My 2022 Nissan Armada has experienced recurring electrical and starting failures despite multiple battery replacements. The vehicle has had four batteries, yet the underlying issue remains unresolved. On [XXX], the vehicle failed to start and required towing to Cavender Nissan in Rockwall, Texas. On [XXX], the dealership documented a failed battery and blown positive battery terminal fusible links. The vehicle was repaired and returned to service. On [XXX], at 56,309 miles, the battery was replaced again. On [XXX], at approximately 67,038 miles, the vehicle again failed to start after being driven earlier that day. The dashboard illuminated, but the engine would not crank. Clicking noises occurred during starting attempts, and several warning messages appeared, including “System fault — See Owner’s Manual” and “Malfunction,” along with ABS and brake warning lights. Attempts to jump-start the vehicle using two other vehicles were unsuccessful. On [XXX], a roadside assistance provider successfully started the vehicle using a commercial jump starter. Cavender Nissan subsequently inspected the vehicle and reported that the battery, alternator, and starter passed testing. The battery measured 726 of 780 rated cold-cranking amps. No parasitic-draw test was performed, and the cause of the recurring failures remains unknown. These unpredictable failures create a safety concern because the vehicle can leave its driver stranded without warning. The vehicle has been inspected repeatedly by the dealership, but no permanent solution has been identified. I am requesting an investigation into the recurring electrical and starting failures affecting this vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

What 2022 Nissan Armada owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced abnormal battery drain, and the vehicle failed to immediately start. The contact stated that the ABS warning light was illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The battery was fully charged at the dealer, and the following day the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
Check engine light and collision lights come on at start of vehicle due to the wiring harness issue. The throttle body and EMC have been replaced. This is a huge safety concern as it effects the engine and the operation of the vehicle. The problem continues even after the dealer has confirmed and reproduced the issue.
Battery drain happens and vehicle Will be hard to start or not start at all. New battery was installed and 4 months later, same issue. It has been taken into dealership multiple times and they can never recreate the issue and have found nothing wrong with the vehicle to repair. This has caused wife and kids to be stranded because vehicle won’t start. No warning lights, nothing that the dealership found to cause issue.
The vehicle radiator fan clutch engaged all the time and slowed acceleration responsiveness. This could cause safety issues when the vehicle responds to gas differently. This seemed to be a common component that goes out on Armada.
The battery in our car has repeatedly drained for no reason. There seems to be an issue with the battery not charging the alternator correctly. At times this causes electrical components to go out.
2022 Nissan Armada AWD battery is being drained for no apparent reason and system check does not reveal anything. Replaced original battery of just over two years and the new battery was drained within six months. Have seen where there are class action lawsuits for years 2019-2021, but nothing on the 2022 vehicle.
The car in front of me stopped short and neither the Collision Warning or Emergency Braking activated or alerted at all, making no attempt to stop the vehicle, resulting in a collision.
I was approaching a railroad track, and my truck slammed on brakes coming to a complete stop. With other cars behind me twice, this is the second time that has happened i was almost hit in the back
The entire dashboard, infotainment, and climate controls go blank, this happens all the time. Today, every warning light on the entire dashboard lit up buzzing, had to pull over to turn off car, open door and re start. This is very distracting, and dangerous. This gives no warning at all, it just happens. Been to the dealer 6 times now, on our way for 7. Two times we were at the dealer we were told there is nothing they can do until manufacturer puts out a software new update, the changed entire infotainment system, USB ports etc, the problem has seemed to have gotten worse.
