Nissan Armada Reviews

I have a Nissan Armada which I love my truck but the boosters are bad on them. When I'm driving it goes out sometimes which is not safe. I had to check several times. When the light goes off it starts back working again, so therefore the mechanic can't tell what's wrong with. I think we need a recall on the boosters. Sunnyside can clear this up before someone lose their family and himself behind the bass booster on these truck are a refund for the truck I at least another car in the place of it. This is not faith and all please help us to clear this problem. Thanks!

2004 Nissan armada - On several occasions when I'm driving the vehicle with no warning the brakes go out, grind, make like a spring sound, and I'm not able to stop the vehicle. I'm so afraid for my family and our safety. Not to mention the innocent people that could be affected by this defect in the manufacturing and sales of this Nissan. I'm going to the newspaper, news, and social media if this problem is not recalled. Inevitably this is going to cause an accident! "Recall Nissan."

So I bought the truck in 2005 November. It's a 2006 Nissan Armada LE 4x4 fully loaded. I got it with about 18 miles on it. Now it just reached 108k about a week ago. SO FAR THE TRUCK HAS GAVE ME %100! I have taken this truck to mexico 6 times (10k miles each time) And I don't stop on my way to sleep. Only gas stations and two or three rest areas +100F with the AC on and it has never overheated on me once!!! Reasons why it never gave me problems is because I've gave it service whenever it needed it or even before it needed it. (Spark plugs, injector cleaner, air filters, oil change and oil filter) the basics.

I took my wife's truck to work yesterday which is something I never do. On my way home the brake light came on and I had no braking power, while I was on the highway. There was a grinding noise and a buzzing sound. Luckily, I made it to a service station and had it checked out. They called me today saying it was fine now but are suggesting I replace the front and rear rotors and pads plus changing the brake fluid costing $850. I'm glad I looked this issue up before telling them to do the work. This is not a mechanical issue.This is a computer issue Nissan needs to address.

I am having the same problem that it seems every other Armada owner is having with the brake light coming on and when you go to apply the brakes they grid and have a popping noise like a spring. I have a 2005 Nissan Armada 4x4. I have had for about 2 years now and I love everything about it except for this problem. I know there has been a class action lawsuit on this issue but they were only going to give me $20.00 to have this problem fixed just because my car is a 2005. I have been told that it would cost closer to $1,000 or more to have the problem fixed. I don't want the money I just want my car fixed so it is safe for my family. I don't understand why Nissan won't do a recall on this problem considering how many people I have seen complain about the same problem. Can someone help with this issue?

I have a 2005 Armada purchased in 2006. This car now has closed to 200,000 miles. I have been having brakes locked up and grinding issues for years. Car will not move when grinding. I took it in several years ago and service stated that they cannot do anything with it unless it was on. Are these service guys idiots?! I said cannot move car when it comes on. Nissan listen to your consumers. You almost killed me. I was on highway not a road and not going 40 mph. We are talking 65 mph. Your brakes locked up abruptly. My car does not accelerate. I had to try to find a shoulder to creep into to turn off my engine so the brakes would release. Are you trying to kill us? Where the hell is the recall? This is as important as your airbag recall. I have dealt with this for so many years. Fix the issue cause it is still happening for almost 9 years now.

We own a 2006 Nissan Armada that we bought new and has been well serviced over the years. Last fall, right at the 75k mileage mark, the brakes began randomly grinding while we were in traffic on a busy road. For those of you who have experienced similar problems, this class action lawsuit might apply: Banks v. Nissan North America, Inc. **. Overall, we are happy with the Armada, but it shouldn't take a class action lawsuit to fix something that clearly should be a free recall fix. We've had this happen on hilly terrain and it's very dangerous. Fix it Nissan!

I have a 2004 Nissan Armada. The last few years I have been having problems with my brakes. When coming to a stop they start grinding. The brake light comes on and is difficult to stop. I have to turn vehicle off and restart for issue to go away. I have had brakes replaced multiple times and rotors and that does not fix issue. Please recall this issue before someone is serious injured.

I have a 2008 Nissan Armada and my passenger headlight takes on condensation. Once I noticed it I started looking at other Armadas and lo and behold this is a common problem that occurs in many of the Nissan Armadas.

