SUVs continue to dominate the road, with many people choosing to drive the 2019 Nissan Armada. The new model claims to provide “intelligence with attitude,” but it appears that it is more conducive of arrogance, without any care for the customer. This Nissan SUV suffers from complaints about the electrical system, structure and service brakes.

In today’s vehicle, the electrical system is in control of just about everything. If the manufacturer didn’t take time perfecting this system, it will show – just like it does with the Armada.
Here is one detailed Edmunds review to pay attention to. “The technology controls are a hot mess. Not easy to navigate and just programmed backwards. My SL has the collision avoidance system which will hit the brakes for you if you’re not slowing down quick enough. It works great and the manual says it should almost always be on, but the default is off?!? You have to remember to turn it on every Time you start. It makes no sense. If someone is in your blind spot the blind stop indicator light is too dim. It’s sometimes hard to tell if it’s even on. It you turn on your blinker but someone is in the blind spot it chimes quickly which is great but the volume is so low it’s hard to hear! Neither is adjustable from what I could find. Here’s the biggie. The SOB many times just simply won’t start. Not a battery, key Fob, or mechanical issue….it’s the electronics, electric control unit, or brake sensor. I’ve had it less than four months and it wouldn’t start as it should at least 20 times. As I write this this is the second time I had to have it towed to the dealer because i couldn’t get it to start for over a full day. Many times it won’t start but you let it sit for 5-30min it would somehow reset itself then start. Stopping to fill up or to leave work is a way to stressful situation because I may get stranded. I’m currently documenting and preparing for legal action if they can’t or won’t fix it. I’m not paying for a $35K driveway ornament. This is not an uncommon problem with the newer Armadas or Q56’s from online blogs but Nissan hasn’t cracked the code on how to fix.”
Wow! That’s a lot that could go wrong with a vehicle. Yet, it’s not all of the problems occurring. In fact, there has been a recall related to the back-up camera system. NHTSA Campaign Number 19V654000 states that over a million vehicles might suffer from a lack of a back-up image, making it more likely to experience an accident. Apparently, the company figures people will move out of the way when they see the reverse lights.
HAD BATTERY REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2019 AND BRAKE SWITCH DUE TO VEHICLE NOT STARTING. I HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED. NOW, HAVING SAME ISSUE WITH VEHICLE NOT STARTING. HAVING IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP
If someone is looking for a low-budget SUV, they aren’t going to want an Armada. With that extra expense spent, customers expect that the vehicle will be solidly built and durable, but that’s not the case.
Here’s another Edmunds review. “My Nissan has a very bad, bad paint job with paint chips all over. Nissan refuses to deal with the problem. I also have an irritating noise in the dash that goes away only when you press on it.”
It turns out that other structure-related issues occur with the Armada, including trouble with the outside mirrors. Service Bulletin #NTB17-023c states that the outside mirror could be loose at its base and require repair. The bigger question is, how are these vehicles leaving the assembly plant with loose parts and no one is noticing? What happened to quality control? Somebody might be sleeping on the job.
Finally, it’s time to look at the service brakes. Without a properly working brake system, owners have trouble stopping and slowing down, thereby creating a safety hazard on the road.
Here’s just one NHTSA complaint. “Hissing noise coming from the brake pedal area when it’s depressed. Thought it was a brake booster issue and notified the dealer immediately. The corporate rep told the dealer that it is completely normal because the booster is not manual but electrical. The noise continues to come from the pedal area like a big rig.”
While the Armada is a larger SUV, nothing on it should be compared to a big rig. Yet, that’s what this complaint states. In conjunction with the braking concern, it appears there are also issues with the steering system. Service Bulletin #NTB19-081 says that while turning at low speeds, this SUV might face a juddering movement from the steering wheel. To fix the defect, the company must replace the power steering high pressure piping with a newer, updated part that is supposed to work better. Whether it’s impossible to steer or hard to stop, the Armada has become a lemon in the eyes of many consumers.
HISSING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AREA WHEN IT’S DEPRESSED. THOUGHT IT WAS A BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE AND NOTIFIED THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY. THE CORPORATE REP TOLD THE DEALER THAT IT IS COMPLETELY NORMAL BECAUSE THE BOOSTER IS NOT MANUAL BUT ELECTRICAL. THE NOISE CONTINUE TO COME FROM THE PEDAL AREA LIKE A BIG RIG.
Think you have a lemon? Sit back and let the experts work out your lemon case at no cost to you. The law makes Nissan pay legal fees. You may be able to get your lemon out of your life. Every year, auto manufacturers buy back, replace or pay cash settlements to thousands of ‘lemon’ owners like you.

