The gas nozzle would act as if it was full and spit back gas at me after a few gallons. It is getting very frustrating.
Anyone else?

So overall it's doing quite well. I bet if I dropped down from 80mph on the highway to 60mph the milage would drastically increase. I did pull up on a mound of dirt/rocks by the shop and when I crawled under afterward I noticed the front air-dam collected a ton of sand/dirt on the backside of it from when I backed off it. So for offroading I would say the front air-dam and/or bumper would need replacing along with the side steps. Other than that a friend watched and the ABLS worked great as far as LSD while i was climbing the rock pile. Just shifted power side to side stopping the slipping wheel.
Also in 4-lo the VDC is automatically turned off which is great. So you can power out of say a mud-bog if needed.

BTW...I got a call from my local dealer informing me that they will be getting the new Brake Rotors in pretty soon and they will call me to make an appointment. This was an unprompted call so I am pretty happy with their service so far. I had my brakes serviced after only 1800 miles before I took it to PA.

285-65-18 BF Goodrich TAko Tires, same diameter as the stockers. Tirerack doesn't carry them apparently. I tried Tires direct and found them for 216/each

I'll be waiting for the check engine light and yet another trip to the dealer..
Do the 2nd and 3rd row seats fold flat into the floor?
Do the side mirrors have a power fold-in option?
Thanks.

Even with the braking problems, we still love this vehicle. It's like buying the house of your dreams, moving in and finding out it has a bad foundation! What a shame this beautiful, outstanding vehicle has such a critical problem.
We are experiencing a problem with the steering wheel jerking when we hit a bump at any significant rate of speed. Very strong jerk that gives an "out of control" feeling for an instant. Makes the vehicle ride rough as well. When we first took it in (before the rotor problem began) they told us the front shocks were bad and so they replaced them. It seemed to ride better for a short while but the problem has returned. Took it back in again and they tell us that the shocks are not leaking and they "don't know what the problem is". We have only owned the vehicle for only three and a half months. Does this problem sound familiar to anyone else? Also, can anyone fill us in on current info on a permanent fix on the brakes? One final thought...would it be beneficial for as many as owners as possible to sign a petition and send it to Nissan?

We've put about 27K miles on the Armada in one year and are quite happy with our purchase. Makes a great road vehicle although it's a little awkward around town sometimes. Takes getting used to. - 81 Trekker

Thanks for your help.

My 2004 LE has been covered under warranty for the brake issue by the Dealer in Westboro, MA. Make sure you get in there before 3 yr/ 36 k. I hope they don't give you a hard time about the 32k on the truck. It's not normal wear and tear it's poor engineering. My problems started at 8k, again at 16-17k,now at 25k I'm in line waiting now for the new rotors due mid June.
By the way,How are your tires wearing? My Goodyears are trashed at 25k. Normally I get 60,000+ from my two previous SUV's both Dodge Durango's with Goodyear wranglers.

I have to say the dealer I deal with in Simi Valley, Ca. has been excellent with the service and keeping me up to date on the potential fixes coming ...
Plus I love this suv...
Thanks

Is this a good deal for a year old SUV? :confuse:
