The airbag light is staying on. No codes read this problem. If the vehicle is running the airbag dash light remains on. The check engine light is not on.

I have a 2008 Nissan Armada, bought it new and my wife use to tell me that the brakes would grind and the brake light would go on, I use to think she was crazy, now that I drive the car my self I knew she was right, when we step on the brake petal the brakes start grinding and the brake comes on we have 3 children and is pretty scary when we try to stop and completely loose brake power, when my wife first told me I took it to the dealer and they couldn't check for the problem since it had to be doing it when I took it well then it didn't do it often, then I took it one time while it was doing it and the dealer told me that they new exactly what it was but couldn't do anything about it since I was out off warranty. I think is ridiculous that the manufacturer knows exactly what the problem is but they won't do nothing about it since their is no recall, I think NHTSA needs to step in and issue a recall as we know their is a lot of people who have the same problem, I have 3 children and a wife and don't us to be the next victim of an accident. Is not like we paid pennies for this car, hope you guys can do something about it before someone gets hurt or worse loose a love one

Multiple occurrences - while driving, the brakes begin to grind, stutter, and stop working. I had to downshift in order to slow the vehicle, and pull over. The brake light will illuminate as this occurs. After stopping the vehicle, it must be completely turned off for a few moments, and then it will go back to "normal." This has also occurred while exiting the freeway - not safe! airbag light is constantly on. Many of the electrical parts are not working. We thought Nissan would be the best vehicle to buy. But have had nothing but major problems. Please send recall for brakes and airbags

9/22/09 - airbag light staying on - dealer found code B1034 "crash zone unit fail", found short circuit inside crash zone sensor, replaced crash zone sensor, cleared code. 9/29/09 - airbag light on again - dealer found code B1034 again - crash zone sensor failed. Found short circuit in air bag diagnostic unit - removed center console and replaced air bag diagnosis control unit, cleared codes. 10/23/09 - airbag light on again - dealer once again found code B1034 - called Nissan tech support, spoke with someone named mike. Was advised to replace both the engine harness and the main harness, removed steering wheel and steering shaft, removed center console, removed glove box, removed dash, and removed crossbar, installed new main harness, installed new engine harness, performed front end alignment because steering wheel and column were removed. Found open circuit in wire of the main harness, cleared code. Not sure if related but at the same time the sunroof switches starting working backwards and not opening automatically so reinitialized sunroof. 1/23/10 - airbag light on again - replaced bulb Sept 2014 - airbag light on again - dealer found code B1034 again!!! short in crash zone sensor - replaced sensor - cost $487.72 at what point does Nissan accept responsibility for the defect"?? in addition to above, have had issues with the battery not lasting more than 2.5 years. I just replaced it for the 3rd or 4th time in 2012 and am told that it is drained and I need another one?? related? I think so. Brakes - I've seen numerous complaints about people pressing down the brakes and having them not work and they make a grinding sound and vibrate. I've experienced this twice but the dealer says they can't find anything wrong?"

Armada 8-cyl

I just bought a used 2008 Nissan Armada le (48000miles) with tow package and hooked up to my small enclosed trailer (1800 gwr). I went into my house for less than 5 minutes and when I returned to the truck I saw it was completely bottomed out in the rear. I started the truck and the compressor came on and auto leveled out, but within 15 minutes of driving it was completely flat and caused severe handling issues. This is very dangerous and could lead to an accident. After doing some research online I saw that this is extremely common and Nissan has a service bulletin out but will not recall there faulty air lines that run from the compressor to the rear air bags. People all over have been shocked at Nissan's failure to address the problem and not finding a permanent fix. I have seen people with brand new models claim the have had the whole system replaced multiple times and the leak still re-occurs leading to the air bag failure. This is what the lemon laws were written for so I hope someone pursued it. I hope writing this helps all owners get this problem resolved and I urge anyone that owns a Nissan Armada to look and listen for the compressor running. It's not too obvious of a problem until you attempt to tow but you will see the rear sagging and the compressor turning on frequently. For more info research it here www.clubarmada.com/forums/show thread.php?T=12815 and the technical service bulletin for Nissan is ntb10142.
