2008 Nissan Armada structure problems

“BOTH INTERIOR OVERHEAD CONSOLES ARE CRACKED AND NOW THE REAR SIDE OVERHEAD CONSOLE COMPLETELY CRACKED AND NOW THE CONSOLE AS WELL IT CRACKED. THE PLASTIC IS MADE LIKE SAND, IF YOU JUST TOUCH IT, IT WILL BREAK OFF.”

“THE INSIDE OVERHEAD FELL DOWN CAUSING MY DAUGHTER AND I TO BE HIT IN THE HEAD. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA REPORT'S THERE HAVE BEEN 12 COMPLAINTS WITH MINE, AND ACCORDING TO THE ARFC THERE HAVE BEEN FOURTEEN (14) COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME OVERHEAD PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE BEEN PUT ON THE RECALL LIST BEFORE SOMEONE WINDS IN THE HOSPITAL. MY VEHICLE WAS STANTIONARY.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OVERHEAD ROOF CAVED IN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MATHEWS NISSAN (185 TN-76, CLARKSVILLE, TN 37043, (866) 617-4808) AND WAS COMPLETELY REPAIRED. THE REPAIRS WERE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY OR THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,178. *BF *AS”

“FRONT OVERHEAD CONSOLE CRACKED AND FELL DANGLING BY WIRES! AFTER SECURELY TAPING IN PLACE THE CONSOLE CRACKED IN OTHER PLACES LITERALLY DISINTEGRATING. REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE SHOWING SIGNS OF MALFUNCTION AS DVD SCREEN NO LONGER STOWS INTO PLACE. THE PLASTICS AND BRACING USED FOR THESE COMPONENTS ARE TROUBLING. DEALERSHIP JUST SHRUGS.”

“IN JULY 2013, I NOTICED THE FRONT OVERHEAD CENTER CONSOLE STARTED TO CRACK ON BOTH SIDES AT AROUND THE SAME POINTS. I DIDN'T LOOK ANYMORE INTO IT BECAUSE THE APPEARANCE WAS MINIMAL. MY CONCERN CAME ONCE I REALIZED THE CONSOLE WAS LOOSE. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN REGARDS TO THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A CONSUMER ISSUE WHICH HAD TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THE ITEM. AFTER PRICING THE REPLACEMENT PART I WAS NOT ABLE TO PURCHASE DUE TO THE COST WHICH IS ALMOST $1500 TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ENTIRE CONSOLE. SINCE THEN THE SMALL CRACKS HAVE SINCE TURNED INTO A COMPLETE CRACK STRAIGHT ACROSS THE CENTER OF THE CONSOLE. EVEN WITH THE CRACK THE CONSOLE CONTINUED TO BE LOOSE BUT WAS STILL SOMEWHAT STABLE. I WENT TO WORK AND AS I CAME OUT TO LEAVE NOTICED IT WAS HANGING BY STREWS. AFTER LOOKING INSIDE WHERE THE CONSOLE WAS BASED THE STREWS WERE STILL STREWED IN ALONG WITH THE PLASTIC FROM THE CONSOLE WHICH HAD BROKEN OFF. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I HAVE SINCE REALIZED THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS AND ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK.”

“THE REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL ONTO MY TWO KIDS WHILE DRIVING. SUB PAR MATERIAL USED IN THE FLIMSY PLASTIC BRACKETS CRACKED AND THE WHOLE THING CAME FALLING DOWN. ONLY THING HOLDING IT UP WAS THE MAIN POWER CABLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THERE A GREAT NUMBER OF THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE.”