My son-in-law was driving the 2008 Armada yesterday when smoke started pouring out of the a/c vents. He made a turn back towards his home and came to a red light, as he stopped the fire came through the floor and melted his shoes. He had to break through passenger side window, which he had put down a few inches. All doors and windows were inoperable. The Armada was completely destroyed in a matter of minutes. Thank GOD he wasn't hurt! I bought this car from AutoNation used almost three years ago. Why was I not informed about this recall?

I have owned my Armada since new 2011! I have had brakes done x 3, rear hubs go and struts done, rear hubs both sides yet Nissan warranty doesn't cover brake pads except the side done! So my vehicle was kicking out side to side when hitting the smallest ruts in the road, which in northern Alberta are almost every few miles In the roads. My vehicle hands down is a dust bomb. My son has asthma and can't ride in my vehicle! After taking in my Armada x 10 for dust problems a 3rd dealership finally found plugs from factory were missing.

I have a 2010 Nissan Armada SE, with under 36,000 miles on it. Today, after buying some WD40 for the rear truck to fully release, I left the AutoZone lot. When I put the truck in reverse, the transmission changed hard, then the VDC OFF, BRAKE, and SLIP lights came on. When I put the vehicle in drive, and accelerated, the vehicle took off with more torque than it normally does. Upon trying to stop, the brakes went super spongy, and came to a smooth stop, which isn't ok, when your foot has the brake pedal all the way to the floor. I have been reading everything, from the rear lift gate/tailgate issues, with that not fully unlocking, to now this dangerous issue.

115000 HARD Miles.. Takes 800 mile trips in summer and winter never missing a beat. Beginning 3rd set of brakes and 3rd set of tires. Love this truck and everyone thinks it's NEW.. change oil every 3500 miles with Mobile 1 5W30.. and one Miracle Marvel Oil. Changed all fluids as scheduled. I've never had an issue. I tow cars and trucks with it all the time with trailer.. added Bully Dog at 100000 miles and it runs like a bat outta **. Never gonna sell it. Wife has had Jaguar XKR Convertible, Chevy Avalanche LTZ, and now on her second HUMMER and my ARMADA is still KING.

Almost crash brakes fail, start grinding. Had my kids, they were terrified. Had to restart the truck. Light came off Nissan. Need to do something. We should protest in front, one of the dealer.

I have a 2006 Nissan Armada and it starting falling apart around the 75,000.00 mark. First of all, I am now due for what will be my 4th set of brakes. My brake light will come on for no apparent reason while driving and when you try to stop brakes make this grinding noise and makes it hard to come to a stop. If I pull over shut the car off and restart it then it resets. VERY DANGEROUS...

This is sixth Nissan I have owned and by far the best one I have owned. This vehicle blows all the competition away. My wife and I tow a twenty six foot, eighty one hundred pound boat all around the Chesapeake Bay area nine months a year. This vehicle is great.

We have a 2011 Nissan Armada. Started 2014 we started hearing roaring noise after we turn the truck off over the radio area. Nissan dealership call they self fixing it but the noise steady continued on. Is a good truck and we like it a lot, but that is the only real problem that we had. We got it brand new with no miles.

2007 Nissan Armada: I have the same complaint with my brakes as other consumers. The brake light comes on, the brakes start grinding and you can't stop easily. Once you finally stop and turn the car off and restart it, the brake light goes off then stops normally again. You don't get any warning at ALL; this is very serious. Repair shop told us that they couldn't tell us what was wrong unless the light was on when we brought it in. It came on and we took it in and they told us that it was the delta sensor in the Power Brake Booster and that the whole booster had to be replaced. Found part at NAPA for $219.00 plus core and about 4 hrs to change. Then we were told that we had to take in to reset the ECM so that the sensor and ECM will communicate again, another half an hour.

2004 Nissan ARMADA - My brakes are squeaky and I have had them changed twice in 6 months. The front rims collects a lot of dirt. I don't understand what's going on with my brakes. Also my Low warning tire pressure light comes on for no reason, I have had the air pressure checked and it’s up to standard but the light will come on still. I'm loss for answers. Do anyone have to solution to these problems?

I own 2005 armada. My entire braking system failed like 2 months ago. First brakes lost its power all of a sudden with brake, vdc and slip light on. Took it to dealer and they said I need new brake booster and abs module (actuator). Bill is 3500 $ and the problem is still not fixed. But I am just amazed how can entire braking system failed without any warning and why Nissan is not taking it seriously cause it's not only me, it's everyone who is having this trouble. Never ever buy Armada or any Nissan vehicle - am done with them.

