Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “The power sunroof exploded into thousands of pieces. It is available for inspection currently upon request. Thankfully I was parked and had only started the vehicle so nobody was injured but this could have injured someone if I had the cover open. Additionally flying debris had I of started driving could have been dangerous for other drivers and pedestrians. The vehicle is being inspected at the dealership tomorrow to confirm and repair of the sunroof. …”

NHTSA complaint #11726555, filed 2026-03

Electrical system: “On July 29, 2025, while pulling into the driveway, my 2023 Nissan Armada experienced a complete electrical and brake failure. I put the vehicle in Park, and the entire dash and infotainment screen went black while the engine was still running. The vehicle began rolling forward even though it was in Park and bumped into the house. (Minimal damage thankfully) When I tried to stop it, the brake pedal went completely to the floor with no braking power at all. The shifter was locked in PARK, and I could not put it into Reverse or Neutral. …”
