Owner report 11460565 · 2022-04-12 (April 12, 2022)

While driving car on highway the rear felt like it was going one way while I was steering another. Took to dealer that just replaced rear suspension on 2/23/22. They saw that the rear tires were worn on the inside to the point of exposed wires. The tires checked out fine on 2/23/22 which indicates an issue on their end. They could not get the rear to align, tried to sell me rear tires (which weren't bad before they worked on the rear suspension).

ON OR ABOUT 1/14/2015 I PULLED INTO MY MOTHER'S DRIVEWAY TO DROP OFF MY CHILD FOR DAYCARE. I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK, APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BECAUSE THE DRIVEWAY SITS UP HIGH, AND TURNED OFF THE ARMADA.

BCI Malfunction - caused brakes to seize up while driving. The first time I received this warning, in August 2022, it only caused my car not to start. After multiple attempts to start the vehicle, I finally was able to get it started and I scheduled repair at Nissan. When I took it in for repair, the Service Advisor said since the warning light was not actively illuminating, they were not able to pull codes and therefore not able to diagnose or repair. They sent me on my way and instructed me to return when the warning was displayed again. …

I was driving a RENTED 2021 Nissan Armada. The brakes of this vehicle locked up when I was trying to avoid rear ending a car that had suddenly jumped in front of me. Instead of being able to control the braking, once I put the brake on, I tried to let up a little to see if I could stop the vehicle from skidding. However once I put my foot down on the brake it continued to stay depressed. I noticed that the vehicle was sliding and the steering wheel was also locked. I couldn't swerve to the left or right. I hit the van in front of me, the air b…

The vehicle began rolling forward even though it was in Park and bumped into the house. (Minimal damage thankfully) When I tried to stop it, the brake pedal went completely to the floor with no braking power at all. The shifter was locked in PARK, and I could not put it into Reverse or Neutral. I had to …

The passenger airbag seat sensor is defective. It has disabled the passenger airbag, and will not reactivate even with a passenger in the seat. The cost to repair the sensor is $5670. Just the sensor. The airbag has never deployed. We requested that Nissan cover the repair or at least the part, as the airbag is obviously critical safety equipment, but they have refused.

I was driving a RENTED 2021 Nissan Armada. The brakes of this vehicle locked up when I was trying to avoid rear ending a car that had suddenly jumped in front of me. Instead of being able to control the braking, once I put the brake on, I tried to let up a little to see if I could stop the vehicle from skidding. However once I put my foot down on the brake it continued to stay depressed. I noticed that the vehicle was sliding and the steering wheel was also locked. I couldn't swerve to the left or right.

On the morning of Saturday, January 31st, we went to get in the vehicle and saw that the back hatch window had begun to shatter. It did not appear to be caused by vandalism or that it had been hit by any objects. Therefore, I did not report it to the police. I did report to my insurance. I took it to a Safelite AutoGlass repair shop and they agreed that it was a very unusual break. The glass did continue to break and came out completely.

While driving on the highway in Caguas, Puerto Rico, suddenly the sunroof glass explote it into pieces, falling inside the car. I did not pass under a bridge, there were no other cars around, simply exploted! Please do something about this defect according to online sources! Just don’t wait on thousands of complaints to do something since many people don’t know they could and they just rather paid and repair!

My 2019 Nissan Armada has been showing a BCI Malfuntion warning light for the past year and a half on and off. Sometimes it puts the truck in limp mode, it won't start, or the brakes engage and the truck will not move while in drive. This has happened well over 30 times in the last year and a half. Typically, turning the truck off and on solves the issue, but there have been instances where I needed to unhook the battery. I read there was a recall on the 2017-2019 models for this issue. However, when I looked up the VIN on this site, it says m…

My 2019 Nissan suddenly lost braking ability while driving. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor, and the front passenger-side wheel was covered in brake fluid. A mechanic found a cut in the brake hose, which likely caused the fluid leak and brake failure. Cause: UNKNOWN. It may have been mechanical failure, wear, or external damage. Further investigation is needed to determine the exact cause.

This vehicle has less than 24k miles, and just surpassed the warranty period and suddenly with no explanation, it won't start due to a faulty start switch in the brake pedal which must be depressed to start the vehicle or shift into drive. 90% of the time the vehicle will not start. Only after spending 10-20 fidgeting with the break pedal while simultaneously pushing the start button and moving the gear knob will the vehicle start if you are lucky.

I took the Armada back to Nissan and paid $99 for a diagnostic test, and they quoted $725 to reset and reprogram the vehicle’s systems , just to…
