2007 Nissan ARMADA: complaints, problems and recalls

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN JANUARY, 2007. NOTICED A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD ONE DAY IN APRIL WITHOUT A PARTICULAR INCIDENT TO HAVE CAUSED SUCH A CRACK. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT A ROCK HAD CHIPPED THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING THE CRACK. A NEW WINDSHIELD WAS INSTALLED ON 5/2/2007. AFTERWARDS, I HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THREE OTHER 2007 MODEL NISSAN VEHICLES (ARMADA, ALTIMA, TITAN) THAT HAVE SIMILAR WINDSHIELD CRACKS WITHOUT APPARENT CAUSES. *TR

SINCE APPROXIMATELY 34,000 MILES I HAVE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM ON MY 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATES. THE BRAKES BEGIN TO GROAN, ARE SPONGY, HAVE REDUCED BRAKING POWER, AND MAKE A SOUND LIKE A LARGE SPRING BEING RELEASED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES THESE SYMPTOMS UNTIL THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. THE SPEED AT WHICH THE EVENT OCCURS VARIES FROM 5 TO 50MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED AN AVERAGE OF ONCE EVERY 2 TO 3 WEEKS SINCE MAY…

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN ARMADA WHICH IS CURRENTLY ON A RECALL ON THE FUEL GAUGE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS AND HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE MY FUEL GAUGE TWICE WITHIN THE LAST 2 YEARS. JUST RECENTLY, MY ARMADA FUEL GAUGE START ACTING UP AND THE FUEL LEVEL DOES NOT READ PROPERLY. MY QUESTION IS, HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO TRUST NISSAN WITH THE RECALL SINCE THEY HAVE REPLACED MY GAUGE TWICE ALREADY? LUCKILY THEY ARE FALL WITHIN MY WARRANTY OR ELSE I HAVE TO PAY BIG BUCK FOR REPLACEMENT. I JUST DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE EVEN THOUGH THEY…
