NHTSA complaint #11378537, filed 2020-12, 100,000 miles“Fuel gauge and miles to go are both incorrect. I've this vehicle almost 2 years! The miles to go may show anywhere from 40 to estimated 100 then all of a sudden the car dies. I lose all control of steering, brakes, flasher does not work. Every time this has happened I've nearly gotten hit and of course stranded until someone can help me. I was told by Nissan there was a recall for this same issue in 2010 but it expired! This issue is really dangerous and whether or not recall is expired, I'm not gonna be so lucky in the end! …”
NHTSA complaint #11279853, filed 2019-11, 97 miles“Within the last two months the ABS light will appear on the dash accompanied by a loud vibration and a loss of braking power. I had the brakes replaced and that did not fix the problem. This is dangerous and could lead to a loss of braking ability on corners and at highway speeds leading to a crash. Also within the past few months the fuel guage has started to show more fuel in the tank than what is actually in the tank. I called the dealership and provided the VIN and they said that the fuel level sensor recall service had already been performed on this VIN.”
NHTSA complaint #11220680, filed 2019-06, 180,000 miles“I have 109,000+ miles on my 2008 Nissan Armada. While driving home I noticed my rear window had clouded and within a few seconds I saw my rpms rev to over 4000. I disengaged the cruise control to prevent it from trying to maintain my speed of 70 MPH. At that point I lost the drive from the transmission. Luckily I was able to coast to a stop on the shoulder of an exit without an accident. Once stopped I checked to see if the transmission would engage enough for me to drive it into a service station parking lot; it did. …”
NHTSA complaint #10550868, filed 2013-11, 109,200 miles“Fuel line came disconnected from 2008 Nissan Armada 3 weeks after dealer completed fuel gauge recall repair on this vehicle. Gasoline was leaking all over the ground causing a very dangerous and possibly fatal situation if the gasoline had been ignited.”
