Vehicle sonar system didn't warned driver about obstacle which resulted in hitting it causing damage to the rear while backing up bumper. it works fine 90% of the time but it didn't at least twice when my wife hit lamp and 2nd time poll . i took vehicle to baker nissan explained what happened but they didn't find anything wrong with it. when i asked how many times they tested it the response was: 1 time representative tried backing up and 1 time mechanic.
When i am towing my 4000 lb trailer, using a weight distribution hitch, set up properly by my rv specialist, with either unloaded or with a loaded weight not exceeding even 6000 pounds, the armada sinks in the back end in a way that the rear tires come extremely close to the wheel well rims. my rv specialist is very concerned that if i am driving and hit a bump or hole, the tire could strike the wheel well rim and cause a blow out or major accident. they are concerned the spring ratio is not designed properly for the armada (which has a tow package and is supposedly capable of towing 8500 pounds). i have brought this issue to nissan north america's attention and they will not even take a look at the problem, instead telling me that if an accident occurs, it is covered under my warranty!
Bci malfunction message displayed on the dash along with other indicators. vehicle wouldn't start. service department suggested to continue to press the brake and push start button while i waited for road side assistance tow. after about 15 min the vehicle started. minutes later the vehicle was on but would not move out of park. continued to attempt while waiting for tow again and it eventually went out of park. the next day it would not start again and eventually did. dropped off at dealer for service. picked up that afternoon and was told they replaced the brake switch. i drove less than a mile away and the bci malfunction message came on again and displayed other warning lights again as well. i was back at the dealership within 5 minutes of departing and placed in the same small loaner vehicle that did not fit my family. picked it up my armada the next day around noon and was told they now replaced the brake sensor. drove off and made one stop on my way back to work which is 4 miles from the dealership and before i made it there the bci malfunction light came on again. after much conversation and frustration the vehicle is back at the dealership for the 4th time for the same problem. i purchased the vehicle new june 13, 2019 and the problems started sept 4th 2019.
