NHTSA complaint #10972193, filed 2017-04, 74,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10112259, filed 2005-02, 6,500 miles“Today I took 2004 Armada through a touch less car wash as I have done many times before.

This happened when the blower blew the water off the Armada and blew this housing down onto the rear window. Upon inspection the plastic rivets that hold the housing in place had sheered off, and the wind blew the unit down onto the window. The unit came down with enough force to break the back window and did infect scratch it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10148911, filed 2006-01, 29,795 miles“I purchased a Nissan Armada in april 2004 and two months later had to bring it to dealer for repair as the brakes were shuddering causing tremendous shimmy in the steering wheel. The dealership, Nissan thousand oaks, did not replace the warped rotors , instead switching them around and replacing the brake pads. The additional problem of a rattle and squeaking sound from dashboard resulted in the dealership realigning the dashboard properly. Two months later I was back at the dealership to fix the brakes again. …”
