1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem of the 2018 Nissan Armada

Failure Date: 09/25/2024

I take my vehicle to the same dealer for all services and over the past several years, I've had "battery issues" that turn out to be control module issues that require new wiring for the vehicle to run at all, battery completely drains after several small trips around town. I have fully replaced the battery, done a warranty on it after than and I'm still constantly stranded. Nissan doesn't want to cover any of the labor ($645. 00) that it requires to run at all. No parts are needed, it's just labor to reconfigure the way the alternator works but they're telling me it's my problem to fix but it's not a worn out part, it's literally the electrical. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? battery & Smart alternator how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? vehicle will not start, battery completely drains after several small trips around town. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes, they're fully aware of the problem that these Armadas are having, recalls currently on 2017 & 2019 models but they're not recalling my year, 2018! has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? yes, dealer service center several times. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no. First started in 2019. I've gone through several batteries, roadside assistance and personal jumps due to the faulty battery leaving me stranded several times over.

2 Alternator/generator/regulator problem of the 2005 Nissan Armada

Failure Date: 07/15/2006

I purchased a used 2005 Nissan Armada on may 22, 2006 with a mileage of 34,399 miles. As you can see I haven't had it for a 2 full months yet, and already it has failed me. On my way home from work after working 16 hours. I stopped in a record shop to purchase some music cd's, it had only been about 15 minutes that the engine was shut off. When I proceeded back to my vehicle to start it back up, it wouldn't start. I therefore called aaa, they came in a matter of minutes, they tried for 45 minutes to give it a boost but it just wouldn't start, so therefore aaa had to send a flat bed tow truck to tow it back to the dealer. I contacted the dealer where I purchased the vehicle from, they informed me that the service department was closed, so now I have to take off a day of work to have this vehicle towed on Monday. The catch 22 is they can't promise me a loaner, and they are not even sure if they can reimburse my towing fees. As a consumer who is a single parent of 4 working 16 hours a day 5 days a week, I'm taking this all the way to the top. The end results that would be to my satisfaction is to give me a brand new 2006 Armada with 0 mileage. The dealer did not service this car properly. I conducted a carfax report on my vehicle and it stated that this vehicle was used as a rental in maryland. I don't want them to fix it, they are assuming its the alternator or the starter, in which should not be happening to what is considered to be a new truck. I feel once they fix that problem, another problem will occur. I am a very dissatisfied customer, I feel I was taken for my money because I am a woman. I will be contacting consumer affairs & ny1 news station to get the satisfaction I deserve.
