ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE ENGINE LOSES POWER SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON). WITH THE LOSS OF POWER, VEHICLE LOSES SPEED AND ACCELERATION. THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. IN ALL CASES THE LOSS OF POWER HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, THREE OF THE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY (I-10). THE SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED CREATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR ME, MY PASSENGERS AND ANY DRIVERS AROUND ME. IN ALL CASES I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, MOSSY NISSAN IN HOUSTON (MN). THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS PROBLEM I STOPPED AT A SHOP CLOSE-BY AND THE MECHANIC AT THE SHOP RESET THE ENGINE AND FIXED THE ENGINE MOMENTARILY. DETAILS OF EACH VISIT ARE: EVENT #1: 05/14/19 - A MECHANIC AT A SHOP NEAR TO WHERE THE PROBLEM HAPPENED CONNECTED A HAND-HELD DEVICE TO MY VEHICLE.THE DEVICE ISSUED A CODE. THE EASY FIX WAS TO RESET THE ENGINE, WHICH I AGREED-TO DO SINCE THE CAR WAS UNDRIVEABLE. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MN SERVICE. I DETAILED THE PROBLEM AND THE CODE GIVEN BY THE HAND-HELD DEVICE. MN WAS NOT ABLE TO ADDRESS AND FIX THE ISSUE. MN SUGGESTED THAT IF THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO MN WITHOUT RESETTING SO THAT THEY COULD DIAGNOSE. EVENT #2: 06/12/19 - SAME PROBLEM AGAIN (LOSS OF POWER, SPEED AND ACCELERATION). I DROVE THE CAR TO MN. PER MN, THE PROBLEM WAS A HARNESS THAT WAS REPLACED, AND THIS TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. EVENT #3: 08/12/19 - SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I DROVE THE CAR TO MN. PER MN, THE PROBLEM THIS TIME WAS THE ECM COMPUTER THAT WAS REPLACED, AND THIS TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. EVENT #4: 12/2/19 - SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I DROVE THE CAR TO MN. PER MN, THE PROBLEM THIS TIME WAS A MOTOR RELAY THAT WAS REPLACED, AND THIS TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS AN UNRELIABLE CAR AND EVEN DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES IS STRESSFUL AS I AM AFRAID OF THIS RECURRING PROBLEM HAPPENING AGAIN. THANK YOU

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS UP AND WHEN STEPPING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE VEHICLE DOES NOT BRAKE, INSTEAD IS FEELS LIKE IT'S SKIDDING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO SLOWLY TRY TO PULL OVER AND COME TO A STOP TO THEN TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. WHEN I RESTART THE VEHICLE IS IT USUALLY STARTS PERFORMING NORMALLY AGAIN AND THE BRAKES WORK FINE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME DUE TO THE FACT THAT I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. WHAT IF IT HAPPENS WHILE I NEED TO COME TO A QUICK EMERGENCY STOP?! THANKFULLY I AM A SAFE DRIVER AND ALWAYS DRIVE WITHIN THE SPEED LIMITS WHICH HELPS ME BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP QUICKER.

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING IN TRAFFIC CAUSES BRAKES TO LOCK AS IF THE PARKING BRAKES WERE SET. I HAVE TO PULL OVER SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, PRESS ON THE PARKING FOOT BRAKE TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE THE BRAKES, TURN OFF AND ON THE VEHICLE TO "RESET" THE BRAKES. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY. IN ALL MULTIPLE OCCASIONS NEARLY REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE MY FAMILY WITH ME IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, ON THE DASH. HAPPENS ON BOTH THE FREEWAY AND THE CITY STREETS IN MOTION AND ONCE WHEN THE BRAKES WAS PRESS IN TRAFFIC.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WENT OUT TO MY VEHICLE WHICH UNLOCKED WITH MY POD I WENT TO START IT AND ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I JUMPED THE BATTERY AND IT STARTED INSTANTLY SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTO STORE TO CHECK THE BATTERY WHICH THEY STATED WAS A GREAT BATTERY WITH A HIGH CHARGE. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THEIR ARMADA STARTING AT TIMES AND HAVE TO DO MANY THINGS TO GET IT TO START. I HAVE ALSO HEARD AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE THAT OTHERS AROUND ME ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS WELL. I NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL START WHEN I GET IN WHICH IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. THIS OCCURED AS THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
I DRIVE A 2017 NISSAN ARMADA THAT CAUGHT FIRE!!! WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE MARCH OF THIS YEAR. MY HEATED SEAT MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUGHT MY PANTS AND MY SEAT ON FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH TWO-2- SMALL CHILDREN!!! TUESDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 12TH, 2019 I WAS DRIVING MY 7 YEAR OLD TO SCHOOL WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD WITH US WHEN I STARTED TO FEEL A PAIN IN MY LEFT LEG. I LIFTED MY LEG WHICH THEN I SAW SMOKE AND COULD SMELL SOMETHING WAS BURNING. ALL THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN STRAPPED INTO THEIR CARSEATS. WHEN I NOTICED THE HOLE AND BLACK MARKS IN MY SWEATPANTS AND A HOLE IN MY DRIVER SEAT I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE HEATED SEAT BUTTON. WE COULD OF WRECKED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT MOST LIKELY WOULD OF HAD ANOTHER KID IN THE CAR. NOT ONLY WAS MY CHILDREN'S LIVES AND MY LIFE AT RISK BUT ALL THOSE PEOPLE'S LIVES AROUND ME TAKING THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL, TOO. IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST SCARIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW. WE COULD HAD DIED!!! I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I WANTED HEATED SEATS, NOW I WILL NEVER USE HEATED SEATS AGAIN. I AM TRULY TRAUMATIZED FROM THIS EXPERIENCE. MY EXPERIENCE WITH NISSAN CORPORATION HAS NOT MADE THE SITUATION BETTER BUT WORSE. SEE ALSO ODI 11280207. *DSY *DT*DT*JB

I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF STEERING, BRAKES, FLASHER DOES NOT WORK. EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED I'VE NEARLY GOTTEN HIT AND OF COURSE STRANDED UNTIL SOMEONE CAN HELP ME. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE IN 2010 BUT IT EXPIRED! THIS ISSUE IS REALLY DANGEROUS AND WHETHER OR NOT RECALL IS EXPIRED, I'M NOT GONNA BE SO LUCKY IN THE END! I WILL EVENTUALLY GET HIT AND EITHER ME , MY PASSENGERS OR OTHER PARTY WILL BE SERIOUSLY HURT! PLEASE REACH OUT TO NISSAN ON THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE! I DIDN'T HAVE THE VEHICLE DURING THE RECALL PERIOD 2010. I PURCHASED IN DECEMBER OF 2017! DURING THIS TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES!
