2007 Nissan Armada owner complaints

I was driving around 60 MPH with my kids in the vehicle and push the brakes to stop at a stop sign and the brakes just went out. The brake light came on and stayed on. Grace of god there was nothing in front of me!!! The brakes was making a loud noise and felt like the wheels was about to come off. Finally I got the car to stop and pulled over to check and did not see anything out of the ordinary. I turn the car off and was scared to move it. I was getting ready to call a tow truck just before I started the car back up and the brake light was off and the truck seemed like nothing happened. This happens on several occasions with no warnings what so ever!!! I took it to Nissan and they are saying it needs a brake booster which will cost around $1600. I contacted Nissan about this because loo

Randomly when applying brakes during normal travel ranging and speeds from 25 to 70 a loud grinding noise is heard the brake light comes on in the vehicle is extremely hard to stop. If the vehicle is shut off the system will reset and it will be as if nothing happened. Took the vehicle to a local shop had the vehicle inspected with no discrepancies. It just happened again on 06 november. Here is a link of other people experiencing the same thing. Http://m.carcomplaints.com/Nissan/armada/2007/brakes/service_brakes.shtml

Driving at 50 miles per hour and suddenly the ABS brakes turns red, I try to push the brake pedal and it makes a loud grinding noise and the brakes just keeps on having like an up and down pressure and the vehicle would not stop. I asked some armada owners and they have a same problem . Very unsafe for a family man driving kids with faulty brake system. This happens 3 x already I have to pull over and shut down engine. NHTSA help us ! *tr

Since approximately 34,000 miles I have experienced intermittent problems with the ABS system on my 2004 Nissan armada. Periodically while driving, the brake light will illuminate when brakes are applied and the ABS system activates. The brakes begin to groan, are spongy, have reduced braking power, and make a sound like a large spring being released. The vehicle continues these symptoms until the ignition is turned off. The speed at which the event occurs varies from 5 to 50mph. This has happened an average of once every 2 to 3 weeks since may 2007. If the vehicle is turned off and then on again the system resets and performs normally. Each time I took the car to the dealership no problem codes could be found and there were no symptoms. I was finally able to take the vehicle to the dealer

While driving the car will slow down and I will notice the brake light is on. Then I will hear like a grinding sound. As if im driving with emergency brakes on. The parking brakes engage while im driving. We took car to a Nissan dealer for servicing but they could not detect any problem. There is certainly a problem with braking system. I am afraid this will cause an accident. It has happened about 7 times in the last 2 weeks. We just got new brakes on oct. 5 2019. This problem a few years ago and it will happen a few times a year but lately its happening more often. It staryed back on or about oct.1, 2019.

I have a 2007 Nissan armada this is about the 5th time that the brake light has come on and when you try to stop the car it won't. The car will start making grind noises and don't won't to stop. When you get it stop you have to turn to car off for everything to reset and it works fine. This is a safety hazard and is going to get someone hurt if not killed. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan armada. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed as a loud noise emitted with the illumination of the brake warning indicator. After the engine was turned off and restarted, the vehicle resumed normally. The failure became progressively worse over time. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

I have had this recurring experience off and on more than 10 times for at least the past 4 years. There is no known pattern of occurrence. It happens sometimes while I am driving and all of a sudden I hear popping or crunching noises below the vehicle and then the brake indicator light on the dash board will turn on. Then I feel I am loosing the ability to stop the vehicle as I carefully move over to the shoulder of the road with brake indicator light and popping noise still on. Due to this problem, my wife have stopped using this vehicle. Once safely off the road, this problem is often resolved by turning off and on the ignition and all will be well until the next occurrence. However, after yesterday's (09/27/2014) occurrence which was very scary, I called our nearest Nissan dealer an

While driving during rush hour, brake light came on and pressing on brakes heard creaking and grinding noise, brakes went to floor and barely stopped before hitting car in front of me. After stopping in parking lot and turning car off, apparently resetting sensor, brakes worked ok. Auto tech checked it out and gave me code c1179. *tr

While driving, my emergency brake light comes on and my brakes make a crunching noise and do not give full braking power when I am stopping. It happened while I've been driving on city streets at 20 mps or on the highway at 70 MPH.the brake problem will continue until I turn off the car. The problem began several years ago but it would occur maybe twice a year. Over the past year, the instances have grown dramatically. It's happened 3 times in the past 2 days. Like others out there, the dealer tells me that they don't see anything wrong with it (the brake light hasn't been on), but I strongly disagree. This problem is jeopardizing mine and my family's lives and it needs to be corrected asap! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan armada. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the contact depressed the brake pedal and noticed a vibration and grinding noise in the brake pedal. The vehicle was hesitant to respond. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the technician advised that the brake booster and the delta sensor would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

The emergency brake light randomly comes on while driving and it causes the vehicle not to adequately stop properly. Once vehicle is powered fully off and restarted the vehicle functions normal. Nissan stated they can't find the issue with vehicle and don't know why and what causes this to happen. This is a very serious danger. *tr

While pulling out of a parking lot my brake light came on while pressing the brakes, the pedal went to the floor and there were no brakes. There was a grinding sound and a fluttering feeling in the brakes. I used my parking brake to come to a stop. This is the second time this happened, first was about 6 months ago on highway exit ramp (luckily I was going up hill at the time). Once you turn off the vehicle and restart the problem disappears. I have found numerous accounts of this same situation happening to armada owners who have found it to be the brake booster. This is a very serious issue with the ABS braking system and needs to be addressed by Nissan. *tr

Driving on a residential street at approximately 35 MPH. The brake light came on and when the brakes were applied, the pedal went almost to the floor, the ABS engaged and the braking power was reduced by 70% or greater. The vehicle was parked and shut off for an extended period of time and the system appeared to reset itself. Identical issue have occurred in july and august. Brake pads, rotors and fluid levels were checked and all were okay. I contacted a local Nissan dealership who advised that there were no recalls on that model year, but other years have been recalled for similar incidents. *jb

2007 Nissan armada. Consumer states vehicle broke down due to a factory defect faulty fuel gauge *tgw the consumer stated ever since the vehicle broke down, it intermittently emits a tremendous amount of black smoke after starting it. When the consumer returned to pick up the vehicle for a third time, he was informed the engine was damaged to lack of oil changes. The consumer stated he has proof the oil was changed on a regular basis. Also, the tire pressure monitoring light illuminated, but no leaks were found and the battery had to be replaced. *jb

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan armada. While the vehicle was stationary, the exhaust manifold fractured without warning. Exhaust fumes entered into the cabin of the vehicle.

Airbag light randomly began flashing. Code pulled as b1035 crash zone sensor. This vehicle has never been in any type of accident. Upon researching vehicle and code it shows the same year and makes of vehicles having exact symptoms as well as code of b1035. Even on the NHTSA website regarding this recall- it does show a picture on the pdf file of a Nissan armada image showing instructions on how to install the recalled sensor. This needs to be reviewed immediately and make corrections with adding the armada being part of the recall. It has same exact sensor part and I feel that this should not be held on the vehicle owners part as clearly it is a defective part. There will be additional calls I will make if needed to the attorney general's office if this does not get resolved in a promp
