TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE SENSOR AND THE BRAKE ACTUATOR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHENEVER THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED AND LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN OUT OF GARAGE AT LOW SPEED. SUDDENLY, THERE WAS A CLUNK AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNING SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS. UPON INSPECTION, THE FRONT PASSENGER TIE ROD HAD DIS-ATTACHED ITSELF FROM THE WHEEL, RESULTING IN NO STEERING CONTROL OF THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT A SPEED GREATER THAN 25 MPH, SERIOUS/FATAL ACCIDENT AND INJURY WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKELY. THIS IS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION OF THE SYSTEM WITH NO PRIOR WARNING SIGNS. NISSAN DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IS NOT THE RESULT OF ANY OWNER FAULT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 ARMADA AND WHEN I WENT TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND I LOST BRAKE POWER. THERE WAS A HORRIBLE GRINDING SOUND AND THE DASHBOARD BRAKE LIGHT LIT UP. AFTER COASTING INTO A PARKING LOT I SHUT MY CAR OFF. MY HUSBAND CAME AND CHECKED THE CAR AND DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE BRAKES WORKED AGAIN. WE STILL HAVE A WARRANTY AND THE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A PROBLEM. UH...WHEN ME AND MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR AND WE LOSE BRAKE POWER...THAT'S KIND OF A HUGE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING IN ARMADA'S SINCE 2004. PLEASE SOMEONE FIX THIS BECAUSE I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR AND THE IT THE ENTIRE REASON I BOUGHT THE ARMADA. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH DOWN A STREET WHEN MY BRAKES LOST PRESSURE AND BEGAN THE ABS CAVITATION. LUCKILY I WAS STILL ABLE TO STOP HOWEVER I HAD ZERO BRAKE PRESSURE AND ANY AMOUNT OF PEDAL MOVEMENT INITIATED THE ABS PUMP BRAKE ACTION. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN STARTING BACK UP RESOLVED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. I TOOK IT TO STADIUM NISSAN IN THE CITY OF ORANGE WHO SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY BRAKE BOOSTER AT A COST OF $800. I'VE SEEN DOZENS OF REPORTS OF THIS EXACT ISSUE ON CLUBARMADA.COM. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ANY CONSUMER WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THE BRAKE FAILURE OCCURED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 35MPH, IT ACTED LIKE THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED. THIS HAPPENED ON A SATURDAY. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER WE PURCHASED IT FROM THE FOLLOWING MONDAY TO GET AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THE DEALER GOT ME IN THE NEXT DAY AND THE TECH SAID THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR THE DEALER SAID THE PART WAS $700.00 AND LABOR WAS $400.00-500.00 BUT IT WOULD ONLY BE 80 PERCENT FIXED. THE PROBLEM WAS A DEFECTIVE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS SINCE 2004 BUT HAS DONE NOTHING FOR ANYONE WHO OWNS A NISSAN VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER RELATIONS THEY STATED A REPLACEMENT OR FIX FOR THIS SAFETY PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE WAS DECLINED DUE TO EXPIRED WARRANTY. T HE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED BY TIME NOT MILES. THE NISSAN REP SAID IT WAS UNSAFE IF THE BRAKES FAIL ANY TIME THE VEHICLES DRIVEN. THE NISSAN REP SAID BASED SOLELY ON EXPIRED WARRANTY ANY REPAIR SERVICE WOULD BE AT OUR EXPENCE. *TT

THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN BRAKES ARE USED, THERE IS A DECREASED BREAKING POWER. THE BRAKES MAKE A CRUNCHING, SPRINGY NOISE WITH THE PEDAL BEING EXTREMELY SOFT UNTIL IT GETS CLOSER TO THE FLOOR AND BEGINS TO GIVE BRAKING POWER. WHEN IGNITION OS TURNED OFF, THE PROBLEM RESOLVES AT LEAST TEMPORARILY. WHEN THE ENGINE HAS TURNED OFF, I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM REOCCUR AS SOON AS 5 MINUTES AND AS LONG AS 3 MONTHS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND HEARD A GRINDING NOISE. THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE, BUT THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COAST TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS SAFELY DRIVEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. I AM HAVING A ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE BRAKES LOCK AND THERE IS A SCREECHING NOISE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN STORE AND THEY SAID THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. IT COST $120.00 FOR THEM TO TELL ME IT WOULD TAKE $900 TO FIX IT. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2008 NISSAN ARMADA BUT WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE PRIOR. ONCE DURING THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS 2011 AND ANOTHER TIME IN JANUARY. IF I KILL THE CAR AND RE-START IT, IT SEEMS TO BE OK. THOSE TWO TIMES WEREN'T MAJOR BUT THIS LAST TIME WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. WHEN I TALK TO THE NISSAN REP, SHE TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THE CASE WAS CLOSED. I AM FURIOUS WITH NISSAN AND THEIR LACK OF CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY. THIS IS THE THIRD NISSAN I HAVE OWNED AND IT WILL BE THE LAST. I HAD HEARD THAT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE AND NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY. THERE IS A LAWSUIT IN THE WORKS FOR THIS REASON WHICH I AM ABOUT TO JOIN IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE. I JUST WANT MY BREAK BOOSTER FIXED AND FOR NISSAN TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE. THAT IS ALL I AM ASKING. I WANT MY ARMADA TO BE PART OF THE RECALL. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN. *TR
