FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED. THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK ONCE IT GETS DOWN TO 1/4 OF THE TANK LEFT. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A CITY STREET WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR JUST TURNED OFF. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY STEER OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON BECAUSE MY FUEL GAUGE SAID I STILL HAD 1/4 TANK LEFT OF GAS. THIS COULD'VE BEEN FAR MORE DANGEROUS IF I WOULD'VE RUN OUT OF GAS ON A FREEWAY OR HIGHWAY. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL FOR THE FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY, BUT WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID MY VIN DIDN'T MATCH THE RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2019 NISSAN WAS PURCHASED AUG 2020 FROM VALLEJO NISSAN(CA). OCTOBER 20' THE ARMADA WOULDN'T START, I TOOK IT TO THE TRACY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AS I HAVE THE NISSAN PLUS EXTENDED WARRANTY. TECH SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY WHICH WAS NOT COVERED. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY WITH MAX CRANKING AMPS. JAN 28, 2021 I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AS IT FAILED TO START AGAIN(#2). NISSAN TECH SAID THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL CABLE WAS LOOSE. FEB 3, 2021 I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO TRACY NISSAN AS IT FAILED TO START (#3). NISSAN TECH REPLACED THE STOP LAMP SWITCH WHICH HE STATED WAS THE REASON WHY THE ARMADA WOULDN'T START. FEB 20TH, ARMADA AGAIN WOULD NOT START (#4). TOOK IT TO DEALER FEB 22ND AND WAS TOLD A FEW DAYS LATER(FEB 27TH) THAT A NISSAN REGIONAL TECHNICIAN WAS CONTACTED AND THEY HAD TO UPDATE THE "RAPID CHARGE" SYSTEM IN THE ARMADA AND THEY WERE "PRETTY SURE" THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPAIRED. MY WIFE ARRIVED AT NISSAN ON FEB 27TH AND ARMADA AGAIN, WOULD NOT START(#5). THIS WAS WHILE IT WAS STILL IN THE NISSAN DEALER LOT. MARCH 1ST I WAS CONTACTED BY NISSAN TECH WHO STATED MY BATTERY HAS LOW CRANKING AMPS DUE TO THE UPDATE THEY HAD TO DO TO THE RAPID CHARGE SYSTEM AND ASKED ME TO REPLACE THE BATTERY...AGAIN! FOUR OF THE FIVE TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE FIFTH TIME IT WAS PARKED AT THE DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE WILL START HAVING ERRATIC RPMS, HESITATION TO ACCELERATE, ENGINE RPMS WILL NOT GO ABOVE 2000-2500 OR BELOW 1000-300 WITHOUT SEVERE HESITATION, THEN SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING NO MATTER IF STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TOTAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL HAPPENS... NO BRAKES, POWER STEERING, NO ACCELERATION. EVERY LIGHT TURNS ON ON DASH AND IF YOUR DRIVING AT THE TIME YOU BETTER HOPE THAT YOU CAN QUICKLY THROW IT IN NEUTRAL, CRANK THE ENGINE AT LEAST 2-4 TIMES BEFORE IT'LL START UP, THEN KICK IT BACK IN DRIVE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN SO YOU CAN PULL OVER SOMEWHERE SAFE BEFORE YOU GET INTO A SERIOUS WRECK. TAKING IT TO NISSAN WAS POINTLESS SINCE AFTER YOU GET THE ARMADA RESTARTED, IT DOESN'T RETAIN ANY CODES THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN USE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM NOR CAN THE MECHANIC REPLICATE THE ISSUE ON TEST DRIVES. AT WHICH POINT I LOOK LIKE I'M THE CRAZY ONE, THEN THEY SEND ME OFF ON MY WAY WITH NO ANSWERS. THE ONLY OTHER PROBLEM THAT THE ARMADA HAD LONG BEFORE THIS PROBLEM, DURING IT, AND CURRENTLY IS A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHICH, TOO, IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT PLAGUES OTHER ARMADAS WHICH NISSAN REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS HARD TO SUPPORT WITH PICS OR DOCUMENTS SINCE IT ALMOST ALWAYS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION SO YOU'RE TOO OCCUPIED TRYING NOT TO KILL YOURSELF OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD AND WHEN YOU DO GO TO NISSAN THERE NO CODES TO PULL SINCE I GUESS THE VEHICLE ERASES IT AFTER THE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. FEELS LIKE I'M CHASING MY TAIL...

