“After purchasing a 2004 Nissan Armada. Took to get a alignment and he mechanic diagnosed the rear subframe/cradle was severely rusted nearly in two so much so that the sway bar had rusted through completely and was just hanging loosely. After doing some research we have seen multiple reports of this recurring issue.”

“Three months ago, the differential in my 2004 Nissan Armada needed to be replaced. The independent mechanic said that bolts were missing from the axle and he was very perplexed as to why that would be. The differential was repaired but 3 months later the four wheel drive didn't work and the axle had to be replaced. He called the Nissan dealership and they said this was extremely common in all of the Nissan armadas. They even stocked the front axles because they go through so many of them.”
