Component: VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
Summary:
2004 NISSAN ARMADA: SUBJECT:AUTOMATIC WINDOWS. BROUGHT TO THE MARKET YEARS AGO,
THEY HAVE UNTIL NOW WORKED IN AUTOMATIC MODE FOR THE "ROLL DOWN" OF WINDOWS
(MAINLY DRIVERS WINDOW). THE NEW ARMADA ALLOWS FOR "ROLL-UP" OF WINDOWS IN THE
AUTOMATIC MODE ALSO. AS I WORK IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY I CAN RECALL THIS OPTION
COMING TO MARKET AND DISCUSSING THE DANGERS TO SMALL CHILDREN WHO WOULD
ACCIDENTALLY ROLL UP A WINDOW ON LIMBS AND NECK. IT SHOULD BE SELF EVIDENT.
NISSAN NEEDS TO DISCONTINUE IF NOT RECALL. THERE CAN ONLY BE INJURIES, DEATH AND
LAWSUITS GAINED FROM THIS VEHICLE OPTION. *JB

Summary:
FLUTTERING WIND NOISE WHEN DRIVING. THE NOISE STARTS OUT AT 40 MPH AND GRADUALLY
INCREASES TO A HIGHER DECIBEL RANGE WHEN SPEEDING UP TO 70 MPH. ALL THE WINDOWS
ARE WIND UP BUT THIS STRANGE WIND NOISE CANNOT BE LOCATED. THE NOISE IS FLAPPING
SO LOUD AT 70 MPH THAT IT HURTS MY FAMILY'S EARS. DEALER STATED IT'S AN
ENGINEERING ISSUE AND IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. I'VE CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUT
THEY'RE SAYING THERE' S NO OTHER REPORT BESIDE MYSELF SO THEY'RE NOT TAKING
ACTION. I NEED HELP AT THIS POINT- WHERE DO I GO OR WHAT DO I DO??? *JB

Summary:
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA. WHILE CLEANING OUT MY VEHICLE I NOTICED
THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT ANCHOR BOLT WAS STICKING OUT ABOUT A INCH BEYOND
WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO.. UPON CLOSER OBSERVATION I NOTICED THAT THE BOLT HAD
BEEN DRIVEN IN CROSS-THREADED THEN BACKED OUT AND LEFT THAT WAY. THIS IS AN
OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANY VEHICLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND WANTED TO FILE A
COMPLAINT SO YOU COULD BEGIN TRACKING THIS, IN CASE THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE.
I AM ALSO CURIOUS IF WHEN REPAIRED AT THE DEALER LEVEL, WILL THE FRAME AREA
SURROUNDING WHERE THIS BOLT SECURES INTO EVER BE AS STRONG AS IS SHOULD?
THANKS.*AK

Summary:
COMPLAINT CONCERNS 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. MY VEHICLE MAKES AN UNBEARABLE FLUTTERING
NOISE (LIKE A HELICOPTER SOUND) AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH +; THE SOUND IS SO LOUD IT
HURTS OUR EARS, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF OUR THREE YOUNG CHILDREN. ALSO, THERE ARE
MAJOR AIR LEAKS FROM THE FRONT DASH AND SIDE DOORS WHICH THE DEALER HAS
ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR BUT HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD NOW FOR OVER
TWO MONTHS THAT THE WEATHERSTRIPPING NEEDED HAS BEEN ON "BACK ORDER!" MY VEHICLE
HAS ALSO DEVELOPED AN UNUSUAL ENGINE NOICE (LIKE SOMETHING LOOSE IN THE ENGINE
COMPARTMENT) AFTER APPROXIMATELY FOUR WEEKS OF USE AND DEALER, WHILE
ACKNOWLEDGING "ISSUE" CANNOT LOCATE SOURCE OF "ISSUE." THE NOISE PROBLEM IS SO
BAD THAT WE CANNOT USE THE VEHICLE FOR HIGHWAY USE! *AK

Summary:
IN THE FIRST COUPLE DAYS OF BUYING OUR NEW NISSAN ARMADA TO OUR SURPRISE THERE
WAS A TEAR IN THE ARM AS WELL AS A WHITE STREAK ON THE CAPTAINS CHAIR JUST
BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT. AFTER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW IT HAPPENED WE SAW THAT
THE ARM HAD HIT THE CENTER CONSOLE, CAUSING THE TEAR AND STREAK. SHOULDN'T THE
ARM AUTOMATICALLY GO UP WHEN THE CHAIR IS RELEASED OR MAYBE THE CENTER CONSOLE A
BIT THINNER SO AS NOT TO TEAR A RIP IN THE ARMS OF THE CHAIRS? I CALLED NISSAN
AND WAS TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OURSELVES TO HAVE THE ARM REPLACED. CALLED THE
DEALER AND JUST THIS WEEK (2 MONTHS LATER) THEY HAVE THE PART IN. NOT SURE IF
THE DEALER IS GOING TO CHARGE ME OR NOT. I WILL FIGHT IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A
DEFECT IN THE WAY THE CHAIR AND CONSOLE ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER.*AK

THE ACCELLERATOR PEDAL. IT TAKES AN EXTRA FRACTION OF A SECOND TO MOVE MY FOOT
TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND I FEEL THIS IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER
SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WILL NOT MOVE THE WIRES. I HAVE ALSO CALLED THE
MANUFACTURER'S SERVICE NUMBER AND THEY WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANY CHANGES. I JUST
WANT TO MAKE A NOTE THAT MY SHOE SIZE IS NOT PARTICULARLY LARGE (SIZE 10), AND
THAT I DRIVE WITH THE HEEL OF MY FOOT ON THE FLOOR (I DON'T LIFT MY FOOT UP TO
HIT THE WIRING HARNESS).*AK

OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND WHIPLASH TO ME. ALSO A POLICE OFFICER SAW THE ACCIDENT
AND HE EVEN SAID HE SAW HOW FAR AWAY I WAS AND DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I DID NOT
STOP. I AM A PARALLEL AND I HAVE ALREADY FOUND THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE
