2006 Nissan Armada

CAR STALLS WHILE IN MOTION. RESTARTS AFTER 4-5 CRANKS. THIS OCCURRED ABOUT TEN TIMES BEFORE CAR TAKEN TO DEALER. WHEN CAR STALLS / ENGINE STOPS AND THE LOSS OF STEERING ABILITY AND BRAKE ASSIST IS REDUCED. THIS OCCURRED ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE #1 LANE WITH NO EMERGENCY LANE AVAILABLE. CAUSING SEVERAL NEAR MISSES BY OTHER CARS IN TRYING TO COAST TO THE RIGHTSIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL CRANKS AND WAS DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE IPDM WAS REPLACED UNDER THE DIAGNOSE OF A INTERMITTENT OPEN CIRCUIT INSIDE THE MODULE. ALSO THIS ISSUE NEVER GAVE ANY TROUBLE CODES OR EVEN NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.. THIS STALLING WOULD OCCUR ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING.THE OLD PART WAS NOT RETURNED TO ME EVEN THOUGH I REQUESTED IT BEFORE REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE SERVICE WRITER APPARENTLY DID NOT TELL THE MECHANIC. THE COST TO REPLACE THE MODULE WAS $439.00.*TR

EVERY 3 OR 4 MONTHS, MY 2006 ARMADA WILL HAVE A GRINDING NOISES WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON. I WILL NOT HAVE ANY BRAKES WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I ALWAYS NEED TO STOP THE TRUCK, TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. THIS SEEMS TO RE-CALIBRATE THE SYSTEM AND IT WILL BE FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. IT SEEMS NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE 2006 ARMADA AND FIX THIS CALIBRATION PROBLEM BEFORE A TRAGEDY TAKES PLACE. *TR

MY HUSBAND HAVE A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE CLUTCH FAILS DAILY. WE HAVE NOTIFIED NISSAN AND WE HAVE GONE ONLINE TO PLACE COMPLAINTS ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE REGARDING THE CLUTCH PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 NISSAN. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP HE WAS TOLD THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER WAS BAD WHICH IS STATED ON THE NISSAN SITE. I HAVE A 2006 ARMARDA SUV AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON DAILY AND THE BRAKES WILL STOP WORKING INSTANTLY. I HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED. I HAVE ALSO PLACED THIS COMPLAINT ON THE NISSAN SITE WITH NO RESPONSE BACK. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2006 SUV BRAKES AND I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE SUV'S ALONG WITH THE ALTIMA AND REPLACE THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE CLUTCH. THIS HAS HAPPEN MANY TIMES AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. BY THE GRACE OF GOD WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLES. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IT ABOUT THE 2006 ARMADA, THE WINDSHIELD POST ARE TO THICK, THEY OBSTRUCT YOUR VIEW TO MUCH . MY WIFE AND CHILD ALL MOST LOST THEIR LIFE'S PULLING OUT OF A SIDE ROAD, THE WINDSHIELD POST WILL HIDE AN ENTIRE MAC TRUCK! I MYSELF NOTICED IT THE FIRST TIME I ALMOST RAN OVER SOME KIDS ON BIKES , WE HAVE COME CLOSE TO HEAVING AT LEAST 10 WRECKS . I WANT MY MONEY THAT I PAID FOR THIS VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE I KNOW WE ARE NOT THE ONLY FAMILY THAT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM .YOU SHOULD CHECK IN TO THIS FOR US . I THOUGHT THEIR WAS A LIMIT ON HOW WIDE THE WINDSHIELD POST COULD BE . *TR

"FOR ABOUT THE LAST 6 MONTHS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A HALF DOZEN TIMES OR SO AN ISSUE WITH BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE BRAKES PULSATE WHEN PUSHED AS THOUGH THE ABS IS KICKING IN, GRINDING IS FELT AND HEARD AND BRAKING ONLY BARELY WORKS. THIS ONLY SEEMS TO OCCUR AT LOWER (NON-FREEWAY) SPEEDS AND THE ISSUE USUALLY CORRECTS ITSELF UPON SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING. APPEARS OUR ISSUE IS TO TSB NTB06-040, BUT I AM NOT SURE AT THIS POINT. GOING TO TRY TO GET IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK AND HOPEFULLY GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE NET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE (SEE COMPLAINT #S BELOW) WITH SOME PEOPLE HAVING ACCIDENTS. MY WIFE NORMALLY IS THE DRIVER AND CARRYING MY 3 YEAR OLD TWINS....WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THIS ISSUE TO HAVE A RECALL???

