2019 Nissan Armada

Randomly will not start after normal use. Just purchased in Nov 2020. Started having non start issue by April 2021. Returned to dealer who states brake sensor needs to be replaced but want to charge hundreds of dollars. It is clearly a Nissan issue as many others report the same issue. Literally can work fine, drive to work and will not start after my standard 8 hour shift! SUV will only start after getting a jump start. Issue will randomly occur again in a few days, weeks, or months. Car cost too much to experience this issue that Nissan wants the consumer to pay for when it is clearly a defect.

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Armada. The contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle, there was difficulty in starting the vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with needing a new battery. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience a failure. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

The Armada drains the battery for no reason. The frontal collision warning comes on while driving even if no car are near and stays on. Car has power but will not start or release the gear to neutral. This has happen in several occasions and then it starts later on and no code for draining battery was found at dealer. They try to blame it on the trailer brake. I remove it and it still does the same. Trailer brake wiring was done at factory. Car only has 20428 miles.

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start up. The contact mentioned that the vehicle needed a jump start before operating as designed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer three more times and the dealer diagnosed that Electrical Control Unit (ECU) needed to be repaired. The second time the dealer diagnosed that the ECU, brake switch, and battery needed to be replaced. The last time the dealer diagnosed that the alternator module needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired each time, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

Vehicle does not recognize that the brake pedal is being depressed when trying to start the car. Pushing the start button only cycles the ignition through the on and acc options. The only way to start the vehicle is to use the remote start function on the FOB. Additionally, the vehicle experiences and displays a BCI malfunction, AEB braking warning, and traction control indicator light is now on. These errors occur while using both key FOBs even after replacing the FOB batteries. There is a Nissan Service Bulletin for replacing the brake light switch for multiple Nissan vehicles.
