70,000+ miles and not one squeak or rattle and never been back to the dealer for any repairs, adjustments or repairs. A real workhorse. UPDATE: Have owned 2 years now. Just this week replaced the battery and got a front brake job.

2017 Nissan Armada is EVERYTHING!

As much as I hated the old Armada, I love this new one!! This is the only SUV my husband and I could agree on and I love it. The entire vehicle almost exactly mirrors the Infiniy, for 20k less. The only "con" I can mention is that it sucks gas like crazy.....but at this size, they all do.

2017 Disappointment

Returning Nissan customer. 2012 Rouge, 2015 Altima, 2018 Rogue that my sister and I purchased for our parents.Same dealership. Same salesman. My salesman is AMAZING and the only real reason I’ve stayed loyal to Nissan. I purchased a 2017 SL NEW in October of 2017. I love it’s look, size, comfort, MPG is pretty good considering the size/weight & it handles pretty well. I tow our 24 bay boat with ease. HOWEVER...the GPS was outdated the day we brought it home. To update would cost $350. My Bluetooth connectivity works when it wants & dealership can’t find the issue. 6 weeks ago my entire exhaust manifold failed and had to be replaced. Thank goodness I was just under 36k miles. I am currently sitting in the dealership service department waiting on the diagnostics as to why my front and back AC suddenly failed. THANK GOD I bought the extended warranty. I really love my truck, but I regret purchasing a 2017 after Nissan brought the Armada back. I should have waited until the had a few years to work all of the kinks out.

I purchased my 2017 Nissan Armada new & loved the new look, spacious interior & the upgrades that I chose. It suited my family perfectly. I didn’t do a lot of long distance driving in it & always kept up with the maintenance. Update 2022, it has less than 60,000 miles on it, still looks good & still going in for regular maintenance. I was driving & felt like my suv was running out of gas but I knew that couldn’t be it since I just put a full tank of gas in it. Breaks down & I find out it’s the transmission, $5k later one of the new parts ordered from Nissan is faulty so now I’m w/o a vehicle for over a month. Going on 2 weeks now & was told the new part should be in from Japan at the end of the month! This is my 3rd Nissan & my last. Mechanic says the vehicle he’s sees less of is Toyota.
