CAR BEGAN SHAKING WHEN BRAKES APPLIED AT 13,000 MILES. CALLED DEALER TO SEE IF THIS WAS UNCOMMON OR IF OTHER ARMADA DRIVERS WERE COMPLAINING AND TOLD THEY KNEW OF NO PROBLEM. TOOK CAR INTO LOCAL AUTO STORE AND WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE BAD AND TO TAKE BACK TO THE DEALER SINCE IT WAS NOT COMMON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN SO EARLY. DEALERSHIP TURNED ROTORS. SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED 3000 MILES LATER AND BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER AND ASKED FOR ROTORS NOT TO BE TURNED, BUT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY JUST TURNED THE ROTORS AGAIN. SEEMS THEY ARE JUST PUTTING A BANDAID UNTIL I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEM MYSELF. I HAVE KIDS AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE. I AM READY TO BRING IT IN AGAIN BECAUSE THE CAR IS SHAKING AGAIN. I HAVE OTHER ISSUES, BUT THEY ARE JUST BOTHERSOME. THIS BRAKE PROBLEM SCARES ME AND IT IS EXPENSIVE TO KEEP FIXING THIS WHEN IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. HELP!!!!

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ALONG IN TRAFFIC AT BETWEEN 30-40 MILES PER HOUR FOLLOWING ABOUT 3+ CAR LINKS BEHIND, I WENT TO MAKE AN EMERGENCE STOP AND HAD VERY DIMINISHED BRAKING POWER AND ENDED UP HITTING THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE (LUCKY NOT HITTING SOMEONE) AND TOOK IT TO MY NISSAN DEAL WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO BRAKE PROBLEMS. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND MY DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE EXPRESSED TO NISSAN USA THAT THE PROBLEM SOUNDS VERY FAMILIAR TO THE REPORTS IN THEIR OPEN RECALL "TEM AFFECTED: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER DATE ANNOUNCED: 10/21/2013 DESCRIPTION OF RECALL: NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
