I have a 2012 Nissan armada and a 2013 Nissan armada and both cars o2 sensors have went out on each of them. This must be a common problem and the financial strain shouldn’t be left for the customers buying an already expensive vehicles. Very odd that both my armadas are having the same issues with that particular sensor

Ignition doesn't respond when key is inserted and turned to start. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, it usually takes about 10 or 15 times trying and then it eventually starts.

THE BRAKE LIGHT AND SLIP INDICATOR TURN ON AND THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MANUAL THAT EXPLAINS WHAT THIS MEANS OTHER THAN POTENTIALLY LOW BRAKE FLUID. WE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS HALFWAY, WE FILLED IT UP AND THE ISSUE DID NOT GO AWAY EVEN AFTER DRIVING IT. WHEN YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND START IT BACK UP THE BRAKE LIGHT TURNS OFF LEAVING ONLY THE SLIP INDICATOR ON BUT NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT THE ISSUES ARE REGARDING BOTH SYSTEMS. AFTER CAREFULLY TESTING THE SYSTEM WE FOUND THAT THE BRAKES ARE IN FACT FAILING AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT STOPPING. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 45-50 THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND STALLED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER WITH NORMAL EFFORT . IT WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED. OF NOTE THIS IS MY 2ND ARMADA MY 2004 HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAN'T IMAGINE NISSAN DOES NOT KNOW AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. ANY THOUGHTS ?

LEFT REAR PARKING BRAKE CABLE BRACKET SNAPPED CAUSING THE BRAKE CABLE TO WRAP AROUND THE LEFT REAR DRIVE AXLE, PULLING THE DRIVE AXLE OUT OF THE TRANS-AXLE, AND CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE SHAFT AND DRIVE TRAIN. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD OR IN REVERSE AND WOULD DRIFT IN PARK, AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. ALSO, DUE TO THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE WRAPPING AROUND THE DRIVE AXLE, THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE HAD EVENTUALLY SNAPPED, RENDERING NO FUNCTION OF THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE. I HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE BACK UP AGAINST A CURB TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM DRIFTING WHEN IN PARK.

ON OR ABOUT 1/14/2015 I PULLED INTO MY MOTHER'S DRIVEWAY TO DROP OFF MY CHILD FOR DAYCARE. I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK, APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BECAUSE THE DRIVEWAY SITS UP HIGH, AND TURNED OFF THE ARMADA. UPON EXITING MY MOTHER'S HOUSE I OBSERVED MY VEHICLE ROLLING OFF THE DRIVEWAY ON IT'S OWN. IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL IT HIT THE CURB ACROSS THE STREET. THIS COULD HAVE LEAD TO A CRASH OR WORSE IF I HAD BEEN UNLOADING MY CHILD FROM HIS CARSEAT WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IF ONE OF MY OTHER CHILDREN WAS STANDING BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED OFF THE DRIVEWAY. *TR
