What owners wrote

BCI (Back-up Collision Intervention) Malfunction. It's random when this comes up on the dashboard warning lights. It lights up several other things as well. It doesn't allow you to use the cruise control, or the 4-wheel drive. It disables the ABS and traction control. I don't know how this is not a recall, because I see several forums talking about this issue for this vehicle specifically in this year. We took it to the dealership, and they brushed it off, and claimed they didn't know how to fix it.

February 2023 Crash

Radio and display all went out while I was driving. Had to pull over, shut the vehicle all the way off, restart just to get everything to come back on. 2018 nissan armada, with roughly 68k miles.
