On August 11 2010 , while I was driving with my 2 kids 6 and 2 yrs old , my 2006 Nissan Armada caught on fire , my kids and I were able to smell like something was burning, but we were not able to see any smoke or fire anywhere around us, it was about 5 minutes later that my daughter was able to see smoke coming from under the truck ,, she said the smoke went by her window , I looked thru my mirrors but I was not able to see anything , I looked at the temperature gauges on the dashboard eerything seemed to be working just fine , so I told my daughter if it was our car burning I supposed there would be an indicator that would tell us that something was wrong with the vehicle ,about 3 minutes later my daughter said she saw smoke again , so my first thought was to stop and check , make sure we were ok , I stopped a soon as I was able to get off the road and parked on a safe place. I stopped about 2 mins later after she told me . I turned the motor off and got ou of the truck ,, so I decided to go around and checked everywhere , when I started walking towards the front of the truck , right on front of the hood I could smell like burning very close and very strong smell , and the next thing I see as I knelt down right in front of the truck is the fan on fire . I could not believe what my eyes where looking at, so my first reaction was to go back in he car and get my kids out of the burning truck,right away she started to unbuckle her 2 yr old brother . We started running to get away from the fire , while I was calling 911. After the investigation it was determined that the fire was caused due to a manufacturer defect that the truck had on the cooling fan . That truck had a recall on June 2008 , of which I never had a notice of . Until this day im still waiting on any kind of response from Nissan. I bought the vehicle brand new so I was hoping that Nissan would take any responsibilty for it , since they endagered our lives. And I the vehicle was a total loss.

2005 Nissan Armada. . Have a hole in radiator that needs replacement. Has happened twice within the past two months. Had it replaced in August while on vacation then last week smelled the antifreeze and I took it to a dealer and they said there is a whole in the center of the radiator and we need a new radiator. We have a guard on bottom of truck to prevent this from happening and dealer says this is a rare occurrence with this model. Purchased the extended warranty and it is currently sitting at the dealer waiting to have an inspector come and see it so the warranty company can decide if it will be covered. Im still waiting for a decision on the first one which we paid out of pocket.

I purchased a Nissan Armada in April 2004 and two months later had to bring it to dealer for repair as the brakes were shuddering causing tremendous shimmy in the steering wheel. The dealership, Nissan thousand oaks, did not replace the "warped rotors", instead "switching" them around and replacing the brake pads. The additional problem of a rattle and squeaking sound from dashboard resulted in the dealership realigning the dashboard properly. Two months later I was back at the dealership to fix the brakes again. This time I demanded that the inferior rotors be replaced with higher-quality rotors. They replaced the factory-installed rotors with new rotors (told better quality rotors) and they also had to replace the brake pads again. Additionally, there I was experiencing an intermittent problem with the a/c; it would sometimes run very hot air. They checked it out and found that the clutch fan needed to be replaced; this part is on order and I will have to return for installation. Also, I asked them to once again fix a squeaking and rattling issue that seemed to be coming from the dashboard again and also intermittent failure of the stereo controls located on the steering wheel. According to their mechanics, the sound problem and stereo controls problem did not occur while my vehicle was in their possession. A week later, August 12, 2004, I had to return to have the clutch fan replaced and this time I also requested that one of their mechanics drive the vehicle with me so that I could point out the squeaking issue. The mechanic heard the sound problem this time and I am told they will try to fix this issue. I have not had a problem again, as yet with the stereo controls on the steering wheel.