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING
SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE WILL NOT CRANK AND WILL NOT START. CAN TAKE UP TO 10 MINUTES SOMETIMES BEFORE VEHICLE WILL START, LEAVING DRIVER STRANDED. TWICE NOW THE BCI MALFUNCTION (BACKUP COLLISION INTERVENTION) ERROR CAME UP ON THE DASH ALONG WITH OTHER LIGHTS IMMEDIATLY AFTER ENGINE STARTUP. FIRST TIME AT 23,027 MILES, AND NOW RECENTLY AT 32,081 MILES. THE FIRST TIME, DEALERSHIP SAID THEY "COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM." THIS RECENT TIME, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPLACE A STOP LAMP SWITCH (NTB20-065). WE'LL SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY FIXED. THIS SHOULD REALLY BE A RECALL CONSIDERING THE SHEAR NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. PLUS THE BRAKE LAMPS MAY NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY, ELEVATING THE RISK OF A COLLISION IF OTHER DRIVERS AREN'T AWARE THE VEHICLE IS SLOWING DOWN.

THE PAINT ON MY HOOD AND ROOF HAS DISCOLORED. IT LOOKS LIKE THE CLEAR COAT WAS DEFECTIVE. I'VE NOTICED IT ON MANY OTHER NISSAN ARMADAS AND NISSAN TITAN PICK UP TRUCKS. IS THERE A PATTERN ON LOUSY PAINT COATINGS?

SERVICE BRAKES
TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH NEAR MY OFFRAMP WHEN BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND IT DOESN'T GET DRIVEN ON A REGULAR BASIS AS IT IS OUR 3RD VEHICLE. AS I APPROACHED THE RAMP WITH BRAKES EVEN LIGHTLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKES CHATTERED AND FELT WEEK. HAD TO STOP ON THE RAMP, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART SO I COULD CONTINUE. AT LEAST THIS TIME I KNEW WHAT TO DO TO MAKE GO AWAY AT LEAST TEMPORARILY. WE HAVE TO ALWAYS MAKE SURE WE HAVE PLENTY OF EXTRA SPACE IN FRONT OF US SO WE TIME TO REACT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I JUST HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. ALSO HAD AN INCIDENT WHILE TOWING A SMALL UTILITY TRAILER EARLY IN 2020 WHEN IT HAPPENED AND IT WAS MUCH MORE EXTREME AND I WAS AFRAID I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP IT AT THE UPCOMING STOP SIGN. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS AND FIX IT AT THEIR COST. IF IT CAN BE REST BY JUST TURNING THE KEY OFF SOMEONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE THIS OUT. MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE FORUMS I HAVE RED THAT THE DEALERS JUST TAKE YOUR MONEY TO REPLACE PARTS THAT DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS EVEN ON WHO SAID THEY REPLACED ALMOST ALL BRAKE RELATED PARTS AND IT STILL DID IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I SAW THE RECALL ON THE PATHFINDERS TODAY AND I HAVE A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH MY 2017 ARMADA. SOMETHING KEEPS CAUSING MY BATTERY TO DRAIN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO SHOP TO BE INSPECTED, THE BATTERY IS OKAY, THE ALTERNATOR OKAY, AND THE STARTER OKAY. I CUT EVERY FEATURE OFF IN MY CAR BUT SOMETHING IS ELECTRICALLY DRAINING THE BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BCM NOT TOO LONG AGO BC IT KEPT FAILING. HAVE YOU GUYS HAD ANY REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING WITH OTHER PEOPLE? I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL YOUTUBE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUES AND I HAVE READ ARTICLES AS WELL. SOMETHING INTERNALLY IS PULLING AMPS WHEN IT SHOULDN'T BE. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN SUSPENSION ISSUES. CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE ISSUE MAY BE? THIS HAPPENED WHERE IT WOULDN'T CRANK A FEW TIMES PRIOR TO THIS DAY THEN I WOULD GET IT TO CRANK..NOW IT IS ALMOST EVERYTIME HAVING TO JUMP IT.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING INCORRECTLY AT LOW RPMS. I CAN CLEARLY SEE THE RPM FLUCTUATING ESPECIALLY GOING UPHILL. THIS HAPPENS 30-50 MPH.LACK OF POWER/ACCELERATION. FEELS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING IN LOWER GEARS TOO SOONER AND AND WON'T ACCELERATE UNTIL DRIVER PUSHES SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY MAKING TURNS AT STOP LIGHTS.

ON JANUARY 4TH, 2020 WHEN WE WENT TO START THE CAR, ALL THE LIGHTS FLICKERED AND THE SEATS RATTLED FROM ELECTRICAL PULSES. THE CAR DID NOT START AT ALL. WE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 20+ TIMES. SOMETIMES WHEN WE JUMP THE CAR, IT WILL START. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE BATTERY 4 TIMES. IT IS CLEARLY NOT THE BATTERY. NISSAN NEVER HAS AN ANSWER.
