2004 Nissan Pathfinder Brakes Problems

“Takata recall: I brought the vehicle new, and around the 4th year, I started to notice that the brake light would come on. The first few repairs the brakes pads changed, line, cylinder, and full brake replacement:, but the issue persisted over the years without any mechanic that could provide me with an explanation of this problem. My main reason for writing this is because of the inherent danger of this brake issue. This problem has occurred while I was driving at highway speeds. …”

“Takata recall so yesterday while driving on the highway us 31 and it was raining I lost all functions of my brakes with my 3 year old daughter in the vehicle. This was the scariest experience ever I thought we were going to die. After coming to a complete stop and makeing a few phone calls I was advised to turn the vehicle off and turn it back on the brake light went off and brake functions started working properly. Really considering getting rid of my truck after this incident. We could have died.”

“2004 Nissan armada developed problems with the brake equipment.***no answer required*** there was a shimmy when braking, the passenger seat would not adjust and the rear brakes were noisy. The front rotors and pads were replaced, the rotors were resurfaced, turned, re-machined and machined again.”

“Consumer stated that the brakes were soft. The front end shimmied when braking. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the rotors were warped and needed front pads. Also, the consumer was told that a sub standard brake system was installed by the manufacturer. The dealer offered to turn the rotors and replace the pads with an upgrade. The consumer stated the brake system on the 2004 models were too small.”

“While braking for a red light the consumer depressed the brake and accelerator pedal simultaneously. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. This may have occurred because the gas and brake pedal are too close.”
