Brake Electric Antilock Problems of Nissan Armada

October 5, 2005 VIN# 5n1aa08a64n722334 (2004 Nissan Armada) the brakes are defective and do not work properly when applying pressure to stop. We have never received any notification from Nissan disclosing any brake issues or concerns. We have always been the ones to inform the dealer of our problems each time even though there was a Nissan bulletin in existence. Last month (September, 2005) was the first time we received a letter from Nissan with respect to the brakes and they have informed all of the Nissan Armada owners that they will allow unlimited mileage/or up to 36 months to fix anything that has to do with the brakes. After four times getting the brakes fixed the brakes are still defective. The brakes are a hazard to me and my family as well as to others on the road. The brakes vibrate intensely and causes the whole car to shake and vibrate not just the steering wheel. It is hard to control the steering wheel and the vehicle itself is hard to control. My wife and my child are not riding in the vehicle at all and we had bought this vehicle to have as our new safe family vehicle but it is not safe at all. We have begun the process allowed under the massachusetts new car lemon law and other possible options including court action. Just yesterday on October 4th, I (dino) while driving on the highway was almost in a three car accident I had applied my brakes going 50 mph to avoid a another car changing lanes without a signal and when I applied the brakes to avoid the car the brakes vibrated so much and the steering wheel and the whole car shook, I lost control of the vehicle and spun around to the breakdown lane thankfully, and was not hit from behind. I am formally informing the NHTSA of this and am praying that these vehicles are taken off the road before accidents occur and god forbid someone is injured or killed.

Contact owned a 2004 Nissan Armada. T when depressing the brakes front end shakes. The people at Nissan's corporate office thought this was not a big deal because there was not recall. However, the government became involved, and that was why consumer enlisting y help. I began having problems with front rotors in February of 2004. Took vehicle to a local Nissan dealer who fixed the problem by rotating the rotors. Then , on June. I had same the same problem . Called the local Nissan dealer again and they checked the front end again. This time they said that this was a problem that has been happening with the Armada, and that they would have to order the part for the vehicle, and that it would be about three weeks. Three weeks were up Saturday July 16. Consumer called the dealership on July 15 and spoke with someone from service. He advised consumer t that they could not tell when they will be able to fix the truck because they could not order the parts from Nissan. Also, they have a stack of order forms, and if consumer came in about two or three weeks ago then she would have had about 7 or 8 people ahead. When consume r told him that she do not feel safe driving the vehicle, and it did not make her feel any better to know that they did not know when it will be fixed. Dealer then said that the vehicle was safe. Consumer asked him how could it be safe when the front end shakes.

There are multiple issues with the Nissan Armada 2005 vehicle. 1st, the brakes have gone out numerous times and have had to be replaced. 2nd, numerous rattles throughout the vehicle have gone unfixed by Nissan service - some rattles are serious enough to where the front driver's side door opens a inch or so over a large bump in the road (something could be wrong with the latching mechanism or form fit between the door and body). The rear cargo door has rattle and vibration issues. 3rd) a serious visibility issue through the front windshield has been ignored by Nissan service and customer service. There is a serious visiual problem through the front windshield that causes double vision (some sort of optical issue with carlex glass) - Nissan has refused to repair due to comparison with other Armadas have the same issue.
