I was driving along on the freeway after replacing the rear control arms as those were rusted out as well and the driver side wheel started wobbling so I pulled over with the family in it to look, and the bearing had come loose after fixing the bearing at a shop nearby driving down the road. It still felt like it was wobbling brought it into the shop looked underneath, and the subframe is actually cracked, though it states that this recall had been complete completed.

After making a left turn I heard a loud popping sound from the rear of the vehicle so I continued driving at about 20mph. for about another 350 yds. While making a right turn into my apartment. I heard a loud clanked sound. I looked and saw that the upper control arm on the rear drivers side had broke apart due to rust. Luckily I was only pulling into my apartment. I was quite disturbed by this incident because I had just gotten off the interstate with my family in the vehicle with me..

This issue had been going on for years with my 2004 Nissan Armada. Driving down the freeway at approximately 70mph and the brake light comes on out of no where. When this happens there us no way to safe stop the vehicle because the brakes will not engage. There is this rattling and grinding sound that happens each time. The only way to safely continue is turn the truck off and back on. This needs to be corrected immediately before there is a fatal because of brake failure. Nissan refuse to research all the complaints.

As I was driving through the canyon at 55 mph I pressed on my brakes to begin to slow down for the construction zone coming up and they felt like air no pressure then there was a grinding sound like something was breaking underneath my vehicle as I let off my brakes the brake light came on and it sounded like a spring releasing under my vehicle. I attempted to use my brakes almost a dozen times attempting to stop with the same grinding and spring sound happening. Once I was finally able to come to a safe stop I turned my vehicle off and once I turned it back on the brake light was off and the pressure was back in my brakes

The vehicle will start having erratic rpms, hesitation to accelerate, engine rpms will not go above 2000-2500 or below 1000-300 without severe hesitation, then sometimes it will just completely shut down everything no matter if stopped at a light or driving highway speeds. Total loss of vehicle control happens... No brakes, power steering, no acceleration. Every light turns on on dash and if your driving at the time you better hope that you can quickly throw it in neutral, crank the engine at least 2-4 times before it'll start up, then kick it back in drive to gain control of the vehicle again so you can pull over somewhere safe before you get into a serious wreck. Taking it to nissan was pointless since after you get the armada restarted, it doesn't retain any codes that the dealership can use to diagnose the problem nor can the mechanic replicate the issue on test drives. At which point I look like I'm the crazy one, then they send me off on my way with no answers. The only other problem that the armada had long before this problem, during it, and currently IS a cracked exhaust manifold which, too, IS apparently a very common issue that plagues other armadas which nissan refused to acknowledge as a very common problem and issue a recall. This issue IS hard to support with pics or documents since it almost always occurs while the vehicle IS in motion so you're too occupied trying not to kill yourself or others on the road and when you do go to nissan there no codes to pull since I guess the vehicle erases it after the complete loss of power. Feels like I'm chasing my tail...

Traveling on highway at 65 mph near my offramp when brake light came on the dash again. This has happened several times in the past few months and it doesn't get driven on a regular basis as it IS our 3RD vehicle. As I approached the ramp with brakes even lightly depressed the brakes chattered and felt week. Had to stop on the ramp, shut the engine off and restart so I could continue. At least this time I knew what to do to make go away at least temporarily. We have to always make sure we have plenty of extra space in front of us so we time to react if it happens again. I just hope it doesn't happen in an emergency situation. Also had an incident while towing a small utility trailer early in 2020 when it happened and it was much more extreme and I was afraid I would not be able to stop it at the upcoming stop sign. Nissan needs to figure out what IS causing this and fix it at their cost. If it can be rest by just turning the key off someone should be able to figure this out. My understanding from the forums I have red that the dealers just take your money to replace parts that don't fix the problem. There was even on who said they replaced almost all brake related parts and it still did it.

This problem has happened numerous times at various speeds from 10mph to 70mph.while driving on city streets and freeways and need to come to a stop the brake light, vdc off light, and slip light came on. When brakes applied, very loud grinding/clunking metal noise happened and brakes would not engage only at about 10% of brakes working it seems. I stop turn off the car and start it back up and it seems to reset. This cannot happen as I almost got into numerous collisions because of this ABS brake malfunction !! Doing research on this problem from other armada owners forums this problem happens quiet frequently. Some owners came to the conclusion that its a faulty delta sensor in the brake booster. Nissan must recall this problem asap!!

