TODAY, MY FAMILY & I ALMOST BOUGHT THE FARM WHEN THE BRAKES WENT OUT ON A FREEWAY OFF RAMP ON OUR WAY BACK FROM PHOENIX. WE EXITED THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP AT THE LIGHT. THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD SCRAPING NOISE, WERE NON-FUNCTIONAL AND WE WERE APPROACHING CROSS TRAFFIC AT 60 - 70 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY DROPPED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, STARTED TO APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE AND HEADED FOR THE DIRT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FIGURING I WOULD RATHER HIT A TREE OR FENCE THAN T-BONE A VEHICLE IN THE CROSS TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY RUBBING THE PASSENGER TIRES ON THE CURB TO CREATE FRICTION TO STOP. THE VEHICLE MILEAGE TODAY IS 61,707. THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AS WE HAD TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF & APPARENTLY WHEN RESTARTED, IT REBOOTED A SENSOR THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. (INFO FROM NISSAN DEALER). THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE WILL END UP DEAD DUE TO THIS PROBLEM IF NISSAN DOES NOT FIX IT. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED A TOTAL OF FIVE TIMES WITHIN A YEARS TIME. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM WAS A MALFUNCTIONING SENSOR IN THE MASTER CYLINDER OR THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAILED AND THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING. UPDATED IVOQ 07/15/10.*JB *TR THE CONSUMER STATED THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND HAS BECOME WORSE. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS WIFE RECEIVED A TRAFFIC CITATION FOR GOING THROUGH A STOP SIGN BECAUSE THE BRAKES FAILED AS SHE ATTEMPTED TO STOP. OFTEN, WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED, THE PEDAL WOULD GO STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND A LOUD METALLIC SCRAPING SOUND COULD BE HEARD AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES. THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, PER A TECHNICIAN AT A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WAS TO COAST TO A STOP AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, WAIT 15 SECONDS, THEN START IT AGAIN. THE TECHNICIAN STATED IT RESETS A SENSOR IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE BRAKES WILL WORK FINE FOR A SHORT TIME. UPDATED IVOQ 09/15/11

WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIRENCING PROBLEMS WITH CABIN NOISE. THERE IS WIND GETTING IN THE VEHICLE AND YOU CAN DEFINITELTY HEAR IT. ANOTHER PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD IS THE RIGHT REAR POWER WINDOW SCRUBBING WHEN YOU LET IT UP OR DOWN. I HAVE SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR IT AND THE CABIN NOISE TO BE SERVICED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND ASKED ABOUT RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE MINE SHAKES AS YOU ARE STOPPING, POSSIBLY A BRAKE OR ROTOR PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS, BUT THEY DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS VEHICLE.

MY 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA IS IN SERIOUS NEED OF A LARGER BRAKING SYSTEM. AFTER ONLY 5500 MILES OF MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING MY NISSAN DEVELOPED A FRONT BRAKE SHUDDER INDICATING THE ROTORS WERE WARPED. I TOOK IT TO THE BROWN & BROWN DEALER IN MESA, AZ WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY SEEMED TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND ASSURED ME IT WOULD BE FIXED. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK SUCHAS, BUBBLES IN THE WINDSHIELD A LEAKY SUNROOF THAT SHUDDERS WHEN CLOSING, THE DIMMER SWITCH FOR THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WASN'T EVEN CONNECTED. I FOUND A LOOSE BOLT ON THE FLOORBOARD. THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION OF WHERE IT BELONGS. I GUESS I'LL FIND OUT LATER. THE AUTO ROLL-UP FEATURE FOR THE FRONT WINDOWS IS FAULTY. THE SERVICE GUY SAYS NISSAN IS RESEARCHING IT. ITS BEEN TWO MONTHS. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION? ARE THEY TOO BUSY DESIGNING NEXT YEAR'S LEMONS? I'VE OWNED 5 OTHER NISSAN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. IS IT CANTON, MISSISSIPPI? *NM

WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2004 NISSAN ARMADA FROM BROWN&BROWN NISSAN IN TEMPE ARIZONA ON MAY 12, 2004. THE CAR HAS PROBLEM WITH ALIGNMENT AND BRAKES. THE STEERING ALWAYS LEAN TO THE RIGHT EVEN RUN ON THE FLOATED ROAD, THE WHOLE CAR SHAKEN WHEN RUNNING ON THE ROUGH ROAD AND BREAKING, WINDOW MAKING NOISE WHEN CAR SHAKEN. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND NOTIFY THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THAT WE HAD EXPERIENCED ON MAY 13, 2004. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD US IT IS NORMAL NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT NISSAN MADE ALL VEHICLES LIKE THAT. WE DON'T THINK THIS IS RIGHT BECAUSE ALL VEHICLES HAVE TO RUN STRAIGHT NOT LEANING TO NEITHER RIGHT OR LEFT SIDE OF THE FLOATED ROAD AND SHOULD MOVING SMOOTHLY NOT SHAKING WHEN RUN ON THE ROUGH ROAD. THIS IS CONCERNED ME ABOUT MY FAMILY SAFETY. BROWN&BROWN NISSAN SALE MANAGERS WANTED US TO BRING THE CAR TO SERVICE TO GET FIX. SINCE THEIR SERVICE TECH SAID THE PROBLEMS ARE NORMAL AND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN THOSE SYMPTOMS ABOVE OCCURRED. WE DON'T THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO BRING IT TO THE SERVICE AND LET THEM FIX IT. SO WE HAD REQUEST TO SWITCH FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THE DEALER GENERAL SALE MANAGERS DISPUTED AND IGNORED MY REQUEST AND DIDN'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOR CUSTOMER'S SAFETY. BROWN&BROWN'S HEAD MANAGER DON'T TALK TO US SINCE WE DON'T WANT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE EVEN THOUGH WE HAD CALL IN A LOT OF TIMES AND REQUEST TO TALK TO HIM OR LEFT HIM A MESSAGE ON HIS ANSWER MACHINE. NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH THE LEMON VEHICLE AND DON'T KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO NEXT TO PROTECT OUR CUSTOMER RIGHTS AND OUR FAMILY SAFETY. PLEASE HELP US TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND ALSO SAVE OTHER PEOPLE FROM BAD CAR DEALERSHIPS WHICH SELLING BAD CAR, TREAT CUSTOMER WITH NO RESPECT, DON'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER'S SATISFACTION AND SPECIALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER'S SAFETY LIKE BROWN&BROWN NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN TEMPE, ARIZONA. *AK

THE 2004 NISSAN ARMADA HAS AUTOMATIC POWER WINDOWS FOR BOTH FRONT PASSENGERS THAT WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE (GO UP) WHEN THE BUTTON IS PUSHED ONE TIME (NOT HELD). I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE WINDOW WITH MY HAND. THIS COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH IF A SMALL CHILD WAS POSITIONED PART WAY OUT OF THE WINDOW OPENING.*AK
