5 Seats problem of the 2017 Nissan Armada

Failure Date: 02/20/2020

There are several electrical problems with this vehicle that through research has proven to be a problem with several people with this vehicle. The speedometer lights only illuminate half of the numbers, which can cause an issue when its dark and you can't see your speed. The battery seems to be drained in about a year after installing new battery. The right rear tv in the headrest does not work properly as well as the cooled and heated seats on the driver side. This does not necessarily cause a safety problem, but it does seem to be assisting in draining the battery. This morning the car would not start, but when trying to turn the car off the vehicle remained on, no matter what was tried to turn off. It is a fear that the vehicle will cut off while driving and would put the driver and passengers in danger. This has been an ongoing issue and Nissan claims that this is a personal issue, due to it not being under warranty. When forums are created and several people are having the same issue, it is concerning and Nissan needs to take care of this situation.

6 Seats problem of the 2017 Nissan Armada

Failure Date: 11/12/2019

I drive a 2017 Nissan Armada that caught fire!!! we purchased this vehicle March of this year. My heated seat malfunctioned and caught my pants and my seat on fire while I was driving with two-2- small children!!! Tuesday morning November 12th, 2019 I was driving my 7 year old to school with my 3 year old with us when I started to feel a pain in my left leg. I lifted my leg which then I saw smoke and could smell something was burning. All this happened while I was driving with 2 small children strapped into their carseats. When I noticed the hole and black marks in my sweatpants and a hole in my driver seat I immediately turned off the heated seat button. We could of wrecked into another vehicle that most likely would of had another kid in the car. Not only was my children's lives and my life at risk but all those people's lives around me taking their kids to school, too. It was one of the most scariest days of my life. I am terrified to drive this vehicle now. We could had died!!! I bought this vehicle because I wanted heated seats, now I will never use heated seats again. I am truly traumatized from this experience. My experience with Nissan corporation has not made the situation better but worse. See also odi 11280207.

My Nissan Armada caught fire. My front driver seat got very hot to the point of burning. Pulled over to get an application for my child's daycare.

I turned and looked the car was filed with smoke. Thank god for good hearted people that help me get the kid's out the car. I'm contacting a lawyer about this.

8 Seats problem of the 2008 Nissan Armada

Failure Date: 10/12/2013

The passenger side front seat adjuster motor caught the under side of the seat on fire while no one touched the seat adjuster. For some reason the adjuster motor heated up and when my wife, child, and mother had to pull off of the interstate due to smoke, I was luckily behind them and got the family out of the car and then looked under the seat and saw 3 inch flames coming out of one of the adjuster motors. I was able to pull the motor out from under the seat after I poured a water bottle over the motor and used two pairs of gloves to keep from burning my hands. From looking at the adjuster motor after pulled from the vehicle one end was completely gone as it melted and burned off the plastic cover. It also burned a couple of holes in the carpet under the seat. I cannot believe that a motor would just catch on fire and after taking the vehicle to randy reed Nissan, the service department stated the seat adjuster was stuck in the "on" position. The question I have is how can it stick in the on position when we are not touching the seat adjusters. Lastly, since my wife stated she smelled a burnt smell while the vehicle was in the off position, what if the adjuster caught fire while in the garage and cause the vehicle to burn and catching the house on fire. I say this because the adjustor would have caught fire while the vehicle was off. It had nothing to do with having the vehicle on. There should be a safety switch to keep something like that from happening. It also caused $3,600 in repair which we have not completed yet.

9 Seats problem of the 2004 Nissan Armada

Failure Date: 09/01/2005

Brake jutter, grinding, shaking when braking. Abs vdl slip brake lights up on dash--unable to turn off. Stopping vehicle and restarting corrects the problem sometimes; other times the light stays on. Brake pads originally replaced early after purchase in 2005 when the vehicle was still under warranty. The vehicle is rarely driven--there is approximately 36k miles on the vehicle--but the problem has been persistnet over the years when driven. Lately, I have been driving the vehicle more often and the problem is continuing and it is more apparent that there is a problem with the vehicle brakes. I am also experiencing problems with the lift gate as it recently stopped functioning when pressing the key fob or either of the switches inside the vehicle. I began opening and closing the lift gate manually and now it will not close securely, I. E. , it is not getting that final seal when closed. In addition, the front passenger window no longer goes up or down and does not work when using the driver's or passenger switch. Finally, the driver's seat does not reset to the position programmed when the engin starts and turns off. I decided to research the internet today and was quite surprised to see that there are so many others who are experiencing the same problem with their 2004 amada. Called a local Nissan dealer today and they were well aware of the problem. Just as so many have written all over the internet, the dealer suggest that you bring the vehicle in when the brake light issue is displayed so that they can perform diagnostic test.
