NHTSA complaint: 2004 NISSAN CREW — SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
I'M LEASING A 2005 ARMADA. I LEASED THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2004. SINCE THEN I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK 3 TIMES TO HAVE THE ROTORS RESURFACED, THIS WEEK WILL MAKE NUMBER 4. NISSAN HAS INDICATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE THE PROBLEM AND THAT I NEED TO BRING IT IN EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS AND THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON A RECALL. THE CAR SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND IS DIFFICULT TO STOP. AT TIMES IT BOUNCES AS YOU ARE APPLYING THE BRAKES WHICH HAS CAUSED ME TO GO INTO OTHER LANES OF TRAFFIC. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND APPLYING THE BRAKES THE CAR STILL GOES FORWARD EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. I HAVE TO PUT ALL MY WEIGHT DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE IN ORDER TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING. AT TIMES THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I'M IN A PARKING LOT. LAST WEEK I WAS MAKING A 3 POINT TURN AND BACKED UP. THE CAR DIDN'T STOP AND I HIT A POLE. THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY CENSORS ON THE BUMPER AND DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER. I HAVE YET TO ADVISE NISSAN BUT PLAN TO DO SO. I TRIED TO TRADE IN THIS VEHICLE FOR A DIFFERENT NISSAN AND THE SAME DEALERSHIP WAS NOT AS WILLING TO WORK THE DEAL WITH THIS CAR AS THEY HAVE THE PAST TWO CARS I'VE LEASED FROM THE SAME DEALER. IAM ASSUMING BECAUSE IT'S FALLING APART. ASIDE FROM THE MAJOR DEFECT THIS CAR HAS (THE BRAKES). ACCESSORIES ARE JUST FALLING OFF THE CAR, PLASTIC PIECES ARE COMING OFF FROM THE BACK SEATS. MY ELECTRONIC SEAT BUTTONS THAT ARE LOCATED ON THE SEATS BY THE DOORS ARE COMING OUT. THE SUNGLASS COMPARTMENT FELL OFF COM