In the last several weeks on two occasions since being purchased in jan of this year (2020) the brakes on my 2004 nissan pathfinder/armada off-road RWD have out of the blue, once at highway speed chattered while applying the brake and felt like they were not at 100%. The next time it was on a residential street, had just left a residence a half block away doing under 20 mph and it felt like the whole front suspension was falling off because it was chattering so bad. Didn't even hit the brakes hard and was afraid it wasn't going to stop at the stop sign. it continued to do it every time I depressed the peddle even very lightly. I had to pull around the corner and stop to check it out but couldn't find anything loose or wrong. I started off again several times before just pulling over and stopping to call a tow truck. It did not feel safe to make the 20 minute drive home. Once it was home it was like it never happened. I read some blogs that suggest that this IS a widespread issue with this vehicle and they should be recalled and fixed free of charge. They say there IS a fix (reprogramming the computer or something). The blogs say that the dealers are charging big bucks to do the work. This IS a huge safety issue and should be dealt with immediately. I can't believe that nissan hasn't been forced to recall these vehicles before this since it IS way too common according the blogs. We purchased this vehicle primarily to transport our grandchildren and are now very hesitant as well as there parents are to have them ride in this vehicle. The brakes have been fully inspected by a mechanic and no mechanical issues are present. We are the second owner and it has been very well maintained. Cause: unknown. I am looking for a dealer now to see what they will do for us. *tr

Several times when driving my brake light will come on along the brake does not engage. When you press on the pedal you hear a loud grinding sound similar to springs being ejected from the car. It does not slow down the vehicle at all and the grinding IS loud and seems to be damaging internal parts. When you turn the engine off, and restart it the problem goes away. I took it to the nissan dealership in fremont ca. They advised to change the brake pads and rotors. Which I elected to do and cost me a lot of money. Immediately after leaving the dealership it happened again. I called the next day for they were closed. They said that they didn't see any errors on their reader and cannot replace parts when there are nothing showing. I insisted to take it in and the mechanic suggested I clean the battery or get a new battery which I did. The problem stoped for a month until it happened again while driving 50mph down a windy road. It nearly killed me! The closest description I have of the problem IS explained on this youtube video I found https://youtu.be/jvcrd2lxti8

Just recently purchased this huge monstrosity for my 3 children; today as we were driving the brakes completely went out! 10% braking power. Now im reading a 2016 class action and a lawsuit where a peron was killed. There are multiple posts regarding this issue. Nissan needs to recall this before more people are killed!

Note that this vehicle was purchased used about 2 years ago without any service history from the previous owner. However I was able to confirm no outstanding recalls open on the vin. while traveling home (45mph) I observed the brake light illuminate on the dashboard and noticed the brakes were malfunctioning. When attempting to depress the brake pedal the abs/brakes appeared to make grinding/metallic noises and the brake pedal would vibrate and go to the floor. I thought that a brake line or fluid issue may have occurred, but when I stopped the vehicle and turned off the ignition I did not see any visual issues. Then upon restarting the vehicle the issue was no longer present. When I researched this issue I found hundreds of complaints about nissan brakes having similar issues and found a service bulletin ntb06-040.pdf regarding the issue. Upon using a scantool to read the vehicle codes I was able to confirm that dtc c1179 was present and that this issue was related to the service bulletin. The service bulletin indicates a software update addresses the issue. I contacted nissan consumer affairs and they indicated nissan would not be able to assist due to the age of the vehicle. I am concerned about the number of complaints I am seeing online (clubarmada, nissanhelp, etc) regaing this issue and feel that if a software update IS needed to resolve than there IS either 1) a software bug (which needs a recall) or 2) a defective sensor (delta sensor) that the software update chooses to ignore or diminish. Either way a random brake malfunction that can "fix" itself upon reboot (restarting the vehicle) seems suspicious and should be investigated.

Press brakes and they start jumping and make a weird sound, don't work correctly as if you loose your breaks for sometime, pull over shut car off wait and then restart and everything IS back to normal - scary at high speeds on the highway, this has been a continous problem and even my work around IS no longer working. this happens atleast once a month with continued driving so I use my other car more often than not.

INTRODUCTION Nissan is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign on certain specific model year 2004-2012 Armada, 2004-2012 Titan, and 2004-2009 Quest vehicles, to inspect and if necessary, replace the driver Air Bag Cover. This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor. IDENTIFICATION NUMBER Nissan has assigned identification numbers PC944, PC946, PC947 and PC949 to this campaign. The vehicle specific number must appear on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign. DEALER RESPONSIBILITY It is the dealers responsibility to check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS) National Service History for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in a dealers inventory.
