2018 Nissan Armada

THE ENGINE LOSES POWER SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON). WITH THE LOSS OF POWER, VEHICLE LOSES SPEED AND ACCELERATION. THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. IN ALL CASES THE LOSS OF POWER HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, THREE OF THE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY (I-10). THE SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED CREATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR ME, MY PASSENGERS AND ANY DRIVERS AROUND ME. IN ALL CASES I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, MOSSY NISSAN IN HOUSTON (MN). THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS PROBLEM I STOPPED AT A SHOP CLOSE-BY AND THE MECHANIC AT THE SHOP RESET THE ENGINE AND FIXED THE ENGINE MOMENTARILY. DETAILS OF EACH VISIT ARE: EVENT #1: 05/14/19 - A MECHANIC AT A SHOP NEAR TO WHERE THE PROBLEM HAPPENED CONNECTED A HAND-HELD DEVICE TO MY VEHICLE.THE DEVICE ISSUED A CODE. THE EASY FIX WAS TO RESET THE ENGINE, WHICH I AGREED-TO DO SINCE THE CAR WAS UNDRIVEABLE. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MN SERVICE. I DETAILED THE PROBLEM AND THE CODE GIVEN BY THE HAND-HELD DEVICE. MN WAS NOT ABLE TO ADDRESS AND FIX THE ISSUE. MN SUGGESTED THAT IF THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE TO MN WITHOUT RESETTING SO THAT THEY COULD DIAGNOSE. EVENT #2: 06/12/19 - SAME PROBLEM AGAIN (LOSS OF POWER, SPEED AND ACCELERATION). I DROVE THE CAR TO MN. PER MN, THE PROBLEM WAS A HARNESS THAT WAS REPLACED, AND THIS TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. EVENT #3: 08/12/19 - SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I DROVE THE CAR TO MN. PER MN, THE PROBLEM THIS TIME WAS THE ECM COMPUTER THAT WAS REPLACED, AND THIS TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. EVENT #4: 12/2/19 - SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I DROVE THE CAR TO MN. PER MN, THE PROBLEM THIS TIME WAS A MOTOR RELAY THAT WAS REPLACED, AND THIS TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS AN UNRELIABLE CAR AND EVEN DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES IS STRESSFUL AS I AM AFRAID OF THIS RECURRING PROBLEM HAPPENING AGAIN. THANK YOU

I WENT OUT TO MY VEHICLE WHICH UNLOCKED WITH MY POD I WENT TO START IT AND ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I JUMPED THE BATTERY AND IT STARTED INSTANTLY SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTO STORE TO CHECK THE BATTERY WHICH THEY STATED WAS A GREAT BATTERY WITH A HIGH CHARGE. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THEIR ARMADA STARTING AT TIMES AND HAVE TO DO MANY THINGS TO GET IT TO START. I HAVE ALSO HEARD AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE THAT OTHERS AROUND ME ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS WELL. I NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL START WHEN I GET IN WHICH IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. THIS OCCURED AS THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT.

BOUGHT A NEW 2018 NISSAN ARMADA IN DEC 2018 IN THE EVENING. NOT THINKING MUCH ABOUT IT PURCHASED MY NEW SUV AND DROVE HOME. SHORTLY AFTER MY PURCHASE I NOTICED IN THE SUN THAT MY TRUCK PAINT DIDN'T LOOK QUITE RIGHT. AFTER WASHING I NOTICED A COUPLE PAINT CHIPS AROUND THE DOOR AREA THAT WERE QUITE SIGNIFICANT. CONTACTED NISSAN PROMPTLY ABOUT THIS ISSUE. AFTER TAKING TO A NISSAN COLLISION CENTER AND BEING TOLD ITS A BAD QUALITY PAINT AND WILL ONLY BE CORRECT WITH BEING STRIPPED DOWN TO THE METAL AND REDONE, THIS WAS COMPLETELY DISREGARDED BY NISSAN. THEY THEN SENT ME A "SPECIALIST" WHO TOLD ME THAT PAINT CHIPS ARE COMMON AND THAT MY ORANGE PEEL IS IN THE NEW BLACK ARMADA IS TO HELP HIDE IMPERFECTIONS. NISSAN WILL NOT WARRANTY ANYTHING. NISSAN IS SELLING AUTOS WITH INFERIOR PAINT QUALITY. I AM SEEKING LEGAL ADVICE AND THIS IS A LESSON LEARNED ABOUT NISSAN PRODUCTS.
