What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2006 nissan armada. While driving approximately 35 MPH and attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal fractured while being depressed and caused the contact's vehicle to crash into the rear of a second vehicle. During the crash, the vehicle was destroyed and the front end was severely damaged; however, the air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed and the vehicle was towed. The driver sustained a concussion and the front passenger sustained a neck abrasion.
I hit a deer on july 5th 2014. My front bumper pushed in on my driver side wheel. Cracked my grill. Broke out a head light on driver side. Bent the driver fender and drivers door and my airbag did not deploy. A week and a half later my airbag light comes on..... I carried it to nissan and they said it was not wreck related. Spoke with my insurance company and was told that this is a common issue with nissan armada. I need a reliable vehicle and I cant take the chance of traveling with hazardous restraints..
