1 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2025 Nissan Armada

Failure Date: 02/07/2026

On Saturday, February 7th, at approximately 1:00 pm, I was involved in a high-impact rear-end collision while driving cautiously with adaptive cruise control and driver assistance systems activated, maintaining the distance set by the vehicle itself. When the vehicles ahead of me suddenly collided, my Nissan Armada did not brake properly. I am not stating that the braking response was insufficient — I am stating that the braking system failed to function correctly. Despite fully depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle did not decelerate in a normal or expected manner. Most importantly, there were no visible skid marks or braking marks on the pavement after the accident, which strongly indicates that the braking system did not engage as it should have. Any properly functioning vehicle under full brake application would normally leave visible braking evidence on the roadway. This did not occur. The impact was severe and resulted in extensive frontal damage, yet no airbags deployed, which further intensifies the concern regarding multiple safety system failures. This incident placed my life, the lives of my family members traveling with me, and the lives of others on the road at extreme risk. While there were no fatalities, there were minor injuries and significant emotional trauma, particularly for my [xxx] daughter, who is now fearful of riding in a vehicle. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

2 Adaptive Cruise Control problem of the 2018 Nissan Armada

Failure Date: 07/25/2021

The display control unit (dcu) has failed in my 18 Armada. My VIN is not part of the recall with the other 18 Armada models. The safety features of the collision warning system does not work because the dcu has failed. The back up camera does not work because the dcu has failed. This is a pedestrian safety issue. The navigation system does not work because the dcu has failed. None of the control panel buttons on dash or the steering wheels work because the dcu has failed including the cruise control. The Nissan dealership has confirmed it is the dcu but it is not under the recall with my VIN, however it appears all 18 Armada's have been recalled due to the same issue. No warning lights appears, the display screen stopped working only displaying the Nissan symbol. I would like my VIN added to the recall list for the dcu so the vehicle can become safe to myself and others.
