This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake warning lamp illuminated and she was unable to engage the brakes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 100,000. The consumer stated the emergency brake light would randomly illuminate. Updated 08/16/12
The er/park brake cable wrapped around axel bring the Armada to a instant stop from 55 miles per hour. The force broke the axel and dislodged the differential. Police who responded stated it was a miracle I was able to prevent the vehicle from rolling head or end or to the side when the axel snapped. It was determined that the bracket holding the cable above and over the axel failed. There is evidence on the other side that the brackets are rusting and the weld is splitting. I am a professional driver, I do not feel that no rolling of the vehicle or lack of injury or death was a miracle. I fear for the standard mom driving her children when this occurs.
