| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: October 5, 2005 re: vin# [xxx] (2004 nissan armada) the brakes are defective and do not work properly when applying pressure to stop. we have never received any notification from nissan disclosing any brake issues or concerns. we have always been the ones to inform the dealer of our problems each time even though there was a nissan bulletin in existence. last month (september, 2005) was the first time we received a letter from nissan with respect to the brakes and they have informed all of the nissan armada owners that they will allow unlimited mileage/or up to 36 months to fix anything that has to do with the brakes. after four times getting the brakes fixed the brakes are still defective. the brakes are a hazard to me and my family as well as to others on the road. the brakes vibrate intensely and causes the whole car to shake and vibrate not just the steering wheel. it is hard to control the steering wheel and the vehicle itself is hard to control. my wife and my child are not riding in the vehicle at all and we had bought this vehicle to have as our new safe family vehicle but it is not safe at all. we have begun the process allowed under the massachusetts new car lemon law and other possible options including court action. just yesterday on october 4th, i (dino) while driving on the highway was almost in a three car accident i had applied my brakes going 50 mph to avoid a another car changing lanes without a signal and when i applied the brakes to avoid the car the brakes vibrated so much and the steering wheel and the whole car shook, i lost control of the vehicle and spun around to the breakdown lane thankfully, and was not hit from behind. i am formally informing the nhtsa of this and am praying that these vehicles are taken off the road before accidents occur and god forbid someone is injured or killed.
