2017 Nissan Armada Back-over prevention (rear camera) Problems

“BCI malfunction indication comes on while driving and the car intermittently doesn’t start. According to Nissan this issue has caused recalls but my vehicle is not listed with any recalls. It is causing safety concerns while driving, as well as caused me to be stuck places sometime for hours at a time due to the vehicle not starting. I have taken it to the shop and they have been unable to recreate this issues as it typically happens while driving and then once it doesn’t start the proper way for a full day it starts just fine.”

“My vehicle was having intermitten BCI (Backup Collision Intervention) malfunction lights on the dash. On one occurrence it caused my vehicle to slam on the brakes suddenly at 20mph, it is definitely a safety issue. I replaced both brake switches which solved it temporarily but now it is on constantly. It has been scanned with various Nissan scan tools and no errors are found. I have read endless forum posts of Armada owners having this problem and the dealerships are giving them the run around with no clear solution.”

“Bci malfunction light comes on after driving for about one mile and will stay like that till the vehicle is turned off. The cruise control will not work during this time. On other online forum a lot of Nissan owners have the same issue but Nissan dealership said that there is no recall on this. I did purchase new brake switches both of them and it got worse. A bunch of other lights come on and the car will not start at all. I removed the new brake switches and cleaned the old ones. Put them back and is doing the same thing were after one mile the bci light will come on.”

“The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Armada. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH, the stop lamp switch warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the switch was related to Back Over Prevention feature. The vehicle was taken the local dealer and was diagnosed and repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.”

“BCI Malfunction warning appeared on dashboard and immediately triggered all of the following lights to appear on dashboard: lane assist, rear collision, front collision, ABS, lane assist, 4wd. Within 2 days car then started to apply breaks while trying to pull forward to park. Further escalated same week to applying breaks randomly while driving down the road with no obstructions in any lane. This poses a major safety hazard to all occupants of car along with others on the road as it can cause a collision of this car slows suddenly without warning.”
