1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2025

There is a common known issue with the Armadas that Nissan has not addressed, where you will randomly get a "bci malfunction" warning, sometimes corresponding to a warning about the abs system. The car will not shift out of the current gear when this happens, until you turn it off and back on again. If you are really unlucky, like I am, this will progress to the car randomly applying the brakes and initiating hard stops, in traffic. This happened to me two days ago in traffic and I narrowly escaped an accident. I had to get the car towed home and it still intermittently does this. The brakes locked up so badly that the car was covered in smoke and appeared to be on fire. This is terribly unsafe, and Nissan needs to fix it, because it is more likely that an Armada owner will encounter this, than that they won't, and people are going to be injured and/or killed, if they have not already. This is very serious. Please help.
