WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I AM TOWING MY 4000 LB TRAILER, USING A WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION HITCH, SET UP PROPERLY BY MY RV SPECIALIST, WITH EITHER UNLOADED OR WITH A LOADED WEIGHT NOT EXCEEDING EVEN 6000 POUNDS, THE ARMADA SINKS IN THE BACK END IN A WAY THAT THE REAR TIRES COME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE WHEEL WELL RIMS. MY RV SPECIALIST IS VERY CONCERNED THAT IF I AM DRIVING AND HIT A BUMP OR HOLE, THE TIRE COULD STRIKE THE WHEEL WELL RIM AND CAUSE A BLOW OUT OR MAJOR ACCIDENT. THEY ARE CONCERNED THE SPRING RATIO IS NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY FOR THE ARMADA (WHICH HAS A TOW PACKAGE AND IS SUPPOSEDLY CAPABLE OF TOWING 8500 POUNDS). I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA'S ATTENTION AND THEY WILL NOT EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROBLEM, INSTEAD TELLING ME THAT IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS, IT IS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY!

BCI MALFUNCTION MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE DASH ALONG WITH OTHER INDICATORS. VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUGGESTED TO CONTINUE TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND PUSH START BUTTON WHILE I WAITED FOR ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TOW. AFTER ABOUT 15 MIN THE VEHICLE STARTED. MINUTES LATER THE VEHICLE WAS ON BUT WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT WHILE WAITING FOR TOW AGAIN AND IT EVENTUALLY WENT OUT OF PARK. THE NEXT DAY IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND EVENTUALLY DID. DROPPED OFF AT DEALER FOR SERVICE. PICKED UP THAT AFTERNOON AND WAS TOLD THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH. I DROVE LESS THAN A MILE AWAY AND THE BCI MALFUNCTION MESSAGE CAME ON AGAIN AND DISPLAYED OTHER WARNING LIGHTS AGAIN AS WELL. I WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF DEPARTING AND PLACED IN THE SAME SMALL LOANER VEHICLE THAT DID NOT FIT MY FAMILY. PICKED IT UP MY ARMADA THE NEXT DAY AROUND NOON AND WAS TOLD THEY NOW REPLACED THE BRAKE SENSOR. DROVE OFF AND MADE ONE STOP ON MY WAY BACK TO WORK WHICH IS 4 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND BEFORE I MADE IT THERE THE BCI MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. AFTER MUCH CONVERSATION AND FRUSTRATION THE VEHICLE IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 4TH TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW JUNE 13, 2019 AND THE PROBLEMS STARTED SEPT 4TH 2019.

