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.

AIR BAGS
PRIORITY NISSAN MAZDA SOLD A 2010 NISSAN ARMADA WITH AN INCORRECT OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) AND REFUSED TO REPAIR THE SAFETY DEFECT. THE INCORRECT ECU AND SEAT COMBINATION MAY MISCLASSIFY THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT AND WILL CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO MALFUNCTION DURING A CRASH. IF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT IS MISCLASSIFIED, THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY INCORRECTLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY. ACCORDING TO PRIORITY NISSAN MAZDA OF VIENNA VA, THE DEALERSHIP FOUND CODES STORED B1017 OCS CONTROL - NEEDS PASSENGER SEAT ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE OCS UNIT. NISSAN HAS PREVIOUS SAFETY RECALLS FOR THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE WITH ALL OTHER YEARS AND MODELS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN AS IT IS UNSAFE.

THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE FOR MY 2010 NISSAN ARMADA FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING AND HIT MY SON (SEATED IN THE MIDDLE SECOND ROW) ON THE HEAD. THE PLASTIC FASTENERS FOR THE CONSOLE JUST DISINTEGRATED AND BROKE OFF. THERE WERE ONLY 2 TINY FASTENERS FOR THE HUGE CONSOLE. WHEN THEY BROKE OFF AND THE CONSOLE SWUNG DOWN IT BROKE OFF FROM THE STEREO CONTROL PANEL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I'VE READ SO MANY POSTS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BASED ON POOR CONSTRUCTION.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL (VDC; AKA STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM), ABS, BRAKE, AND 4X4 LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATE. AT TIMES, THIS IS ACCOMPANIED BY FAILURE OF THE SPEEDOMETER. WHEN ILLUMINATED, THE VDC IS SWITCHED OFF FOR CERTAIN, THE 4X4 WILL NOT ENGAGE, AND MOST LIKELY THE ABS WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. A SEARCH ONLINE (JUST LOOK FOR NISSAN ABS/VDC LIGHTS) REVEALS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ACROSS VIRTUALLY ALL NISSAN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THESE SYSTEMS, AND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE CAUSES OF THIS FAILURE. SOME SOLUTIONS HAVE RANGED FROM RECALIBARATION OF VARIOUS SENSORS TO REPLACEMENT OF ABS ACTUATION MODULES ($1,000+ PART). MANY EVEN REPORT THE PROBLEM OCCURING VERY SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE (I.E. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH ONLY 15 MILES ON THE VEHICLE), OR WITHIN THE FIRST 30,000 MILES. IF THE AFFLICTED SYSTEMS WERE TO FAIL DURING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, OR EVEN SIMPLY IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS, IT COULD EASILY RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. IT APPEARS TO BE A SYSTEMIC ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE VEHICLE COMPONENTS BEING POORLY MANUFACTURED, OR POORLY INSTALLED (SOME HAVE REPORTED LOOSE GROUND SCREWS FROM THE FACTORY AS A ROOT CAUSE, OR VARIOUS SPEED/ABS SENSORS INSTALLED ON EACH WIELD BEING INSTALLED IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE WIRES BECOME CHAFED OR DAMAGED). I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ANY TSB OR RECALL DATA ON THIS ISSUE, BUT CONSIDERING THE COSTS FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD NOT BE NEEDED, WIDE-SPREAD FREQUENCY OF THIS ISSUE, AND ABOVE ALL, THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS DAMAGE OR INJURY, THERE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE. *TR

I ATTEMPTED TO ACCESS THE REAR LIFTGATE HOWEVER, IT FAILED TO OPEN AFTER PUSHING UNLOCK ON THE FOB AS WELL AS UNLOCKING MANUALLY ON THE INTERIOR DOOR. ALSO ATTEMPTED OPENING THE GLASS HATCH AND THAT TOO DOES NOT UNLOCK. SEARCHING ONLINE SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM DATING AS FAR BACK AS 2004. CLUB ARMADA FORUM SUGGESTS IT IS DUE TO THE FAULTY REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR AND/OR FAULTY LOCKING MECHANISM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED YET BUT NEED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND DETERMINE IF IT SI COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
