“I was driving to work on the morning of 11/17/2020, when I hit a deer with a front of my SUV. The front end of my SUV was severely damaged which caused the airbag to deploy, when the airbag deployed I thought it may have burnt me instead it was emblem retaining ring from the inside of the steering wheel that holds the plastic advertisement / emblem of the vehicle come out and cut / impaled me across the neck. Which LED me to going to the er in the back of an ambulance. …”
NHTSA complaint #11383509, filed 2020-12, 266,135 miles“My finisher console/rear overhead console crashed down from the ceiling while driving. I am relieved that no one was sitting in the back seat at the time or I'm sure it would have injured the passenger. It was apparent that this part was poorly designed since it broke at all 4 hooks. It is very frustrating that the replacement part cost $1,028.04 (with tax) and an additional $165.00 in labor. Nissan should be recalling the Armada for this defect since it poses a safety risk.”
NHTSA complaint #10744440, filed 2015-07, 124,000 miles“The plastic mould panel holding the AC outlets, lights and temperature control and radio volume on the 2nd row and 3rd row seats fell off. Luckily no one was sitting behind otherwise they will get hurt and probably will cause injury. This incident happened after passing the speed reducing hump in the neighborhood . I would like to point out that this is a safety hazard that can happen anytime without warning and since this part requires no maintenance you can never tell when they will fall/dislodge from their location.”
