NHTSA Complaint #10148583 — 2005 NISSAN ARMADA

PURCHASED 2005 ARMADA IN MAY BY JUNE VEHICLE WENT INTO SERVICE BECAUSE A NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR SIDE. 2 ATTEMPTS TO FIX AND PART WAS REPLACED. AUGUST 2005 TAKEN TO DEALER AGAIN BECAUSE OF SHAKING WHILE BRAKING, AND FRONT ROTORS /PADS WERE REPLACED, AND REAR ROTORS RESURFACED. JANUARY 2006 VEHICLE TAKEN BACK TO DEALER BECAUSE THERE WAS A GRINDING. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM WERE THE TIRES THAT NEEDED BALANCING AND ROTATING. ANOTHER PROBLEM WAS THE LIFTGATE, IT DID NOT WANT TO OPEN AND CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 3 DAYS AND THEY STILL DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. AS ANOTHER CONSUMER MENTIONED THE STABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE WAS VERY POOR, I HAVE SWIRVED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKING AT 50 MPH OR MORE. ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN SERVICE THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS. *AK
