Summary

12/2/2021 SUV accelerated on its own incident happened in my daughters driveway. SUV is available for inspection I have possession as of 1/22/22 picked up from Nissan dealership. I pulled in the her driveway then I backed up so I would be half on the driveway and half on grass in the event her or her husband needed to leave Backed up the car and soon as I put the car in drive the car accelerated on its own. I pushed my foot on the brake pedal as hard as I could would not stop till it hit my daughters car which then shoved her new car through her garage door. A warning message came up on the screen stating SONAR Malfunction as this was all going on. There was a police report filed that same day. Car was taken to Nissan Dealership We were told to leave the car and contact Nissan Consumer hotline. I called they said they would assign someone to the case and they would call me. The first contact from the Nissan Consumer hotline case manager was1/3/2022. This person was very hard to reach. Called me and Stated inspection would be done in a couple weeks she would contact me when she had a date. She calls me the same day they were doing the inspection. Then called me back on 1/21/2022 to inform me the inspection results were in. Stated they could find anything wrong and were unable to duplicate. When I went to pick up my Nissan SUV we were handed a paper from the inspection did not have any details regarding the test. What did they do to come to the conclusion there is nothing wrong? They code is gone that came up when car was accelerating (sonar malfunction) . They told us the car is safe to drive. I have had so much anxiety about driving period since this incident. Since Nissan stated it’s safe to drive my husband said he would we have no choice The day Nissan called back to inform us of that we’re be a scheduled inspection. I called back forgot to ask a few questions . Is the car safe we can drive this was before inspection results no return call.

Summary

The Armada drains the battery for no reason. The frontal collision warning comes on while driving even if no car are near and stays on. Car has power but will not start or release the gear to neutral. This has happen in several occasions and then it starts later on and no code for draining battery was found at dealer. They try to blame it on the trailer brake. I remove it and it still does the same. Trailer brake wiring was done at factory. Car only has 20428 miles.

Summary

Vehicle does not recognize that the brake pedal is being depressed when trying to start the car. Pushing the start button only cycles the ignition through the on and acc options. The only way to start the vehicle is to use the remote start function on the FOB. Additionally, the vehicle experiences and displays a BCI malfunction, AEB braking warning, and traction control indicator light is now on. These errors occur while using both key FOBs even after replacing the FOB batteries. There is a Nissan Service Bulletin for replacing the brake light switch for multiple Nissan vehicles.

Summary

I PURCHASE MY NISSAN ARMADA IN APRIL 2019. IN NOVEMBER 2019 THE CAR LEFT ME STRANDED WITH A DEATH BATTERY. I HAD TO GET IT JUMP STARTED AND THEN DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, A LOW BATTERY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN DECEMBER 2019, SAME ISSUE , THEY CHECKED AND CHANGED THE THE BATTERY. THIS YEAR I HAD THE SAME ISSUE 4 TIMES ALREADY SOMETIMES PARKED AT MY HOUSE SOME AT PUBLIC AREAS, THROUGH OUT THE YEAR, THE FIRST TWO TIMES THEY HAD TO JUMP STARTED . THE THIRD TIME THE MECHANIC THEY SENT COULDN'T STARTED, SINCE I WAS STRANDED IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT ANOTHER PERSON HAD TO HELP. THE FOURTH TIME THE TOWING COMPANY COULD NOT GET IT STARTED AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED. THEY HAVE CHECKED THE IGNITION, THE BATTERY, THE ELECTRICAL AND THEY CAN'T FIND WHAT IS MAKING THE BATTERY DRAIN POWER AND LEAVE IT USEFUL. THE DEALERSHIPS RESPOND IS, TO DRIVE IT LONGER DISTANCE ONCE A WEEK OR TO BUY A POWER BATTERY FOR MY HOUSE TO CHARGE IT ONCE A WEEK! THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP SINCE I WILL NOT TAKE THIS AS A LOGICAL EXPLANATION, FOR A NEW CAR WITH ONLY 9.800 MILES. THEIR SOLUTIONS ARE 1- TO BUY A LARGER BATTERY AT MY COST AND LOSE THE WARRANTY FROM THEM ,2- BUY A BATTERY TENDER TO CHARGE MY CAR ONCE A WEEK ( AT MY OWN COST) 3- BUY A NEW CAR ( OUR REQUEST TO SEE OPTIONS) AND FOR THEM IS A REGULAR TRADEOFF. THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND THEIR SOLUTIONS ARE NOT LOGICAL. COMPARED TO OTHER MODELS AND BRANDS, WITH EVEN LESS DRIVING HABITS THAN MINE , I DON'T SEE THEM HAVING TO GO THROUGH THIS OR CHARGING THEIR CARS AT HOME!! THEY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER AND THEIR SOLUTION AS THEY TELL ME WON'T GUARANTEE THE CAR WILL WORK. AND THE WORST PART THEY ALL COST ME MONEY! IT IS SAD THAT MY INVESTMENT AND RELIABILITY ON A FAMILY CAR IS NOT GIVING ME THE CONFIDENCE, SAFETY AND IS A HAZEL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE MY TODDLER TO TRANSPORT AND I HATE TO BE STUCK SOMEWHERE WITH NO HELP.
