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

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. UPON EXITING MY MOTHER'S HOUSE I OBSERVED MY VEHICLE ROLLING OFF THE DRIVEWAY ON IT'S OWN. IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL IT HIT THE CURB ACROSS THE STREET. THIS COULD HAVE LEAD TO A CRASH OR WORSE IF I HAD BEEN UNLOADING MY CHILD FROM HIS CARSEAT WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IF ONE OF MY OTHER CHILDREN WAS…

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…

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.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
