Nissan Armada Reviews

I have a 2006 Nissan Armada and we have been having issues with it. The car randomly brakes on its own without me pushing on the brakes. The brake light comes on and the car brakes without any warning while I am driving on the highway or anywhere and that is very dangerous especially if you have children because the car behind you will definitely hit you if this happens.

After I bought the Armada I've been very happy with everything except the brake indicator comes on and sometimes when I brake it shakes and grinds and sounds like the whole thing is coming apart. I did some research online and I'm not sure where I found it but it said that the problem was with the on board computer. And by restarting the engine that reboots the computer the noise stops. This has only happened a couple of times, a garage in Oceanside California suggested I replace the entire front end for 3400.00. I just pull over and restart the engine. The second problem is with the rear alignment. It seems to go out of alignment easily. I had to replace the rear tires after only 6 months of wear because I wasn't aware of the problem. I couldn't find any Nissan dealer that would admit this was a problem with other owners. This website is not the only place I have found these complaints.

I own a 2009 Armada. Jan 2014 I had some grinding noises & brake light coming on, took it to the Dealer where I bought it. They found Front Brakes, Rotors Bad & found Struts Bad. They replaced the struts under Warranty. I had to pay to have the rotors Ground & replace the Brakes. I had 23,195 miles at that time. I now have 25,985 miles and heard same noise again, took it to the Dealer & they found Front Drivers Side Caliber Frozen & Rear brakes. Now Rotors. They said replace. I asked why not grind like they did on the Fronts in Jan 2014. They agreed to grind Rotors & replace the Brake Pads at my cost again.

2004 Nissan Armada Throttle Body - Even though my husband said don't buy the Armada the first year out, I had to! Wanted it and loved it till last month. I just perused many reviews and see that most complain about the brakes. Nissan did under-engineer them for the size and weight. They replaced my rotors free the first time. OK. I had to pay the next time out of pocket. They work fine with an occasional weird awful grind thing that happens after I am parked. I have to stop, turn off and restart.

The brake light came on while driving on September 1, 2014 and brakes made grinding noise while vibrating. My brakes failed to stop my vehicle!!! The Nissan dealership reported Code 1179 for Brake Booster failure and quoted $1069 for repair. I've contacted North American Nissan and NHTSA to report what is apparently a Known Driving Hazard!!!

My Nissan Armada 2007 Braking system is malfunctioning. My brakes lights comes on and I cannot have a firm brake grip. It looks like a lot of people have been having this issue and Nissan will have to look at this issue.

I bought my Nissan armada 4 months ago and it was the worst mistake ever. My brakes failed last night and light came on brake light.. I got it stopped by the grace of God with two babies in the back row. I got to store and turned car off. Call hubby. When we started the car back it hasn't did it. We have had car looked at by Nissan and other repair places but it don't do it all the time, so they can't fix something that don't happen when they drive it. So whatever NISSAN, this is not the only problem. The auto leveling shocks system in rear is a problem too that needs to be addressed by Nissan..... I am so mad this suck. I don't have a pocket full of money to own a Nissan armada. I traded a Toyota for this with not one problem ever...... NISSAN IS GOING TO WAIT UNTIL IT KILL MILLION OF PEOPLE THEN DO SOMETHING..... JUST LIKE GENERAL MOTORS.

I bought my 2004 Nissan Armada new and have, like most other Armada owners, dealt with random braking problems over the years. When the brake warning light comes on by itself, you can expect not to have much braking power due to the antilock system turning on randomly. If you turn the truck off and restart it, the problem will go away. It will randomly happen at any time regardless of weather or driving conditions. A mechanic friend of mine studied the problem and tried realigning the steering wheel via the computer settings and the problem was fixed for over 2 years. Now it is happening again so I will try having the steering wheel adjusted again. Also the VDC Off, Brake, and Slip lights will all come on randomly. This doesn't appear to cause any noticeable changes when driving the vehicle but something is not quite right if lights randomly come on like that.

