New Car Assessment Program
The 2014NISSANARMADA carries 17 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. For crash performance, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program gave this cohort an overall Not Rated/5 rating, with Not Rated/5 front crash, Not Rated/5 side crash, and 3/5 rollover scores derived from standardized barrier and dynamic tests.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2014 ARMADA is unknown or other with 3 filings, followed by air bags (3) and power train (2). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 1 active recall campaign, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 54 investigation files overlapping the 2014 ARMADA, and 5 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

VEHICLE WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING SPEED LIMIT AT 60MPH. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES WITHIN THE VICINITY OF MY NISSAN ARMADA. SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD POP-SHATTER SOUND. ALMOST LIKE A GUN SHOT OR A VERY LOUD AND CLOSE THUNDER SOUND. I STARTED TO HEAR RATTLING AND I SLIGHTLY OPENED MY SUNROOF SHADE TO SEE SHATTERED GLASS. I CLOSED IT AND WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP.
