| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving my 2005 nissan armada last fall, i tapped the brakes and encountered a severe vibration phenomena that i had never experienced on a vehicle before. i stopped. turned off vehicle. called for my husband to help. when he arrived, i started the car and the problem was gone. i took it to my local dealer in manchester, tn (roberts nissan 931-728-2212). at that time, the vehicle was still under warranty. they were unable to reproduce the vibration or to find the problem, but they went ahead and changed out some brake pads and did some repair on the rotors. i had no further problems until this month. this time my husband was with me when the same vibration occurred. he thought that it felt like the abs was trying to kick in for some unknown reason. i had never had an abs vehicle, so i wasn't familiar with that type of braking reaction. i called the dealer and told them that the exact same thing had happened again and that i was bringing the vehicle to them. this time they told me that they had seen that same type of thing on a titan truck recently. sure enough, after checking they discovered an abs transducer needed replacing. it was back ordered, and they gave me another car to drive because they felt that it would be unsafe for me to drive the vehicle. they were afraid of the problem occurring while driving at highway speed on the interstate. although the problem was first noticed and reported while under warranty, nissan would not fully cover the repair. it apparently was also a safety issue. i believe that the dealer was trying to help, but i am very disappointed with nissan and filed a complaint (file #5775171). i felt that my repair bill should've been covered entirely. i also wonder if perhaps a recall should be done based on the safety issue and the fact that the part was back ordered which leads me to believe there may be many others with the same problem. my repair bill was $782.67. |
