| I purchased a nissan armada in april 2004 and two months later had to bring it to dealer for repair as the brakes were shuddering causing tremendous shimmy in the steering wheel. the dealership, nissan thousand oaks, did not replace the warped rotors, instead switching them around and replacing the brake pads. the additional problem of a rattle and squeaking sound from dashboard resulted in the dealership realigning the dashboard properly. two months later i was back at the dealership to fix the brakes again. this time i demanded that the inferior rotors be replaced with higher-quality rotors. they replaced the factory-installed rotors with new rotors (told better quality rotors) and they also had to replace the brake pads again. additionally, there i was experiencing an intermittent problem with the a/c; it would sometimes run very hot air. they checked it out and found that the clutch fan needed to be replaced; this part is on order and i will have to return for installation. also, i asked them to once again fix a squeaking and rattling issue that seemed to be coming from the dashboard again and also intermittent failure of the stereo controls located on the steering wheel. according to their mechanics, the sound problem and stereo controls problem did not occur while my vehicle was in their possession. a week later, august 12, 2004, i had to return to have the clutch fan replaced and this time i also requested that one of their mechanics drive the vehicle with me so that i could point out the squeaking issue. the mechanic heard the sound problem this time and i am told they will try to fix this issue. i have not had a problem again, as yet with the stereo controls on the steering wheel. | |||

| Today i took 2004 armada through a touch less car wash as i have done many times before. the upper rear high mount brake light housing, actually a body part of the vehicle, came off during the exiting of the car wash. this happened when the blower blew the water off the armada and blew this housing down onto the rear window. upon inspection the plastic rivets that hold the housing in place had sheered off, and the wind blew the unit down onto the window. the unit came down with enough force to break the back window and did infect scratch it. the only thing preventing the unit from coming completely off and becoming a projectile object was the wiring. it appears that the auto mobile maker is aware of this, but does not warn consumers, and will not repair this design flaw with substantial anchors. in a roll over this could come off completely and become a projectile object. additionally, until i am able to get this fixed i am riding around without benefit of a rear brake light as required by federal law. i have been told by others, armada newsgroup, that this is a common problem with these units, and that nissan refuses to accept the liability. we have paid a lot for these vehicles, and do expect a reasonable amount of safety.*ak | |||
