Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING: LAMP filed October 25, 2005

NHTSA complaint #560112 (ODI reference 10140800) concerns a 2004 NISSAN ARMADA and was filed on October 25, 2005. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 29, 2005. The vehicle had 25,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Nevada based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:brake fluid low warning: lamp, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN ARMADA cohort independently describe similar service brakes, hydraulic:brake fluid low warning: lamp failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2004 NISSAN ARMADA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR (2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER ARMADA) IN DECEMBER 2003 I AM EXPERIENCING SOME BRAKE PROBLEMS AND THE DEALER HAS BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. THE CAR HAD ONLY ABOUT 3000 MILES WHEN IT ALL STARTED. I COOPERATED WITH THE DEALER BECAUSE HE SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN'S ENGINEERS ARE WORKING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND NOW I CANNOT INVOKE THE LEMON LAW BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR, AT LEAST THIS IS WHAT A LAWYER TOLD ME TODAY. ANYWAY, THE CAR STARTED TO BRAKE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANYONE APPLYING THE BRAKES AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS COMES ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE MASTER CYNLINDER. THEY REPLACED IT AFTER 2 WEEKS AND WHILE MY WIFE WAS TAKING THE CAR HOME, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED AGAIN. THIS TIME THE DEALER IS BLAMING THE PROBLEM ON THE BRAKE BOOSTERS. THEY WILL NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE BEFORE 3 TO 6 WEEKS. THE MAJOR INCIDENT OCCURED ON SEPTE
