“Bought new Armada in november 2004. It has been at the service center at bankston lewisville twice now. Repeat problem with brake failure and steering wheel shaking. Unibody creaks all the time. 2nd row seat belt failed twice, which threw my baby and her car seat into the back of the driver's seat!!! Dash and consoles rattle all the time. Wind noise is horrible! Dealer said they will work on it. I called Nissan consumer affairs and are waiting for a response from a regional specialist.”

“Seat belts do not retract properly, get caught in door and tighten up with any movement, even looking left to right at opposing traffic. It is frequently necessary to un-hook seat belt and adjust which could potentially result in a dangerous event. Nissan refuses to replace seat belts when this safety issue was brought to their attention. The seat belts have been recalled only on certain VIN numbers - since mine is not included they will not correct.”

NHTSA complaint #10425691, filed 2011-09

“While driving at 35 MPH consumer applied the brakes and passenger who was seated on the front passenger seat almost hit the windshield. The seat belt didn't hold the passenger, consumer indicated the problem was the design of the front passenger seat. The dealership indicated to the consumer they received complaints every day on this issue, and they did not know how to fix it. The front passenger seat is set at a downward angle.”
