Driving fine then after stopping at a stop sign, car would not accelerate, like it is in a higher gear. After reaching 10mph it drives perfectly fine. If after stopping you cut the engine and restart, it is fine. Reverse works fine. Code p1757 comes up on test. A bad valve body. I've seen this all over the internet mostly on nissan '05 models, maybe some '06. Very frustrating, nissan says I need a whole new transmission. I'm thinking a recall should be looked into. It doesn't seem to happen on other year models as much.
2005 Nissan Armada transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Front differential failure in a 2005 nissan armada with 71,000 miles. Needs to have the diff replaced and not covered under warranty. Many other cases of the exact same problem just by viewing a simple online search. Seems to be a very dangerous design flaw.
4x4 front differential pinion seal blew out while driving through a deadly snow blizzard to get home. This is the 2nd pinion seal on the front differential that's been replaced. The first was at about 40k miles and the second at around 68k miles. Front differential failures are becoming common in nissan titans and armadas, especially when used to drive home through snow storms when they're needed the most. Here's more details: http://www.clubarmada.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16220 http://www.titantalk.com/forums/titan-problems-dealer-service/102631-need-new-front-differential.html.
On march 7, 2008, I drove from cleveland, oh to columbus, oh. The roads were slightly snow covered but slippery and I had either the automatic or full-time 4wd engaged during the 120 mile trip. Upon arriving at my destination, I parked the vehicle on a slight uphill grade. As I exited the vehicle and began to unload it, the vehicle began to roll backwards. I was able to get back in and stop it, and double checked to make sure the shift lever was fully in the parked position. It was. I restarted the vehicle and drove it back up the grade, placed the shift lever firmly in park, turned off the engine and waited. Sure enough, the vehicle began rolling backwards. I made a special attempt to verify that the vehicle wheels were indeed turning rather than the vehicle slipping with the wheels locked (in park). I repeated this 3 more times and experienced the same occurrence; the vehicle was indeed rolling and not slipping.
4wd light would engage intermittently. Stayed on for the duration that the vehicle was on. This has happened 3 times at approx mileage: 1530 miles, 3650 miles & yesterday 10/31/06 at 9:15 p.m. Pst 6880 miles. Brakes & rotors failed at 2200 miles. Replaced by local dealership. Brakes severely screeched at 5500 miles. Local dealership service said "we forgot to tightened up a few bolts on your brakes". At 6750 miles, severe brakes problems. Brakes lights came on, brakes locked up w/ car severely lurching forward when applying pressure light pressure. Drove to the dealership as is without turning off the car. Noticed that problem was serious & gave us a loaner vehicle for 9 days. Local dealership said they have never seen this failure code before on any nissan vehicle for a brake issue. "delta strokeforce" local dealership was unable to repair the problem; drove it to a neighboring dealership 180 miles r/t. The neighboring dealership re-programmed the internal computer & assured me the problem was fixed. Tonight 11/01/2006, brake light came on & brakes failed again with my wife & kids in the vehicle. Could not make a stop off a freeway exit & just about put her foot through the floorboard trying to do so. Brakes engaged suddenly skidding the tires through the intersection. Mileage at time of incident 6927. It is now at 6930; my wife & I will be driving it to the local dealership in the morning.
October 28, 2005 the federal safety agency dear sir / madam, I currently own a 2005 nissan armada. We are having a continuing problem with the vehicle rolling back when the brake pedal is released while on an incline with the transmission in drive. About 25% of the time when you take your foot off the brake pedal to accelerate the vehicle immediately begins rolling back as if it were in neutral. There is no indication the vehicle would stop rolling without immediately braking or accelerating quickly. When the accelerator is depressed to counteract the roll it seems to takes a second or two before the vehicle starts moving forward. Because this rollback happens unexpectedly I feel it is only a matter of time before we accidentally hit the vehicle behind us, or worse a person walking behind the vehicle. I have had it to the dealer twice to have the problem addressed. Both times it was in for service they said this was considered normal operation. On the second visit they said the nissan representative was in and he confirmed this was normal operation. Eric, the service rep at the dealership would not give me the representative's name. The dealer is: wilde nissan 1451 e moreland blvd waukesha, wi 53186 262‑542‑5500 888‑660‑7066 I have never had an automatic transmission display this type of behavior previously and feel this is a serious safety hazard, especially for inexperienced drivers such as my 17 year old son. I don''t feel the dealership or nissan is taking us or this problem seriously.
