT IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION ON A MAJOR ROAD. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2006 ARMADA'S. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED. *TR

DURING THE ISSUE, TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY AND RESTARTING USUALLY RESOLVES THE ISSUE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER 40-50 TIME. CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP RESULTED IN A $500 BILL TO FLUSH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND RE-SURFACE THE BRAKE ROTORS. THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. *TR

2006 NISSAN ARMADA VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND BRAKES FAILED. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED AS I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT, FLAT STREET AT ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR. PRESSING THE BRAKES CAUSES A LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE ON THE FRONT THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE BRAKES BEING CHEWED UP. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT FOUR TIMES IN ABOUT A 6-MONTH PERIOD BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECENT RECALLS ON THE FUEL AND SOME UNDER THE VEHICLE PROBLEM. SINCE THAT TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURS CONSTANTLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY RAN TEST 59637 WHICH SHOWED CODE C1189 BOOSTER DEFECT. IT ALSO STATES THAT IS "UNSAFE TO DRIVE." I COULD NOT AFFORD A $1,200.00 REPAIR JOB SO THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD REPROGRAM IT TO SEE IF THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND IT DID NOT. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD ALREADY RUN OUT. I COMPLAINED BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BECAUSE I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY OTHER NISSAN ARMADA OWNERS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. BY THE WAY, THIS IS MY 5TH NISSAN VEHICLE AND I HAD NEVER HAD ANY JUST MAJOR PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT IF YOU OWN A VEHICLE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED PERIODICALLY. BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. *TR

ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I PUT GAS IN MY ARMADA, IT TAKES FOREVER FOR THE GAS GAUGE TO GO UP TO WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE (IE. I PUT $40 WHICH SHOULD PUT IT IN 1/2 TANK... I DROVE 5 MILES BEFORE IT ACTUALLY GOT FROM 1/4 TANK TO 1/2 TANK... I TOOK PICTURES OF THIS OCCURRENCE). *TR

MY 06 NISSAN ARMARDA HAS OVER 78000 MILES ON IT. ONE DAY WITHOUT WARNING, THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES ON - THE SOUND THAT THE ABS MAKES WHEN ITS IN USE HAPPENS & BRAKES BECOME SPONGY. IT FELT LIKE THEY FELL RIGHT OUT THE BOTTOM. NEXT MORNING IT WAS AT MY LOCAL GOOD YEAR. THEY REPLACED THE CALIPERS, AND BRAKE PADS - ALL WAS WELL, SO I THOUGHT. 2 WEEKS LATE THE SAME THING. BACK IT WENT TO THE SHOP & NOTHING COULD BE FOUND SINCE THIS DEFECT SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF. THIS 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 30 MILES AN HOUR, JUST A SLIGHT TAP & THE BRAKES WERE LOST. I DROVE IT RIGHT TO THE SHOP & THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE GRINDING SINCE I NEVER PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK. BUT THE NEXT DAY THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. I NOW HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE NISSAN DEALER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS COMPONENTS. THANKFULLY FOR GEICOS MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN INSURANCE SO FAR I'VE ONLY HAD TO PAY THE $250 DEDUCTIBLE. ITS GOOD FOR UP TO 7 YEARS/100,000 MILES. *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.
