  2005 NISSAN ARMADA BRAKE HYDRAULIC FAILURE. IT HAPPEN AT LEAST ONCE EVERY OTHER MONTH EVER SINCE I OWN THE ARMADA BACK WHEN IT'S ABOUT 15K MILES. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AND COMING TO A STOP, THE BRAKE LIGHT LED UP AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS USELESS, IT MAKE GRINDING SOUND, SOUND LIKE SPRINGS POPPING OUT IN FRONT OF THE ARMADA FROM TIRES. ALMOST CRASH THE ARMADA INTO ANOTHER CAR STOPPING IN FRONT SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO USELESS BRAKES. TOOK IT THE MOSSY NISSAN HOUSTON, THEY CAN'T "REPLICATE" THE ISSUE BACK YEARS AGO. ONCE YOU SHUT OFF THE ARMADA, IT RESET AND IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUE, PERHAPS UNTIL SOMEONE GET HURT OR KILL??????! *TR

  VEHICLE: 2005 NISSAN ARMADA FAILURE: COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM INCIDENT: WHILE DRIVING LOST COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM, LEAVING ME WITH NO ABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. RESOLUTION: I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE ISSUE AND THAT THEY WOULD "REFLASH" THE ECM THAT "SHOULD" CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I FOUND MANY OTHER OWNER OF 2004 - 2007 NISSAN ARMADA AND TITAN VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS BEST DESCRIBED AS AN INTERMITTENT COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM THAT IS RESOLVED BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN AND THE DEALER THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER SAYING THAT ANY COMPONENT FAILURE THAT CAUSES THIS MUST BE CONTAINED IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED OTHER CUSTOMERS BRAKE BOOSTERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO MAKE THERE CUSTOMERS AWARE OF!!!! *TR

  2005 NISSAN ARMADA. MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT HAS TURNED ON AND REMAINED ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND WAS RECENTLY SERVICED BY THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP ABOUT A WEEK AGO. PRIOR TO THE ISSUE OF THE AIR BAG LIGHT THE BRAKING SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE INTERMITTENT IN STOPPING THE SUV, WHICH IS ALSO FELT IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE BRAKING. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE. THIS ALL MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED BUT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE SAFETY OF DRIVING. TO MY KNOWLEDGE SIMILAR PROBLEMS ARE ADDRESSED IN THE 2007 AND 2008 NISSANS VEHICLES BUT NOTHING YET FOR MY 05 ARMADA. HOW CAN YOU HELP? I WOULD HATE FOR THESE PROBLEMS TO BE THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT ONE DAY. THESE COMPLAINTS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO OTHERS ON YOUR WEB SITE. *TR

THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AND ADDED FLUID TO THE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS HAPPENED AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR 13 MONTHS. SYMPTOMS: BRAKE PEDDLE FELL TO THE FLOORBOARD, GRINDING WAS FELT AND HEARD, DASH BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKE PADS FELL OFF THE CALIPERS AND THE CALIPERS AND ROTORS WERE RUBBING AGAINST EACH OTHER TO STOP THE TRUCK, WHICH DIDN'T HAPPEN. I HAD ROUGHLY 20% BRAKING POWER, COMPARED TO NORMAL, WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I HAVE HAD BAKE WORK DONE OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND THE ISSUE CONTINUE TO COME BACK AND IT'S VERY RANDOM. MY COUSIN WHOM HAS A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA ALSO CALL ME TODAY COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. DID MORE RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS WEB SITE HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0FFEA4 WERE THERE WERE OVER 100 POST OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THERE ARMADA. LUCKY I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS ISSUE, BUT I FEEL AS IF MY DAY IS COMING. MY VEHICLE IS PAID OFF, AND I DON'T FEEL AS IF THIS IS A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE OF THE VEHICLE, AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE NISSAN IS REFUSING TO REPAIR AN SAFETY ISSUE WITH ONE IF IT VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP, RESOLVING THIS ISSUE COULD PREVENT ME OR SOMEONE ELSE FROM HAVING AN ACCIDENT BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT COULD HELP SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LOOK AT THE WEB SITE I PROVIDED. I FEEL AS IF THE THERE MAY NOT BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO REPORT ISSUES. *TR

I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I THEN SHUT IT OFF AND THEN STARTED IT BACK UP, WHICH CLEARED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. A FEW DAYS LATER I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME THE VDC NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOW ISSUE BY NISSAN FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER CHARGED ME TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE, YET LESS THAN 1,000 MILES LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. BACK TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT NOW THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDS REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF ANOTHER $1,000 AS PART OF THE SAME KNOWN ISSUE.

• 12/01/2019· SERVICE BRAKES

  DRIVING IN TRAFFIC CAUSES BRAKES TO LOCK AS IF THE PARKING BRAKES WERE SET. I HAVE TO PULL OVER SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, PRESS ON THE PARKING FOOT BRAKE TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE THE BRAKES, TURN OFF AND ON THE VEHICLE TO "RESET" THE BRAKES. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY. IN ALL MULTIPLE OCCASIONS NEARLY REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE MY FAMILY WITH ME IN THE VEHICLE.

