Clicking noises occurred during starting attempts, and several warning messages appeared, including “System fault — See Owner’s Manual” and “Malfunction,” along with ABS and brake warning lights. Attempts to jump-start the vehicle using two other vehicles were unsuccessful. On [XXX], a roadside assistance provider successfully started the vehicle using a commercial jump starter.

Engine

3 reports
“Check engine light and collision lights come on at start of vehicle due to the wiring harness issue. The throttle body and EMC have been replaced. This is a huge safety concern as it effects the engine and the operation of the vehicle. The problem continues even after the dealer has confirmed and reproduced the issue.”

Vehicle speed control

1 report
“The vehicle radiator fan clutch engaged all the time and slowed acceleration responsiveness. This could cause safety issues when the vehicle responds to gas differently. This seemed to be a common component that goes out on Armada.”

Lane departure

1 report
“THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD, INFOTAINMENT, AND CLIMATE CONTROLS GO BLANK, THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. TODAY, EVERY WARNING LIGHT ON THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD LIT UP BUZZING, HAD TO PULL OVER TO TURN OFF CAR, OPEN DOOR AND RE START. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING, AND DANGEROUS. THIS GIVES NO WARNING AT ALL, IT JUST HAPPENS. BEEN TO THE DEALER 6 TIMES NOW, ON OUR WAY FOR 7. TWO TIMES WE WERE AT THE DEALER WE WERE TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL MANUFACTURER PUTS OUT A SOFTWARE NEW UPDATE, THE CHANGED ENTIRE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, USB PORTS ETC, THE PROBLEM HAS SEEMED TO HAVE GOTTEN WORSE.”
