“For unknown reasons the front windows (driver and passenger) will let themselves down. Have asked Nissan dealer about this several times and they said we must have hit the remote key. I don't buy this as this occurred while keys to the vehicle was in spouses purse and purse was on floor some 50 yards away. This is not first time this has occurred. This has occurred several times and we have inquired at dealer and always get same answer-someone hit the key. …”
NHTSA complaint #10485029, filed 2012-11, 61,000 miles“We own a 2008 Nissan Armada (le). We bought this brand new in nov. 2008 from Nissan dealer in illinois.we have had a real bad problem with the car not defrosting the windows and when you have more than three people in car when driving it is not safe to drive. This SUV has been in and out of dealers and they can't seem to find the problem. This is not safe to drive during the winter months, this has been going on from the first cold weather day from when we bought it. I feel this is a life safety issue that needs to be looked into.”
