NHTSA complaint #11165713, filed 2019-01, 165,000 miles“Takata recall I am thinking my truck may be part of the reecall. For no reaon at all my airbag light came on. We have not had any accidents to trigger this. This is on all the time.”
NHTSA complaint #11061111, filed 2018-01, 15,000 miles“I just bought a used 2008 Nissan Armada le (48000miles) with tow package and hooked up to my small enclosed trailer (1800 gwr). I went into my house for less than 5 minutes and when I returned to the truck I saw it was completely bottomed out in the rear. I started the truck and the compressor came on and auto leveled out, but within 15 minutes of driving it was completely flat and caused severe handling issues. This is very dangerous and could lead to an accident. …”
NHTSA complaint #10491711, filed 2013-01, 48,400 miles“Multiple occurrences - while driving, the brakes begin to grind, stutter, and stop working. I had to downshift in order to slow the vehicle, and pull over. The brake light will illuminate as this occurs. After stopping the vehicle, it must be completely turned off for a few moments, and then it will go back to normal. This has also occurred while exiting the freeway - not safe! Airbag light is constantly on. Many of the electrical parts are not working. We thought Nissan would be the best vehicle to buy. But have had nothing but major problems. Please send recall for brakes and airbags”
NHTSA complaint #10717663, filed 2015-05, 100,000 miles“The airbag light is staying on. No codes read this problem. If the vehicle is running the airbag dash light remains on. The check engine light is not on.”
