“Once every 2 to 3 weeks, I hit the brakes in my 2004 Nissan pathfinder Armada and it makes a horrible grinding noise and nothing happens, the vehicle doesn't stop. The emergency brake light comes on. I was told by a friend that repairs nissans for the employees at the Nissan canton plant that this was a common occurrence for that model vehicle and it was a sensor that was bad. He said they have replaced numerous sensors on employees vehicles. I'm wondering why there was never a recall. …”

“This complaint pertains to a safety issue with my 2004 Nissan Armada SUV vehicle. A search of the internet reveals that the problem I am having is common amongst owners of Nissan Armada vehicles, and warrants Nissan taking action to rectify this problem. The problem is safety related, and warrants an investigation by Nissan, and recall to ensure safety of vehicle occupants. The vehicle is a full sized SUV, with seating for 7-8 occupants. The problem I am referring to today relates to the rear hatch door. …”

“Drivers side door wouldn't close properly, sometimes wouldn't close at all, sometimes would close but wouldn't stay shut. Called Nissan regional center about the problem but they wouldn't do cover it because it was past warranty. The vehicle was purchased in june of 05. Took the vehicle into the dealership and they said it was a broken latch and remote lock for which I paid to have repaired. This failure occurred when the temperature fell below freezing.”
