DO NOT BUY--TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE NOT COVERED

2017 Nissan Armada SL 4dr SUV 4WD (5.6L 8cyl 7A)

Loved this car for the first four years for its power and ride. Then, it hit 5 years, 80,000 miles and the torque converter failed. This is a KNOWN defect subject to one of the many Technical Service Bulletins for this car; yet Nissan won't recall for the defect--it falls to you. Customer Service did not help. They put out junk, knowingly, and then don't stand behind it. Car will require a minimum repair of $3k--possibly more depending on what other transmission components have also failed. Nissan's powertrain warranty covers only 5 years/60k, a very poor warranty indeed for such a major component. Buy Toyota.

Piece of junk.

I've had the car for les than a year. First off it's a 4x4 but the SL version does not come rewired for towing lights, but has a hitch welded to the chassis. Then not enough leg room in the back seat for small kids. Then the Throttle body went bad and the MAF. Runs rough. Just hit 62000 miles, just enough for the warranty to expire. Not buying foreign crap again.

Bought my 2017 nissan armada for under $30,000. Within a week of owning it, I was driving back to work from taking my lunch and the back left window explodes. I suspect either a rock hit it or it was shot by a pellet gun (as my friends have had the same thing happen to them). About a week ago we got it back from the body shop and it has been so nice to own. We upgraded from a 2006 pathfinder we've owned since 2011 and it has been so nice to drive this car. I have owned nothing but nissans for the past 7 years, (2006 pathfinder, 2008 rouge, 2013 altima, 2009 versa, 2003 murano) This car has been great and I will own it for a while.
