ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WENT TO START MY VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING BUT THE ENGINE WOULD START. TRIED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, LOCKED, UNLOCKED CAR THEN LEFT IT ALONE FOR 5 MINUTES AND IT FINALLY STARTED. THEN, LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE BCI MALFUNCTION WARNING AND A BUNCH OF OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. HAD TO PULL OVER, LOOK UP THIS WARNING AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS OTHERS WHO HAD THIS SAME ISSUE DID. I TURNED VEHICLE OFF, WAITED A MINUT AND TURNED IT BACK ON. WARNING CLEARES. THE NEXT MORNING MY CAR WOULDN'T START. HAD TO SWAP CARS WITH HUSBAND SO I COULD GET TO WORK. THIS MORNING I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT WOULDN'T START. I'VE NOW BEEN WAITING 3 HRS FOR A TOW TRUCK TO GET VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 40K MILES AND IS A 2017 MODEL.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING CAR WILL START ACTING WEIRD AS THOUGH I'M HAVE A LITTLE DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING. THEN A LIGHT WILL COME ON THAT LOOKS LIKE A CAR WITH A WINDY ROAD. THEN AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO A TON OF OTHER LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND AN ALERT OF BCI MALFUNCTION WILL APPEAR. TRIED TO GOOGLE TO SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO RESOLVE AND SOME HAVE SAID THAT THEY HAVE TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THE CAR HAS ACTUALLY SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. SO, I ALWAYS TRY TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT TURN BACK ON AND IT WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED. I ALSO HAVE BEEN IN PARK WHEN THE ALERT CAME ON AND IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE, AGAIN LEAVING ME STRANDED.

SERVICE BRAKES
WE HAVE ALMOST HAD A COUPLE OF ACCIDENTS DUE TO BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGING. FIRST WE WERE BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY WITH NOTHING AROUND BUT THE VEHICLE IMPLIED BRAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE THAT CAME BARRELING DOWN OUR ROAD SLOWED DOWN UNTIL THE VEHICLE FINALLY LET THE BRAKE OFF. THEN 4 MORE TIMES WHEN DRIVING APPLYING BRAKES RANDOMLY! THIS IS NOT SAFE. LUCKILY, WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. BRAKES CONTINUE TO APPLY RANDOMLY WITHOUT THE SAFETY SURROUND SENSORS ACTIVATED! VEHICLE IS AT DEALER TODAY!

I HAVE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE TO GLENDALE NISSAN TWICE FOR REPAIR OF AIR BAG RECALL. WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON FOLLOWING DAY. UPON SECOND OCCASION SERVICE TECH SAID THAT THEY HAD CHANGED AIR BAG COMPONENT, HOWEVER THERE WAS A DELETED CODE STORED PREVIOUSLY THAT SOMEHOW RE-ACTIVATED. HE SAID THEY HAD CLEARED IT AND THAT I SHOULD MONITOR IT. LIGHT CONTINUES TO BE ON. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF DRIVING IT ANY LONGER. I'M AT A LOSS AT WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
7/25/2020 NISSAN ARMADA PLATINUM RESERVE - WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE CANYON, I HAD THE BRAKES START APPLYING THEMSELVES THEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON WITH A MESSAGE "BCI MALFUNCTION." WE WERE ABLE TO GET PULLED OVER SAFELY AND TURN THE CAR OFF. WE THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, SO WE REPEATED THE STEPS AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. AT OUR NEXT STOP, THE CAR WOULD NOT START NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES WE TRIED FROM THE NORMAL PUSH BUTTON START. WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT START BY USING REMOTE START ON THE KEY FOB. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSAN ARMADAS AND INFINITY QX MODELS, BASED ON MULTIPLE FORUMS ONLINE. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GET SEVERELY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. 60K VEHICLE WITH 40K MILES ON IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING AT RATE OF 45 MILES PER HOUR IN THE CITY OF OXNARD, CA IN MY 2017 NISSAN ARMADA SL, THE CAR STARTED TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN TO A SPEED OF 5 MILES PER HOUR, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE ANTISKID AND 4X4 LIGHTS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THE CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO ALLOW TRAFFIC TO CONTINUE. AFTER WAITING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WITH THE CAR OFF I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THEN DROVE AS NORMAL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET LOOKED AT, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULDN'T DETERMINE THE CAUSE USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. THE CAR CONTINUES TO DRIVE NORMAL, BUT THEN STALLS AND THE SAME ISSUE ARISES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL GAGE GETS TO ONE QUARTER AND IT STARTS TO BE INACCURATE AND WILL RUN OUT OF GAS SHOWING ONE QUARTER TANK. THE FUEL GAGE WILL NOT WORK RIGHT UNTIL YOU HAVE OVER THREE QUARTERS IN. I GOT SO LOW ON FUEL THE LIGHT WAS ON THREE DAYS AGO. I PUT A FEW GALLONS IN WHEN I GOT TO TOWN IT SHOWER THERE WAS 1/8 OF A TANK BY THE TIME I GOT HOME IT WAS SHOWING A LITTLE OVER 1/4 WERE IT WAS WHEN IT RAN OUT OF GAS 1 1/2 YEARS AGO. THE NEXT MORNING I HAD TO GO TO TOWN AND IT SHOWED I HAD ALMOST HALF A TANK BY THE TIME I GOT THERE. I'VE PUT ABOUT 7 GALLONS IN IT AND THE FUEL GAGE IS AT THE SAME PLACE. WHEN I FILLED THE TANK UP THE FUEL GAGE STARTED WORKING PROBABLY. I'VE LOOKED AND THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON SOME NISSAN ARMADA ALREADY BUT THIS ONE ISN'T ON THE LIST
