I had my mom, aunt and 2 small kids in the truck we were on the way to drop my mom off at her home. Once I pulled up in front of her house we noticed the truck smoking. I got out of the vehicle and looked under the hood. I observed wires burning from that point I closed the hood so that the vehicle could cool off. I then walked my mom to her front door as I walked back to my vehicle I observed my truck on fire. I immediately rushed to the vehicle and got my kids and aunt out of the vehicle. The fire department was called and responded within 7 minutes. By the time the fire department responded my truck was in full flames.
I bought my nissan armada brand new in 2007. It is a 2006 model. The vehicle is very stylish but it is like a death trap. When the bumper to bumper warranty ran out @ 36,000 miles, my brakes have been an issue. Every year I have had to get brakes put on the armada and it has to be nissan brakes because I tried other brakes and they squeal and grind. Now I have an rather scary situation. I was driving 25mph and put my brakes on and my SUV started nose diving in the front end and the brake light came on, not to mention, the brakes would not work properly. It was catching and releasing about 4 times, each time I would brake. I almost hit a car. I drove it to a mechanic right then, and they ran scan on the brake code since the light came on during this event. The code is c1179. Apparently this is a dealer issue. I called the nissan dealership I bought the armada from and they told me I needed a software update for the ABS system. Really? This is not a recall issue? I have read several reviews and they are are having ABS issues. Come on nissan, how many lives have to be lost or injured before you recall this ABS problem? Why would they charge consumers $120 for a computer update to the system if it is clearly a manufacturer defect... The other issues are: drivers side seat is ripping, poor material, the drivers side floor mat is sliding under the driver pedal, the blind spot is a severe issue on the left drivers side, paint chips easily, bad gas mileage, radiator leaks, strut is bad on the passenger front side, which is causing it to leak on the pavement when parked.

On august 11 2010 , while I was driving with my 2 kids 6 and 2 yrs old , my 2006 nissan armada caught on fire , my kids and I were able to smell like something was burning, but we were not able to see any smoke or fire anywhere around us, it was about 5 minutes later that my daughter was able to see smoke coming from under the truck ,, she said the smoke went by her window , I looked thru my mirrors but I was not able to see anything , I looked at the temperature gauges on the dashboard everything seemed to be working just fine , so I told my daughter if it was our car burning I supposed there would be an indicator that would tell us that something was wrong with the vehicle ,about 3 minutes later my daughter said she saw smoke again , so my first thought was to stop and check , make sure we were ok , I stopped a soon as I was able to get off the road and parked on a safe place. I stopped about 2 mins later after she told me . I turned the motor off and got out of the truck ,, so I decided to go around and checked everywhere , when I started walking towards the front of the truck , right on front of the hood I could smell like burning very close and very strong smell , and the next thing I see as I knelt down right in front of the truck is the fan on fire . I could not believe what my eyes where looking at, so my first reaction was to go back in he car and get my kids out of the burning truck,right away she started to unbuckle her 2 yr old brother . We started running to get away from the fire , while I was calling 911.after the investigation it was determined that the fire was caused due to a manufacturer defect that the truck had on the cooling fan . That truck had a recall on june 2008 , of which I never had a notice of . Until this day im still waiting on any kind of response from nissan.I bought the vehicle brand new so I was hoping that nissan would take any responsibility for it , since they endangered our lives. And I the vehicle was a total loss.
