Nissan Armada 2018

• Recall 151847 [USA]: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
  Nissan north america, inc. (nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 nissan altima, armada, frontier, kicks, leaf, maxima, murano, nv, nv200, pathfinder, rogue, rogue sport, sentra, titan, titan diesel, versa note and versa sedan vehicles, as well as infiniti q50, q60, qx30 and qx80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 nissan gt-r and taxi and infiniti qx50, qx60, q70, q70l vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 111, "rear visibility."
  nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began november 11, 2019 and all affected vins should be activated. Owners may contact nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or infiniti customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
  owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.Safercar.Gov.

• Recall 2019459 [Canada]: Visual system
  Issue: on certain vehicles, the rear view camera system does not return to the default setting when the transmission is shifted to reverse. This could cause a reduction in rear visibility if a driver had previously adjusted the camera display. Canadian regulations require that the rear view image returns to its original setting each time the camera is turned on. Safety risk: reduced rear visibility could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the rear view camera.

The contact owns a 2018 nissan armada. The contact stated that while attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start-up with the lights on the instrument panel flickering on and off. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Several times the engine will not crank and will not start. Can take up to 10 minutes sometimes before vehicle will start, leaving driver stranded. Twice now the bci malfunction (backup collision intervention) error came up on the dash along with other lights immediatly after engine startup. First time at 23,027 miles, and now recently at 32,081 miles. The first time, dealership said they "could not replicate the problem." this recent time, the dealership said there was a service bulletin to replace a stop lamp switch (ntb20-065). We'll see if the problem is actually fixed. This should really be a recall considering the shear number of similar complaints about this issue. Plus the brake lamps may not work consistently, elevating the risk of a collision if other drivers aren't aware the vehicle is slowing down.

While driving the vehicle has displayed an intermittent transmission shudder at low speeds when accelerating from a stopped position. This occurs at speeds between 20-40 mph. The shudder can be felt through the floor into the seat and appears as if the transmission is searching for a proper gear. Under hard acceleration/freeway driving the issue does not present itself. The vehicle has been into both my nissan and infinity dealer. Both technicians who inspected the vehicle confirmed feeling the shudder. Driveline service was performed at nissan and the ecm received the most current update. Nissan technician advised that this is a known problem with the armada and that the shudder is due to the computer trying to find the optimum transmission shift points for the best fuel economy. I brought the vehicle to my infinity dealer after learning that the issue is known to exist in the qx56 & qx80 as well as the armada as the vehicles all share the same components. My service technician drove the vehicle and also confirmed the shudder occurring intermittently under certain driving conditions. I requested that they search for the most current update which would be the "e" update, unfortunately this update only applies to models prior to 2018. Service tech advised me to continue to drive the vehicle normally as this is not a mechanical issue, but a software issue. He also confirmed that nissan / infinity are well aware of the issue and have done little to nothing to provide a tsb, computer update, or permanent solution. He further advised that a transmission replacement, rebuild, or major servicing would not resolve the issue as it is software related. It is deemed very common. This is unacceptable in a $65,000 vehicle. Nissan needs to resolve this issue instead of having dealers advising owners this is normal. My concern is a transmission failure while driving.

Yesterday i was sitting in a drivethru and all of a sudden the bci warning light came on the dash and a couple of other dash lights. Drove straight home and now the vehicle will not start. I will have to get a tow to the nearest dealer. Good thing i drove straight home otherwise i would have been stranded somewhere. My armada only has 38,000 miles on it.
