2011 Nissan Armada

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was an abnormal burning odor coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that one day, upon exiting the vehicle with the engine running, there was heavy black smoke coming from the front passenger’s seat. The contact alerted the business at her location about the failure and obtained buckets of water to assist the contact. The contact used a knife to cut out parts of the seat and poured water directly on the smoke. Once the Fire Department arrived at the scene, the smoke was extinguished, and the vehicle was inspected to ensure that there was no presence of a fire. No injuries were reported. The contact was not informed if a fire report was filed. The contact stated that the driver’s side seat warmer was activated at the time of the failure; however, the passenger’s side seat was not occupied, and the seat warmer should not have been activated. Despite the failure, the contact resumed normal operation of the vehicle. The contact called the dealer and was referred to the NHTSA Hotline. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired; however, the front passenger’s seat was removed from the vehicle. The failure mileage was 200,000.

The Electrical components went out in the steering wheel. 1st the radio and controls went out and then the horn eventually stopped working, had to pay $300 for the part itself and even the dealership didnt have it I had to order from a specialty shop. Took all day to repair. The airbag light is constantly on but there is nothing wrong with the air bag and has been reset but it stays on. The driver side window wont roll up half the time the electrical component has went out. Sometimes it rolls down by itself. Headlights have water in them and hard to keep out after replacing them. After only having it a few months had to replace the engine bc it kept smoking. Thank goodness for warranties and at 1st they wasnt going to replace it.

MY NISSAN ARMADA CAUGHT FIRE. MY FRONT DRIVER SEAT GOT VERY HOT TO THE POINT OF BURNING. PULLED OVER TO GET AN APPLICATION FOR MY CHILD'S DAYCARE. PULLED MY SON OR TO GO WITH ME AND LEFT MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WATCHING A MOVIE WHILE I WENT IN BY THE TIME I REACHED THE DOOR I HEAR MY KIDS YELLING. I TURNED AND LOOKED THE CAR WAS FILED WITH SMOKE. THANK GOD FOR GOOD HEARTED PEOPLE THAT HELP ME GET THE KID'S OUT THE CAR. I'M CONTACTING A LAWYER ABOUT THIS.

THE CAR TOTALLY SHUT DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME THAT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IT SAW THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. 4 DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED THE DEALER REPLACED THE WHOLE COMPUTER. I NO LONGER HAVE THE SUV. *TR
