Twice, while I thought the vehicle was in park, it began to roll. The first time I caught it right away and igrnored it. The second time was Tuesday March 11, 2014. I arrived and work and parked. It was dark. Put the truck in park, turned off the engine and lights; when I opened the door, I could hear the wind rushing by (I was parked in a parking lot (very slight decline. ) anyway, got back in, slammed on the brakes, but still managed to hit the bushes (small trees) in front of me. Why am I able to shut of the car if it's not in park like it says?.

I have 109,000+ miles on my 2008 Nissan Armada. While driving home I noticed my rear window had clouded and within a few seconds I saw my rpms rev to over 4000. I disengaged the cruise control to prevent it from trying to maintain my speed of 70 mph. At that point I lost the drive from the transmission. Luckily I was able to coast to a stop on the shoulder of an exit without an accident. Once stopped I checked to see if the transmission would engage enough for me to drive it into a service station parking lot; it did. I looked at the vehicle and had transmission fluid from the driver's side front wheel to the rear end of the vehicle. I found fluid accumulated in the front skid pan. Being out of warranty I contacted the Nissan dealer I purchased the vehicle from and a transmission specialist company to discuss. Nissan dealer told me they know of no problems Nissan is having like this, but I would have to replace the transmission, oil cooler, and radiator. . . . Approximately $7,000. 00+. The transmission specialist I called immediately told me the problem with my vehicle as soon as I mentioned I lost drive power. He told me I have the same problem with the transmission oil cooler cracking allowing water to enter the transmission causing damage the two Nissan Armadas he had recently repaired. He told me to check with Nissan before doing anything because Nissan had to extend transmission warranties on several models. They use the VIN # for legibility. I contacted Nissan (1-800-Nissan 1). They said my VIN # wasn't in the program so it is not covered even though I have the same problem that their other vehicles are having. How is this possible? other problems from the beginning. . . 4 fuel sending units - still inaccurate, several attempts to repair back camera system including replacing it - still blanking out or scrolling out of control, and roof console just dropping off.

On approximately September 24, 2013 I was driving down my street heading to the store. When approaching a traffic light, I applied the brakes and the brake light went on and I had sudden loss of braking power, with a grinding noise, loose braking motion. The brake pedal actually went all the way down to the floor panel. I was able to stop vehicle, although I had approximately 70-80% reduced braking power. Imagine how scary it was to try and stop a 6,000lbs vehicle with only 20% of your normal braking power. I came within inches of hitting the vehicle in front of me. I turned the vehicle off and back on and problem was gone when I restarted. I took it in to my mechanic, who attempted to see the problem for himself. However, it did not repeat the same symptoms. Therefore, he couldn't diagnose the problem. A few days later, it happened again. I went immediately went to my mechanic so that he could see the problem for himself. Unfortunately, he wasn't in but one of his employees test drove the vehicle. Since I didn't turn off the vehicle this time, he was able to experience the trouble I was having. I returned to my mechanic the next day and he advised me that I should contact Nissan to find out if it's a recall item since his research showed that many people have complained about the same exact problem. I have already sent inquiries through the Nissan website. However, no response has been given. I have had re-occurrences on numerous occasions and the frequency has been increasing. As a matter of fact, as of recently, now all the lights on my dashboard go on for no apparent reason, then I lose braking power. I use my vehicle for work. This could become a real issue. Especially if it results in an accident or worse. Why is Nissan not owning up to their responsibilities?.

On the listed date above our family was on en route to our vacation destination, traveling in our Armada with camper in tow. While going thru the mountains in virginia we had lost all power to our transmission causing us to pull over onto the shoulder of the expressway. After some time we where finally able to get towed to a dealership in covington. As soon as the service manager looked at the vehicle he new exactly what had happened. He explained that the tail pipe had disconnected from the muffler and that the hot exhaust burned up the wire harness that controlled all the power to the transmission. This they had seen and fixed 4 to 5 times at this dealership. My complaint is that the piping from the muffler some how eroded away and disconnected allowing the exhaust to burn up the wire harness, as well as the hose that supplies the compressed air to the air shocks. This to me is a very serious safety issue. Fortunately we were in the right hand lane and no other vehicles were near to cause a potential accident. We were able to get over safely although we had lost all transmission power going up this mountain. Not sure if anybody else has reported this safety issue. But Nissan must know about it based on the service manager seeing this that many times. Why would one have your electric wiring running so close to a potential hot source that could disable your vehicle while driving? I recently was talking to a coworker who has a 2004 Armada and told him about what happened to us. He had said that he just had his tail pipe welded back on but had it done at a muffler shop so this was not documented at a dealership. He had said that he could smell something burning but he had no other issues. He was lucky and he may want to check it out because of the experience that I had. Please look into this because I feel it is a serious safety issue.
