general problems of the 2008 Nissan Armada

I made an appointment with the dealership peoria Nissan for 8:15am on the morning of 4/18/26. I confirmed the recall and brought the vehicle in early they received it told me it should be done by lunch. At 3:45 pm they messaged me it was all done and ready to go. I called and questioned them as to whether or not the airbag needed to be replaced, where they admitted they actually didnt do anything. They started to work on it, realized they wouldnt have time and put it back together. The keys would be at the front desk at sales they were going home. I went down and asked about a rental as the vehicle had a dangerous recall (I had just purchased the vehicle used) they said service is closed go ahead and drive it home and set another appointment and try again. Not only did they lie originally by stating it was all done and ready to go in hopes I wouldnt ask about the airbag. They then insisted I drive it home knowing it was a danger to my family and myself.

I just bought a used 2008 Nissan Armada le (48000miles) with tow package and hooked up to my small enclosed trailer (1800 gwr). I went into my house for less than 5 minutes and when I returned to the truck I saw it was completely bottomed out in the rear. I started the truck and the compressor came on and auto leveled out, but within 15 minutes of driving it was completely flat and caused severe handling issues. This is very dangerous and could lead to an accident. After doing some research online I saw that this is extremely common and Nissan has a service bulletin out but will not recall there faulty air lines that run from the compressor to the rear air bags. People all over have been shocked at Nissan's failure to address the problem and not finding a permanent fix. I have seen people with brand new models claim the have had the whole system replaced multiple times and the leak still re-occurs leading to the air bag failure. This is what the lemon laws were written for so I hope someone pursued it. I hope writing this helps all owners get this problem resolved and I urge anyone that owns a Nissan Armada to look and listen for the compressor running. It's not too obvious of a problem until you attempt to tow but you will see the rear sagging and the compressor turning on frequently. . Read more...

I have a 2008 Nissan Armada, bought it new and my wife use to tell me that the brakes would grind and the brake light would go on, I use to think she was crazy, now that I drive the car my self I knew she was right, when we step on the brake petal the brakes start grinding and the brake comes on we have 3 children and is pretty scary when we try to stop and completely loose brake power, when my wife first told me I took it to the dealer and they couldn't check for the problem since it had to be doing it when I took it well then it didn't do it often, then I took it one time while it was doing it and the dealer told me that they new exactly what it was but couldn't do anything about it since I was out off warranty. I think is ridiculous that the manufacturer knows exactly what the problem is but they won't do nothing about it since their is no recall, I think NHTSA needs to step in and issue a recall as we know their is a lot of people who have the same problem, I have 3 children and a wife and don't us to be the next victim of an accident. Is not like we paid pennies for this car, hope you guys can do something about it before someone gets hurt or worse loose a love one.
