When owners complained

A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2012 Nissan Armada

A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

Canada — Transport Canada

Canada runs its own recall programme, and its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones.

Recall 2023053 10,846 units in Canada

Airbag

Issue: On certain vehicles, the plastic emblem on the steering wheel airbag cover could detach and become a projectile when the airbag inflates in a crash. Note: This recall is for certain vehicles that had the steering wheel airbag replaced. Safety Risk: Projectiles in the occupant compartment could increase the risk of an injury. Corrective Actions: Nissan will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering wheel airbag cover.

Recall 2012156 4,885 units in Canada

Label

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210.1 - User-ready Tether Anchorages for Restraint Systems. Specifically, the pictograms identifying the location of the tether anchors measure 15 mm in height instead of 20 mm as required by the Standard. Correction: Since this non-compliance condition does not pose any safety risk, no corrective action is required.

Recall 2012128 2,301 units in Canada

Label

Certain vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 - Tire Selection and Rims. Specifically, the compliance label does not indicate the wheel rim size, as required by the Standard. Correction: Retail customers will receive a letter which will include a revised label and instructions on how to install it. Owners will also have the option of having their dealer install the label for them.

Recalls cover specific build ranges, so check your own vehicle by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or, in Canada, Transport Canada.

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE

I HIT THE BUTTON TO CLOSE THE REAR LIFT GATE. I THEN STEPPED AWAY AND WHEN COMING BACK AROUND THE CORNER I DID NOT CUT THE CORNER WIDE ENOUGH AND WENT RIGHT INTO THE GATE WHICH CONTINUED TO CLOSE ON MY HEAD. THIS RESULTED IN A LACERATION TO MY FOREHEAD, A CONCUSSION AND A TRIP TO THE ER. AT MY ADMISSION, I WAS RUSHING AROUND THE CORNER SO I THOUGHT PERHAPS THAT MAYBE I DID NOT GIVE IT ENOUGH TIME TO SENSE ME AND RETRACT. HOWEVER, I HAVE SINCE "TESTED" THIS AUTOMATIC CLOSE FEATURE WITH MY ARM AND IT DOES NOT SENSE IT AND CONTINUES TO CLOSE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS TIME I WAS AWARE OF WHAT I WAS DOING SO I HAD TIME TO RETRACT MY ARM. I AM LEFT WITH A PERMANENT SCAR ON MY FOREHEAD BUT I FEAR THIS COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE EVEN WORSE CONSEQUENCES FOR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE FUTURE, ESPECIALLY A CHILD.

I have a 2012 Nissan armada and a 2013 Nissan armada and both cars o2 sensors have went out on each of them. This must be a common problem and the financial strain shouldn’t be left for the customers buying an already expensive vehicles. Very odd that both my armadas are having the same issues with that particular sensor

Ignition doesn't respond when key is inserted and turned to start. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, it usually takes about 10 or 15 times trying and then it eventually starts.

THE BRAKE LIGHT AND SLIP INDICATOR TURN ON AND THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MANUAL THAT EXPLAINS WHAT THIS MEANS OTHER THAN POTENTIALLY LOW BRAKE FLUID. WE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS HALFWAY, WE FILLED IT UP AND THE ISSUE DID NOT GO AWAY EVEN AFTER DRIVING IT. WHEN YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND START IT BACK UP THE BRAKE LIGHT TURNS OFF LEAVING ONLY THE SLIP INDICATOR ON BUT NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT THE ISSUES ARE REGARDING BOTH SYSTEMS. AFTER CAREFULLY TESTING THE SYSTEM WE FOUND THAT THE BRAKES ARE IN FACT FAILING AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT STOPPING.

LEFT REAR PARKING BRAKE CABLE BRACKET SNAPPED CAUSING THE BRAKE CABLE TO WRAP AROUND THE LEFT REAR DRIVE AXLE, PULLING THE DRIVE AXLE OUT OF THE TRANS-AXLE, AND CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE SHAFT AND DRIVE TRAIN. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT DRIVE FORWARD OR IN REVERSE AND WOULD DRIFT IN PARK, AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. ALSO, DUE TO THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE WRAPPING AROUND THE DRIVE AXLE, THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE HAD EVENTUALLY SNAPPED, RENDERING NO FUNCTION OF THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE. I HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE BACK UP AGAINST A CURB TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM DRIFTING WHEN IN PARK.

SERVICE BRAKES

ON OR ABOUT 1/14/2015 I PULLED INTO MY MOTHER'S DRIVEWAY TO DROP OFF MY CHILD FOR DAYCARE. I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK, APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BECAUSE THE DRIVEWAY SITS UP HIGH, AND TURNED OFF THE ARMADA. UPON EXITING MY MOTHER'S HOUSE I OBSERVED MY VEHICLE ROLLING OFF THE DRIVEWAY ON IT'S OWN. IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL IT HIT THE CURB ACROSS THE STREET. THIS COULD HAVE LEAD TO A CRASH OR WORSE IF I HAD BEEN UNLOADING MY CHILD FROM HIS CARSEAT WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IF ONE OF MY OTHER CHILDREN WAS STANDING BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED OFF THE DRIVEWAY.