Let's start with the alignment. I've had too many to count, but there is nothing wrong. The biggest problem is the mysterious brake issue, at any random time the brakes sound like they are about to fall out, the "brake" light comes on and the only thing to do is pray you can get your vehicle to stop so you can shut it off. Apparently that's what resets the brakes. Why can't anyone figure out what the problem is. Many people can't possibly make up the same story... DO NOT BUY AS A FAMILY VEHICLE.... NOT SAFE ! ! !

My Nissan Armada 2008 has had Brake issues for several years. I have taken it to a Nissan dealer as well as a mechanic. They could never find what was wrong. The brakes just randomly start pulsating out of nowhere sounding like a spring popping. You can not stop the car and I pray I am not close to any cars so that I can stop. The only fix is to turn the car off and back on to reset something. I have a new driver in the family and am scared for her to even drive it. I had to stop in the middle of a busy highway just last week and turn off and back again to get the brakes to work. VERY SCARY. It only happens now and again but when it does, it is very scary.

Like many other owners of the Nissan Armada, I have a 06. And we too have experienced the very same thing. Its natural to let up off the brakes when you hear the popping and grinding to prevent further damages to any other part of the system, but could be great risks involved. Fortunately we have not been in any accidents nor caused any. I have changed out all rotors and brakes, manually checked for leaks in and around the calipers, cylinders and booster. Everything is dry and tight. Clearly this is some type of computer error. Nissan needs to address this problem regardless of how long we all have been owning our Armadas at no cost to us.

I have a 04 Armada that I bought in 06 only had 20,000 miles on it. I'm a very loyal Nissan owner. I have a 99 Altima I purchased new. It just tripped to 300,000 miles with only minor problems over the years. I also have a 99 Pathfinder for 8 yrs. My complaint is I've had brake problems for a long time on my Armada. They would make a loud slipping noise & hiss, make popping sounds as if they were blowing air. They would go to the floor & the brake light would come on. Once the switch is turned off & restarted, they are fine again for awhile but like everyone else's complaints, they don't do it all the time. They do it if I'm slipping in the snow really bad also. I think it's a problem that Nissan should address also.

I own a 2004 Nissan Armada and the VDC off and slip indicator lights will come on randomly for no apparent reason while driving.

I am the owner of a 2004 NISSAN ARMADA, got it brand new. After 2 years. the braking problem start, first the light comes on then the brake goes. All you have is grinding and rattling and no brakes. Whenever this happens, you have to put your driving skills to the test in a hurry. I will not let my wife or kids drive my NISSAN ARMADA because it is very unsafe. First, I have to put the NISSAN ARMADA in neutral and let it cruise to a safe stop if traffic and unsafe conditions allow, then restart the engine that sometimes will reset the on board computer.

I have a 2005 Nissan Armada LE. It only has 38000 miles on it as we only use this car for family activities. Around 18000 miles (after 6 years), the Check Engine light went on, and I have to replace the O2 sensor on the driver's side. Somewhere around 21500 miles, with the whole family on the truck, we were doing around 30 MPH and was approaching the light. When I hit the brakes, we heard this grinding noise and the braking power is much less than normal. The Brake light was ON, which only lit up when the safety/foot brake is pressed. But when I checked, the safety/foot brake was indeed released. Good thing we had sufficient distance from the car ahead of us and we were able to stop just in time.

CLASS ACTION SUIT OR RECALL!!!! There are too many people having the same problems with their Nissan Armada Brakes! I too, have the same random grinding, scraping, brake pedal sinking, barely stopping, frightening experience which no one, out of the many places I've taken it to, can fix. HOW DO WE DO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR RECALL? Can anyone help? Can all of us get together on this? Does anyone know any attorneys? LET'S GET THIS THING STARTED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!

I used to love my truck until everything that shouldn't fall apart is now falling off. I had many used cars in my life and this truck was the first vehicle I purchased brand new and the problems keep coming. I never thought I would have to purchase or replace door hinges, window switches, cigarette sockets, etc.. Everyone I know is having the same problems with this truck so I don't believe it's the consumer's problem. It's a problem Nissan should fix!!!!

