“The rear overhead console broke off. Luckily it did not occur while we were driving as it would have startled us greatly and an accident could have easily occurred. Also it is right above where my children sit and could have caused harm to their head, neck or eye which are all very critical areas of the body especially for a developing child.”

“Nissan Armada 2008: went out to get something out of my truck, found the whole center roof panel down hanging on by wiring. Since it was the holiday I called Nissan dealership the following day for replacement part. I was given cost $2600.00. I tried just getting plastic shell, but told plastic shell isn't sold separate. This part was made with a cheap plastic clamps that broke with screws still in place.”

“Today I noticed a crack in my overhead console. My intentions were to take it to a Nissan dealer after I got off from work. I was in motion on a city street as I was on my way to work. I stopped at a stop light. Once the light turned green and I began to drive, the next think I know my entire console falls nearly hitting me in the face. It was a sunny day, no speed bumps or abnormal road conditions were involved.”

“When entering into the vehicle we noticed the front portion of the center overhead console was sagging. We opened the first compartment and the piece in which the screw is placed into to connect the console to the roof of the vehicle cracked off and had fallen off causing the console to longer be connected. Had this occurred while driving, it could have caused an accident. This is a safety issue.”

“Emergency brake cable broke while driving on the highway and caused all the tires to lock up. When the cable broke it wrapped around the left rear axle causing that to break as well as the differential seal. We never use the e brake on this vehicle. It is very odd that the cable would just break. I feel like this is a manufacturer problem and should be looked into. Cables breaking and tires locking up could be very dangerous/ fatal. The estimated repair quote to fix this is 2325.00”
