Within the first 18 months, our 2019 Armada was towed 8 times. Eight. It happened twice right before we were leaving for vacation. It simply wouldn’t crank. It happened the first time at less than 6,000 miles. The dealer could only say it was an electrical issue somehow connected to the brake sensors. They would reset a few things and it would work for 2 months. There was later a recall that they guaranteed would fix it. Then it didn’t. Then on the eight tow, still for an electrical issue, they called in a corporate mechanic and “figured it out.” We contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs and they have officially ruled it eligible for lemon law and we are in the process of a buyback. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR.
Great SUV if you can get it to start- Updated

Update: I’ve now had my Armada about 3yrs and have 78,000 miles on it. The not-starting issue was a sensor at the brake which tells the CPU the brake is engaged for starting. It didn’t think the brake was being presses so it wouldn’t start. The first time at the dealership the said that wasn’t the problem. The second time they replaced it and no more starting issues. Apparently this is a common problem. Other than that no more serious mechanical issues. The navigation and audio controls are still a hot mess. Nothing could be done about that because that’s how they were designed. It seems to struggle starting many times as if the battery is low. I still have the factory battery and had it checked under load and it was fine. Overall I’m now happy with the Armada! I bought a one yr old Armada with 35K miles on it. For ride, comfort, feeling safe while driving, and just looking good I would give it Very high marks. The technology controls are a hot mess. Not easy to navigate and just programmed backwards. My SL has the collision avoidance system which will hit the brakes for you if you’re not slowing down quick enough. It works great and the manual says it should almost always be on, but the default is off?!? You have to remember to turn it on every Time you start. It makes no sense. If someone is in your blind spot the blind stop indicator light is too dim. It’s sometimes hard to tell if it’s even on. It you turn on your blinker but someone is in the blind spot it chimes quickly which is great but the volume is so low it’s hard to hear! Neither is adjustable from what I could find. Here’s the biggie. The SOB many times just simply wont start. Not a battery, key Fob, or mechanical issue....it’s the electronics, electric control unit, or brake sensor. I’ve had it less than four months and it wouldn’t start as it should at least 20 times. As I write this this is the second time I had to have it towed to the dealer because i couldn’t get it to start for over a full day. Many times it won’t start but you let it sit for 5-30min it would somehow reset itself then start. Stopping to fill up or to leave work is a way to stressful situation because I may get stranded. I’m currently documenting and preparing for legal action if they can’t or won’t fix it. I’m not paying for a $35K driveway ornament. This is not an uncommon problem with the newer Armadas or Q56’s from online blogs but Nissan hasn’t cracked the code on how to fix. If it wasn’t for the not starting Debacle I’d give it a 3.5 or 4.

Love my 2022 armada sl. Has been our dream car but there is a known battery problem Nissan has not fixed and dealers can’t assist. We have mysteriously had to replace the battery after a year and two times now we have had to jump start the car to get it into the dealership. They know there’s a gremlin in this line but can’t fix it. So, buy knowing there will be a good chance your armada will strand you and new batteries and starters, etc. don’t fix it. Wish I had known about this problem. Google it and you’ll see how other owners have dealt with the problem. Nissan needs to step up and fix it!

2019 Nissan Armada Platinum 4dr SUV 4WD (5.6L 8cyl 7A)

I traded my 12 Expedition as it was time for an upgrade. I was disappointed this did not have CarPlay but proceeded anyway. Overall - this is a lot of fun to drive. Sight lines are great. Lots of low end torque rides smooth and quiet. I have one annoying rattle near the shifter/AV console that I cannot figure out. Less than 500 miles on it thus far so I think it’ll be going in for a look. I have yet to tow anything with it but based on its HP and tranny, it will pull my 3,500 lb boat around fine. My 7 yr old Ford pulled it around fine with it as well.

Definitely not a Gas sippers like Highlander Hybrid, luxurious X7, nor MB GLS 450. Yet, it growl like meanest vocal and powerful like the Tenor, Luciano Pavarotti. The engine sound really makes you want to push down the throttle, again and again. Soooo damm GOOD! Does Hybrid can reach 60MPH in 6.3 seconds? NO absolutely impossible, but the 5.6 litre Armada does. Does Bimmer X7 .4.4 or MB GLS AMG63 has price tag as reasonable as the MSRP of the ARMADA Platinum so like middle income earners, like myself, can consider to have one in their Garage. Oh!, don't forget all the bells and whistles that comes with standard unlike the x7 5.0 and AMG. In addition, end of the year or/and because previous generation model, you'll get hefty discount, like myself, did knock off $12K from fully loaded ARMADA Platinum's MSRP. How about that?! Already SATISFIED 100%. Outdated Infotainment ? Once enter into the driver's seat or any seats, you are deeply mesmerize by real leather seats unlike similarly equipped or better equipped TOYOTA SEQUOIA TRD PRO, which has leatherette not real leather. OH?!!! and don't forget even the 3rd row seat is REAL LEATHER!!! Anyone can adapt to master uncommon tech device and smallish buttons :( :) Just relax and tune for the Pavarotti's powerful tenor tone. The standard 13 speakers BOSE will please your ears. REMEMBER STANDARD for Platinum trim. Does MB or Bimmer included or Toyota Sequoia, GMC Yukon, Chevy Tahoe, Caddy's Escalade? Find yourself at the dealers. Silk smooth 4 corner independent suspension soak up the little ones, compare to solid real axle which is bit more bumpier. Remember the Armada can tow up to 8,500lbs. Steering feel loose but always nearly stay center and adjust accordingly with how the road surface is slope. However, body roll is very minimal and can confidently push this 6,000lbs beast to cornering. Alright, the Armada so far averaged 15 miles per gallon with UNLEADED not with Premium Unleaded gas. Of course been soft on the throttle, but don't know until when because the engine sounds so temptingly excellent feel like driving Mustang GT. Put 4 stars because of gas per miles gallon, but overall especially compare to 6 figure name brand vehicles? I'm not an automotive analyst nor critics drives tons of new fancy vehicles every year, but for the American Middle Income Earners, definitely consider to have this Armada PLATINUM!!! Recently, 2300 miles trip down to California. Comfortable cruiser on the tarmac. 20.07 MPG average. Quiet unlike no other . Reliability is on my hand like confidence after 5 years. No issues at all. Too bad Nissan will no longer offers 5.6 However, twin turbo 3.5 pro 4x with rear locker is rear deal that many armada enthusiasts been waiting for!!!