I have a 2005 Nissan Armada. First drive out of the lot, I loved it. Driving it for a few months, it ride really, really rough. Took it to the dealer and they told me that is how it should feel because it's designed for heavy towing. Later found out it has air leaked from the suspensions. Cost me lots of money to replaced everything underneath. It still ride like it's off balance. Both of my headers were cracked - have to replaced aftermarket products. Dealer wants $2000 for each. Cost me $700.00 for both done. Now brake light on with grinding loud popping noise like my brake gonna fall apart and no stopping power. Have to restart the engine to have my brake work again. This is a safety issue!!! My rear door won't close automatically on a hot day. I also own a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac but never have a problem with it. Nissan need to do something about it before the media gets involve!!!!

We had bought a 2013 Nissan Armada as a second car to haul around a lot of kids. With only 6000 miles on it and the car being 6 months old, it would not start. To top it off, yesterday exiting the free way the car just stalled. I had taken it in to Nissan because it was under warranty. All they did was replace the battery. Beside that it's very Loud and bad on gas. For the price of one of these you’re better off buying a Yukon or Tahoe. I currently have a 2009 Yukon 70000 miles - not one problem. Great car. Take my advice, pass on the Nissan Armada. I have currently traded it in for a 2015 Yukon. What a nice car.

I own a 2009 Nissan Armada LE 2WD. Roughly 3 or 4 times now, while typically sitting in traffic or at a light, the "Brake" light and the "Check Engine" lights illuminate. At this point, the brake pedal becomes very soft and when released there is a popping sound, like a spring is letting loose. When I turn, the engine is turned off and back on, the problem goes away.

At 39,000 miles on the 2005 Nissan Armada, the trans oil cooler module in the radiator bursts and surges coolant into the transmission. Replaced the radiator for $900 and flushed the transmission. It limped in along for one year and now it's toast. My transmission expert with 40 years experience found where Nissan had this very same issue and recalls on 3 smaller Nissan SUVs and with the same model # transmissions. I called Nissan Consumer affairs and they tell me yes it may be the same model number transmission and yes it was an identical problem that caused the transmission to fail but since the Armada (of the same years as the others) was not included in the recall, I have to bear the cost to the tune of $5,900 for a brand new transmission. Add this to the cost of the $900 radiator. Now to slap me in the face more, the other SUVs are getting extended 80,000 mile warranty and I get the kiss off. Nissan...here I come. I am not taking this one lying down. It's your product, stand behind it and stand behind me rather than the small loss to take care of a customer.

When I moved, I drove from Philadelphia to Miami Beach. When arrived, the entire driver's and passenger front floor was completely wet. My friend told me it probably has something to do with the air conditioning system, because of the long ride. It's never happened since, but I don't know if it will. Other than that I'm very satisfied with the vehicle. Except that the seats don't go up enough and I have to drive with a pillow, lol. Have a blessed, exciting, adventurous, and awesome time in this life!!!... ;-)

I have the same problem. I own a 2004 Nissan Armada. The brake just go out and you have to turn the vehicle off and back on again and pray the brakes work again. No mechanic knows what the problem is. I complained to Nissan and they claim they never heard of the problem. This issue should be a recall. Maybe we have to bring all this concerns to the news and see if the company finally do something about it.

My 2006 Nissan Armada has all of the same issues with the Brakes, Console, Suspension, Wheel Alignment and Paint. The biggest issues are the brakes and the wheel alignment, these are the most concerning due to failure, could result in loss of life to the occupants. Automotive makers need to be held accountable for withholding critical information from the consumer. These cars are expensive and are obviously over priced claiming safety requirements result in higher cost. We as consumers need to use social networks to complain and advertise against these corporations just as they use them to advertise to the consumer.

I own a 2008 Armada and in less than 5 years, the top console fell off while I was driving, I took it to the dealer and they told me there is nothing they can do that I will have to order a new piece. A few weeks later the front of the console by driver side started falling as well. The plastic they used to make this console is cheap plastic. Not only that, I also had my engine changed in less than 5 years, took my car to Nissan several times for a smoke coming out of the muffler, after several visits they kept telling me they fixed me and nothing..

