2019 Nissan Armada

BCI MALFUNCTION EARRING, SHOWS ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED SINCE JANUARY, THE ENTIRE SYSTEM SHUTS OFF, PRE COLLISION, BACK UP WARNING, CRUISE CONTROL, AND SONAR SYSTEM, ALL GOES OFF. MOREOVER, THE CAR WOULD NOT START, HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKES 3 TO 6 TIME IN ORDER TO TURN THE CAR ON. MORE TO THAT, FEW TIME THE GEAR SEEMED TO BE STUCK ON PARK AND WOULDN'T SWITCH TO D OR R.

2019 NISSAN WAS PURCHASED AUG 2020 FROM VALLEJO NISSAN(CA). OCTOBER 20' THE ARMADA WOULDN'T START, I TOOK IT TO THE TRACY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AS I HAVE THE NISSAN PLUS EXTENDED WARRANTY. TECH SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY WHICH WAS NOT COVERED. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY WITH MAX CRANKING AMPS. JAN 28, 2021 I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AS IT FAILED TO START AGAIN(#2). NISSAN TECH SAID THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL CABLE WAS LOOSE. FEB 3, 2021 I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO TRACY NISSAN AS IT FAILED TO START (#3). NISSAN TECH REPLACED THE STOP LAMP SWITCH WHICH HE STATED WAS THE REASON WHY THE ARMADA WOULDN'T START. FEB 20TH, ARMADA AGAIN WOULD NOT START (#4). TOOK IT TO DEALER FEB 22ND AND WAS TOLD A FEW DAYS LATER(FEB 27TH) THAT A NISSAN REGIONAL TECHNICIAN WAS CONTACTED AND THEY HAD TO UPDATE THE "RAPID CHARGE" SYSTEM IN THE ARMADA AND THEY WERE "PRETTY SURE" THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPAIRED. MY WIFE ARRIVED AT NISSAN ON FEB 27TH AND ARMADA AGAIN, WOULD NOT START(#5). THIS WAS WHILE IT WAS STILL IN THE NISSAN DEALER LOT. MARCH 1ST I WAS CONTACTED BY NISSAN TECH WHO STATED MY BATTERY HAS LOW CRANKING AMPS DUE TO THE UPDATE THEY HAD TO DO TO THE RAPID CHARGE SYSTEM AND ASKED ME TO REPLACE THE BATTERY...AGAIN! FOUR OF THE FIVE TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE FIFTH TIME IT WAS PARKED AT THE DEALERSHIP.

ON JANUARY 4TH, 2020 WHEN WE WENT TO START THE CAR, ALL THE LIGHTS FLICKERED AND THE SEATS RATTLED FROM ELECTRICAL PULSES. THE CAR DID NOT START AT ALL. WE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 20+ TIMES. SOMETIMES WHEN WE JUMP THE CAR, IT WILL START. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE BATTERY 4 TIMES. IT IS CLEARLY NOT THE BATTERY. NISSAN NEVER HAS AN ANSWER.

ON SOMEWHAT RANDOM OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START, IN TOTAL OVER 13 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. AT TIMES IT WILL START AFTER 5 OR 6 ATTEMPTS SOMETIMES 20 ATTEMPTS. ON THE LAST 5 OCCASIONS IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL A BATTERY CHARGER OR OTHER BATTERY WAS USED. I HAVE USED THE LAST OCCASION FOR DATE OF OCCURRENCE. HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE. IT IS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE SOMETIMES AFTER A WEEK AND SOMETIMES AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS. THE LAST TIME IN NOVEMBER I HAD TO JUMP START IT 4 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. THE VEHICLE IS UNRELIABLE. THE REGIONAL REP IS NOW WORKING WITH ME AND HAVING ME TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ONE MORE TIME TO CHECK IT AGAIN.

