| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased my 2004 nissan pathfinder armada in december 2004 with approx. 10 miles. around the turn of 4,000 miles, my vehicle began to shake uncontrollably when the brakes were applied. this shaking was so bad that the truck was unable to stop or steer properly. my wife and i have both narrowly avoided major potentially injurious accidents as a result of this problem. we stopped driving the vehicle because of safety conerns, but when this was brought up to the dealerships and nissan north america we were assured there "was no safety issue". the dealership has assisted with the problem and provided a "temporary fix" to the problem. the dealer also explained that this temporary fix will not last very long and i'll have to come back within a few hundred to a thousand miles. the dealer assured me that they'd attempt to get the hardware to replace the source of the problem, "inferior rotors that are too small for the truck", but until then i'll have to continue to pay for my inferior product. the most damaging statement made by the dealer, against the corporation, was that since so many vehicles had this problem and the corporation could not order enough parts fast enought to fix the faulty vehicles, "nissan motors will not allow me to get a hardware package until you bring the vehicle in the third time". this was actual guidance put out by nissan motors to dealers to avoid a backlog. this was confirmed when i spoke with nissan motors north america on june 09, 2005. i have documented all of this information if anyone is interested in it. no one in my family was injured as a result of this, but it is probably only because we took our vehicle out of service voluntarily. |