I purchased the 2008 Armada brand new out of Austin TX. Within 3 years the entire back part of the upper console fell down. I took it to the local Nissan dealer in Killeen, TX immediately. The service tech tried to tell me that it looked like someone had pulled it down. The service tech disassembled the piece that was left hanging so it wouldn't come crashing down (so he says). The dealer said that there was nothing that they could do. I called Nissan Corporate. I voiced my concerns that substandard materials had been used. I also stated that a vehicle that was only 3 years old, and costing that much should not be experiencing this type of problem.

We own the 2007 Nissan Armada and after reading everyone's comments, I also deal with many of the same problems. Every time I drive over about a bump or even railroad tracks, the truck wiggles in the rear. I took it back to the dealership I bought it from and they can't seem to find what's wrong with the truck but after researching it and googling it, it obviously has to do something with the suspension or the brake system; who knows. I spent several hours at the dealership and the mechanic still can't find out the problem after test driving it twice and getting a wheel alignment. I feel that Nissan is aware that there is a problem with Armadas and they're still selling them. They shouldn't be sold being that there are so many problems with their trucks. This is not right. The fact that no one such as the BBB has stepped in to confirm all of these complaints is mind blowing.

I own a 2004 nissan armada and was happy up until the problems like everyone else is having. First it was the brake issue that surprisingly no one can solve. It brakes really hard like grinding and shakes suddenly when you brake, it seems to happen whenever it feels like, upon changing parts after parts, the problems still occur from time to time. Then both front window motors go out.

I had the same brake problems that started about 3 years after I got my car. The brake just go out and you have to turn the vehicle off and back on again and pray the brakes work again. No mechanic knows what the problem is. I complained to Nissan and they claim they never heard of the problem. This issue should be a recall.

I'm taking my free time writing this article to all you people who are complaining about your Armada. I want to wish you good luck in expressing your emotions. I own a Nissan 2004 Armada too. I have the same brakes problem, I tried and tried to fix the problem. I took it to well reputable company such as Firestone Complete Auto Care and spend close to a thousand dollar to have it repair and checked and inspected. They did everything, I have documents stating it is safe for a year. I drove down New York City with my family and have more than 10 brakes failure.

I would like to go to the point. I have been about to kill myself and family, not to mention other people on the road while driving my 2004 Nissan Armada. I think there is too many complaints about NISSAN ARMADAS. And what is the consumer afairs doing about this issue, that can cause if not has already causes death to inocent people... This vehicles don't cost pennies. We the consumers pay top dollars, therefore Nissan should take full responsibility for their products... Or do we all have to get together and file a lawsuit against Nissan, would that solve the ongoing problem?... Just a question.

After reading these blogs, my Armada 2004, 86,000 miles, has all these problems. Lift works sometimes, brake light comes on and a very noisy stop (turning off and restarting vehicle corrects this problem), and transmission that feels as if it is slipping at times. I would think Nissan would attempt to correct these problems since it appears that from the first model year of the Armada (2004) to present, the vehicle has some serious issues. I called the manufacturer and they said they would forward my complaints. Guess what's in my mailbox weekly now. Promotions to buy another Nissan.

I'm so surprised by these reviews. I drove a 2006 Armada that I bought new. Loved it! 3 years later when my lease was up, I bought a 2008. I will say my brake booster box went out in my 06. It wasn't under warranty but my local Nissan dealership said that it should not have gone out that soon and they covered all the repairs. 2 weeks ago, I was broadsided by another car at a high speed and my 2008 Armada flipped. My car was completely totaled. After crawling out the window, I walked away from the accident. The frame held up amazingly. After my insurance totaled my car, I bought another one. I now have a 2014 and I can't imagine driving anything else!

Ever since I bought the Armada, I started to have problems within one year. It was shaking and started to shake and the brake is not functioning and making noise. I was informed that it was the braking system. I was in the highway and the brake was malfunctioning and I have to slowly move to the side and turn off the engine and restart the car. At first, the brake will work and then it was malfunctioning again. The company knows that this is an ongoing problem with this model and they never fix these parts which is making it unsafe to use. I have it checked again and was informed of the same problem and it cost me over $900 for the parts and labor. My issue is that the company knows that this is an ongoing problem but they never replace these parts which is making it unsafe and high cost for repair. I will never recommend anyone to buy this car or any NISSAN cars at all.

