2004 Nissan Crew

I HAVE HAD MY ARMADA IN FOR BRAKE SERVICE 4 TIMES NOW .MY WIFE CAN'T WORK ON THAT DAY AND ISN'T PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR FOR A DEFECT THAT IS NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY NEEDS TO QUIT DANCING AROUND THIS ISSUE AND MANUFACTURE CORRECTLY DESIGNED BRAKE ROTORS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THEY NEED TO PROVIDE VEHICLES TO THOSE THAT NEED TO GET TO WORK .THIS IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY OR THEY ARE GOING TO LOOSE A LARGE PORTION OF THEIR CUSTOMER BASE TO TOYOTA AND OTHERS WITH PROVEN RELIABILITY. *JB

I BOUGHT MY ARMADA IN OCT 2004 AND IT WAS IN FOR REPAIRS BY NOV 2004, THE FRONT END/BRAKES WOULD VIOLENTLY VIBRATE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP, THE ROTORS ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER MAJOR COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED WHICH TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM. BY THE BEGINNING FEB 2005 MY ARMADA WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE EXACT REPAIRS WHICH AGAIN WILL TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED BY NMAC THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY ARE AWARE OF AND THEY ARE "WORKING ON A REMEDY", SO FOR THE MEAN TIME, MY ARMADA SITS IN MY GARAGE UNTIL NISSAN COME UP WITH A "REMEDY" FOR THIS PROBLEM, I HOPE THEY EXPEDITE THIS PROCESS BEFORE TRAGEDY STRIKES.*JB

MY TRUCK HAS 8,000 MILES. 1ST THE MAIN COMPUTER SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND I HAD TO WAIT A WEEK TO BE REPLACED. THEN MY BRAKES STARTED SHAKING SO THEY GRINDED DOWN MY ROTORS.THEN THE BRAKES STARTED SHAKING AGAIN SO THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THEN TWO MONTHS LATER THE BRAKES WENT AGAIN SO THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS AGAIN. THEN ON A COLD DAY I WENT TO OPEN MY CAR AND THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE SO I COULDN'T CLOSE MY DOOR. THE DEALER REPLACED IT. NOW THREE WEEKS LATER THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE AGAIN AND MY REAR WINDOW WIPER STOPPED WORKING. NISSAN TELLS ME THAT THEY HAVE A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THE DOOR HANDLES.

BRAKES TOO SMALL FOR TRUCK. BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT AND ROTOR WARP EVERY APPROX. 3,000.00 MILES. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER IT WILL BE ANOTHER 6 TO 12 MONTHS BEFORE NISSAN WILL PROVIDE A REPAIR KIT TO THE DEALERS THAT WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME THE BRAKE PADS RUB AGAINST THE ROTORS, EVEN WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING USED, AND THE ROTORS WARP BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. *JB

I HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE ON MY NISSAN TITAN FOR THE 4TH TIME IN 10 MONTHS. EACH TIME IT GETS MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO CONVINCE THE DEALER TO ABSORB THE COSTS , EVEN THOUGH NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEGED AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THE DEALER (QUALITY NISSAN IN TMEMCULA) SEEMS UN SYMPATHETIC AND EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THE SDERVICE IS GETTING WORSE AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS COSTING ME A DAY OR MORE EACH TIME THESE BRAKES FAIL. *AK

THE NISSAN TITAN STARTED SHIMMIED AFTER 5 WEEKS FROM PURCHASE DATE. IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKES WERE BAD AND A PIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FOLLOWING THE PIN REPLAEMENT, THE BRAKES WERE STILL BAD AND THE SHIMMIED CONTINUED. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT BRAKE PADS WERE NEEDED. THE PADS WERE ORDERED - DURING THE INTERIM THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE TURNED. THREE WEEKS AFTER THIS THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND CONTINUED MAKING A BEEPING CHIME TO ALERT OF THE BRAKE MALFUNCTION, IT WS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE ONCE AGAIN AND I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE PADS WERE AGAIN WORN AND THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED AGAIN. THIS WAS DONE, HOWEVER, UPON PICKING UP THE TITAN FROM SERVICE, THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND THE SHIMMYING WAS NOT GONE. NOW I HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN. I FEEL THIS IS UNJUSTIFIED - AND WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN. -*AK

I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA ON JUNE 18,2004. THIS IS MY THIRD NISSAN VEHICLE. IN AUGUST, I STARTED FEELING THAT, WHEN BRAKING, MY CAR VIOLENTLY PULLS TO ONE SIDE, AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT MY BRAKES WERE BAD AFTER ONLY 2000 MILES. ALSO, MY FRONT WINDOWS SQUEAK AND DO NOT GO UP SMOOTHLY. AFTER BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE ROTORS WERE CUT AND NEW BRAKE PADS INSTALLED. (BAY RIDGE NISSAN INVOICE #174068 SEPT. 17,2004). THEY ALSO REPLACED 2 WINDOW REGULATORS. ON NOV 8, 2004 AT 3750 MILES MY BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY. I WAS STOPPED AT THE LIGHT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I PULLED UP AND TRIED TO STOP, ALL I HEARD WAS METAL ON METAL NOISE AND THE CAR WON'T STOP. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM. AFTER THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. (BAY RIDGE NISSAN NOV. 8,2004). ORIGINALLY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS ON LOCAL BACKORDER, BUT WEEK LATER THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT IT IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER, AND NOBODY KNOWS WHEN I'M GETTING MY CAR BACK. EVERY MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH BRAKES ON THESE TRUCKS, AND NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. EVEN AFTER THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK. IF THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS USELESS AND CANNOT PROVIDE ANY SOLUTIONS. *JB
