2017 Nissan Armada

I SAW THE RECALL ON THE PATHFINDERS TODAY AND I HAVE A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH MY 2017 ARMADA. SOMETHING KEEPS CAUSING MY BATTERY TO DRAIN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO SHOP TO BE INSPECTED, THE BATTERY IS OKAY, THE ALTERNATOR OKAY, AND THE STARTER OKAY. I CUT EVERY FEATURE OFF IN MY CAR BUT SOMETHING IS ELECTRICALLY DRAINING THE BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BCM NOT TOO LONG AGO BC IT KEPT FAILING. HAVE YOU GUYS HAD ANY REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING WITH OTHER PEOPLE? I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL YOUTUBE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUES AND I HAVE READ ARTICLES AS WELL. SOMETHING INTERNALLY IS PULLING AMPS WHEN IT SHOULDN'T BE. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN SUSPENSION ISSUES. CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE ISSUE MAY BE? THIS HAPPENED WHERE IT WOULDN'T CRANK A FEW TIMES PRIOR TO THIS DAY THEN I WOULD GET IT TO CRANK..NOW IT IS ALMOST EVERYTIME HAVING TO JUMP IT.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING INCORRECTLY AT LOW RPMS. I CAN CLEARLY SEE THE RPM FLUCTUATING ESPECIALLY GOING UPHILL. THIS HAPPENS 30-50 MPH.LACK OF POWER/ACCELERATION. FEELS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING IN LOWER GEARS TOO SOONER AND AND WON'T ACCELERATE UNTIL DRIVER PUSHES SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY MAKING TURNS AT STOP LIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAITED FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COCHRAN NISSAN MONROEVILLE (3355 WILLIAM PENN HWY, PITTSBURGH, PA 15235) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE ABS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000.

WENT TO START MY VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING BUT THE ENGINE WOULD START. TRIED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, LOCKED, UNLOCKED CAR THEN LEFT IT ALONE FOR 5 MINUTES AND IT FINALLY STARTED. THEN, LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE BCI MALFUNCTION WARNING AND A BUNCH OF OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. HAD TO PULL OVER, LOOK UP THIS WARNING AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS OTHERS WHO HAD THIS SAME ISSUE DID. I TURNED VEHICLE OFF, WAITED A MINUT AND TURNED IT BACK ON. WARNING CLEARES. THE NEXT MORNING MY CAR WOULDN'T START. HAD TO SWAP CARS WITH HUSBAND SO I COULD GET TO WORK. THIS MORNING I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT WOULDN'T START. I'VE NOW BEEN WAITING 3 HRS FOR A TOW TRUCK TO GET VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 40K MILES AND IS A 2017 MODEL.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAYS A BLI MALFUNCTION AND DECELERATES THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT OCCASIONALLY DOES IT WHILE IDLING AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO BE PUT IN GEAR. WHEN IT HAPPENS AT START UP, IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START AND ONLY ACTIVATES THE ACCESSORIES. THE INCIDENTS BEGAN HAPPENING AT AROUND 55,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS AND INCREASING IN FREQUENCY SINCE 6/20/20

WHILE DRIVING AT RATE OF 45 MILES PER HOUR IN THE CITY OF OXNARD, CA IN MY 2017 NISSAN ARMADA SL, THE CAR STARTED TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN TO A SPEED OF 5 MILES PER HOUR, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE ANTISKID AND 4X4 LIGHTS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THE CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO ALLOW TRAFFIC TO CONTINUE. AFTER WAITING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WITH THE CAR OFF I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THEN DROVE AS NORMAL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET LOOKED AT, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULDN'T DETERMINE THE CAUSE USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. THE CAR CONTINUES TO DRIVE NORMAL, BUT THEN STALLS AND THE SAME ISSUE ARISES.

FLASHING AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.OBD CODE INDICATED ERROR IN SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG. DEALER REPLACE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG. FLASHING AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT RETURNED. OBD CODE INDICATED SAME ERROR AS BEFORE FOR SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG. LIGHT OCCURRED DURING NORMAL DRIVING. CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE, APPROXIMATELY 17000 MILES. DEALER CAN'T DETERMINE CAUSE OF LIGHT OR HOW TO CORRECT IT.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2017 ARMADA SEEMS TO SHIFT IMPROPERLY AND EVEN SEEMS TO SHIFT PREMATURELY CAUSING A STALL OR LOSS OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE. I'VE NOTICE THIS AS I'M STARTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN SOMETIME BETWEEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, ON THE HIGHWAY, I'VE YET TO NOTICE ANY ISSUES. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED FROM BUICK/GMC IN GILROY, CA. AUGUST OF 2019. I FAILED TO NOTICE THIS ISSUE WHEN I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE.

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. *DSY *DT*DT*JB
