I just purchased the vehicle with the airbag alert on, as well as the seatbelt alert. It seems there’s no recall for this vehicle. Please advise that you should reconsider the limited recalls and include the 2010 Armanda with the “platinum” package.

Hello, On 4.25.25 I took my 2010 Nissan Armada into the Thoroughbred Nissan Dealership in Tucson AZ for the recall on the air bag emblem/cover. They replaced the cover and installed 98510ZQ01C: Kit Service Air bag cover. However my air bag light on the dash is still blinking. So, I googled "2010…
Hello, On 4.25.25 I took my 2010 Nissan Armada into the Thoroughbred Nissan Dealership in Tucson AZ for the recall on the air bag emblem/cover. They replaced the cover and installed 98510ZQ01C: Kit Service Air bag cover. However my air bag light on the dash is still blinking. So, I googled "2010 nissan armada platinum air bag issues" and found that the AI overview stated: "The 2010 Nissan Armada, including the Platinum trim, has been involved in several recalls related to air bags, including those from Takata inflators. Some issues involve potential ruptures or malfunctions of the inflator module, as well as problems with the driver's air bag cover. " So it appears that there is an air bag inflater issue as well as the emblem/cover issue. Since Thoroughbred Nissan replaced the emblem/cover which was covered under warranty, should they now replace the airbag itself due to issues listed with the Takata air bag inflator? The dealership says that the only recall is on the emblem/resin cover. However Google states: "The 2010 Nissan Armada, including the Platinum trim, has been involved in several recalls related to air bags, including those from Takata inflators. Some issues involve potential ruptures or malfunctions of the inflator module, as well as problems with the driver's air bag cover. " Please let me know if Nissan is recalling my 2010 Takata Airbag as well as the emblem/resin cover so that I can have a working airbag that is safe. Currently airbag light is on and blinking. What do you recommend? Please call [XXX] at [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

We bought this Armada used about two years ago and it had about 85,000 miles on it then. On Monday August 26th 2024 my wife came home and as she pulled in to park the brake pedal went to the floor. The passenger side front steer tire inside was covered in brake fluid. I pulled it in to our garage and removed the tire and had her pump the brake pedal to find the fluid loss spot. Upon inspection I discovered the Steer tire had rubbed through the brake hose causing brake fluid loss. I replaced the hose and inspected the driver side to discover it was almost rubbed through to the cords inside the hose. It will be replaced too. I have saved the passenger side hose and will save the driver hose after I replace it. My pictures are of the passenger side front brake hose.

I had a sudden power lose with no warning while traveling down interstate at 70mph in "fast lane". I had no power and steering the vehicle to safety was a serious challenge. We were almost hit several time as I negotiated my way to the shoulder of the Interstate. I was scary and after almost being struck by passing vehicles, my wife actually got sick to her stomach. After avoiding accident's to pull off shoulder of the road I was not able to get the vehicle started. Upon being towed home I discovered the vehicle ran out of gas, although the gas gauge was showing 1/4 of tank. I went online and found there was a recall for Nissan Armada, 2005-2009 dated 3/18/2010 for the same exact issue (see NHTSA # 10V-074). Nissan did not correct the defect and there are numerous complaints of this dangerous issue with following year models. This issue is seriously dangerous and can lead to serious injury or death and a recall should be mandatory. I called Nissan but they refused to assist with repairs or recall. I had the fuel pump sending unit replaced at my expense and request Nissan reimburse me. This is not an issue due to age or mileage. This is a DESIGN FLAW that is wide spread and Nissan has failed to accept responsibility or notify owners of potential problem. Requesting NHTSA assistance and action to prevent injury or death to other Nissan owners. I also plan to speak with an attorney regarding possibility of a class action suit.

In july 2017 and at 90K miles , my 2010 nissan armada began leaking exhaust fumes into the passenger cabin and the fuel economy dropped significantly. I took it to an authorized nissan service station, which charged me $150 to diagnose a cracked catalytic converter exhaust manifold on both sides.…
In july 2017 and at 90K miles , my 2010 nissan armada began leaking exhaust fumes into the passenger cabin and the fuel economy dropped significantly. I took it to an authorized nissan service station, which charged me $150 to diagnose a cracked catalytic converter exhaust manifold on both sides. The repair estimate was about $4,000 to replace the manifolds at the dealership. The manufacturer's warranty expired at 80K miles and I was told that this IS a known problem with armada and titan models. I shopped around for estimates and had the manifolds replaced by an independent mechanic with aftermarket parts for a total cost of $2,100 with a 2-year/24k miles warranty. In 2020 and at 125K miles (3 years/30k miles later), the same issue occurred and the shop would not extend the warranty. The nissan dealership service department estimates the repair at $5,000, and the independent shop estimates $1,900. All of the mechanics (including the nissan dealership) have advised me that they don't think the car IS worth the investment at 130K miles considering the trade value IS around $5K. I can't afford this repair twice in 3 years, and I'm driving my family around breathing in co fumes that could harm or kill us. I primarily use the vehicle for day-to-day suburban driving with occasional camping trips - no hard or off-road use. Nissan should address this issue and reimburse the cost of repairs as this IS a potentially fatal issue for drivers. I am now faced with a decision to invest almost half the value of my vehicle in a repair that may fail again, or to buy a new car I can't currently afford in the middle of a pandemic. Please hold the manufacturer accountable to its us customers.

