“Bought a new 2018 Nissan Armada in dec 2018 in the evening. Not thinking much about it purchased my new SUV and drove home. Shortly after my purchase I noticed in the sun that my truck paint didn't look quite right. After washing I noticed a couple paint chips around the door area that were quite significant. Contacted Nissan promptly about this issue. After taking to a Nissan collision center and being told its a bad quality paint and will only be correct with being stripped down to the metal and redone, this was completely disregarded by Nissan. …”
NHTSA complaint #11186978, filed 2019-03, 2,000 miles“While driving, the brakes will engage involuntary and most the lights on the dashboard light up. A message bci malfunction appears. Car can not accelerate at a safe speed until car is parked and restarted. Sometimes it will not start up immediately, leaving the occupants of the vehicle stranded.”
NHTSA complaint #11342984, filed 2020-08, 65,000 miles“During normal driving, bci light will appear and then all dash warning lights and car will handle sluggishly. Upon stopping and attempting to restart car, vehicle will not start for upwards of 30 minutes. Once vehicle is in park and vehicle is restarted...gear shift cannot be moved from park to drive. This has endangered my family by occuring at traffic lights at busy intersections and unprotected railroad crossings. Please investigate this before someone is killed because of this defect.”
NHTSA complaint #11364524, filed 2020-10, 55,000 miles“BCI malfunction I went to start my car and had a bunch of warning lights in my dashboard along with my car not wanting to start. The alert my car gave me was BCI malfunction. I don’t see a recall but upon looking up the information about this it’s really dangerous when switching lanes your car can apply the brakes on you and I have had my car for a year and 2 months and already having a serious problem like this? I’m upset! Repair hasn’t been done yet but photos are showing what my dashboard looked like when it happened”
NHTSA complaint #11511663, filed 2023-03“Component or system unknown other than personal research. Suspect break sensor or possibly called stop lamp. Again, not positive. My Armada randomly will not start, leaving me stranded many times (with children). When I push the start button, sometimes the car shakes while making a horrible sound and trying to start but never starts. It has to be jumped off before it will start. Sometimes, it just clicks and does nothing. We took to our local Midas, who found no codes triggered, battery, alternator, starter etc all good. …”
