| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2005 nissan armada (16,000 miles) with brake problems. i purchased the vehicle on august 22, 2006. it was taken to a nissan dealer two days later with brake problems. the dealer replaced the front rotors and pads, the rear rotors were resurfaced with new pads. i picked the vehicle up on friday, and returned with it back to the dealer on monday. my armada was not fixed. the steering wheel still was violently shaking,and the front brake pedal was spongy,as well as the brakes over heating. the dealer had the armada for three days to fix/replace a front caliper new pads again, and wheel balance. i believe more work was done, however the work order does not reflect any other repairs. what really disturbs me is that i found out that in october of 2005 the armada had the brakes replaced by the original owner. the vehicle was not even a year old at that time. this makes 3 repairs for the same problem in less than two years. nissan states the brakes issues are corrected, i think that every 10k i will have to have the brakes replaced over and over. nissan stated that no other pads or rotors will be covered under a warranty,since they were fixed twice already. i will say the dealer has been very good so far,but what happens when i need brakes again. i am aware of other armada owners with this same issue. what can be done to finally correct this safety problem. *jb |