DEALER WANTS $1K TO FIX BOOSTER AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, IT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED, RAN OUT OF GAS 2 TIMES WHEN GAUGE STILL SHOWS 1/4 TANK.

I WAS TOLD THERE'S A RECALL 2005-2009 BUT ON NOT ON MY VIN #. THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS BAD AND WAS NOT READING IT SHOWS 1/4 OF A TANK BUT IT WAS OUT OF GAS.

  I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES STARTING IN 13' WITH THE ECM BEING REPLACED AFTER 05' ARMADA STALLED ON HIGHWAY TRAVELING 70 MILES/HOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. RECENTLY IN EARLY 15' I RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A QUARTER TANK OF GAS AT A RED LIGHT. ALSO IN EARLY 15' MY A/C WILL ONLY WORK WHEN ON HIGH. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE KNOWN & ARE LISTED AS RECALLS THAT I WILL BE MAKING A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO RESEARCH, CORRECT & FIX. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR & EXACT KNOWN ISSUES ONLINE. MOST RECENTLY IN NOVEMBER 15' I WAS PICKING MY CHILDREN UP FROM SCHOOL IN THE RAIN. I WAS TRAVELING HOME WHEN I HAD TO APPLY MY BREAKS, BUT THEY DID NOT PERFORM AS THEY SHOULD. THE BREAKS MADE A SPRING SOUND, THE BRAKE PEDDLE HAD LITTLE TO NO RESISTANCE WHEN I APPLIED MY FOOT TO STOP & THE BREAK LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO VEER OFF THE ROAD & RAN INTO A FENCE POST VERY LIGHTLY WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE TO MY FRONT CHROME BUMPER. I TURNED CAR OFF & IMMEDIATELY CHECKED ON MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. WE WERE ALL OK, THANK GOD. I STARTED ARMADA TO FIND THAT THE BREAK LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. I HESITATED TO DRIVE DUE TO WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. I WAS ONLY 3 MILES FROM HOME SO I SLOWLY ATTEMPTED TO CONTINUE HOME. THE ARMADA DROVE PERFECT & THE BREAKS FUNCTIONED AS THEY SHOULD WITH NO ISSUES. I GOOGLED INCIDENT TO FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS & REPORTS WITH SIMILAR TO IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS/KNOW ISSUE REPORTED & FILED. I WAS BLESSED THAT MY FAMILY WAS OK & I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A SERIOUS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT WITH LOSS OF BREAKS ONE TIME FOR NO REASON. THIS WAS THE 1ST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF OUTCOME IT COULD CAUSE WITH TEMPORARY BREAK FAILURE. NO NEED FOR LIFES TO BE LOST OR LAWSUITS TO MAKE IT RIGHT AND CORRECT/FIX ISSUE AT NO COST.

  THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON NOVEMBER 15, 2014 WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT GOING NORTH BEFORE THE INTERSECTION (OVERPASS) OF CARMENITA STREET, NORWALK, CA AND I-5 FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES LOST POWER ALONG WITH GIVING A SPRING SOUND. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC . NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AS STATED AND BECAUSE OF THIS MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE/PROBLEM. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED BRAKING POWER RETURNS TO NORMAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF. THIS IS THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT IT HAPPENED BUT I WAS SCARED AND LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY ON FREEWAYS WITH MY FAMILY AS PASSENGERS AND PUTTING THEM, MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER PEOPLE IN DANGER. IT SEEMS THAT I AM NOT ALONE WHO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE AFTER DOING A RESEARCH OVER THE INTERNET. *TR

• 11/18/2013· SERVICE BRAKES

  WHEN TRAVELING BACK FROM WASHINGTON D.C. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER OF MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA AND NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHT WAS LIT UP ON MY DASH AREA. WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES I HAD VERY MINIMAL BRAKING POWER APPROXIMATELY 20-30% AT BEST. THIS BECAME A VERY SERIOUS AND SCARY SITUATION WHEN WE REALIZED WE WERE HEADING INTO A TRAFFIC JAM! I WAS ABLE TO RIDE ON THE SHOULDER AND APPLY THE BRAKES UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO STOP BUT BY NO MEANS DID I HAVE THE BRAKING CAPABILITY THAT WE SHOULD HAVE. THE BRAKING SYSTEM SEEMS TO FIX ITSELF WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTART THE CAR HOWEVER THIS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE DOESN'T PROVIDE A CODE WHEN IT IS RESTARTED. WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO A SERVICE STATION THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A CODE TO GIVE TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I WAS ASTONISHED TO FIND HOW MANY NISSAN OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND HOW THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT REALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE OUR 1ST INCIDENT BACK IN 2009 AND IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY. I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLES COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET OF THE SAME ISSUE AND NISSANS SUPPOSED FIXES THAT END UP NOT WORKING AND COSTING PEOPLE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. I SIMPLY WANT TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITHOUT FEAR OF MY BRAKES GOING OUT AND PUTTING MYSELF, CHILDREN AND OTHERS IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. NISSAN NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION AND FIX THE PROBLEM ASAP BECAUSE IF HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF ON TO THE SHOULDER OR OFF INTO A GAS STATION WHEN THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING IT COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR POSSIBLY DEATH. I AM ABOUT READY TO GO TO THE NEWS WITH THIS STORY BECAUSE NISSAN IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM NOR IS THERE A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE. THIS CAN CAUSE GREAT INJURY OR WORSE DEATH IF NOT HANDLED CORRECTLY AND SOON. *TR

  PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN MAY 2015, MY TRUSTED MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT SEPTEMBER 2015 AND REPORTED BACK IT WAS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO ISSUES. JULY 2016 EXPERIENCED BREAK FAILURE AT 15 MILES AN HOUR. AGAIN MY MECHANIC TROUBLESHOOTED THE ISSUES AND SAID THE POWER BREAK BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE THEN REFERRED ME TO NISSAN FOR POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH CORPORATE NISSAN WHO ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO PROVE THE ISSUE EXISTED, FOR ANY POTENTIAL COMPENSATION. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN THEY CONCLUDED REPROGRAMMING THE DELTA STROKE SENSOR WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM; WHICH I HAD TO PAY $300 TO HAVE THIS DONE. ON OCTOBER 2016 INOPERABLE BREAK FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN AT 65 MILES AN HOUR WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, AS I WAS APPROACHING AN EXIT RAMP. THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRED TWICE IN ONE DAY, JUST A WEEK LATER. ONCE AS I LEFT WORK GOING 40 MILES AN HOUR, MY DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH VDC AND SKID LIGHTS, IN ADDITION TO MY BREAK FAILURE LIGHT. THE SECOND TIME OCCURRED GOING DOWN A CITY STREET WHERE I HAD TO DO A ROLLING STOP THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, DODGING ONCOMING TRAFFIC, EVENTUALLY HITTING A CURB TO STOP. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE BACK TO NISSAN FOR THEM TO TEST DRIVE (RECREATE) THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE OFF THE LOT DUE TO SAFETY HAZARDS. I HAVE SPENT HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH CORPORATE TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE; BUT YET NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM, OR REFUND ME MY MONEY FOR THE FAILED REPROGRAMMING. THIS VEHICLE IS GEARED TOWARDS FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN; AND BOTH MY CHILDREN WERE PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE DURING ALL FAILURES. AFTER SEARCHING THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION WEBSITE, I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF DOCUMENTED CASES REVOLVING AROUND THE SAME SAFETY HAZARD.

• 11/09/2010· PARKING BRAKE,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  AT ANY GIVEN TIME, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL APPEAR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. DURING THIS TIME EXTRA EFFORT IS REQUIRED TO APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN TRYING TO STOP. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THERE IS A HORRIBLE GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON CAN SOMETIMES "FIX" IT BUT ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY IT DID IT 5 TIMES IN A ROW. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN TO HAPPEN TO DRIVERS OF 2005 NISSAN ARMADAS FOR A FEW YEARS AND NISSAN HAS YET TO PERFORM/ISSUE ANY CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. WHEN YOU TAKE THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED THEY TELL YOU IT'S THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IT WILL COST $900+ TO FIX. IT AMAZED ME THAT IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THEM TO TELL ME THE SOLUTION WHEN I TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM...SO OBVIOUSLY THE DEALERSHIP HAS HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE....WHY HASN'T/ISN'T NISSAN DOING ANYTHING TO HELP ITS CUSTOMERS? *TR

  2005 NISSAN ARMADA.. HAVE A HOLE IN RADIATOR THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN THE PAST TWO MONTHS. HAD IT REPLACED IN AUGUST WHILE ON VACATION THEN LAST WEEK SMELLED THE ANTIFREEZE AND I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS A WHOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE RADIATOR AND WE NEED A NEW RADIATOR. WE HAVE A GUARD ON BOTTOM OF TRUCK TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AND DEALER SAYS THIS IS A RARE OCCURRENCE WITH THIS MODEL. PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT IS CURRENTLY SITTING AT THE DEALER WAITING TO HAVE AN INSPECTOR COME AND SEE IT SO THE WARRANTY COMPANY CAN DECIDE IF IT WILL BE COVERED. IM STILL WAITING FOR A DECISION ON THE FIRST ONE WHICH WE PAID OUT OF POCKET. *TR

• 11/03/2006· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  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

  I OWN A 2005 NISSAN ARMADA AND ON AT LEAST 4 OCCASIONS MY BRAKE LIGHT HAS COME ON WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES THEY MAKE A GRINDING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND THE BRAKES ARE NOT EFFECTIVE. SO FAR I HAVE NOT HAD ANYONE IN FRONT OF ME NOR HAVE THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS BEEN RED. IF THEY HAD I WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD TO COAST TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD OR TURN INTO A PARKING ARE. WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RE-START IT THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS. I WENT ON LINE TO A WEB SITE LISTING PROBLEMS WITH THE ARMADA AND FIND THAT MINE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS. I THINK YOU NEED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. I KNOW YOU WONT AS IN MY OPINION MOST OF YOU WORTHLESS GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES ARE USELESS AND DON'T GIVE A [XXX] ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY.