Description | Despite two new batteries, within 10 months, I have been stranded several times when the car would not start. I checked with my local mechanic and the alternator is working correctly, but apparently there is a sensor that only works the alternator when doing non-city driving. I checked with nissan today and even though this is clearly a defect, they charge 0 to disable the faulty sensor and do not consider it a design flaw |

Description | Have had several issues with the battery draining when nothing is on. Over the 2. 5 years since I've owned the vehicle, this has been a constant problem. The vehicle has been to the dealership on several occasions and I was told that a wire from the computer to the electrical system was causing the problem. The dealer also told me they had to call nissan headquarters to try to troubleshoot the problem. There are several forums online discussing how everyone knows this is a known problem with the armada, but nothing is being done. Went to buy a new battery today because it would not start or jumped, but was told the battery was actually good. |

Description | Repeatedly drained battery, and won't start. Nissan dealership has the worst scheduling system that takes 1 week to get an appointment. Still unknown issue, car turns on, replaced battery worked for one week and then issue appeared again. The armada drains the battery for no reason. The frontal collision warning comes on while driving even if no car are near and stays on. Car has power but will not start or release the gear to neutral. This has happened on several occasions and then it starts later after a jump. Can't turn car off or I will get stranded. |

Description | Repeated issue of car randomly not starting. Ironically was at dealer on 4/11/22. I was told that car wasn't giving error of an issue. Today on 4/12/22 car would not start in the am when I was leaving for work. Jump started it and drove to work. Got off work, stopped at gas station and car would not start when I attempted to leave gas station. Had to get jump in order to drive it home. This is absolutely ridiculous and annoying for me to have this repeated issue while only having the car for 1 1/2 years. What is even more frustrating is that nissan has yet to diagnose/fix the issue. They are very much aware that it's a wide spread issue as multiple complaints from multiple people have been made. |

Description | Rear suspension failed while I was sitting in parked car. I heard a pop and then felt the back of the suv drop low to the ground. Had it towed to nissan dealer and was told the pop noise I heard was the air bag for the rear suspension. There was no warning for this issue. I had to replace the entire rear suspension for 1500 dollars. |

Description | While driving car on highway the rear felt like it was going one way while I was steering another. Took to dealer that just replaced rear suspension on 2/23/22. They saw that the rear tires were worn on the inside to the point of exposed wires. The tires checked out fine on 2/23/22 which indicates an issue on their end. They could not get the rear to align, tried to sell me rear tires (which weren't bad before they worked on the rear suspension). |

Description | Randomly will not start after normal use. Just purchased in nov 2020. Started having non start issue by april 2021. Returned to dealer who states brake sensor needs to be replaced but want to charge hundreds of dollars. It is clearly a nissan issue as many others report the same issue. Literally can work fine, drive to work and will not start after my standard 8 hour shift! Suv will only start after getting a jump start. Issue will randomly occur again in a few days, weeks, or months. Car cost too much to experience this issue that nissan wants the consumer to pay for when it is clearly a defect. |

Description | 12/2/2021 suv accelerated on its own incident happened in my daughters driveway. Suv is available for inspection I have possession as of 1/22/22 picked up from nissan dealership. I pulled in the her driveway then I backed up so I would be half on the driveway and half on grass in the event her or her husband needed to leave backed up the car and soon as I put the car in drive the car accelerated on its own. I pushed my foot on the brake pedal as hard as I could would not stop till it hit my daughters car which then shoved her new car through her garage door. A warning message came up on the screen stating sonar malfunction as this was all going on. There was a police report filed that same day. Car was taken to nissan dealership we were told to leave the car and contact nissan consumer hotline. I called they said they would assign someone to the case and they would call me. The first contact from the nissan consumer hotline case manager was1/3/2022. This person was very hard to reach. Called me and stated inspection would be done in a couple weeks she would contact me when she had a date. She calls me the same day they were doing the inspection. Then called me back on 1/21/2022 to inform me the inspection results were in. Stated they could find anything wrong and were unable to duplicate. When I went to pick up my nissan suv we were handed a paper from the inspection did not have any details regarding the test. What did they do to come to the conclusion there is nothing wrong? They code is gone that came up when car was accelerating (sonar malfunction) . They told us the car is safe to drive. I have had so much anxiety about driving period since this incident. Since nissan stated it's safe to drive my husband said he would we have no choice the day nissan called back to inform us of that we're be a scheduled inspection. I called back forgot to ask a few questions . Is the car safe we can drive this was before inspection results no return call. |

Description | 2019 nissan was purchased aug 2020 from vallejo nissan(ca). October 20' the armada wouldn't start, I took it to the tracy nissan dealership as I have the nissan plus extended warranty. Tech said it was the battery which was not covered. I purchased a new battery with max cranking amps. Jan 28, 2021 I took the car back to dealership as it failed to start again(#2). Nissan tech said the negative battery terminal cable was loose. Feb 3, 2021 I took the car back to tracy nissan as it failed to start (#3). Nissan tech replaced the stop lamp switch which he stated was the reason why the armada wouldn't start. Feb 20th, armada again would not start (#4). Took it to dealer feb 22nd and was told a few days later(feb 27th) that a nissan regional technician was contacted and they had to update the "rapid charge" system in the armada and they were "pretty sure" the problem has been repaired. My wife arrived at nissan on feb 27th and armada again, would not start(#5). This was while it was still in the nissan dealer lot. March 1st I was contacted by nissan tech who stated my battery has low cranking amps due to the update they had to do to the rapid charge system and asked me to replace the battery... Again! Four of the five times the vehicle wouldn't start it was parked in my driveway, the fifth time it was parked at the dealership. |