My wife's Armada 2004 has this problem all over a year and a half. If you turn it off and on, the system just resets. It happens 3 or 4 times a week depending on how often she uses the truck. But though is happening more and it is dangerous, the service center said it is normal that this happened to these trucks, but now reading and looking on the internet, notice this is a HUGE problem that Nissan is ignoring.

I was in an accident on August 19th 2013. I had rear ended a Ford truck that was pulling a metal trailer. I was driving a Nissan Armada 2010. We were in stop and go traffic traveling about 8 to 10 mph. The accident was my fault. Putting my coffee into the cup holder, I looked down for a moment and rear ended the trailer. Upon impact the airbag deplored which was startling in itself. After that happened my face was numb and I was very shaken. I started smelling gases which I know were in the airbag. That after a minute I was smelling smoke as though something was on fire. I was frantic. Looking around it was the airbag. I immediately started to hit the airbag to stop the fire.

When you are driving out of nowhere, you have no ability to stop the truck. The braking system seems to lose the signal from the computer like a dead short causing the braking system to fail. Then light goes on. Then we have to pull over and restart the truck to reset the system. I can't believe such a big company as Nissan would let their customer have such a fear of driving. Why is it taking so long for Nissan to recognize its failure. I can tell you this. My next vehicle will not be a Nissan, sad to say. Wow, what depressing thought to spend my hard-earned money with another dealer.

I approach to a red light on 8/23/13 and my brakes were not working and I could not stop and my brake had cracking sound and armada started to shake.

On June 19, 2013, my kids and I were driving out of town to an appointment. I was on the highway going 70 mph with no problems and or warning signs. As I was slowing down to make an exit, the brake light came on and my truck started making a loud grinding noise. It sounded like it was coming from the front. As I applied the brakes my SUV still rolled forward, ultimately stopping.

Waiting to pick up my daycare kids from school, I put my car into drive and took off the emergency break I noticed my brake light was on. Confused I put it back into park and pushed the brake and so on. The light was still on. I proceeded to drive (I'm in a school zone) I was coming to a cross walk with kids crossing and I had to push on the brakes while a loud crunching and shaking occurred. Thankfully I was able to stop! I pulled over to the side scared to drive home. Collected myself and proceeded to drive to the bus stop to pick up my daughter. Every stop I had to make was scary. It was shaking and loud crunching noises. As I wait for the bus I decide to turn off the car. I turned the car back on to drive home and nothing was wrong!!!

I've owned a 2008 Armada since July of 2007 - it was one of the first ones that rolled off the truck. Initially, I loved it. We've driven the car a lot (over 150,000 miles), but we've always been on time with preventive maintenance. This car has had the brake issues that many have mentioned (indicator lights, grinding, and loss of braking power). It cost over $900 to repair. The rear overhead console fell off and broke into pieces. The front console is about to come off as well. The dealership wants over $3,000 to fix both.

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. Every time I take my car to get the brakes checked, they can't find anything wrong. I feel like they think I am a crazy person obsessed with my brakes. I am so pissed. Nissan ought to be ashamed of themselves and the NTSB for letting this go unresolved. They should be forced to do a recall. Enough people didn't die yet; until that happens the consumers have to deal with it on.

Liftgate actuator will not unlock the liftgate or rear window. I'm unable to use any luggage space! This makes traveling a real pain. I would recommend buying a Toyota, Chevrolet or GMC until Nissan corrects this recurring problem in the Nissan Armada.

I bought my Nissan Armada in 2004, loved it. Within the year, I had 2 recalls for the brake issues. Then again, later in a year, I had the same problem. Windows roll down when you use your fob remote, but don't roll back up when using the key in the driver side entry. Three years later, the passenger window started failing. It would go down but struggles or won't roll back up after a long time trying to click the button. After a year, the driver side window is acting up.

I have had my Armada for 7 years with 75k miles. I have been reading that my model and year seems to have airbag problems. I have read that they are all having the same problem as me. I have had all maintenance done and have taken care of my vehicle, but I have to pay that $100 diagnostic. That seems to be the complaint. It is crazy that this is happening to the '05 models.