I PURCHASE MY NISSAN ARMADA IN APRIL 2019. IN NOVEMBER 2019 THE CAR LEFT ME STRANDED WITH A DEATH BATTERY. I HAD TO GET IT JUMP STARTED AND THEN DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, A LOW BATTERY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN DECEMBER 2019, SAME ISSUE , THEY CHECKED AND CHANGED THE THE BATTERY. THIS YEAR I HAD THE SAME ISSUE 4 TIMES ALREADY SOMETIMES PARKED AT MY HOUSE SOME AT PUBLIC AREAS, THROUGH OUT THE YEAR, THE FIRST TWO TIMES THEY HAD TO JUMP STARTED . THE THIRD TIME THE MECHANIC THEY SENT COULDN'T STARTED, SINCE I WAS STRANDED IN A PUBLIC PARKING LOT ANOTHER PERSON HAD TO HELP. THE FOURTH TIME THE TOWING COMPANY COULD NOT GET IT STARTED AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED. THEY HAVE CHECKED THE IGNITION, THE BATTERY, THE ELECTRICAL AND THEY CAN'T FIND WHAT IS MAKING THE BATTERY DRAIN POWER AND LEAVE IT USEFUL. THE DEALERSHIPS RESPOND IS, TO DRIVE IT LONGER DISTANCE ONCE A WEEK OR TO BUY A POWER BATTERY FOR MY HOUSE TO CHARGE IT ONCE A WEEK! THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP SINCE I WILL NOT TAKE THIS AS A LOGICAL EXPLANATION, FOR A NEW CAR WITH ONLY 9.800 MILES. THEIR SOLUTIONS ARE 1- TO BUY A LARGER BATTERY AT MY COST AND LOSE THE WARRANTY FROM THEM ,2- BUY A BATTERY TENDER TO CHARGE MY CAR ONCE A WEEK ( AT MY OWN COST) 3- BUY A NEW CAR ( OUR REQUEST TO SEE OPTIONS) AND FOR THEM IS A REGULAR TRADEOFF. THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND THEIR SOLUTIONS ARE NOT LOGICAL. COMPARED TO OTHER MODELS AND BRANDS, WITH EVEN LESS DRIVING HABITS THAN MINE , I DON'T SEE THEM HAVING TO GO THROUGH THIS OR CHARGING THEIR CARS AT HOME!! THEY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER AND THEIR SOLUTION AS THEY TELL ME WON'T GUARANTEE THE CAR WILL WORK. AND THE WORST PART THEY ALL COST ME MONEY! IT IS SAD THAT MY INVESTMENT AND RELIABILITY ON A FAMILY CAR IS NOT GIVING ME THE CONFIDENCE, SAFETY AND IS A HAZEL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE MY TODDLER TO TRANSPORT AND I HATE TO BE STUCK SOMEWHERE WITH NO HELP.

2019 ARMADA WITH JUST OVER 5000 MILES. DEAD BATTERY TOWED OR JUMPED 5 TIMES. RECALL SWITCH REPLACED. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. SEEMS LIKE A DEAD BATTERY JUST 15 MINUTES AFTER SHUTTING OFF . WE CALLED BUT WRECKER WAS A PROBLEM SO WE USED A JUMP START. BATTERY IS SUPPOSE TO BE A BRAND NEW ONE DEALER SAID WHEN WE DROVE AND DROPPED OFF AT DEALERSHIP THIS A.M. HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT COULD JUST BE THE BATTERY. IT SHOWS IT'S CHARGED ONCE STARTED. WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND OF COURSE LIKE ANYONE WE NEED A DEPENDABLE CAR. SEEING OTHERS HAVING SUCH PROBLEMS TELLS US NISSAN MAY BE A CAR WE RETURN AS A LEMON. EACH TIME CELL SERVICE HAS BEEN VERY LIMITED. TEXTING WORKED SO I COULD GET MY HUSBAND A TOW TRUCK. NISSAN HAS OUR RECORD WE WILL OBTAIN AND KEEP. LAST NIGHT ALL LIGHTS ETC. WE'RE OPERATING JUST NO START OR ATTEMPT TO START WITH IGNITION. THEN IN A FEW MINUTES ALL WAS DEAD. DOOR WOULD NOT EVEN UNLOCK TO LET US IN AFTER GETTING JUMPER CABLES BUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND REPEATED ATTEMPTS IT UNLOCKED.

IN AUGUST 2020, I HAD TO JUMP START MY ARMADA DUE TO BATTERY DRAINED WHILE PARKED. THE VERY NEXT DAY, SAME THING HAPPENED. NISSAN REPROGRAMMED ECM IN SEPTEMBER DUE TO RECALL. WORKED FINE UNTIL OCTOBER 21, WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I DROVE IT THAT MORNING, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO START IT THAT AFTERNOON, IT WOULD NOT START AND THE INTERIOR JUST FLASH ON AND OFF. HAD TO JUMP START AGAIN.

HAVING ISSUES WITH MY DOME LIGHTS STAYING ON, ONCE ALL THE DOORS, ARE CLOSED. I'VE HAD THIS CHECKED 3 TIMES, AT 2 DIFFERENT NISSAN'S AND KNOW ONE CAN FIND THE ISSUE. I'M PUTTING IT IN THE SHOP, LATER THIS WEEK I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY, DO TO THE DOME LIGHTS, BEING ON AND I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE UNTIL MY FAMILY COMES HOME, OR MY NEIGHBOR LETS US KNOW. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH 2020.