Description | I purchase my nissan armada in april 2019. In november 2019 the car left me stranded with a death battery. I had to get it jump started and then drive it to the dealership, a low battery. This happened again in december 2019, same issue , they checked and changed the the battery. This year I had the same issue 4 times already sometimes parked at my house some at public areas, through out the year, the first two times they had to jump started . The third time the mechanic they sent couldn't started, since I was stranded in a public parking lot another person had to help. The fourth time the towing company could not get it started and it had to be towed. They have checked the ignition, the battery, the electrical and they can't find what is making the battery drain power and leave it useful. The dealerships respond is, to drive it longer distance once a week or to buy a power battery for my house to charge it once a week! The car is still in the shop since I will not take this as a logical explanation, for a new car with only 9. 800 miles. Their solutions are 1- to buy a larger battery at my cost and lose the warranty from them ,2- buy a battery tender to charge my car once a week ( at my own cost) 3- buy a new car ( our request to see options) and for them is a regular tradeoff. They can't find the problem and their solutions are not logical. Compared to other models and brands, with even less driving habits than mine , I don't see them having to go through this or charging their cars at home!! They don't have an answer and their solution as they tell me won't guarantee the car will work. And the worst part they all cost me money! It is sad that my investment and reliability on a family car is not giving me the confidence, safety and is a hazel when this happens. I have my toddler to transport and I hate to be stuck somewhere with no help. |

Description | 2019 armada with just over 5000 miles. Dead battery towed or jumped 5 times. Recall switch replaced. The problem still continues. Seems like a dead battery just 15 minutes after shutting off . We called but wrecker was a problem so we used a jump start. Battery is suppose to be a brand new one dealer said when we drove and dropped off at dealership this a. M. Have no idea how it could just be the battery. It shows it's charged once started. We live in a rural area and of course like anyone we need a dependable car. Seeing others having such problems tells us nissan may be a car we return as a lemon. Each time cell service has been very limited. Texting worked so I could get my husband a tow truck. Nissan has our record we will obtain and keep. Last night all lights etc. We're operating just no start or attempt to start with ignition. Then in a few minutes all was dead. Door would not even unlock to let us in after getting jumper cables but after a few minutes and repeated attempts it unlocked. |

Description | When I am towing my 4000 lb trailer, using a weight distribution hitch, set up properly by my rv specialist, with either unloaded or with a loaded weight not exceeding even 6000 pounds, the armada sinks in the back end in a way that the rear tires come extremely close to the wheel well rims. My rv specialist is very concerned that if I am driving and hit a bump or hole, the tire could strike the wheel well rim and cause a blow out or major accident. They are concerned the spring ratio is not designed properly for the armada (which has a tow package and is supposedly capable of towing 8500 pounds). I have brought this issue to nissan north america's attention and they will not even take a look at the problem, instead telling me that if an accident occurs, it is covered under my warranty! |

Service department suggested to continue to press the brake and push start button while I waited for road side assistance tow. After about 15 min the vehicle started. Minutes later the vehicle was on but would not move out of park. Continued to attempt while waiting for tow again and it eventually went out of park. The next day it would not start again and eventually did. Dropped off at dealer for service. Picked up that afternoon and was told they replaced the brake switch. I drove less than a mile away and the bci malfunction message came on again and displayed other warning lights again as well. I was back at the dealership within 5 minutes of departing and placed in the same small loaner vehicle that did not fit my family. Picked it up my armada the next day around noon and was told they now replaced the brake sensor. Drove off and made one stop on my way back to work which is 4 miles from the dealership and before I made it there the bci malfunction light came on again. After much conversation and frustration the vehicle is back at the dealership for the 4th time for the same problem.

I purchase my Nissan 2019 Armada in November 2018 and I have been having problems with the vehicle. It has less than 39,000 miles on it and it too doesn’t start . It’s hit or miss … I’ve replaced the battery on my own . I’ve done ALL the required services on it and have nothing but disappointment and anxiety about this $800.00 a month vehicle gas or maintenance NOT included …
The absolute worst car I ever owned. I bought a 2019 Nissan Armada and had NOtHiNG but problems!!! I pay $600 a month and half of the time of it being owned, I can’t even drive it because the battery dies and I have to have replaced or right now, it won’t even start. And if it does start, it doesn’t go out of park. DO NOT. iY!! It’s been nothing but stress and tears for me and wouldn’t recommend to anybody.
Was talked into buying a Nissan Armada 2019 Platnium Reserve by salesman instead the vanilla Armada we test drove. Once on the road, GPS was very outdated (map update $130), Blutooth works intermittently, Nissan Connect services faulty or out of service (no explaination of subscrucption tiers), no compatibility with Android Auto and little compatibility with Android in general. Back seat inputs very outdated and little compatibility with devices common since 2010. Continued diminihsing Bluetooth functionality, map update ineefectual, no analog input for phones, USB inputs not configured for data (as claimed in manual). In service for 60 days and no solution.
