2008 NISSAN ARMADA Fuelpropulsion System Problems

My son & I took the car out two days after I bought it. Wanted to see how things looked at night. I took an unfamiliar rd ,( why,I dont know) Enjoying the ride and all the dash lights and bright headlights. Coming up to what appeared to be a slight downhill, curved rd, The car suddenly would not let me steer or brake or, What the heck! I thought its broken and we are going to crash in the trees! Realizing the car shut itself off,im asking, ok yelling at my son, what do I do??? IT took all I had to try & stay calm, and drive like , back when. (No power steering,)but not sure what to do about brakes. Thank God, I had made that corner ok and as rd leveled, I was slowing enough to pull out of the way of the guy behind me...

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATELY DISPLAYING THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. It is the same as the recall for Nissan Armada’s with other VIN numbers, however it doesn’t cover mine, despite matching the year of manufacture, description, and diagnosis of issue. I am asking that the VIN numbers be updated to include mine. Also, under the “status” panel of my electronic display, it’s shows 70-80~ miles left of driving range before running out of fuel.

For the past couple of years my 2008 Nissan Armada has been giving me issues with the gas gauge not reading accurately, it has progressed over time. It started out happening around a quarter of a tank with anywhere from 25 to 60 miles to empty according to the reading on the screen display. There has been no warning of running out of gas, it just happens while driving, the vehicle starts to shut down & the steering wheel eventually locks up, I do not have very long to find a driveway or parking lot to coast into before the vehicle completely shuts down. Over time it has happened at different intervals indicating I still have gas according to the gauge & the screen display, one time it showed as much as 147 miles to empty. My husband & I researched what may need to be checked or replaced to...

While driving, the unit that houses the TV and stereo and air vents (center console on roof) decided to break and fall on my child who was in her car seat, almost resulting in me crashing my vehicle. This is a hazard alone. Due to the poor design of this center console, there is no way to repair this piece. It has to be replaced with the same faulty piece, which will eventually break again due to it not being able to sustain the weight. This happened to me at about 78,000 miles. I had to remove the center console.

The fuel system failed while I was driving in traffic. The vehicle shutoff and would not restart. Safety is was in flowing traffic my vehicle all of sudden stopped forward motion. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone. The check engine and battery light came on. I do not recall the other indicators. My fuel gauge was showing a needles width of 1/4 tank when this happened. I bought a gas can and went to the closest gas station for fuel. I put two gallons in and the vehicle started up.

The gauge can indicate that the vehicle has 1/2 tank of gas 153miles remaining until empty when in fact the tank is nearly empty. While driving on highway my 2 children, my daughter friend and myself the vehicle began to drag, I was like oh my God it feels like it's going to cut off. I immediately had a anxiety attack trying to figure out what was happening because no warning lights came on in which had me panic even more. I tried to calm down and get off to side of roadway at least before it did shut off. As soon as I started to drive off to side it shut off I tried to give it gas nothing and the steering wheel had tighten up(no power)so now we was rolling and I'm trying my hardest to steer so we wouldn't hit anything. It was the most scariest moment...

BRAKES ARE OUT SMELLING GAS AIR SUSPENSION JUST MAKES NOISE REAR DOOR STOPED WORKINGHORN STOPPED WORKING AIR IS OUT STOPED WORKING THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS OUT THERE IS BRAKE FLUID IN BUT BREAKS STILL NOT WORKING DON'T NEED ANY BREAKERS GEARS GETS STUCK AIRBAGS NOT WORKING I WAS DRIVINGWHEN THE BREAKS WENT HAD TO RUN IN A DITCH AN WHEN I MAKE LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS THAT'S WHEN I SMELL GAS AN THE HEAT WORKS BUT THE AIR STOP

FUEL GAUGE AND MILES TO GO ARE BOTH INCORRECT. I'VE THIS VEHICLE ALMOST 2 YEARS! THE MILES TO GO MAY SHOW ANYWHERE FROM 40 TO ESTIMATED 100 THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR DIES. I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF STEERING, BRAKES, FLASHER DOES NOT WORK. EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED I'VE NEARLY GOTTEN HIT AND OF COURSE STRANDED UNTIL SOMEONE CAN HELP ME. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE IN 2010 BUT IT EXPIRED! THIS ISSUE IS REALLY DANGEROUS AND WHETHER OR NOT RECALL IS EXPIRED, I'M NOT GONNA BE SO LUCKY IN THE END! I WILL EVENTUALLY GET HIT AND EITHER ME , MY PASSENGERS OR OTHER PARTY WILL BE SERIOUSLY HURT! PLEASE REACH OUT TO NISSAN ON THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE! I DIDN'T HAVE THE VEHICLE DURING THE RECALL PERIOD 2010. I PURCHASED IN DECEMBER OF 2017! DURING THIS TIME THIS...

WITHIN THE LAST TWO MONTHS THE ABS LIGHT WILL APPEAR ON THE DASH ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD VIBRATION AND A LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. I HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY ON CORNERS AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS LEADING TO A CRASH. ALSO WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS THE FUEL GUAGE HAS STARTED TO SHOW MORE FUEL IN THE TANK THAN WHAT IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND PROVIDED THE VIN AND THEY SAID THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR RECALL SERVICE HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ON THIS VIN.

I PURCHASED A USED NISSAN 2008 ARMADA LE FROM ROYAL NISSAN ON 07/11/2015 AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON AND THEY TOLD ME THE TIRES WERE LOW AND THE SENSORS ARE GONE AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR IT HAD THE TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS AND TRUCK WOULD NOT START PAID FOR FUEL PUMP AND WRECKER AND THEY SAID IT WAS COMPUTER 400.00 OUT OF POCKET WHEN IT WAS A RECALL ON FUEL SYSTEM BEFORE I HAD TRUCK AND WHEN DRIVING TRUCK AROUND CURVE IT IS LIKE THE TRUCK IS ABOUT TO LOOSE CONTROL FROM THE FRONT AND REAR YOU HAVE TO HOLD STEERING WHEEL TIGHT.BUT I NEED MY 400AND SOMETHING DOLLARS BACK THEY MADE ME PAY FOR A RECALL PART SHAME ON THEM.NOW IN APRIL MY BATTERY WENT OUT AND I CHANGED IT AND THE AIRBAG SEAT BELT LIGHT IS ON BLINKING AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE...