COOPER CTS TIRES 70,000 MILES TOOK MY VEHICLE NISSAN ARMARDA FOR TIRE ROTATION AND BRAKE INSPECTION MY ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND TIRES HAD SIGNIFICANT WEAR 3 PLACES EXAMINED TIRES AND ALL AGREED THEIR WAS SIGNIFICANT WEAR AND NEED REPLACEMENT. MY AUTO SHOP CALLED COOPERS THEY SAID THEY'LL REPLACE 70% TOWARD COST OF NEW ONES BUT REMEMBER THESE TIRES ARE ONLY 9MOS OLD I WANTED THEM REPLACED AT NO CHARGED. AND WANTED THEM TO HONOR THEIR TIRES. MY TIRES ARE CAUSING ME TO HYDO PLANE IN WATER, THE STEERING IS NOT STABLE ( HEAVY VIBRATION ON STEERING COLUMN WITH SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH) DISPUTE HAVING A NEW ALIGNMENT THEIR IS COUPLING IN TIRES AND A BLISTER ON MY REAR TIRE LEFT DRIVER SIDE. CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY BUT WAS TOLD TIRES ARE OK TIRES ARE AT 832NDS INSIDE AND 632ND OUTSIDE THESE TIRES WONT LAST ME ANOTHER SIX MONTH AT THIS RATE AND FELL IF I KEEP DRIVING ON THEM I'LL HAVE FAILURE EVENTUALLY AND COULD HAVE CONSEQUENCES.I ONLY PUT 12,000 MI ON THEM IN 9MOS. I SPOKE WITH COOPERS REPRESENTATIVE WHO WAS INSENSITIVE AND WAS NOT RESPONSIVE TO MY QUESTIONING ABOUT TIRES AND SAFETY. AND SAID THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO.THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO SEE THEM TO EVEN CONSIDER REPLACEMENT I SAID LETS DO THAT BUT HE SAID I DIDN'T HAVE TO BECAUSE WE AGREED WITH THE AUTO SHOP FOR 70%I SAID IF THEIR IS A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL IN TIRE WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO SEE THEM? HE THEN GAVE ME A RUN AROUND AND WOULD NOT RESPONSE TO MY QUESTIONING. SO, I SAID WHY WOULD I WANT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER SET OF COOPERS WHEN I'M TREATED WITHOUT REGARDS TO MY SAFETY AND FAMILIES SAFETY?AS WELL AS THE QUALITY OF YOUR PRODUCT I SAID REPLACE THE TIRES WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO THEY ARE 70,000 MI TIRES WITH OVER 50% WEAR AND RISING AFTER 9MOS. I ONLY USED 20% OF THE TIRE I SAID SHOULDN'T I RECEIVE 80% BACK? HE ALSO NOTED THAT IF A CUSTOMER IS DISATISFIED WITH OUR PRODUCT THAT THEY COULD AT ANYTIME ASK FOR REPLACEMENT. I SAID THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR!!! HE THEN SAID NOTHINGS WRONG WITH TIRES JUST 70% . *TR

SOMETIME IN MID AUGUST 2008, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE OUT RUNNING ERRANDS IN OUR 2006 ARMADA. SHE CAME HOME AND TOLD ME ABOUT THE "BRAKE" LIGHT COMING ON, SEVERE FRONT END "SHUDDERING" AS SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND DIFFICULTY STOPPING. I WENT OUT TO THE VEHICLE, TURNED IT ON, THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. I DROVE THE VEHICLE AROUND FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES WITH NO PROBLEMS. I DID SLOW EVEN STOPS, HARD "EMERGENCY TYPE" STOPS, BRAKING AROUND CORNERS. NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID, IT WAS SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE MINIMUM LINE, SO I TOPPED IT OFF WITH THE PRESCRIBED BRAKE FLUID. THE CAR OPERATED JUST FINE UNTIL SEPT 12, 2008 AT APPROX. 4:50 PM WHEN AT 40 MPH I APPROACHED A TWO WAY STOP SIGN, APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND NOTHING HAPPENED, I FRANTICALLY PUMPED THE BRAKES, UNTIL THE WALL IN FRONT OF ME WAS CLOSE AND I INSTINCTIVELY PUT MY HANDS IN FRONT OF MY FACE. THE VEHICLE HIT THE CURB AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE, JUMPED THE CURB, CRASHED THROUGH A SAFETY SIGN, AND THEN CRASHED THROUGH A 18-24" SEWER LINE THAT HAD YET TO BE BURIED. IN FACT THE ARMADA ALMOST ROLLED AS IT WAS RIDING ON TOP OF A PIECE OF THE SEVERED SEWER LINE. I CALLED 911, AND THEN SMELLED GASOLINE. HAZMAT WAS CALLED BECAUSE THE FUEL LINE WAS RUPTURED BY THE SIGN GOING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS COMING THE OTHER WAY. I WAS TRANSPORTED VIA AMBULANCE, DIAGNOSED WITH A "DEEP CHEST CONTUSION" FROM THE SEAT BELTS. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AS OF THIS WRITING ON 10/17/08 NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA IS STILL "REVIEWING" THE RESULTS OF THE INDEPENDENT 3RD PARTY THEY SENT OUT TO TEST THE CAR. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THIS REVIEW BY THEIR ENGINEERING AND LEGAL DEPARTMENTS COULD TAKE SEVERAL MORE WEEKS. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN ARMADA HAD SERIOUS BRAKE FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING IN A PARKING LOT AT LESS THAN 15 MPH. THE BRAKE PEDAL SEIZED AND THE ABS KICKED ON, THE DASH VIBRATED AND THE BRAKING POWER DROPPED TO ALMOST NOTHING. THE CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP EVEN AT SUCH A LOW RATE OF SPEED. AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING THE CAR OFF THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO DISAPPEAR. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL THE DEALER FIXES THE PROBLEM. CURRENT MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 32,000 AND THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT 31,980 MILES. *TR
