EVERYDAY DRIVING ON GOOD ROADS AND BAD ROADS AND WHILE HITTING BUMPS OR ANY IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD STEERING WHEEL MOVES SIDE TO SIDE. NOT THE WHOLE COLUMN JUST THE STEERING WHEEL. ONE TIME, WHILE HOLDING STEERING WHEEL NEAR BOTTOM WHEEL JILTED TO RIGHT AND CAUGHT MY HAND IN OPENING OF WHEEL TO WHERE I COULD NOT GAIN CONTROL RIGHT AWAY. THIS STEERING WHEEL SHAKE HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY, WHERE VEHICLE DOES MOVE TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT DEPENDING ON WHICH WHEEL HITS THE BUMP OR HOLE IN THE ROAD. DEALER SAID THIS IS NORMAL IN THE STEERING. THE STEERING IS JUST VERY LOOSE AND SLOPPY, EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED, WHERE IT IS SUPPOSE TO GET TIGHTER. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER ON 2/19/05 FOR THE PROBLEM, AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING, ONLY THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND REPLACED THOSE PARTS. THEY SAID THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BUT MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE STEERING , AND A REPAIR OF BRAKING SYSTEM WILL NOT SOLVE THE STEERING PROBLEM, THAT WILL JUST SOLVE THE SHAKING PROBLEM WHEN I STEPPING ON THE BRAKE,S NOT WHILE I'M DRIVING ALONG ROADS. THERE IS 2,600 MILES ON THE VEHICLE ,AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE OR COMFORTABLE. IT ALWAYS FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE HAS A SHOCK OR STABILIZER PROBLEM. I HOPE THIS CAN BE LOOKED INTO SERIOUSLY BEFORE SOME ONE LOOSES CONTROL AND HAS A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH SERIOUS INJURY BEFORE THIS PROBLEM GETS RESOLVED. I AM WRITING THIS SO ALL 2005 ARMADA OWNERS WILL KNOW THERE ARE NOT ALONE OR NUTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT DOES EXIST REGARDLESS WHAT THE DEALERS SAY. THANK YOU.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
I OWN A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2005 FROM THE DEALER. FOR APRX. 3 YEARS NOW EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS THE ABS BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GET VERY HARD, IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. WE FOUND IT THAT WE CAN RESET IT BACK TO NORMAL BY STOPPING, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, WAITING A MINUTE AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET CHECKED, THEY TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE OR BRAKES. SINCE THEY COULDN'T GET THE PROBLEM TO OCCUR IN FRONT OF THEM, THEY SAID THAT THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS ABOUT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE, THEY TOLD BE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT TURNING IT OFF WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS, I EXPLAINED THAT I WILL NOT PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER, DRIVING WITH A HARD TO BRAKE VEHICLE, THEY SAID THEN JUST TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESET IT AND THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS MAYBE ABOUT EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR APX THE PAST 3 YEARS. FORTUNATELY WE HAVEN'T GOT INTO AND ACCIDENT BUT THIS A CONCERN TO ME. UP TO NOW I DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO REPORT IT TO, BUT AFTER WATCHING RESENT REPORTS ABOUT ANOTHER VEH COMPANY ON TV, I DECIDED TO NOTIFY YOU. *TR
