2008 Nissan Armada

THE REAR HATCH LOCK ACTUATOR FAILS IN COOL TEMPERATURES. THIS LEAVES THE REAR HATCH UNABLE TO OPEN. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE, I WOULD BE UNABLE TO GET MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE 3RD ROW SEATING. THIS HAPPENS EACH YEAR AS SOON AS THE TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW 50. THERE ARE NUMEROUS ISSUES EXPERIENCED BY OTHER ARMADA OWNERS NOTED AT: HTTP://WWW.CLUBARMADA.COM/FORUMS/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-11055.HTML. *TR

ROOF CONSOLE CRACKED AND IS HANGING FROM THE ROOF. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND FOR THEM TO REPLACE IT ITS GOING TO COST ME 3000 THAT IS ABSURD. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NISSANS PROBLEM FOR USING CHEAP BRACKETS TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO DO A RECALL ON THESE AND FIX THEM. I OWN 3 NISSAN CARS AND AFTER THIS NOT SURE I WANT A CAR THAT WILL FALL APART AND NO ONE WANTS TO MAKE THE EFFORT TO FIX IT. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT REGARDING THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE IN MY 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. INITIALLY I RAISED CONCERN ABOUT THE CONSOLE BEING LOOSE. THIS MORNING THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL ONTO MY CHILD.I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT WHY NO RECALL WAS NEVER ISSUED WHEN THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE GOTTEN THE RUNAROUND FROM THEM. I TOOK MY ARMADA TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING TO REPAIR THE CONSOLE. I WAS TOLD THERE IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE CONSOLE IS SECURED BY PLASTIC BRACKETS THAT EVENTUALLY BREAK. THE CONSOLE CANNOT BE REPAIRED, ONLY REPLACED. TO REPLACE THE CONSOLE IS $2900. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR NISSAN'S USE OF SUBPAR PARTS. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED TO ADDRESS THIS. FORTUNATELY MY CHILD WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM PICKING MY DAUGHTER UP FORM SCHOOL. I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING FELL ON THE ROOF OF MY TRUCK. MY DAUGHTER SCREAMED MOMMY! I TURNED AROUND IN A PANIC TO SEE MY OVERHEAD CONSOLE HANGING AND IN PIECES. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO MY CRYING DAUGHTER WHO WAS SCRATCHED BY ONE OF THE PIECES THAT FELL AND BROKE BY HITTING THE MIDDLE CONSOLE. THE PLASTIC CONSOLE WAS SHATTERED AND SOME OF THE PLASTIC STILL REMAINS AROUND THE SCREWS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MORNING TO HAVE THEM REPAIR IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT FOR SURE THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE. TO MY SURPRISE THE DEALER TOLD ME IT'S NOT A RECALL ITEM AND THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT REACHED THE RECALL COMPLAINT RATIO. THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND LABOR COST OF $2,500! I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS AND TO MY SATISFACTION I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. IT'S A FACT THAT NISSAN 2008 NISSAN ARMADA AND TITAN VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS A HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING. THIS MATTER SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF ALL CONSOLES FREE OF CHARGE AND A NOTICE TO ALL OWNERS STATING (WARNING / CAUTION ADVISORY) POTENTIAL HAZARD / RISK WHILE DRIVING YOUR CONSOLE MAY FALL OR CRACK INTO PIECES WITHOUT REASON!

IS A SAFETY HAZARD THIS THING CAN BREAK IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING AND NISSAN IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR CHEAP PRODUCTS , I'VE BEEN SEARCHING AND SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I NEED HELP ON THIS MATTER IS NOT FAIR FOR CUSTOMER TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO CORRECT A COMPANY ISSUE.. WE ALREADY PAID ENOUGH MONEY ON THE VEHICLE. NOT ONLY THAT MY CAR HAD AN ENGINE ISSUE WHICH THEY REFUSE TO CHANGE WHEN I FIRST COMPLAINT THEY DID IT AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS AND HAVING A STATE TROOPER TAKE ME TO THE DEALER OR SAFETY HAZARD THE CAR USED TO SMOKE DARK SMOKE EVERY DAY ..GUESS NISSAN WAS AFRAID OF LAWSUIT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED. PLEASE HELP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR CENTER CONSOLES WERE BROKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH CENTERPIECES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,639.

LAST NIGHT READY TO LEAVE AND LOAD FAMILY INTO VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND OPENS THE BACK DOOR TO LOAD A STROLLER BUT THE DOOR DID NOT OPEN. HE KEPT LOCKING IT AND UNLOCKING WITH THE CONTROL AND DOOR HINGE AND WINDOW HINGE WERE STUCK. IN ORDER TO OPEN DOOR HE HAD TO CLIMB INSIDE VEHICLE PULL THE PLASTIC CAP OF AND PULL LEVER TO MANUALLY OPEN BACK DOOR. WE CAN HEAR IT LOCK BUT IT WONT OPEN. THE LEVELS FEEL ROUGH AND STUCK WHEN YOU PULL TO TRY AND OPEN DOOR AND WINDOW. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING FELL ON THE ROOF OF MY TRUCK. MY CHILD POINTED TO THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE. IT HAD BROKEN OFF OF WHATEVER WAS SECURING IT AND IS NOW HANGING. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS. AN OVERHEAD CONSOLE THAT CAN FALL AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING IS DANGEROUS. MY CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. *TR

I HAVE 109,000+ MILES ON MY 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED MY REAR WINDOW HAD CLOUDED AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS I SAW MY RPMS REV TO OVER 4000. I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL TO PREVENT IT FROM TRYING TO MAINTAIN MY SPEED OF 70 MPH. AT THAT POINT I LOST THE DRIVE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF AN EXIT WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. ONCE STOPPED I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ENGAGE ENOUGH FOR ME TO DRIVE IT INTO A SERVICE STATION PARKING LOT; IT DID. I LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL TO THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. I FOUND FLUID ACCUMULATED IN THE FRONT SKID PAN. BEING OUT OF WARRANTY I CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST COMPANY TO DISCUSS. NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME THEY KNOW OF NO PROBLEMS NISSAN IS HAVING LIKE THIS, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, OIL COOLER, AND RADIATOR.... APPROXIMATELY $7,000.00+. THE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST I CALLED IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE AS SOON AS I MENTIONED I LOST DRIVE POWER. HE TOLD ME I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER CRACKING ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING DAMAGE THE TWO NISSAN ARMADAS HE HAD RECENTLY REPAIRED. HE TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH NISSAN BEFORE DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE NISSAN HAD TO EXTEND TRANSMISSION WARRANTIES ON SEVERAL MODELS. THEY USE THE VIN # FOR LEGIBILITY. I CONTACTED NISSAN (1-800-NISSAN 1). THEY SAID MY VIN # WASN'T IN THE PROGRAM SO IT IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THEIR OTHER VEHICLES ARE HAVING. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? OTHER PROBLEMS FROM THE BEGINNING... 4 FUEL SENDING UNITS - STILL INACCURATE, SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR BACK CAMERA SYSTEM INCLUDING REPLACING IT - STILL BLANKING OUT OR SCROLLING OUT OF CONTROL, AND ROOF CONSOLE JUST DROPPING OFF. *TR
