2005 NISSAN ARMADA Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

THE FUEL SHOWS THAT I HAVE A QUARTER OF A TANK OR A BIT MORE LEFT AND THE NUMBER MILEAGE ON THE SCREEN SHOWS THE SAME. MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY STOPS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED LAST YEAR FOR THE SAME REASON AND HERE I AM AGAIN. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL AND MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. I CALLED NISSAN AND THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME TOLD CONTACT NHTSA TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE.....HE ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCKS. I FEEL AS THOUGH IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. WE WERE LUCKY THIS TIME. MY AIR BAG LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF EITHER AND HE MENTIONED THIS WAS ANOTHER RECALL.. WHY DID THIS VIN MISS THE RECALLS. IT CLEARLY HAS THOSE ISSUES. THEY WANT ME TO GO TO A DEALER AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO DO THAT. THE DEALERS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE. HOPEFULLY...

I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE LOUD EXHAUST NOISE AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPORTS OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM ONLINE. I HAVE JUST FAILED MY STATE SAFETY INSPECTION IN MISSOURI AND FOUND OUT THAT THE LOUD NOISE WAS BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. BOTH ARE BROKEN IN THE SAME PLACE. NISSAN IS UNWILLING TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE FROM THE START.I BELIEVE IT IS UNETHICAL FOR NISSAN TO KNOWINGLY NOT OFFER REPLACEMENTS. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN AT RISK FOR YEARS AND NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS TO TAKE ACTION? HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE YOU SEEN? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH UP HILL, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 11/04/11*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL ON THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE. UPDATD 11/14/11

DRIVING FINE THEN AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, LIKE IT IS IN A HIGHER GEAR. AFTER REACHING 10MPH IT DRIVES PERFECTLY FINE. IF AFTER STOPPING YOU CUT THE ENGINE AND RESTART, IT IS FINE. REVERSE WORKS FINE. CODE P1757 COMES UP ON TEST. A BAD VALVE BODY. I'VE SEEN THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET MOSTLY ON NISSAN '05 MODELS, MAYBE SOME '06. VERY FRUSTRATING, NISSAN SAYS I NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. I'M THINKING A RECALL SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN ON OTHER YEAR MODELS AS MUCH. *TT

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON DUE TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. RECEIVED WARRANTY NOTICE FROM NISSAN OF PROBLEM WITH CATALYTIC FAILURE, HOWEVER, MY MILEAGE PREVENTED FREE REPLACEMENT. MY STATE REQUIRE EMISSION TESTING EACH YEAR, THEREFORE, WITHOUT REPLACEMENT I WOULD BE UNABLE TO REGISTER MY TRUCK. MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW AND IS SERVICE ON A REGULAR BASIS. PAID FOR REPLACEMENT. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THE AIR COMPRESSOR RUNNING INTERMITTENTLY, ALWAYS TRYING TO PUT AIR IN THE SYSTEM. WENT ON A 200 MILE TRIP AND THE CAR FEELS VERY UNSAFE AT 70 MPH. VERY NERVOUS DRIVE ESPECIALLY AROUND CORNERS. WILL DEFINITIVELY NOT TOW LIKE THIS. *TR
