general problems of the 2017 Nissan Armada

My vehicle was having intermitten bci (backup collision intervention) malfunction lights on the dash. On one occurrence it caused my vehicle to slam on the brakes suddenly at 20mph, it is definitely a safety issue. I replaced both brake switches which solved it temporarily but now it is on constantly. It has been scanned with various Nissan scan tools and no errors are found. I have read endless forum posts of Armada owners having this problem and the dealerships are giving them the run around with no clear solution.

I have had to replace the brake switch twice in this vehicle and it is under 35k miles. Other Nissan models have had this recalled. Once it begins to fail, the car will not start because it doesn't detect the brake is depressed. It also sets off the bci malfunction warning randomly and while driving, which impacts cruise control and brake safety. I can send invoices of repairs from dealership if helpful.

Car is has been having bci malfunction warning come up. This has happened numerous times since purchasing. It has been taken to the dealership multiple times for this issue. They have replaced brake switch sensors and even the battery and calibrated everything and the problem continues to persist. This has left us stranded on the side the road with the car not starting. It has caused sudden braking while driving on interstate with no warning and nothing to cause this reaction… two Nissan dealerships that have looked it it play it off as nothing meanwhile I keep reading of more people having similar issues with this vehicle. This needs to be further investigated before someone is out in a deadly situation.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Armada. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 mph, the stop lamp switch warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the switch was related to back over prevention feature. The vehicle was taken the local dealer and was diagnosed and repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.

Bci malfunction. The car will not start, reverse, drive, brakes randomly, etc.

My car won't crank or if it does it takes several attempts. I was told it was the brake light switch. I will be taking it back to the dealer ASAP.

Vehicle intermittently displays a bli malfunction and decelerates the vehicle while driving highway speeds. It occasionally does it while idling and will not allow the car to be put in gear. When it happens at start up, it will not allow the vehicle to start and only activates the accessories. The incidents began happening at around 55,000 miles and has been continuous and increasing in frequency since 6/20/20.

Bought this used on June 25,2019 with approximately 46860 miles on it from wolfchase chysler in bartlett,TN. I am in the medical field and today (8/2/18) was trying to leave work today and my car would not crank. In the process, I noticed that the brake wouldn't catch and when I finally was able to crank it, the shifter wouldn't go out of park. It was stuck. This happened 2 more times before driving down the road on a trip and this warning light bci malfunction as we are driving down the road. My brakes became really touchy and I had to pull off the road to keep from having an accident. Then, I had to cut it off and keep trying to get it going bc I couldn't get the malfunction to go away or even come on to put it back in gear. This is a huge safety hazard and traveling with two children could have been extremely hazardous today. I am requesting Nissan and the dealership take responsibility for this problem after paying a huge price for a premium vehicle. . . The last thing I need to do is be broke down on the side of the road.

Below is a copy of the email I sent to Nissan corp. They documented my complaint and close the file. My proof of ownership is attached. Reed Nissan is replacing part #25320-ax10a, brake switch on my 2017 Nissan Armada. VIN # . . . . . . . The parts and labor equal, $250. 27. The price is not my issue, let's be clear. I am concerned about my safety. This morning my vehicles transmission started to slip, followed by the inability to stop!!! I almost rear ended another vehicle. The vehicle started to smoke. I was luckily able to get out of the road with little to no brake left to stop my vehicle. This is dangerous. Someone is going to die if this part is not recalled and corrected. I had just dropped my 8 month old and 2 year old off to daycare!!! I was told by riley they have replaced this part on multiple Armada's and Nissan has failed to recall this part.

2017 vehicle hesitated while leaving a drive through, would not shift from park. At next venue, the vehicle failed to start. Owner attempted to start vehicle with remote start. The engine turned on, however, upon entry when the owner pressed the start and placed foot on the brake, the vehicle shut off. The vehicle was then towed to the dealership where repairs were made to a stop sensor, however, the vehicle is still hesitating.
