In 20017 I was rear ended on i95 by another driver at no fault on my part. I requested the vehicle be fixed but a check of only $384.80 was mailed to me 2 years later. Now the vehicles steering wables, along with the brakes and wheels.

We have a 2004 nissan pathfinder armada with under 74,000 miles on the odometer. The vehicle looks like it is in very good shape until it is put on a lift. The major control arms of the vehicle are severely rusted while other steel in close proximity is not. We found a recall for 1996-2004 nissan pathfinders for this same issue: 'campaign id #: r1107 'the federal safety agency #:11v‑244 'applied vehicles:1996-2004 pathfinder (r50) nissan north american told us that this recall does not apply to our vehicle. We believe that the components used on our vehicle were probably produced by the same manufacturer as the recalled components and therefore have the same issues. The nissan representative that we spoke with would neither confirm nor deny this. ( mariana 615‑725‑5879) she could only confirm that the recall did not apply to our nissan.

The rear door on my 2004 nissan armada has failed and is keeping me locked out of the vehicle. The problem has been traced to be a faulty door lock actuator, which fails to travel far enough in order to allow the door lock mechanism to open the door. The actuator part information is as follows: 905507s000 0892068-a b/d actr 03 09 26. A google search of this problem on the internet will show anyone that this problem is rampant on all nissan armada vehicles, all years, and therefore must be recalled as a safety defect. With this condition, if there was ever a vehicle accident and/or fire, the occupants located inside the vehicle at the back seats would not be allowed to get out of the vehicle with the assistance of others located outside of the vehicle. Under this situation, the passenger/occupants are permanently locked inside of the vehicle. Any accident leading to a vehicle fire, and the occupant would burn to death. To see how common this situation is, do a google search using part number "905507s000" in the search field.

Today I took 2004 armada through a touch less car wash as I have done many times before. The upper rear high mount brake light housing, actually a body part of the vehicle, came off during the exiting of the car wash. This happened when the blower blew the water off the armada and blew this housing down onto the rear window. Upon inspection the plastic rivets that hold the housing in place had sheered off, and the wind blew the unit down onto the window. The unit came down with enough force to break the back window and did infect scratch it. The only thing preventing the unit from coming completely off and becoming a projectile object was the wiring. It appears that the auto mobile maker is aware of this, but does not warn consumers, and will not repair this design flaw with substantial anchors. In a roll over this could come off completely and become a projectile object. Additionally, until I am able to get this fixed I am riding around without benefit of a rear brake light as required by federal law. I have been told by others, armada newsgroup, that this is a common problem with these units, and that nissan refuses to accept the liability. We have paid a lot for these vehicles, and do expect a reasonable amount of safety.
