Is 17 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2013 and 2025, roughly 1 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2012 has 17 complaints on file, fewer than the 2011 (40) and the same as the 2013 (17). Of the 12 model years of the Nissan Armada we cover, the 2017 has the most (81). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
