“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. …”

“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. …”
