general problems of the 2017 Nissan Armada

There are several electrical problems with this vehicle that through research has proven to be a problem with several people with this vehicle. The speedometer lights only illuminate half of the numbers, which can cause an issue when its dark and you can't see your speed. The battery seems to be drained in about a year after installing new battery. The right rear tv in the headrest does not work properly as well as the cooled and heated seats on the driver side. This does not necessarily cause a safety problem, but it does seem to be assisting in draining the battery. This morning the car would not start, but when trying to turn the car off the vehicle remained on, no matter what was tried to turn off. It is a fear that the vehicle will cut off while driving and would put the driver and passengers in danger. This has been an ongoing issue and Nissan claims that this is a personal issue, due to it not being under warranty. When forums are created and several people are having the same issue, it is concerning and Nissan needs to take care of this situation.

I drive a 2017 Nissan Armada that caught fire!!! we purchased this vehicle March of this year. My heated seat malfunctioned and caught my pants and my seat on fire while I was driving with two-2- small children!!! Tuesday morning November 12th, 2019 I was driving my 7 year old to school with my 3 year old with us when I started to feel a pain in my left leg. I lifted my leg which then I saw smoke and could smell something was burning. All this happened while I was driving with 2 small children strapped into their carseats. When I noticed the hole and black marks in my sweatpants and a hole in my driver seat I immediately turned off the heated seat button. We could of wrecked into another vehicle that most likely would of had another kid in the car. Not only was my children's lives and my life at risk but all those people's lives around me taking their kids to school, too. It was one of the most scariest days of my life. I am terrified to drive this vehicle now. We could had died!!! I bought this vehicle because I wanted heated seats, now I will never use heated seats again. I am truly traumatized from this experience. My experience with Nissan corporation has not made the situation better but worse. See also odi 11280207.
