The 2007NISSANARMADA carries 103 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2007 ARMADA is service brakes with 41 filings, followed by fuel system, gasoline (5) and service brakes, hydraulic (4). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 3 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 54 investigation files overlapping the 2007 ARMADA, and 5 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

On a continuing basis, while vehicle is in motion, applying the brakes causes brake pedal to sink to the floorboard with loss of braking power and with loud grinding noise coming from front of vehicle. Turning vehicle off then back on temporarily fixes the issue.

I was driving in traffic and my breaks went out and I almost got in a collision. The breaks at first didn't work and then were bouncing and grinding to stop and the break warning light came on. I swerved and barely missed another car. I pulled over in a parking lot there was a burning smell and let it sit for 4hr. I took it to get the breaks fixed an they couldn't find any issues with the breaking system except for the Delta Stroke Sensor Failure. I understand this has a been an ongoing issue with cars. One situation killed 3 people and Nissan lost a $25M lawsuit on this. I can't understand why this wouldn't be on a recall as issues with the breaking system is life threatening. My car is now at Nissan getting fixed, has been there for 2 weeks, they still can't figure out the issue with the Delta Sensor breaking system. This is very serious and no matter what age of the car, should be covered under a recall. You can find hundreds of articles online to understand how many cars are aff

AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY BEGAN FLASHING. CODE PULLED AS B1035 CRASH ZONE SENSOR. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT. UPON RESEARCHING VEHICLE AND CODE IT SHOWS THE SAME YEAR AND MAKES OF VEHICLES HAVING EXACT SYMPTOMS AS WELL AS CODE OF B1035. EVEN ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE REGARDING THIS RECALL- IT DOES SHOW A PICTURE ON THE PDF FILE OF A NISSAN ARMADA IMAGE SHOWING INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO INSTALL THE RECALLED SENSOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED IMMEDIATELY AND MAKE CORRECTIONS WITH ADDING THE ARMADA BEING PART OF THE RECALL. IT HAS SAME EXACT SENSOR PART AND I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HELD ON THE VEHICLE OWNERS PART AS CLEARLY IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART. THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL CALLS I WILL MAKE IF NEEDED TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE IF THIS DOES NOT GET RESOLVED IN A PROMPT MANNER AND IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND DOES NOT DEPLOY AIRBAGS BECAUSE OF RECALLED PART THAT WAS NOT APPROPRIATELY ADDED TO A NHSTA LIST, THERE WILL BE LEGAL ADVICE SOUGHT REGARDING LIABILITY AND INJU

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND I WILL NOTICE THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ON. THEN I WILL HEAR LIKE A GRINDING SOUND. AS IF IM DRIVING WITH EMERGENCY BRAKES ON. THE PARKING BRAKES ENGAGE WHILE IM DRIVING. WE TOOK CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR SERVICING BUT THEY COULD NOT DETECT ANY PROBLEM. THERE IS CERTAINLY A PROBLEM WITH BRAKING SYSTEM. I AM AFRAID THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 7 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. WE JUST GOT NEW BRAKES ON OCT. 5 2019. THIS PROBLEM A FEW YEARS AGO AND IT WILL HAPPEN A FEW TIMES A YEAR BUT LATELY ITS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. IT STARYED BACK ON OR ABOUT OCT.1, 2019.

BRAKE LIGHT ON MY DASH WILL COME ON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HIT THE BRAKE AND A VIOLENT JERKING AND GRINDING SOUND ON THE BRAKE.
