NHTSA Complaint #10915486 — 2006 NISSAN ARMADA

OWN A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA LE. STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE BRAKE, VDC, SLIP, AND 4WD LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THOUGHT IT APPEARED BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING COLD. DROVE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS DOWN A CITY A STREET AND HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED AND THE TRUCK JOLTED A LITTLE BIT. AFTER ANOTHER BLOCK, LIGHTS WENT AWAY AND DIDN'T HAVE MORE ANY ISSUES ON THE WAY HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME, TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK, NO LIGHTS. DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND READ MANY ISSUES RELATING TO THIS. A COUPLE A DAYS LATER CHECKED THE TRUCK, ON START-UP...NO LIGHTS, THEN WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE SAME LIGHTS LIT UP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, LIGHTS WERE LIT, BRAKES ENGAGED, AND SPEEDOMETER WAS FLUCTUATING AND THEN DIDN'T MOVE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, SPEEDOMETER ACTIVATED AGAIN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS PUT IN PARK. NISSAN DEALERSHIP DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THE ADVISOR INDICATED BOTH THE ECM AND ABS ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY WERE FRIED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, $3,100 TO START OUT WITH. TRUCK IS STILL AT THE SHOP, NO WORK HAS STARTED. NOTIFIED NISSAN CUSTOMER RELATIONS SINCE THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE, WAITING TO HEAR BACK. ALSO CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD TELL ME AND IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE. CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. BACK THE NEXT DAY AND TALKED TO ANOTHER ADVISOR, THE ADVISOR INDICATED SINCE THERE ARE SOME ARE HARD CODES (U1000, U1001) DISPLAYED WITH THE ECM AND ABS ASSEMBLY, THE SYSTEMS POTENTIALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED.
