What owners wrote

From slow starts, the tachometer will flutter and that hesitation is transmitted through the drivetrain to the wheels. This hesitation has been seen around all shift points and has been confirmed by service technicians. Nissan does not have a fixed at this time. The condition represents a hazard on icy roads' it caused me to leave a lane due to slip. A video of the tachometer is available on request.

Reported at 8,000 miles, November 2016

While driving at rate of 45 miles per hour in the city of oxnard, ca in my 2017 nissan armada sl, the car started to immediately slow down to a speed of 5 miles per hour, which almost caused an accident. The antiskid and 4x4 lights and check engine light came on, but the car could not accelerate. I had to pull over to allow traffic to continue. After waiting for several minutes with the car off I restarted the car and then drove as normal.