I have purchased a 2008 Nissan Armada. The brake is making a squealing sound every time you put your foot on it for stopping and backing up. The top between the inside dropped and I took it to the dealership. They said it was out of warranty. This thing fell off on top of my son's head. And they said it's not under warranty. I have to pay $800 for parts and installation is $1200. Crazy. I hate this car. I need help to sue this company. Please contact me. Among other things there are the non-working windows. I will never recommend this to anyone.

2007 Nissan Armada SE 28,000 miles. In August 2010, the water pump went out, 2 months out of warranty. In October 2010, the water pump again. In January 2011, the radiator went out due to water pumps going out, which caused overheating. Now July 2, 2012, the transmission is out, which is one month out of warranty. I cannot believe all these problems with 28,000 miles on vehicle.

Over Memorial Day weekend 2012, I was in a fender bender accident, but the air bags blew on my 2010 Nissan Armada. It has been over a month and the dash is still on back order with no date for release in site. I have called Nissan Customer Affairs numerous times, but they are saying that there is nothing they can do to expedite my order (my insurance company told me that Nissan subcontracts the manufacturing of the dash to a third part and they may have gone out of business). This is becoming problematic because my insurance covers my rental car for only 30-days. The dealership that supplies the part says that it isn't their responsibility to provide a loaner car since it's the manufacturer’s delay and Nissan Corp is saying that it isn’t their responsibility to provide a loaner because that's the responsibility of the dealership as a courtesy. Unfortunately, I'm the one left holding the bag. I will never buy a Nissan again because of this customer service experience. When you buy a car, the manufacturer has a responsibility to service that car, which they have failed.

I have only 45,000 miles on my 2006. This vehicle has been kept well in the garage since purchased and has been well maintained. Unfortunately, the transmission gave up and the vehicle is currently crippled at Maroone Nissan Dealership in Pembroke Pines, Florida close to my residence. Mr. Kevin, the service manager, at Nissan Maroone who examined the vehicle claims said the vehicle's cooling transmission system malfunctioned spilling all the fluid, thus causing damage to the transmission.

I have a 2008 Nissan Armada now for a few years. About six months ago, my window latch on the back door stop working. Then four months ago, my back hatch door latch stopped working. I have been searching the internet and found out I'm not alone. So many people out here are having the same problem. I think it's time for Nissan to step up and recall on this problem. We don't deserve for so many of us to have the same problem.

Nissan Armada 2008 has a brake issue. I heard a grinding noise. I was told the brake booster needs replacing. This is a very serious issue and I want to know what Nissan is doing about it. I see this issue in this 2008 model posted on my websites and discussion boards. Someone please let me know what can be done.

We brought our 2004 Nissan Armada in to the dealership to see if they could figure out the source of a strange noise we were hearing. They couldn't find anything wrong. The noise got louder and we brought it in again but this time the mileage was above 80,000, which is when warranty expired. This time they mysteriously figured out that it was the exhaust manifold that is cracked and it will be at least $1400 to fix the driver side. And, if the passenger side is also cracked, it will be another $1400. I understand that sometimes there are problems with cars that mechanics have a hard time figuring out.

I have a 2008 Nissan Armada. This truck has been giving me problems for almost a year. Nissan has not told me of any recalls nor have they told me what is wrong with my truck. I took it into the dealership on 2/18/2012 to have a oil change and front and rear alignment. At the time, I was told I had two oil leaks and they will do the oil change, which cost me $300. I was due to travel the following week to Orlando, FL. Once I got the truck home, after two days, it started smoking bad and smelling like something was burning. I contacted the mechanic and he tried to tell me the truck is burning oil.

Well I bought a 2004 Nissan Armada back in 2007. Since I've had my armada, I've had to change the breaks 3 times in a matter of 5 years. My brake light would go on numerous amounts of times., to where I have had to pull over and restart the truck because it would turn off on me. I feel Nissan should take each and every vehicle that they have made, that has a consistent problem, and fix it for free. The brakes, seriously need to be recalled no doubt about it.

