| Description of the problem | I have had numerous issues starting in 13' with the ecm being replaced after 05' armada stalled on highway traveling 70 miles/hour in heavy traffic. Recently in early 15' i ran out of gas when fuel gauge displayed a quarter tank of gas at a red light. Also in early 15' my a/c will only work when on high. Both of these issues are known & are listed as recalls that i will be making a service appointment with my local nissan dealer to research, correct & fix. There are numerous reports of similar & exact known issues online. Most recently in november 15' i was picking my children up from school in the rain. I was traveling home when i had to apply my breaks, but they did not perform as they should. The breaks made a spring sound, the brake peddle had little to no resistance when i applied my foot to stop & the break light came on. I had to veer off the road & ran into a fence post very lightly with minimal damage to my front chrome bumper. I turned car off & immediately checked on my two children in the back seat. We were all ok, thank god. I started armada to find that the break light was no longer on. I hesitated to drive due to what had just happened. I was only 3 miles from home so i slowly attempted to continue home. The armada drove perfect & the breaks functioned as they should with no issues. I googled incident to find numerous complaints & reports with similar to identical complaints/know issue reported & filed. I was blessed that my family was ok & i was able to avoid a serious potentially life threatening accident with loss of breaks one time for no reason. This was the 1st time this has happened and has not happened since. I feel this should be an immediate recall due to the severity of outcome it could cause with temporary break failure. No need for lifes to be lost or lawsuits to make it right and correct/fix issue at no cost. |
