2005 NISSAN ARMADA Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE PARKED THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE BUT THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THERE WERE PIECES OF METAL IN THE TRANSMISSION LINE. THE TECHNICIAN ATTEMPTED TO UN-CLOG THE TRANSMISSION LINE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. ....UPDATED 12/03/12 *BF THE CONSUME STATED WHEN SHE MADE A TURN, THE VEHICLE FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS GOING TO STOP. WHEN SHE STOPPED AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE, SHE SAW A REDDISH COLOR FLUID LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE, THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THREE WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION...

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

ON MARCH 7, 2008, I DROVE FROM CLEVELAND, OH TO COLUMBUS, OH. THE ROADS WERE SLIGHTLY SNOW COVERED BUT SLIPPERY AND I HAD EITHER THE AUTOMATIC OR FULL-TIME 4WD ENGAGED DURING THE 120 MILE TRIP. UPON ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION, I PARKED THE VEHICLE ON A SLIGHT UPHILL GRADE. AS I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND BEGAN TO UNLOAD IT, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK IN AND STOP IT, AND DOUBLE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE SHIFT LEVER WAS FULLY IN THE PARKED POSITION. IT WAS. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT BACK UP THE GRADE, PLACED THE SHIFT LEVER FIRMLY IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED. SURE ENOUGH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS. I MADE A SPECIAL ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THAT THE VEHICLE WHEELS WERE INDEED TURNING RATHER THAN THE VEHICLE SLIPPING WITH THE WHEELS LOCKED (IN PARK). I REPEATED...

OCTOBER 28, 2005 NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION DEAR SIR / MADAM, I CURRENTLY OWN A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA. WE ARE HAVING A CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE ROLLING BACK WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED WHILE ON AN INCLINE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. ABOUT 25% OF THE TIME WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGINS ROLLING BACK AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THERE IS NO INDICATION THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP ROLLING WITHOUT IMMEDIATELY BRAKING OR ACCELERATING QUICKLY. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO COUNTERACT THE ROLL IT SEEMS TO TAKES A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTS MOVING FORWARD. BECAUSE THIS ROLLBACK HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY I FEEL IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE VEHICLE BEHIND US, OR WORSE A PERSON WALKING BEHIND THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE TO...