I own a 2007 Nissan Armada LE that maintains water in the head lights. Several Armada and Titan owners have vehicles with the same problem, including my son who owns a 2006 Titan and a neighbor who owns a 2010. All vehicles have water in the head lights. When it was reported to the dealer they denied any factory defects and quoted me $580.00 to replace the lens.

I press the brake and loud sounds of "hissing/air" come out. I tap the brake peddle and it lessens the "hissing/air" sound. My brake light has more and more frequently come on and when it does I notice rattling and shaking when I brake almost like it is trying to brake but can't catch. This catching/skipping only happens when the break light comes on otherwise it is fine. I turn my engine off and most of the time it resets itself only to happen a few miles down the road or a few road trips later.

Nissan North America should be shut down in the United States! What kind of relationship do we have with them that U.S. consumers who spend thousands and thousands of dollars on their vehicles are allowed to be treated with such injustice?! Of the 8 vehicles I have owned, the Nissan Armada by far is the worst possible car ever manufactured. With numerous recalls and an MPG of 11, the Better Business Bureau Auto Line must be getting kickbacks too, because their representatives even close complaints against Nissan without arbitration.

I own a 2005 Nissan Armada, and at the very beginning, I had brake problems which I thought were normal wear and tear. I continued to maintain the truck and continued to have brake problems to this day. At this time, I am scared to drive my truck. The brake lights turns on immediately and a grinding sound initiates and the brakes fail to engage. I slowly have to pull the truck over and turn off the engine to restart the "computer" as the mechanics at Nissan said and then wait for a couple of minutes. Then, the brake light turns off and the brakes are okay.

On 8-15-2011, I was operating my 2006 Nissan Armada and I was traveling at highway speed when I noticed that my brake light was on. I tested the brakes and I immediately heard a grinding and popping noise, as well as noises indicating that the ABS was activating off and on. The pedal was very soft and my braking effectiveness was severely diminished. Had I needed to make a sudden stop or been expecting my brakes to react normally, I would not have been able to stop at a safe distance. I pulled at the side of the road and visually inspected the brakes but found no issues. I checked the brake fluid level and saw that it was fine (just below the max mark and well above the min). By this time, my brake light, VDC off, and slip light were all illuminated. I shut the vehicle off then restarted it. The three lights were still lit, but the brakes were reacting normally. I then took it to Gabe Rowe Nissan in Rocky Mount, NC and left it there. It was after 5 p.m., so I could not speak with anyone in the service department at that time. Please note that on the date of the brake failure, I was driving at 65 mph on HWY 64 by pass (full access control highway) on a straight and level surface, on a clear and sunny day.

I own a 2004 Nissan Armada and I am the only owner. This SUV is a death trap. I will not let my kids or any other family member drive it.

I bought a brand new 2006 Armada, still on warranty and is under 50,000 miles. I am having a problem with the anti-brake system and the dealer doesn't want to cover.

I own a 2005 Nissan Armada, and we keep having brake problems. We had to replace all 4 rotors and brakes all at once because the rotors went bad and chewed through the brake pads we did not find any warning on this it just all of a sudden started grinding. ABS brake light comes on while driving and brakes will fail. You have to pull over and turn the car off to reset the sensor. The car also has premature break pad ware. All these problems we have had are common problems with all 2005 Armadas but Nissan won't do anything about it. Instead I get to keep spending thousands of dollars to fix everything. Not Right!!

My boyfriend and I have a 2005 Armada Nissan and the brakes keep going out on us. We have to slow down and turn the Armada off; and turn the whole car back on in order for it to go out. We have contacted Nissan about 3 years when this problem first was brought to light, and we were told that not enough customers have brought this issue to light, for them to investigate the issue.

I purchased my Armada new and maintained manufacturer's recommended recurring maintenance ($500 to $800 per service) only to have to replace the transmission, transmission cooling hoses and belts 4 years (90,0000 miles) later. And now, my oil pressure gauge is reading at a quarter low at idle and the local dealership is trying to tell me this is normal even though it was not doing this before. Further research confirmed my concerns. The oil pump is more than likely bad. After being serviced by 3 different dealerships, me spending over $5,000.00 in repairs, I still have repair issues with my vehicle.