My 12-year-old was in my Nissan Armada when it broke down. My coolant leaked into my transmission fluid and my car started to overheat but stop working right on the spot out of nowhere, due to it having no transmission fluid in it!! If I had been on the highway, we all could have died! GOD was on my side and I just happened to be on a side road with like no cars!! 51 people have sign it, let's keep the move going for the people to be heard. We're not going to let companies like Nissan sell us bad cars and trucks that keep breaking down with no recall for all the ones it happened to!!!

I'm working on a 2004 Nissan Armada with a 5.6 liter engine. It had a freeze plug issue, fixed that and now I have water coming out my throttle body, took intake off of it, all gaskets are in good shape. What is the recommend fix for this issue?

We own a 2007 Nissan Armada, purchased in early 2008 from the original owner. The vehicle has been a dream for us, no complaints up until two years ago. Aside from the occasional need for repairs, which were minor and fully covered under the extended warranty, we had no issue whatsoever. In early 2013 we had an incident while driving in a parking lot where out of nowhere, the brakes seemed to lock up on their own. It was as if the e-brake was stuck suddenly. Fortunately we were going slow but the whole vehicle shuddered and grinded. The only solution was to park the car, turn the key off and restart the car.

Brake light comes on, brakes grind when applied and finally the Armada will stop. Went to the local Nissan dealership and was told that there was a service bulletin (NOT A RECALL) and I would be responsible for cost of repairs. I asked what was the diagnosis and the service manager said that they were not sure. Told them I was not going to give them a blank check and vehicle still not be repaired. I had gone online and found out that this is a common problem on the Armada's. Filed a formal complaint with the Federal Highway Administration - big waste of time. DON'T EVER BUY A NISSAN PRODUCE AS THEY WILL NOT REPAIR KNOWN PROBLEMS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH ARMADA'S WITH SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN "HAS NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE". WE CALLED IT BULL DUKIE ON THE FARM.

My 2005 Nissan Armada don’t start and when I check everything what I found is missing fire in the driver side - all four cylinders. My Armada is V 8 5.6. I'm already check all the sensors, crank and cam and everything is good. Let me know if anybody knows the problem. Thanks.

I posted a recent review about the brake issues (grinding and total brake power loss) on the 2004 Armada that I had just purchased. I took it into the dealership as well as contacted Nissan directly. Nissan is fixing the brake issue and it isn't required to bring it in when the issue is occurring. They were able to pull the bulletin up in their computer system and knew exactly what I was talking about.

My Nissan 2004 Pathfinder/Armada brake lights comes on then I hear a grinding sound whenever I press the brake pedal. I can the vehicle off and restart and the problem goes away. Appears that this is a common problem but Nissan apparently has not been made aware of it at the proper levels. Service department said they can start changing parts out unless I can bring it in when it has happened. That is not feasible since I will not drive the vehicle if the brakes are grinding.

I'm also having brake problems with my 2004 Armada. I turn the car on and the brakes are already applied and make grinding noises, I turn the car off then back on and the brakes resets. I just hope this don't happen when I'm driving. Nissan needs to address this issue and have a recall.

My wife Martha while driving from home to buy a pizza in a distance of about 3 miles, her car (2012 Nissan Armada) started smoking inside, under the dash. In reaction to the smoke she opened the windows right away. She hurried to get off the road and pulled over. She tried to get out and the doors will not open. Not even manually. She was desperate as she is 2 months pregnant, so she climbed off the window. Then the windows stopped operating also. They will not go up, they were dead. She was very nervous and hoping the impact of the fall will not harm the baby. A friend that was close by took her to her doctor for a checkup.

2004 Nissan Armada - Have owned for 4 years. Same brake problem everybody has been having (ABS braking malfunction). Has happened twice, both times turn it off and restart and it resets. Once I was towing my boat and about wrecked the first time. The second time with the wife and kids on the interstate! This problem will get someone killed!!! Should be a recall and law suit. Nissan knows about this problem.

I drove my Armada to Florida this past month, driving on I-65 when suddenly the part in the back that houses my third brake light went flying off, almost hitting a car behind me. Then while I was at Disney World the overhead console that houses the DVD player falls off ripping out my wiring and things. VERY UNHAPPY Nissan owner!!! How do I go about getting Nissan to fix these issues!!?

