OUR 2008 NISSAN ARMADA LE CENTER OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE WHILE PARKED. I CAME AND LOOKED TO SEE IT BROKE IN HALF LYING IN THE SEATS, WIRES HANGING. IF YOU LOOK, YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF THESE CONSOLES FALLING OUT OF THE ROOF. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE PART. THERE HAS TO BE A DEFECT WITH THE WEIGHT OF THIS PART AND THE SCREWS THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD THIS UP. THE PLASTIC CRUMBLED UP AROUND THE SCREWS. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE FAULTY PART!!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS SUDDENLY STOP WORKING. THEY WERE WORKING TODAY DURING THE DAYTIME AND I HAD THEM ON. AS IT GOT DARK THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON. I TURNED THE LIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE ON. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN BUT DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. THE HIGH BEAMS WORKED SO I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THOSE ON (EXCEPT EVERYONE KEPT FLASHING ME ON THE WAY HOME). I STOPPED AT AUTOZONE TO GET A NEW FUSE AND RELAY FUSE. THAT DID NOT WORK. WHEN I GOT HOME I PULLED ALL THE FUSES AND THEN PUT THEM BACK IN. CAR SAID NO KEY FOB BUT I DID HAVE IT. I LOCKED AND UNLOCKED THE CAR WITH THE KEY FOB THEN TURNED ON THE CAR AND THE LIGHTS STARTED WORKING AGAIN. DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY DURING THE DAYLIGHT (WHICH WAS TODAY) WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON TO MAKE SURE THEY WORK. ONCE IT GOT DARK THE LIGHTS WERE NOT ON AND I WENT THROUGH THE ABOVE PROCEDURE AT HOME TO GET THE LIGHTS WORKING AGAIN (E.G., PULL ALL THE FUSES AT ONCE THEN PUT BACK IN THEN GO THROUGH THE KEY FOB ISSUES AGAIN THEN THE LIGHTS WORK AGAIN).

POWER TRAIN
THE NEW ARMADA FOR 2017 HAS A COLD WEATHER PROBLEM IN ITS TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM IS IT DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY. MY DEALER SAYS THAT'S THE WAY IT SUPPOSED TO WORK TO WARM THE FLUID. BUT IN THE 40 YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING COLD WEATHER HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM FOR TRANSMISSIONS. IT STAYS IN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS WAY TO LONG . ANYWAY THAT'S MY PROBLEM AND THERE SHOULD BE A SOLUTION, MAYBE A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION FLUID OR A DIFFERENT CODE TO SHIFT MORE QUICKLY. AN UPDATES NEEDED. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME YOU START FROM A STOP UNTIL THE CAR WARMS, ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING. NISSAN MILEAGE COULD GO UP AN ADDITIONAL 2 MILES PER GALLON MORE IF IT DIDN'T HAVE SUCH HIGH REVS DURING THIS WARM UP PERIOD.

I WON A NISSAN ARMADA 2010 AND IN 2017. DRIVING TO WORK IN THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED A RATLLING SOUND COMING FROM THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE: THE PLASTIC LATCHES ARE BRAKING. IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THE CONSOLE FAILLED DOWN IN THE BACK SEAT BUT WAS STIL HANGING UP BY THE WIRINGS. I BROUGTH MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I DO MY OIL CHANGE REGULARY FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, THEY ASK ME $1000.00 FOR DIAGNOSTIC OF THE PROBLEM AND WITHOUT IT, THEY CAN NOT DO THE REPAIR. I DID NOT WANT TO SPEND $1000.00 FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND GET STUCKED WITH THE REPAIR BILLS AFTERWARD. I THINGH THEY WERE DISHONEST AND THE ISSUE MUST INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL MUST BE ISSUED. I HAVE PROBLEM OPENING THE REAR LIFTGATE OR THE GLASS HATCH. SOME ANSWER.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PLASTIC MOULD PANEL HOLDING THE AC OUTLETS, LIGHTS AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND RADIO VOLUME ON THE 2ND ROW AND 3RD ROW SEATS FELL OFF. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS SITTING BEHIND OTHERWISE THEY WILL GET HURT AND PROBABLY WILL CAUSE INJURY. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER PASSING THE SPEED REDUCING HUMP IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD . I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME WITHOUT WARNING AND SINCE THIS PART REQUIRES NO MAINTENANCE YOU CAN NEVER TELL WHEN THEY WILL FALL/DISLODGE FROM THEIR LOCATION.

I BOUGHT MY VEH ON 2/7/18 AFTER PURCHASING AND GETTING HOME SEVERAL DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HWY THE LIFT TAIL GATE STARTED TO OPEN AND MY DASHBOARD STARTED TO DING BUT THERE WHERE NO WARNING LIGHTS. I HAD TO PULL OFF HWY REALLY QUICKLY TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. THEN AGAIN ON 2/20/18 THE LIFT GATE DID THIS AGAIN 2 TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID BEFORE THE SECOND INCIDENT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS HAS SCARED ME BOTH TIMES OF HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. I HAVE TURNED THIS INTO NISSAN TWICE AND HAVE STILL NOT HEARD FROM ANYONE WHEN IT WAS TURNED IN ON 2/14/18. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP CHECK THE VEH ON 2/13/18 AND THEY FOUND A DEFECT IN THE BAR THAT OPERATES THIS LIFT AND ALSO A SENSOR ISSUE THAT CONTROLS THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTION AND ALSO A DEFECT IN THE MOTOR ON THE VEH. THEY SAID AFTER THE FIRST TIME THAT THE VEH WAS SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT IT HAPPENING AGAIN AND THEY WERE WRONG AS IT HAD HAPPENED 2 TIMES AFTER THAT. NEITHER TIME WAS ANY BUTTON PRESSED TO OPEN THE LIFT GATE THE VEH WAS MOVING ON THE ROAD.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN A GRINDING/SPRINGY SOUND CAME OUT FROM UNDER AND THE :BRAKE" LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WOULD GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT WOULD NOT STOP, LUCKILY I WAS ON A FLAT ROAD SO IT DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A SAFE SPOT AND USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKES TO GET THERE. IF I WERE GOING AT A HIGH SPEED, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. YOU CAN REPLACE A CAR, BUT YOU CAN'T REPLACE A PERSON. I HAVE AN 8 MONTH OLD BABY WHO NEEDS ME. MY BROTHER IN LAW IS A MECHANIC FOR ALL TYPES OF CARS AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS, HE TOLD ME THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ARMADAS (04-07). MINE IS AN 06. AT THIS POINT I HAVE TO KEEP TURNING OFF MY CAR AND BACK ON TO RESTART SOME COMPUTER? I AM NOT GOOD WITH CARS. IF THIS HAPPENS AT A HIGH SPEED AND I CAN'T STOP BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE IT IS ON YOUR HANDS.YOU KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, YET DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS ARMADA IS A DEATHTRAP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY BROTHER IN LAW SUSPECTS IT IS THE ABS,VDC,BRAKE MALFUNCTION. I WAS SPEAKING TO SOMEONE ELSE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THEY SAID THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON THEIR, AND ONCE WHEN A LIGHT TURN RED AND HE TRIED TO STOP HE COULDN'T AND ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE?
