Fuel tank check valve and charcoal canister full of fuel. Fuel vapors in cabin causing headaches and dizzyness while driving and having a 4 year in the vehicle also breathing in the vapors. Dealer couldnt and wouldnt reproduce as i stated. Nissan engineer came out and recreated as i stated by filling the gas tank up. It was inspected by Avondale Nissan service department and they stated nothing is wrong with it, which was false. The were no warning lamps or engine lights on the dash.

I purchased a 2026 Nissan Armada on January 22, 2026. The component/system that failed is the In-Vehicle Infotainment system, also referred to in Nissan’s recall documentation as the IVI system, along with the rearview camera, surround-view camera display, parking/safety grid lines, infotainment wiring/harness components, and related interconnected electronic and drivetrain control systems. The vehicle, repair records, recall/campaign documents, Nissan Consumer Affairs correspondence, and related evidence are available for inspection upon request. This defect is directly related to NHTSA Recall 25V-821 / Nissan IVI reprogram campaign R25D5/R25D6 for certain 2025–2026 Nissan Armada and Murano vehicles. Nissan’s own recall notice states that the affected vehicles may fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111, “Rear Visibility.” The recall notice states that, under certain circumstances at vehicle start-up, the In-Vehicle Infotainment system may enter a power-saving mode, causing the IVI display to stop functioning and resulting in a blank screen. Nissan’s notice further states this condition can cause the rear-view image to be blank even when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, and that the loss of the rear-view image during backing may increase the risk of a crash or injury to a person behind the vehicle. The defect in my vehicle is not isolated to the display screen only. Based on my direct experience while operating the vehicle, the infotainment/IVI defect appears to be interconnected with other vehicle systems and has also caused the vehicle to lose power and lock itself into 4-wheel drive/all-wheel drive mode on its own while being driven. This creates a serious safety risk because the vehicle can unexpectedly lose normal operating power, change drivetrain behavior without driver command, impair driver control, and create a roadway hazard during active operation. The safety risk is significant. The rearview camera, surround-view camera,

I am reporting recurring failures involving the vehicle's electronic control systems. These issues have been documented with the dealership on multiple occasions and a Nissan District Technical Service Manager (DTSM) has also inspected the vehicle. Nissan has not been able to replicate the issues as they are intermittent. Braking System: When sitting at a stop light, where I had my foot on the brake, I heard a pump/whooshing sound from the front of the vehicle while the brake pedal suddenly traveled to the floor. On two separate occasions, the pedal has also become rock-hard. The Nissan DTSM was not able to replicate and suggested that the brake pedal becoming hard or going to the floor is "normal", and that my car showed no codes, and there was no recommended action required--that as long as the vehicle stopped, it was not a problem. After the DTSM inspected the vehicle, the brake pedal went fully to the floor five consecutive times while backing out of a parking space. I heard the same pump/whooshing sound from the front of the vehicle. Because I was backing up slowly, and the brake pedal was not responding to me given it was going fully to the floor, it was unclear how much braking power I truly had. The pump continued to make noise as the first few times I pressed the brakes driving away. Engine/Transmission: When the gas pedal is released, the engine intermittently continues to rev, and not respond to throttle input as designed, requiring the use of the brake to force a shift. But, Nissan stated they are aware that there is "general dissatisfaction" with the transmission overall, and suggested I wait for a future software update in the hopes that it may address some of the concerns. Electrical/Integrated Components: Failures include side mirrors failing to open or lock into position when driving. Audio/Nav system: Once when driving in an unfamiliar area, the audio/sound went out, with no turn by turn (or radio) sound at all, forcing me to watch the screen.

Is 8 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2026 and 2026, roughly 8 a year, which is more 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.