I own a 04 Nissan Armada LE (4x4) since 2006. I got it at a Nissan dealership in GA. with only 20,000 miles on it. Now it has 167,000 miles. The brakes Nissan does know about - when I went to sign for the truck they had a document (which I still have) which stated that Nissan had completed brake work on the truck. Since then the brakes (front) go out while driving, and it seems to be a pressure related item. Once this happens I shift the truck into neutral, turn it off then back on. The computer resets and pressure is back at the front brakes. I took the truck to Nissan in Gulfport MS and they asked me to bring it in when this happens again. The only way to pull that off is to drive with no stopping pressure to the brakes and hope you do not crash trying to make it to Nissan. I have not made it there yet.

I have 06 Nissan Armada and I have experienced brakes problem just like you, even though I maintained brakes system well. The most serious thing is that "YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN YOUR BRAKES FAIL AS WELL AS YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX, BUT WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON YOUR BRAKES!" As we agree, Armada has defective brake system. We need to do something before you or someone who is precious to you dies.

2005 Nissan armada - Brakes suddenly stop working then you hear a grinding noise. I have to turn the car off and back on again and it works again. I have been complaining about this to Nissan since 2008. When you take the vehicle to the dealer they can't find the problem because it doesn't always happen. The scariest thing is that the brakes always stop working while you are driving. I pray every time I get in my car.

I join your comments on the brakes Nissan claims they have no knowledge. This is my second Armada. First 2006 - same problem; 2008 - same problem. The brakes when headed downhill in ice or water or just downhill often grind and does not stop well. The feeling to the foot is like nail through the brake pedal when you are trying to stop the vehicle. Winter months, you can depend on it. Lots of water/rain, you can depend on the grinding in both instances. Sorry, I will not buy the Platinum. Looking for another SUV. I LOVE the Armada, but Nissan claims to be ignorant of any braking problems and it is difficult to re-enact the grinding for the service techs.

On my 2004 armada I've had the same problem. On my brake I've changed it 2 time then I took it to one of my friends. He said I have to change the brake booster. Since then it's fine... And about the window I still have that problem for 4 years. You pay a lot if you own a armada.

I have the same problem with my Nissan armada, too suddenly losing brake and grinding sound. When I turn off the engine and reset it, it stop. When I call up Nissan, they said they never heard of such a complaint that I'm the first to made the complaint about the 2004 armada. If they have more complain like mine they will call it a recall. But Nissan is saying pretty much bend over and here is some grease because we already receive payment for the truck and there is nothing you can do about it besides driving out there and risk killing yourself and others. The 2004 Nissan armada have a serious braking issue that no mechanic at Firestone complete auto care cannot detect. Nissan company is a sleaze bag. Go Toyota, they are the best car I ever driven.

Bought a 2008 Armada. My roof console fell down and almost injured my passenger. Took it in and after several back and forth conversations with the dealer they finally agreed to fix it, only to have it fall down again. My door handle on the back trunk is coming off again after being fixed by Nissan. My front door is off track and makes noise when closed. The slip brake light and vdc is onset for no reason. The brakes have went to the floor along with the traction or stopping. Leaking in back window, which by the way never opened. Scary, unsafe vehicle.

Almost 3 years ago, I reared ended a pick up truck with my 2004 Armada LE. I had to stop suddenly and the brakes did not engage at 100%!! I hit the left bumper of the pick up truck. Bumper was slightly bent downward after I hit the truck. “It was a Very Scary Moment!” Lucky, I was not hurt. But the passenger in the other vehicle did claim the next day, injury! Prior to this accident my Armada has had problems with the brake system. The VDC, Slip, Brake indicators lights coming on And At times I would brake and hear a grinding sound on the left front side. I have turned off the truck and the computer resets and it goes back to a normal operational state! Nissan Has ignored my and consumers complaints on this braking system malfunctioning! And Nissan is AWARE of these brake system problems! Something has to be done. I DO NOT WANT TO DIE IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT OR KILL SOMEONE!!! What To Do?? I know one thing. I Will Never Buy Another Nissan Armada! That’s for sure!

We bought a Brand New 2010 Nissan Armada Platinum in January 2010. A few months ago the paint started failing. I have taken the car to the dealer and they told me to take it to the Nissan authorized body shop in the area. I did this and the body shop told me that the Clear Coat had failed due to bad paint, improper paint mixing or poor paint application. I had the body shop send the quote, pictures and diagnosis to the dealer and they gave me the runaround (Team Nissan in Oxnard, California).
