Disappointed with Nissan Corporate problem solving

Bought my wife a 2018 Nissan Armada in September 2019. Loved the car inside and out, didn't have an issue other than the GPS screen acting up every now and then, which wasn't a big deal. The car is mechanically sound, solid, and felt real safe having my wife driving it. After all it's a Nissan and we paid high dollar for it. July 2020, my wife gets in the car, puts it in reverse and the car does NOTHING, just sat there. Luckily she was able to roll it back, the car drove perfect in drive, but now we have NO REVERSE. Called Nissan corporate and explained the issue, they had me take it to the local dealership that after a quick inspection determined that the issue is an internal transmission problem. Nissan corporate contacts me and tell me since we ae are at 60218 miles, the transmission is no longer under warranty, but we can take the car back to the dealership for a further internal diagnostic where they have to take the transmission out and apart to determine the problem, at our expense which would be several hundred dollars, with no guarantee of any kind of repairs after they get the report from the dealer. In other words, Nissan wants me to waste more money on top of the money I spent to buy this beautiful piece of junk they manufactured. INTERNAL TRANSMISSION ISSUE = DEFECTIVE PARTS USED TO MANUFACTURE THE TRANSMISSION. I am not mad just because the transmission went out but also of the way Nissan has handled the issue so far. They want to say 200 miles over warranty, I can't accept that with all the money I spent to buy this piece of junk. I am even considering parking this car infront of the local dealership with a big sign on it saying DON"T BUY .
Love It!! Best in Class

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

I've had my Armada Platinum for almost 2 years now and I absolutely love it. We needed something to replace my husband's Chevy pick up and needed the ability to tow 6,000lbs. I wanted something w/ a 3rd row so that ruled out the Porsche Cayenne which was my top choice. Drove the equivalent SUVs and none came close in comfort, upscale interior, ride quality, etc, etc. I had never considered a Nissan before and I've been so pleased with this as my daily driver. Yes it doesn't get great gas mileage but I knew that going in. I mostly drive it around town, but combined highway and town is about 16.5 mpg. I'm also a small woman at 5'2" and I have no problems parking it or driving in close quarters. Love it, will definitely be keeping it for a long time.

A comparison of full size luxury SUVs shows the 2017 Nissan Armada to be the best, especially for comfort and affordability. I particularly like the driver seat/front console configuration which allows for more room than any of the competition. It has significant luggage room and great space both in the front and back seat which places this SUV at the top of the luxury list. It is roomier in the front than any of the others save the Infinity which is its more expensive twin. Room for improvement include 1) on acceleration ...the way it is geared causes it to rev a little too much, 2) the headlight adjustment finds the dim lights pointed a little low for my tastes and 3) as a technophobe, I'd prefer better instructions with regard to understanding the electronics. That said, on the whole, this car, (which uses regular gas) is a delight to own and drive!

After driving the behemoth Chevys / GMC's we almost bought the better handling Expedition except the interior was too drab. The Nissan by contrast is very well designed, comfortable, very (very) quick off the line, handles well and is very quiet. The auto AWD mode is easy to drive but once you switch to other modes, driving gets clunky fast. A couple of complaints however, one is with four children and the back seat in use we like to keep the smaller of the middle seats folded. Unfortunately there is no way to safely secure it in that position, which creates a safety hazard, as it could flip down onto the foot of a third row passenger. The middle row release mechanism is also difficult for kids to manipulate. The Nav and touchscreen interface is poorly designed and the bluetooth has trouble switching between phones of different drivers if the first phone is no longer in the car. Voice commands appear to default only to navigation which is odd. Those issues aside the performance and driving characteristics of this vehicle are second-to-none in this class. Basically you're getting the Infiniti which makes this car a great value.

2017 Armada SL

Looked extensively at all the options. Less money than Chevy, GMC and Ford for the same type/options. Hard to see why the GM stuff is so much more. (For the record owned 8 new GM vehicles.) Compared against the old Ford, in short no comparison ( I have owned 5 new Ford vehicles). Quite good tow vehicle (very important to me). Very good room in the second row. IMPORTANT driver seat "sits" high (does go down enough for tall drivers, >6') this is one thing I live with. V8 has a more pleasant sound than the GM products and is very responsive. GM products do shift slightly smoother. The "bones" of this truck (sold over seas as the Nissan Petrol) is much more off road focused than either the GM or new Ford products. Please consider comparing to the Infiniti version (Q80) much the same vehicle. Suggest "Googling" Nissan Petrol to read overseas reviews.
