“My 2019 Nissan Armada has a recurring electrical issue that causes the battery to drain and the vehicle to not start, even though the battery tests “good.” This problem began last year — we took the Armada to Nissan and had to pay over $200 for a new battery, which is now less than a year old. Despite this, the issue continues. Recently, AutoZone tested the battery again and found it only 60% charged. …”
NHTSA complaint #11688924, filed 2025-09“I was driving on the Mass Pike (Rte 90) when exiting the highway the vehicle lurched and the engine started racing. Then the vehicle had no acceleration and would not go above 20 mph. I towed it to a mechanic who stated the transmission was shot. Six weeks later the vehicle was fixed and the transmission was replaced for a LOT of money!! There was no warning before the transmission broke.”
NHTSA complaint #11549351, filed 2023-10“Every time my car is in parking and I press the break to put my car on drive I heard a noise in the gear lever when I trying to put my car on revers or on drive the noise is so loud. The noise comes in the transmission. I brought my car to the dealer but they said that they don't see nothing but feel it anytime.”
NHTSA complaint #11351369, filed 2020-08“In august 2020, I had to jump start my Armada due to battery drained while parked. The very next day, same thing happened. Nissan reprogrammed ECM in september due to recall. Worked fine until october 21, when the same problem occurred again. I drove it that morning, but when I tried to start it that afternoon, it would not start and the interior just flash on and off. Had to jump start again.”
