2012 NISSAN ARMADA Complaints

RIGHT REAR PARKING BRAKE CABLE BRACKET SNAPPED. CABLE DROPPED DOWN ON TO RIGHT REAR DRIVE AXLE AND A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. TOOK VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY REPAIR.

AT APPROXIMATELY 45-50 THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND STALLED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER WITH NORMAL EFFORT . IT WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED. OF NOTE THIS IS MY 2ND ARMADA MY 2004 HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAN'T IMAGINE NISSAN DOES NOT KNOW AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. ANY THOUGHTS ?

LEFT REAR PARKING BRAKE CABLE BRACKET SNAPPED CAUSING THE BRAKE CABLE TO WRAP AROUND THE LEFT REAR DRIVE AXLE, PULLING THE DRIVE AXLE OUT OF THE TRANS-AXLE, AND CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE SHAFT AND DRIVE TRAIN. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD OR IN REVERSE AND WOULD DRIFT IN PARK, AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. ALSO, DUE TO THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE WRAPPING AROUND THE DRIVE AXLE, THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE HAD EVENTUALLY SNAPPED, RENDERING NO FUNCTION OF THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE. I HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE BACK UP AGAINST A CURB TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM DRIFTING WHEN IN PARK.

ON OR ABOUT 1/14/2015 I PULLED INTO MY MOTHER'S DRIVEWAY TO DROP OFF MY CHILD FOR DAYCARE. I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK, APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BECAUSE THE DRIVEWAY SITS UP HIGH, AND TURNED OFF THE ARMADA. UPON EXITING MY MOTHER'S HOUSE I OBSERVED MY VEHICLE ROLLING OFF THE DRIVEWAY ON IT'S OWN. IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL IT HIT THE CURB ACROSS THE STREET. THIS COULD HAVE LEAD TO A CRASH OR WORSE IF I HAD BEEN UNLOADING MY CHILD FROM HIS CARSEAT WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IF ONE OF MY OTHER CHILDREN WAS STANDING BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED OFF THE DRIVEWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER ON FIVE OCCASIONS FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTAKE SENSOR AND THE FUEL PUMP WERE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. UPDATED 11/24/14*LJ

I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE ONE MORNING ABOUT 3 MILES FROM HOME. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RAIN STARTED COMING IN THE CAR BC THE SUNROOF DRAIN LINES WERE IMPROPERLY WORKING AT 10% BECAUSE WHEN MANUFACTURED THEY WERE PLACED THE WRONG WAY. THIS CAUSED WATER TO POUR INTO MY CAR AS I WAS DRIVING . MY FEET WERE SOAKED AS RAINWATER POURED ON THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS. IT ALSO STARTED TO COME THROUGH THE DVD PLAYER ,THE SUNROOF WHEN CLOSED AND THE SIDE TOP PANEL IN FRONT. MY LIGHTS AND SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO GO IN AND OUT AS THEN WATER CONTINUED TO FLOOD MY CAR . MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 2 MONTHS AND HAD TO BE COMPLETELY GUTTED DUE TO THE WATER RUINING THE SEATS AND THE CARPET. NISSAN DIDN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THERE FACTORY DEFAULT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED MORE UNKNOWN PROBLEMS . WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN DEC. 2012 BRAND NEW. *TR

I HIT THE BUTTON TO CLOSE THE REAR LIFT GATE. I THEN STEPPED AWAY AND WHEN COMING BACK AROUND THE CORNER I DID NOT CUT THE CORNER WIDE ENOUGH AND WENT RIGHT INTO THE GATE WHICH CONTINUED TO CLOSE ON MY HEAD. THIS RESULTED IN A LACERATION TO MY FOREHEAD, A CONCUSSION AND A TRIP TO THE ER. AT MY ADMISSION, I WAS RUSHING AROUND THE CORNER SO I THOUGHT PERHAPS THAT MAYBE I DID NOT GIVE IT ENOUGH TIME TO SENSE ME AND RETRACT. HOWEVER, I HAVE SINCE "TESTED" THIS AUTOMATIC CLOSE FEATURE WITH MY ARM AND IT DOES NOT SENSE IT AND CONTINUES TO CLOSE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS TIME I WAS AWARE OF WHAT I WAS DOING SO I HAD TIME TO RETRACT MY ARM. I AM LEFT WITH A PERMANENT SCAR ON MY FOREHEAD BUT I FEAR THIS COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE EVEN WORSE CONSEQUENCES FOR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE FUTURE, ESPECIALLY A CHILD. *JB
