Brake Sensor problems of the 2004 Nissan Armada

The side airbags deployed without any incident of an accident or crash. There was no accident-nothing was but or bumped just driving 35 mph and the side airbags deployed fully and the seat belts on the driver and passenger side tightened to the point of restricted breathing. The seatbelts no lomger can be used as they should. They do not extend out fully. And the airbag sensor light is constantly. Before the deployment of the side airbags the brakes would grind to the point of needing to pull over to pump the brakes in order for them to function again properly. This would happen every 100 miles or so.

My wife was driving about 30 mph in the evening and all of a sudden with no accident no fender bender or bump the side airbags deployed for no reason, shaken and scared she called me to inform me of the situation, thankfully my kids were not in the car at the time! I began to do research and found that I wasn't the only one, this airbag sensor that is bad on all Armadas were recalled except the 04 model according to Nissan customer service, so initially I was appaled, the nice lady at Nissan said that in order for me to do anything further I would have to pay for a diagnostic out of my own pocket like the other poor guy on here who payed and was out of a vehicle for about 3 weeks just to end up in a situation where they won't do anything about it after they find that the sensor states vehicle was in a roll over accident even though it wasnt!!! what are we as consumers to do in a bad situation like this? car has about 137766 miles driven,.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Armada. The contact stated while traveling at any speed, the abs sensor illuminated and there was a loud springing sound intermittently coming from the brakes. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer. The technician cleared the computer for the vdc code, replaced the ball bearings and the differential housing. The failure recurred. The contact had to continuously turn off the vehicle and restart it in order to reset the abs sensor and the vdc sensor to no avail. The vehicle was to be inspected, diagnosed and repaired. The contact was not included in NHTSA campaign id numbers: 07e046000 (equipment). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 108,000. Pam updated 8/11/cn.

For everyone with the brake issue on the Nissans 2004-2007. This is a faulty delta stroke sensor and Nissan has been aware of it since 2004. I just got off the phone with Nissan north America and was declined like everyone else because I am out of warranty. This has nothing to do with warranty. There are over 296 complaints on this website and the NHTSA has done nothing. There is a class action lawsuit for all consumers who own a vehicle with this issue under brandon banks and erin banks. There is also an attorney for class action against Nissan for this issue as well her name is liz johnson at cory, watson law phone number is 205-328-2200 I urge everyone to call her please.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that the brakes failed. The contact had to use the emergency brake in order to stop the vehicle. The contact spoke to a dealer and was told that a brake sensor may have needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not inspected. The failure and the current mileages were 99,500.

I have already submitted complaint along with up of 200 others in regards to the faulty delta sensor in the brake booster causing the brakes to fail without warning, Nissan knows of this problem and does nothing, I am now prepared to go to abc news with all the information that I am collecting. I hope that they will see that the NHTSA is doing something about all the complaints they have received. I have not seen up to this point any open investigations. I hope someone doesn't have to die first. Thank you.

Nissan Armada (and titan which is identical mechanically) has a known problem with it's front brakes being undersized in the early models of said vehicles (model years 2004-2006). This can easily be confirmed by Nissan's three changes they have made to the front brakes of these vehicles even though the vehicles have essentially remained unchanged from years 2004 right up though the current model year 2015. They first changed the rotor thickness, then the rotor diameter (320mm to 350mm) and the calipers/torque members/brake hoses, then finally they changed the inner hub diameter of the rotor due to an increase in the hub/bearing size (82mm to 90mm). Nissan had issued at least one TSB about this problem but they never issued a recall which is what they should have done. The core issue is that these rather large full size SUV's and pickup trucks were designed initially with front brakes that were severely undersized for the weight/size of the vehicle. This led to the vehicles rotors easily overheating and glazing the brake pads which then led to hot spotted, warped, or otherwise ruined front rotors and pads. Another symptom (that I believe it caused and the most dangerous part) is that especially in the warmer months the overheating of the rotors would cause the anti lock front brake system sensors (located within the front wheel hub) to trigger (false positive) randomly and you would dangerously lose control of the vehicles ability to brake (and steer) safely. Turning the vehicle off momentarily and restarting would "clear" the problem but never the less extremely unsafe. I have contacted Nissan of north America customer service and informed them of this but they are unwilling to help other than to tell me to take it to a dealer at my own cost. I said I would be happy to do so if they covered the cost of the "diagnostics" but they refused.

We purchased a 2004 Nissan Armada in March of 2004. Since almost day one we have had ongoing brake problems (mostly rotor and caliper related). In January of 2006, my wife and three of my children were in the car when the brakes completely failed. Fortunately, my wife was able to drive up an embankment and stop the vehicle before anyone was hurt. The diagnosis was a failed delta stroke sensor in the brake booster. A repair was made, but since that time we experienced intermittent warning lights for the vehicle dynamic control and slip. Last week we started to experience severe steering wheel and brake vibration. We took the vehicle in for service and the diagnosis was a failed abs unit, a burned out 4 wheel drive computer, and a failed switch in the brake booster. These parts have been replaced, but the vehicle is still showing errors when hooked up to the diagnostic computer and is still under repair, but nobody is sure (including Nissan) what the problem is. I feel that this vehicle is unsafe to drive.

Multiple issues with the brake system rotors, pads, calibers, sensors, brake booster. Nissan acknowledge issues and extends brake warranty but not for long enough and does not address the problem since it continues to re-occur.

Nissan Armada has a known problem with it's front brakes being undersized in the early models of said vehicles (model years 2004-2006). Several times have had issues with brakes not respoding and lost control of vehicle. This is caused by undersized breaks. Not having proper sized brakes has led to rotors easily overheating and glazing the brake pads which then led to hot spotted, warped, or otherwise ruined front rotors and pads. The greatest unsafe symptom is that especially in the warmer months the overheating of the rotors would cause the anti-lock front brake system sensors to trigger (false positive) randomly and you would dangerously lose control of the vehicles ability to brake (and steer) safely.

I have brought my Nissan armanda 2004 4x4 le in several times after researching several web-sites the brakes, rotors and abs sensors are a constant issue with this model. To this date my dealer can not fix this issue. I am concerned about the safety of my family and others on the road. This brake issues occurs while driving with no notification until you try to stop.