PRESS BRAKES AND THEY START JUMPING AND MAKE A WEIRD SOUND, DON'T WORK CORRECTLY AS IF YOU LOOSE YOUR BREAKS FOR SOMETIME, PULL OVER SHUT CAR OFF WAIT AND THEN RESTART AND EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL - SCARY AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINOUS PROBLEM AND EVEN MY WORK AROUND IS NO LONGER WORKING. THIS HAPPENS ATLEAST ONCE A MONTH WITH CONTINUED DRIVING SO I USE MY OTHER CAR MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BOUGHT THIS USED ON JUNE 25,2019 WITH APPROXIMATELY 46860 MILES ON IT FROM WOLFCHASE CHYSLER IN BARTLETT,TN. I AM IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND TODAY (8/2/18) WAS TRYING TO LEAVE WORK TODAY AND MY CAR WOULD NOT CRANK. IN THE PROCESS, I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE WOULDN'T CATCH AND WHEN I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO CRANK IT, THE SHIFTER WOULDN'T GO OUT OF PARK. IT WAS STUCK. THIS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES BEFORE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON A TRIP AND THIS WARNING LIGHT BCI MALFUNCTION AS WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. MY BRAKES BECAME REALLY TOUCHY AND I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO KEEP FROM HAVING AN ACCIDENT. THEN, I HAD TO CUT IT OFF AND KEEP TRYING TO GET IT GOING BC I COULDN'T GET THE MALFUNCTION TO GO AWAY OR EVEN COME ON TO PUT IT BACK IN GEAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND TRAVELING WITH TWO CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS TODAY. I AM REQUESTING NISSAN AND THE DEALERSHIP TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM AFTER PAYING A HUGE PRICE FOR A PREMIUM VEHICLE...THE LAST THING I NEED TO DO IS BE BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH WITH GAUGE READING HALF TANK OF FUEL. CAR SUDDENLY STARTED LOOSING ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I PULLED OVER AS QUICKLY AND SAFELY AND SHUT OFF CAR. CAR WOULD NO LONGER START. MY CHILDREN WERE PANICKING AS THIS IS OUR MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION AND WE COULD BARELY GET OFF THE ROAD SINCE WE HAD ZERO NOTICE OR WARNING OF ANYTHING HAPPENING AND ACCORDING TO THE GAUGE, I HAD PLENTY OF FUEL. WE HAD TO BE TOWED HOME AFTER WAITING FOR 3 HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK. AFTER MANY SEARCHES OF WHAT COULD BE, I SAW FAULTY GAS GAUGES ARE A COMMON ISSUE. SO I ADDED A COUPLE GALLONS OF GAS AND MY CAR FIRED RIGHT UP.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AROUND 45 TO 50 MPH. I LOOKED DOWN AND WHEN I LOOKED BACK UP A CAR WAS STOPPED IN THE ROAD. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE IT MADE A WEIRD NOISE ALMOST LIKE A SPRING GOING BOING AND AIR RUSHING. THE NOISE IS VERY HARD TO DESCRIBE. THE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES HAD A WEIRD GRINDING SOUND AND A LOT OF VIBRATION IN THE PEDAL. I HAD THE BRAKES DOWN AS HARD AS I COULD. THE BRAKES DID WORK A LITTLE BUT NOTHING LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE. THERE WAS ONLY A VERY SMALL LIGHT IN COLOR SKID MARK. I LET THE OFFICER KNOW AFTER THE CRASH. AFTER LOOKING INTO IT I DISCOVERED THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. I WAS NOT INJURED BUT PEOPLE IN THE OTHER CAR WERE.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN THE COMPLETE CEILING CONSOLE (LIGHTS, REAR CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTON, SUN ROOF BUTTONS) FELL OUT OF CEILING OF VEHICLE. I ATTEMPTED TO CATCH WITH ONE HAND WHILE CONTROLLING VEHICLE WITH OTHER HAND. UPON PULLING OVER AND PARKING VEHICLE, I FOUND THAT SOME HOW THE PLASTIC HAD BROKEN ON BOTH SCREWS/BOLTS THAT WAS HOLDING IT IN PLACE. NOT SURE WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS BUT THE DROPPING OF THE UNIT COMPLETELY STARTLED ME WHILE DRIVING.

ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA REPORT'S THERE HAVE BEEN 12 COMPLAINTS WITH MINE, AND ACCORDING TO THE ARFC THERE HAVE BEEN FOURTEEN (14) COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME OVERHEAD PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH FAILURE FOR SECOND TIME ON A 2017 NISSAN ARMADA. BECAUSE NISSAN REPAIRED THIS A YEAR AGO (MIND YOU WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD AND HAD TO BE TOWED FROM TOLEDO) THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAVE STATED THAT IT OUTSIDE OF THE 12,000 MILES, ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON THE PART. NISSAN HAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS SWITCH ASSEMBLY. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN NOTED THAT THERE WERE TWO OTHER ARMADAS IN FOR THE SAME REPAIR THAT WEEK. THIS IS NOT ONLY A REPUTATIONAL ISSUE BUT A SAFETY ISSUE. ONE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS WITH THE SWITCH IS THAT IT IS NOT RECOGNIZING WHEN YOU APPLY YOUR FOOT TO THE BRAKE!
