2011 Nissan Armada SUV RWD

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.

ENGINE MAKING A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE. BELIEVE IT'S THE MANIFOLD BEING CRACKED

MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START ( SOMETIMES) IF MY FRONT WHEELS ARE TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN PARKED. FORCING THE STEERING WHEEL TO ALIGN WHEELS STRAIGHT AHEAD IT WILL START.

THE VEHICLE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING ON THE DASH. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND AN ERROR CODE 'B1054' WHICH INDICATES A DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE PROBLEM. SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLEARED THE CODE BUT IT HAS SINCE RETURNED. REPAIR HAS NOT BEEN PERFORMED BUT SERVICE NOTES INDICATE A POSSIBLE CLOCK SPRING/SPIRAL CABLE REPLACEMENT. THIS A $900 PART + $400 LABOR FEES THE CONSUMER IS LEFT TO PAY FOR A SAFETY FEATURE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO COME WITH THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ARMADA. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, A TICKING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND STALLED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN OF LAKE NORMAN (18615 STATESVILLE RD, CORNELIUS, NC) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED. THE MANIFOLD WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

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 AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO FLASH. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE COST TO LOOK AT IT IS $150.00 AND THE REPAIR COST CAN BE UP TO $1800.00.

MY NISSAN ARMADA CAUGHT FIRE. MY FRONT DRIVER SEAT GOT VERY HOT TO THE POINT OF BURNING. PULLED OVER TO GET AN APPLICATION FOR MY CHILD'S DAYCARE. PULLED MY SON OR TO GO WITH ME AND LEFT MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WATCHING A MOVIE WHILE I WENT IN BY THE TIME I REACHED THE DOOR I HEAR MY KIDS YELLING. I TURNED AND LOOKED THE CAR WAS FILED WITH SMOKE. THANK GOD FOR GOOD HEARTED PEOPLE THAT HELP ME GET THE KID'S OUT THE CAR. I'M CONTACTING A LAWYER ABOUT THIS.

AC MOTOR BLOWER FAILING. TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON HIGHWAY 35N RADIATOR LEAK TO TRANSMISSION. SMELL TRANSMISSION OILS ENGINE LIGHT ON RPM HIGH/35 TO 40 MPH NISSAN ARMADA 2011 /79000 MILE

THE FRONT ONLY DRIVER SIDE HEATING AND COOLING DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE PASSENGER SIDE AND BACK HEATING AND COOLING OPERATES AS EXPECTED. EXAMPLE: AT 90 ON HIGH HEAT, ALL AREAS OF THE VEHICLE WILL BE HOT EXCEPT THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD AND FLOORBOARD AIR VENTS BLOW COOL AIR. EXACT THING HAPPENS (IN OPPOSITE) IN THE SUMMER WHEN RUNNING THE AC.

STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS FOR RADIO HAVE NOT WORKED IN 5YRS, THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING LAST YRS. 2016 AND THE HORN WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO, MOST OF THE TIME IT DOES NOT WORK.

TIRES WEAR OUT ON ONE SIDE THEY SAID IT NEED ALIGNMENT. AFTER THE ALIGNMENT WAS DONE TEN THOUSAND MILES LATER SAME PROBLEM. NOW THEY SAID IT'S THE WAY WE DRIVE. I'M 48 YEARS OLD AND OWNED MANY CARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

FAULTY AIR MIX ACTUATOR. WHILE RUNNING AIR CONDITIONER, PASSENGER SIDE IS COLD WHILE DRIVER SIDE IS HOT. HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION AS WELL AS WHEN STATIONARY ON ANY SURFACE. HAPPENED FIRST TIME JULY 2016 AND HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY EVER SINCE. IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE IN 95 DEGREE WEATHER.

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.

2011 NISSAN ARMADA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE REPLACED DUE TO LACK OF LUBRICATION ISSUES. CORPORATE DENIES CLAIMS OF FRONT CAMSHAFT BRACKET BOLT AND CYLINDER BLOCK BALL PLUG OIL LEAKS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS. *SMD ALSO, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT STAY UP. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT 45-50 MILES PER HOUR, SKID AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. IMMEDIATLY ALL TIRES LOOKED AND THE VEHICLE SKID OF THE ROAD. I WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE OR STOP THE VEHICLE, IT SLID AND OVER TURNED UNTIL IT CAME TO A STOP ON IT'S OWN. BEFORE THIS MY HEAT(A/C UNIT) WENT OUT ON IT'S OWN AS WELL AS THE WIPERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BECAME HOT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE MIDDLE OF THE SEAT MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

S10 APPROPRIATE HANDLING- LETTER TO THE SECRETARY FROM CONSTITUENT RE COMPLAINT REGARDING COOPER DISCOVER TIRES. *SMD THE CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $ 938.66. AT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES, HE NOTICED SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WEAR AND TEAR DEVELOPING, TO THE POINT WHERE THE RUBBER WAS BREAKING AND TEARING OFF. THE SIDEWALLS WERE ALSO DEVELOPING CRACKS AND A TRAJECTORY OF CREVICES WERE NOTICEABLY FORMING LEADING TO A POTENTIAL BLOWOUT. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO HYDROPLANE WHEN IT RAINED AND STEERING WHEEL WAS SUBJECT TO FREQUENT STRONG VIBRATIONS. THE CONSUMER QUICKLY PURCHASED ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRES.*JB

BACK WINDOW HANDLE NOT WORKING, CAN'T OPEN WINDOW ANYMORE. *TR

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

BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND BRAKES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. SEEMS LIKE THE DELTA SENSOR. INTERMITTENT FOR THE PAST MONTH. SCARED TO DRIVE THIS SUV WITH KIDS. THIS WAS BOUGHT NEW-ONLY HAS 16K MILES ON IT. FEELS LIKE I AM UNABLE TO STOP AND ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG; BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT IT IS FINE. IT IS NOT FINE AND I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP IF A CHILD OR ANIMAL RAN OUT IN THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT A COST OF $ 2600. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000. UPDATED 8/19/14*CN

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD AS THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MERGE OFF THE ROADWAY AND AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, SHE NOTICED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE WAS FRACTURED AND HAD WRAPPED ITSELF AROUND THE AXLE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,799.

THE CAR TOTALLY SHUT DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME THAT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IT SAW THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. 4 DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED THE DEALER REPLACED THE WHOLE COMPUTER. I NO LONGER HAVE THE SUV. *TR

THE REAR DOOR LATCH ACTUATOR ISN'T RELEASING ALL THE WAY. IN READING SOME FORUMS THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM. I CANT ACCESS THE REAR CARGO AREA. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE DYNAMIC CONTROL WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED AS A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS FRACTURED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,100. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED TO 100 MPH. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES.

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. IT CAN BE CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLES IN THE MIRROR ARE NOT CLEARLY VISIBLE LEADING TO NEAR COLLISION DURING CHANGING LANES. REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO REPLACE THE MIRROR WITH THE DEALER HAS NOT CORRECTED THE ISSUE AND THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS THAT IT IS A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE MIRROR. PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR HAS ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUES I.E.. NO SHAKES OR VIBRATIONS AT ANY SPEED IN CITY OR HIGHWAY.
