I drive a 2017 Nissan Armada that caught fire!!! we purchased this vehicle March of this year. My heated seat malfunctioned and caught my pants and my seat on fire while I was driving with two-2- small children!!! Tuesday morning November 12th, 2019 I was driving my 7 year old to school with my 3 year old with us when I started to feel a pain in my left leg. I lifted my leg which then I saw smoke and could smell something was burning. All this happened while I was driving with 2 small children strapped into their carseats. When I noticed the hole and black marks in my sweatpants and a hole in my driver seat I immediately turned off the heated seat button. We could of wrecked into another vehicle that most likely would of had another kid in the car. Not only was my children's lives and my life at risk but all those people's lives around me taking their kids to school, too. It was one of the most scariest days of my life. I am terrified to drive this vehicle now. We could had died!!! I bought this vehicle because I wanted heated seats, now I will never use heated seats again. I am truly traumatized from this experience. My experience with Nissan corporation has not made the situation better but worse. See also ODI 11280207.

Brake pedal switch failure for second time on a 2017 Nissan Armada. Because Nissan repaired this a year ago (mind you when my vehicle was only a year old and had to be towed from toledo) they will not cover the repair again because they have stated that it outside of the 12,000 miles, one year warranty on the part. Nissan has an issue with this switch assembly. The service technician noted that there were two other Armadas in for the same repair that week. This is not only a reputational issue but a safety issue. One of the main concerns with the switch is that it is not recognizing when you apply your foot to the brake!

2017 vehicle hesitated while leaving a drive through, would not shift from park. At next venue, the vehicle failed to start. Owner attempted to start vehicle with remote start. The engine turned on, however, upon entry when the owner pressed the start and placed foot on the brake, the vehicle shut off. The vehicle was then towed to the dealership where repairs were made to a stop sensor, however, the vehicle is still hesitating.

Bought Nissan Armada about 7 weeks ago. Went on a 3.5 hour trip twice. While using the navigation system the navigation system went blank, flicker. Called and took it back to dealer. Texted the service advisor pictures and videos of this happening. The dealer had my vehicle for about a week and could not replicate the problem. They drove my vehicle a few hundred miles and still couldn't get it to replicate. The dealer decided to order a new radio. I droped my vehicle off last night and said the part would be in sometime today 11/14/2017. Received a call from the dealership and service advisor said the part was on back order and they didn't know when the part would be in. Could be upto 6 months.