I have a 2004 Nissan Armada, the first year Nissan made this model. I have lost all heat, can only open the rear door part at the time, but have serious safety problems. There is a small bracket on the Armada and Titan that holds the parking brake above the axle. This small bracket, even in dry climate Colorado is corroding and snapping. Once this happens, the cable wraps around the axle and dislodges the axle and differential. At 55 miles an hour, the vehicle came to an immediate stop.

2005 Nissan Armada-This is the 3rd time that the air bag problem light has come on since we have owned this vehicle and they are saying we have to pay for a diagnostics tests before they will fix it again! I realize the vehicle is not under warranty anymore but it looks to me like it never was fixed before. I don't care if the air bag is the front, passenger or backseat. Obviously, there is a problem with the whole system. I also had a brake recall when I first bought the car due to faulty brakes and now the brakes every once in a while act like they are going out but I have had it checked and they can't find anything. More than $100.00 for diagnostic test to determine what is causing the light to come on. I don't really care. They should fix it.

I own a 2008 Nissan Armada SE that I bought in July 08'. I received a recall letter about 2 weeks ago in the mail stating that some Armadas have a problem with the brake pedal pin. A few days later, I took it to the dealer I bought the car from. He wrote up the paper work called a tech from the back to see if my brake pedal was one of the affected cars and the tech said, "Nope, all is good." He wrote me up an invoice and I left. That was on 3/24/10. Yesterday, 4/4/10, I was driving with my 4 year old in the back and I was coming home from Easter dinner and I went to apply my brakes and had absolutely no brake pressure in my brake pedal. It was making a loud crunching noise. They simply were not working.

I purchased a 2006 Nissan Armada SUV in 2008. In August of 2009, the vehicle caught fire stemming from the air-conditioning unit which I later found out has a manufactures recall. It was a 90 degree day and I had the air-conditioned on while I was talking on the cell phone. I begin to smell something burning and the air-conditioner stopped blowing cold air. So I parked the truck in my mother’s garage, cut the engine off and got out of the truck to look around.

2004 Nissan Armada. The rear lift gate will not open. Pull lever for complete lift gate release and separate lever for glass release. Neither will open the lift gate. Interior release will not work either.

There is a defect in the braking system of the Nissan Armada, which is similar to Toyota. I complained well over a year about this safety issue but Nissan kept denying there was a problem. Finally, after my warranty expired, Cherry Hill Nissan admitted there is a serious flaw in the braking system and asked me to pay $1,900.00 dollars to fix it.

Well, I have a Nissan Armada 2004 and all of my family are usual Nissan drivers. We all have had problems with the power windows. My friend has a 2006 Xterra and she has had the same problem. Has there been any recall because I have been a loyal Nissan driver and buyer since 1992 with my first Nissan being the Naxima, then Altima and now, the Armada? We are a family of five with three children under the age of five with many financial difficulties. Right now, I have to buy the motor for two windows. One of them will not go up and my children have to get wet and be cold in the mornings because we just cannot afford to fix it now. Is there anything we can do?

I own a 2005 Nissan Armada. The vehicle has a built-in defect that should be recalled. The rear hatch has a poorly designed latching system, which makes it impossible to open the rear hatch when the latch cable breaks. I have gone to various Nissan Armada forums, and have seen hundreds of complaints about this problem (and those are just the ones who found their way to the forums. There must be thousands more out there). I am going to have to pay a lot of money to get it fixed so I can sell it. Meanwhile, I can't get into the rear of the vehicle. If someone was in the rear seat and needed to get out of the vehicle in an emergency, that would be impossible.

On 10/29/06, I purchased a Nissan Armada 2004 with 36,322 miles and a warranty of 100,000 miles. About 3 months ago, I had to take the car to the dealer because it has not power and feels like something was wrong with the fuel. They diagnosed that it was the catalytic converter, so they replaced it. Yesterday (10/2/09), the service engine light turned on. So, I went to the dealer and dropped off the car. After 7 hours, they called to inform that the engine was bad and it is not covered under the warranty because the cause of it was the damaged catalytic converter.
