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 HOWEVER...the GPS was outdated the day we brought it home.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.

A Nissan Gotcha $$$$

When my 4-Runner was totaled, struck from behind at a stop light, we needed a vehicle that would tow my 5000 lbs boat. Found this gorgeous 2017 Armada with 35,900 miles. A week 10-days later the backlight for the speedometer's 0-20 mph started blinking and then several days later went black. Thought it was a simple bulb replacement. Then a month later 20-40 went black. The internet provided many reports that this was a Nissan defective part problem. Most occurred shortly after the 36K warranty had expired. A major expense to repair. Went to my local dealer, and yep, we know about the problem - go reachout to Nissan Customer Assistance. They were most welcoming and said my problem (speedometer backlights) was within the scope of their consideration. Sounds good. Instructed to take the car to the Nissan dealer and have a diagnostic performed so we can document the [well-known] problem. I did paying $106.20 to document an obvious problem - yep it is a backlight problem Dealership submitted the diagnosis to Nissan whom the next morning SURPRISE - NISSAN is NOT going to provide any assistance. WOW! For that I paid $106.00 for a well know defect. A defect that should have been recalled or at the very least accorded an extended warranty. How honest is that, and to replace the instrument cluster is 2-3 days in the shop plus paying $!,841.46. If a major part has a very high failure rate what is Nissan's honorable and trustworthy thing to do? Or close their eyes waiting for the "we are off the hook" 36,000 miles.
