SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, WHEELS
Brought my 2008 Nissan Armada to my dealer for an alignment ahead of a road trip with my family. Was told the vehicle is not safe to drive. The frame was rotted and cracked, and that the rear wheels have shifted. This condition is completely hidden unless on a lift. I have owned this vehicle since new.

SERVICE BRAKES
As I was driving through the canyon at 55 mph I pressed on my brakes to begin to slow down for the construction zone coming up and they felt like air no pressure then there was a grinding sound like something was breaking underneath my vehicle as I let off my brakes the brake light came on and it sounded like a spring releasing under my vehicle. I attempted to use my brakes almost a dozen times attempting to stop with the same grinding and spring sound happening. Once I was finally able to come to a safe stop I turned my vehicle off and once I turned it back on the brake light was off and the pressure was back in my brakes

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I feel that there should be a more visible notification or warning if the headlights are not on at night. While driving at night on the highway a car in front of me rapidly switched lanes to avoid exiting the highway and nearly caused a major high speed accident. He didn’t see us because the headlights weren’t on. All of the dashboard lights come on even though the headlights are off- so it gives you a false sense that the headlights are on. There is a very small green light that comes on when the headlights are on, but there should either be no dashboard lights or a message that warns you about the headlights.

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
The Electrical components went out in the steering wheel. 1st the radio and controls went out and then the horn eventually stopped working, had to pay $300 for the part itself and even the dealership didnt have it I had to order from a specialty shop. Took all day to repair. The airbag light is constantly on but there is nothing wrong with the air bag and has been reset but it stays on. The driver side window wont roll up half the time the electrical component has went out. Sometimes it rolls down by itself. Headlights have water in them and hard to keep out after replacing them. After only having it a few months had to replace the engine bc it kept smoking. Thank goodness for warranties and at 1st they wasnt going to replace it.

AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS OF CONTINUOUS HIGHWAY DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP, PLACED INTO REVERSE, ACCELERATED IN REVERSE FOR APPROXIMATELY 100', AND SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE. AFTER SUBSEQUENTLY COMING TO A STOP, OPERATOR ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AGAIN BUT VEHICLE FAILED TO ENGAGE THE REVERSE GEAR. IN FACT THE VEHICLE WAS ESSENTIALLY IN NEUTRAL DESPITE THE GEAR SHIFTER INDICATING 'R' GEAR. AGAIN, THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD READILY SHIFT TO 'R' BUT IN FACT NO GEAR WAS APPARENTLY ENGAGED AS THE VEHICLE WOULD ROLL DOWNHILL AS IF IT WERE IN NUETRAL.

THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO PROCEED IN DRIVE. NO EXCESSIVE NOISES OR VIBRATIONS WERE EXPERIENCED THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THIS INCIDENT.

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.