Driving on slightly wet road. started sprinkling for about five minutes. It was driving fine then on the road to my house in the city. it's windy and I was going maybe 10-15 miles an hour and it started spitting out like I was in snow or sleet I almost lost control. So I put I stopped and then I barely press on the gas it would start swerving again. even at less than 5 miles an hour. I had to go super slow how there was like there was no traction at all or no steering control. No lights came on or anything. Prior to that it was driving perfectly fine. I want to say it kind of felt like the left side had no traction for some reason but I don't know. It just felt weird like I was driving a seadoo

In the next few days, the console failled down in the back seat but was stil hanging up by the wirings. I brougth my vehicle to the dealership where I do my oil change regulary for repair or replacement, they ask me $1000.00 for diagnostic of the problem and without it, they can not do the repair. I did not want to spend $1000.00 for diagnostic and get stucked with the repair bills afterward. I thingh they were dishonest and the issue must investigated and a recall must be issued. I have problem opening the rear liftgate or the glass hatch. Some answer.

This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor. IDENTIFICATION NUMBER Nissan has assigned identification numbers PC944, PC946, PC947 and PC949 to this campaign. The vehicle specific number must appear on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.

The front sonar parking sensor may activate if the front license plate is bent outward from its bracket (there is a gap between the license plate and the bracket) OR the front license plate frame is bent or loose and is hanging outward, away from the license plate and/or bracket (there is a gap between the license plate frame and the license plate and/or bracket) OR the bracket is loose and is hanging outward, away from the bumper (there is a gap between the bracket and the bumper). If any of these conditions are found, correct it by removing the gap (straighten the license plate, straighten and/or secure the license plate frame, or secure the bracket, as it applies). - Retest the operation of the front sonar parking sensor. If the issue is not resolved, go to ASIST and the related Electronic Service Manual (ESM) for further diagnosis. See this bulletin for further detail.
- 10192727SERVICE INFORMATION The purpose of this bulletin is to give Nissan dealers guidelines to help determine if windshield breakage is covered under warranty or is the customer?s responsibility. Nissan North America (NNA) is not responsible for damage to glass that is a result of objects striking or scratching the glass. However, NNA is responsible for manufacturing issues such as distorted glass and cracks that are due to improper installation or damage to the glass during vehicle assembly. NNA typically does not find any type of cracks in the windshield due to stress after the dealership PDI. See this bulletin for further detail.

- 10192591SERVICE INFORMATION After ECM reprogramming, the Calibration Verification Number (CVN) needs to be automatically calculated prior to State emissions testing (also known as Inspection Maintainence, I/M, or SMOG testing depending upon location). Allowing the vehicle to idle for 22 minutes will allow for faster CVN calculation. It is recommended that customers utilize this method if the vehicle needs to be tested for emissions soon after ECM reprogramming. See this bulletin for further detail.
- 10192562SERVICE INFORMATION The applied vehicles are equipped with automatic door locks that lock all doors when the vehicle speed reaches 15 MPH. There is no instruction in the Owner?s Manual on auto-lock function deactivation. All doors unlock automatically when the ignition is placed in the OFF position (models with Intelligent Key system) or when the key is removed from the ignition switch (models without Intelligent Key system).

- 10192532SERVICE INFORMATION NOTE - Failure to follow the procedures in this bulletin may result in the denial of a warranty claim. In an effort to protect the paint finish, Paint Guard Film (PGF) is applied on many new Nissan vehicles. Paint Guard Film is a temporary white plastic protective film that is applied by the factory to the horizontal painted surfaces of the vehicle. The PGF protects the paint finish during vehicle handling, transportation and storage from harmful elements such as acid rain, iron particles, bird droppings, tree sap and other environmental contaminants. NOTE - Paint Guard Film CANNOT remain on the vehicle for more than six months after the vehicle's manufacture date. PGF must be removed at the end of six months. See this bulletin for further detail.
