Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“At any given time, the brake light will appear on the instrument panel. During this time extra effort is required to apply the brakes when trying to stop. When the brakes are applied, there is a horrible grinding sound coming from the front of the vehicle. Turning the engine off and back on can sometimes fix it but on this particular day it did it 5 times in a row. This problem has been known to happen to drivers of 2005 Nissan armadas for a few years and Nissan has yet to perform/issue any corrective actions. …”
