Summary

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.

Summary

BOTH OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS IN OUR 2011 NISSAN ARMADA HAVE CRACKED. AS A RESULT, EXHAUST FUMES WERE LEAKING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CREATING A POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONCENTRATION OF C02 FUMES IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN/ENGINEERING DEFECT ON ALL V8 NISSAN ARMADA AND NISSAN TITAN ENGINES FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. NISSAN WILL ONLY COVER THE FEDERALLY MANDATED 8 YEAR/80,000 EMISSIONS WARRANTY. C02 INHALATION CAUSES HUNDREDS OF DEATHS PER YEAR IN THE US. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN TO THE MANUFACTURER AND WELL DOCUMENTED IN THOUSANDS OF CASES. AS SUCH IT SHOULD BE COVERED IN FULL BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS REPAIR COST US $2439.36. NISSAN SHOULD REIMBURSE US IN FULL FOR THE REPAIRS.

DURING A FAMILY CAMPING TRIP, TOWING A CAMPER, AT ~54,000 MILES THE EXHAUST BROKE OFF THE VEHICLE AT THE MOUNTING FLANGE JUST BEHIND THE MUFFLER. THIS CAUSED EXHAUST TO HEAT THE FLOORBOARDS JUST AT THE 3RD ROW SEATS, MELTING THE PLASTIC COVER TO THE MOUNTING BOLTS OF THE SEAT TO THE FLOOR, AND MELTING THE CARPET IN THE SAME AREA, AND FILLING THE CAB WITH MELTING PLASTIC FUMES. IT ALSO MELTED THE REAR AIR-RIDE SUSPENSION AIR LINE, CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO BE IN-OPERABLE WHILE TOWING AND OFF BALANCE LOADING WHILE DRIVING.

THE OIL FILL SPOUT CAME OFF THE VALVE HEAD COVER RESULTING IN MASSIVE OIL SPILL. I WAS LUCKY I DISCOVERED IT AFTER A SHORT TRIP TO THE STORE. BOTH PIECES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC AND POORLY GLUED TOGETHER WITH SOMETHING THAT RESEMBLES SILICONE. IT HAD COMPLETELY DETERIORATED (THE CAR HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT) . VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT NISSAN WOULDN'T SPEND ANOTHER 15 CENTS AND HOLD THESE PIECES TOGETHER WITH A CLAMP OF SOME SORT. I HAD JUST COME BACK FROM A 650 MILE TRIP, IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE CEASED UP OR THE CAR MIGHT HAVE GONE UP IN FLAMES.

Summary

I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES FROM MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER 2014. WITHIN TWO WEEKS I HAD TWO FLAT TIRES FROM THE TIRE SENSOR LEAKS. ACCORDING TO TIRE TEC THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM SERVICING RUBBERS NEED TO BE REPLACED. ONCE A TIRE IS REMOVED AND REPLACED THE RUBBERS ARE USUALLY DAMAGED BY BENDING THE RUBBERS THUS CAUSING THE LEAKS. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ADVISING OF SENSOR WARNINGS AND PROBLEMS WITH KEEPING AIR IN TIRES. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS UNIVERSAL TO ANYONE WHO HAS A VEHICLE WITH THE ELECTRONIC TIRE SENSORS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. SO I HAVE HAD TWO OF MY SENSORS REPLACED. THE OTHER TWO OF MY TIRES CONSTANTLY LEAK AIR. *TR

Summary

VEHICLES IN FRONT OF US WERE BRAKING HARD AND SO I BEGAN BRAKING ACCORDINGLY, BUT OUR 2011 NISSAN ARMADA WAS NOT SLOWING SUFFICIENTLY; SO I SWERVED TO THE LEFT AND, SINCE WE WERE ON AN OVERPASS BRIDGE (NO WHERE ELSE TO GO) AND SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD NOT SLOWED AS ANTICIPATED, WE IMPACTED A 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA ON THEIR LEFT REAR BUMPER WITH MY RIGHT FRONT BUMPER. WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, I DO NOT RECALL THE STANDARD "KICK-BACK" AND "GROWLING" TYPICAL OF AN ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS AND TIRES DID NOT "LOCK UP" EITHER. MAIN CONCERN IS THAT OUR 2011 NISSAN ARMADA DID NOT DECELERATE AS EXPECTED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. WE WERE NOT NEW TO THIS VEHICLE - WE PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2011 AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT DAILY FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY, NO VISIBILITY ISSUES, NO OTHER ISSUES PERIOD. ALL 4 TIRES WERE RECENTLY REPLACED (<1,000 MILES), AND THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION SINCE OWNING IT. 2011 NISSAN ARMADA JUST DIDN'T SLOW DOWN AS IT NORMALLY DID. *TR

Summary

WHILE DRIVING AT 50MPH OR HIGHER, NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED, IT FEELS THE CAR IS KINDLY FLOATING ON THE ROAD AND DOES NOT HAS A FIRM CONTACT WITH THE SURFACE, ON A PERFECTLY SUNNY DRY DAY. THE FEELING IS LIKE HAVING TAIL SPIN A LITTLE. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS EXPERIENCE EVER SINCE IT WAS NEW, AND IN ADDITION, THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF FROM NEW, 1000-2000 MILE NEW, AND I ALWAYS HAVE TO PULL TO THE LEFT TO COMPENSATE. I WENT TO DEALER AND REPORTED THIS AROUND 10K/15K MILES, AND THEY RECOMMENDED ALIGNMENT, AND WE DID. HOWEVER, PROBLEM PERSIST. JUST YESTERDAY, THE REAR AXLE JUST GAVE UP AND BROKE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR WARRANTY SERVICE, BUT THEY REFUSED AND ACCUSED THAT THE CAR'S BEEN IN COLLISION. NO, NO ACCIDENT/COLLISION WHATSOEVER! AND NO THERE'S NOT ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE TIRE AND RIM. RATHER, I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

DRIVER SIDE MIRROR SHAKES OR VIBRATES AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS (CITY AND HIGHWAY) ON FLAT PAVED ROADS. THE SHAKE OR VIBRATION IS EXCESSIVE MAKING THE IMAGES OF VEHICLES SHAKY. IT IS WORSE IN THE NIGHT TIME WITH SHAKY IMAGES OF HEADLIGHTS.

PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR HAS ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUES I.E.. NO SHAKES OR VIBRATIONS AT ANY SPEED IN CITY OR HIGHWAY.
