| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a nissan armada suv (model le 5.6 v8). the car was purchased new in 3/2005 and now has some 3000 miles. we experienced strong vibration of the steering wheel while braking and took the car to the service dept. at the reno (nv) dealership. yesterday, the dealership told us that nissan has a problem with all armada & titan models of 2004/2005 and the problem is causing all brakes to vibrate as the brake discs touch the brake pads. this is apparently something that nissan knows for a while because all the parts are on "back order" and will not be available for a few months and involves > 100,000 vehicles. the dealer told us that the problem may come back in a few months / thousands of miles and for the meantime the "brakes were warped" which is a temporary fix. we are interested to investigate why (a) nissan has not declared a formal recall to fix the problem and make customers aware that a problem exists and (b) to find out if the problem is hazardous to life and if other people complained about the same problem. thank you. *nm |
