The ABS hydraulic brake senors have now been replaced twice on my armada. The brakes will drop to the floor and make all kind of noises won't stop. There had been a recall for all other vins than mine. Dealership said there was nothing they could do other than start changing other parts on my dime. Nissan of america has told me the same thing. We have nearly been in several wrecks. I do not want my wife to end up in one because of this truck. Just bought the second set of these yesterday and nearly hit someone again today. Since I keep a good distance between other traffic and myself is the only reason we haven't been a wreck yet.

The driver side airbag is not working due to a faulty harness assembly. The fuel gauge does not measure fuel accurately. The ABS brake light comes on and the brakes stop working while you are driving. Nissan refuses to fix the issues without us paying over 3 grand even though these items were recalled on other nissans but there is no recall on this particular nissan. This nissan needs to be added to the recalls. We bought the car 5 months ago from go automotive and they also refused to fix the issues.

Suv ran out of gas at highway speed in center lane during heavy traffic on wife and kids, gauge read 1/4 of tank. Stepped on brake didn't work had a load noise, vdc light, brake light on dash. Understand now that ABS system failed and fuel sending unit failed. Nissan has told me that they have a recall on the fuel sending unit on the same year make and model but not mine? They have tried really hard to kill my family with this faulty expensive equipment.

The brake, slip and vdc off light come on at once. Lose brake pedal pressure. Pedal goes almost to floor with noise like the ABS is on, grinding sound shuddering happens. Turn off and turn on vehicle, issue goes away for anywhere from a day to a few week then happens again. It has happened on mostly dry smooth pavement. It could happen few times a day or few times a week and sometimes not for weeks. I am very afraid to drive because luckily it had happened every time I was 20 MPH or below.

I was driving in light traffic, pushed on the brake pedal, the brake light (not ABS) illuminated on the instrument panel, I heard a grinding sound and almost pushed the pedal to the floor. I pulled over, turned the truck off, and restarted it. The brake light remained illuminated, but I was able to brake. After turning it off and letting it sit for about 30 minutes, I turned it on again. The brake light was no longer on and the brakes engaged. I took it to a brake shop on 3/27/15 and was told that my pads are fine. They also checked the fluid and the level was ok. I contacted a local nissan dealer and was told that there aren't any recalls. They have not received any reports from consumers about this type of issue occurring, but could not provide an explanation as to why this happened and could be reset by turning the vehicle off. This also happened previously, but I don't recall exactly when.

On three different occasions starting july 2011 and ending march 2015, the brakes failed after vdc/ABS/slip warning lights were illuminated on a 2005 nissan armada. On one of the occasions, while attempting to stop, the brake pedal was depressed to the floor with little resistance. The vehicle failed to stop causing it to go through a busy intersection and just missed being struck by a tractor trailer. Spent over $2000.00 in repairs and the problems persist. I no longer feel save in driving the vehicle and finally sold it at a lost.

Brake judder from front brakes.[xxx]. I have had numerous episodes like this "bad ABS, I think, on armada". Everything goes well and am traveling at low speed or pulling out of the parking and step on the brakes and hear a terrible grinding sound coming from the brakes in addition to a spring like sound and a significant reduction in braking power. This continues until I pull off the road and shut off the engine and then start it back up and the brakes work fine. This has happen 8-10 times since may 2014. It did happen couple of time when I was traveling with 20-30 MPH and I come to stop, causing groaning, banging noises and feel spongy.this started happening in the same week or so after I had brake work done by dealer. I had taken my car to dealer to replace rotor and pads. This didn't happen before that time. I took the car back to dealer in july and complained about this issue. They reset the module and suggested to replace the booster if it happens again. I ran the scanner to see error code c1179, delta stroke sensor.
