I drive a 2017 nissan armada that caught fire!!! We purchased this vehicle march of this year. My heated seat malfunctioned and caught my pants and my seat on fire while I was driving with two-2- small children!!! Tuesday morning november 12th, 2019 I was driving my 7 year old to school with my 3 year old with us when I started to feel a pain in my left leg. I lifted my leg which then I saw smoke and could smell something was burning.
Went to start my vehicle and everything but the engine would start. Tried for several minutes, locked, unlocked car then left it alone for 5 minutes and it finally started. Then, less than a week later, while I was driving, the bci malfunction warning and a bunch of other lights came on and car slowed down significantly. Had to pull over, look up this warning and follow directions others who had this same issue did. I turned vehicle off, waited a minut and turned it back on. Warning cleares.
