Car Will Not Start problems of the 2019 Nissan Armada

2019 Nissan was purchased Aug 2020 from vallejo Nissan(CA). October 20' the Armada wouldn't start, I took it to the tracy Nissan dealership as I have the Nissan plus extended warranty. Tech said it was the battery which was not covered. I purchased a new battery with max cranking amps. Jan 28, 2021 I took the car back to dealership as it failed to start again(#2). Nissan tech said the negative battery terminal cable was loose. Feb 3, 2021 I took the car back to tracy Nissan as it failed to start (#3). Nissan tech replaced the stop lamp switch which he stated was the reason why the Armada wouldn't start. Feb 20th, Armada again would not start (#4). Took it to dealer Feb 22nd and was told a few days later(Feb 27th) that a Nissan regional technician was contacted and they had to update the "rapid charge" system in the Armada and they were "pretty sure" the problem has been repaired. My wife arrived at Nissan on Feb 27th and Armada again, would not start(#5). This was while it was still in the Nissan dealer lot. March 1st I was contacted by Nissan tech who stated my battery has low cranking amps due to the update they had to do to the rapid charge system and asked me to replace the battery. . . Again! four of the five times the vehicle wouldn't start it was parked in my driveway, the fifth time it was parked at the dealership.

On January 4th, 2020 when we went to start the car, all the lights flickered and the seats rattled from electrical pulses. The car did not start at all. We have had this happen 20+ times. Sometimes when we jump the car, it will start. The dealership has replaced the battery 4 times. It is clearly not the battery. Nissan never has an answer.

On somewhat random occasions the vehicle will not start, in total over 13 separate occasions. At times it will start after 5 or 6 attempts sometimes 20 attempts. On the last 5 occasions it would not start until a battery charger or other battery was used. I have used the last occasion for date of occurrence. Had it to the dealership 3 times and they cannot duplicate. It is a random occurrence sometimes after a week and sometimes after a couple of months. The last time in November I had to jump start it 4 times before I could get it to the dealer and they could not duplicate it. The vehicle is unreliable. The regional rep is now working with me and having me take it to the dealership one more time to check it again.

Dead battery under normal usage. The vehicle started as normal from home. I parked iit after 30 minutes driving. After two hours back at the parking lot the Armada would not start. I had to jump start it.

Bci malfunction message displayed on the dash along with other indicators. Vehicle wouldn't start. Service department suggested to continue to press the brake and push start button while I waited for road side assistance tow. After about 15 min the vehicle started. Minutes later the vehicle was on but would not move out of park. Continued to attempt while waiting for tow again and it eventually went out of park. The next day it would not start again and eventually did. Dropped off at dealer for service. Picked up that afternoon and was told they replaced the brake switch. I drove less than a mile away and the bci malfunction message came on again and displayed other warning lights again as well. I was back at the dealership within 5 minutes of departing and placed in the same small loaner vehicle that did not fit my family. Picked it up my Armada the next day around noon and was told they now replaced the brake sensor. Drove off and made one stop on my way back to work which is 4 miles from the dealership and before I made it there the bci malfunction light came on again. After much conversation and frustration the vehicle is back at the dealership for the 4th time for the same problem. I purchased the vehicle new June 13, 2019 and the problems started sept 4th 2019.
