I bought this vehicle because as a previous Nissan owner I had a high confidence level in quality and performance. The 2017 Nissan armada platinum has been a disappointment. In just at a year of ownership the battery has had to be replaced, the key fob batteries have been replaced and still give me issues on opening the vehicle and using g for ignition, the engine has had to be re programmed the transmission had issues with pulling while shifting hears so it had to be re programmed the USB ports encasement was not properly built in the abs system has been replaced and now the ADAS system has been replaced. In all honesty the vehicle has been seen for the same issue (while driving I get. Amessage with all icons on. The dash board lit that I need to pull over stop and turn off the vehicle and restart it. Only to find the vehicle will not re start) this issue is still exists y and no one knows how to fix it because they can't re-create the issue. Nissan of San Marcos has been no help and Nissan One has been even worse at at least trying to find a resolution. I highly recommend if you are considering an armada I urge you. RECONSIDER!!!

Dissapointed

Handling is poor, is like driving a school bus. Seats are flat and hard, they don't wrap around your bottom or back. Instrument panel is behind the times as it is not digital and in color, something most models have at this price level, e.g. Tahoe, Pilot, Atlas. Sound system is below average. I am really unhappy and will probably trade it in within 1 year.

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.
