I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY WITH MY 3 KIDS IN THE CAR AND THE VDC SLIP AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NO WHERE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND I BROUGH THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AFTER PAYING FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSIS IT THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO CCOME ON SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I WOULD TAKE IT IN AND THEY WOULD SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG. ONE PARTICULAR DAY I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 3 KIDS AND I WENT TO STOP AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO DO A PULSING ACTION AND SOUNDED AS THOUGH THEY WERE GRINDING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I STARTED TO CRY AND PANIC BECAUSE I HAD ALL OF MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO SO I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND LET THE CAR ROLL AND JUST PULLED AWAY FROM TRAFFIC AS MUCH AS I COULD. FINALLY I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I HIT THE BREAKS AND EMERGENCY BREAK TO MAKE IT STOP. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND WAS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE AFTER THAT SO I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ASKED IF I COULD BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY. ONCE AT THE DEALER I WAS TOLD AGAIN NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT MY BRAKES WERE FINE AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME 2 MORE TIMES AND STILL NO ONE SEEMS TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND EACH TIME I PRESS ON THEM I AM TERRIFIED THAT THE CAR IS NOT GONNA STOP. THE BRAKES ALWAYS FEEL AS THOUGH THEY AREN'T GONNA STOP AND THEY HAVE AN UNEASY FEELING WHEN YOU PRESS THEM. I CANNOT CLAIM THE CAR AS A LEMON BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT USED WITH 29,000 MILES WHICH IS NOT ALOT. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR THE NISSAN ARMADA BECAUSE MY CAR DID NOT HAVE ALOT OF MILES WHEN THIS STARTED AND IT IS STILL HAVING ISSUES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE CONCERNS WITH NISSAN VEHICLES LOSING POWER AND DYING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. WHEN CONSUMERS TAKE THE VEHICLES IN FOR DIAGNOSIS, THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS CANNOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. NISSAN SERVICE DEPT. STAFF GIVE UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSES SUCH AS "WE COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM." ALL THEY DO IS TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLES BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT EASILY DUPLICATED AS IT OCCURS RANDOMLY. I DID A SIMPLE SEARCH ON THE NISSAN FORUMS ONLINE AND QUICKLY DISCOVERED IT IS RELATED TO THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ("IPDM"). SURE ENOUGH, THEY REPLACED THE IPDM AT MY REQUEST AND NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VEHICLES YET THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PAST OR CURRENT RECALLS RELATED TO THIS. WHEN MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE IN A VEHICLE AND IT CANNOT SUSTAIN POWER AND DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DURING TRAFFIC, THIS MUST CERTAINLY BE AN ISSUE FOR CONSUMER SAFETY. NISSAN DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. WHEN CONSUMERS HAVE TO SELF-DIAGNOSIS THEIR VEHICLE PROBLEMS WHEN THOSE SAME PROBLEMS ARE READILY APPARENT TO CONSUMERS ON INTERNET FORUMS, NISSAN IS DROPPING THE BALL. IT'S NOT JUST ARMADAS BUT THE TITAN TRUCKS AS WELL. SYMPTOMS USUALLY INCLUDE A SHUDDERING EFFECT AND INSTANT LOSS OF POWER WITH THE VEHICLE STARTING RIGHT BACK UP AFTER THE IGNITION KEY IS TURNED ON AGAIN. MY NISSAN ARMADA LOST POWER ON AT LEAST FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS FROM AUGUST TO SEPTEMBER 2011. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHETHER IT BE STRAIT AHEAD DRIVING AND MAKING TURNS WHILE IN TURNING LANES; NEVER WHEN IT WAS SITTING IDLE. UNBELIEVABLE THAT SOMEONE HASN'T BEEN IN A CRASH OR DIED FROM SIMILAR ISSUES.
