Car is has been having BCI Malfunction warning come up. This has happened numerous times since purchasing. It has been taken to the dealership multiple times for this issue. They have replaced brake switch sensors and even the battery and calibrated everything and the problem continues to persist. This has left us stranded on the side the road with the car not starting. It has caused sudden braking while driving on interstate with no warning and nothing to cause this reaction-€¦ two Nissan dealerships that have looked it it play it off as nothing meanwhile I keep reading of more people having similar issues with this vehicle. This needs to be further investigated before someone is out in a deadly situation

Braking system seems to go in/out intermittently while driving or when stopped. You can begin rolling even when the brakes are applied while stopped. It also will not allow you to start the vehicle unless you stomp on the break pedal. And in a few situations it has not allowed me to take the vehicle out of park unless stopping on the brake pedal if the car is running my mechanic and various website blog report and determine this might be a booster sensor issue which is not being issued for recall

Bought this used on June 25,2019 with approximately 46860 miles on it from wolfchase chysler in bartlett, tn. I am in the medical field and today (8/2/18) was trying to leave work today and my car would not crank. In the process, I noticed that the brake wouldn't catch and when I finally was able to crank it, the shifter wouldn't go out of park. It was stuck. This happened 2 more times before driving down the road on a trip and this warning light bci malfunction as we are driving down the road. My brakes became really touchy and I had to pull off the road to keep from having an accident. Then, I had to cut it off and keep trying to get it going bc I couldn't get the malfunction to go away or even come on to put it back in gear. This is a huge safety hazard and traveling with two children could have been extremely hazardous today. I am requesting Nissan and the dealership take responsibility for this problem after paying a huge price for a premium vehicle...the last thing I need to do is be broke down on the side of the road

Brake pedal switch failure for second time on a 2017 Nissan Armada. Because Nissan repaired this a year ago (mind you when my vehicle was only a year old and had to be towed from toledo) they will not cover the repair again because they have stated that it outside of the 12,000 miles, one year warranty on the part. Nissan has an issue with this switch assembly. The service technician noted that there were two other Armadas in for the same repair that week. This is not only a reputational issue but a safety issue. One of the main concerns with the switch is that it is not recognizing when you apply your foot to the brake!

Below is a copy of the email I sent to Nissan Corp. They documented my complaint and close the file. My proof of ownership is attached. Reed Nissan is replacing part #25320-ax10A, brake switch on my 2017 Nissan Armada. VIN #....... the parts and labor equal, $250.27. The price is not my issue, let's be clear. I am concerned about my safety. This morning my vehicles transmission started to slip, followed by the inability to stop!!! I almost rear ended another vehicle. The vehicle started to smoke. I was luckily able to get out of the road with little to no brake left to stop my vehicle. This is dangerous. Someone is going to die if this part is not recalled and corrected. I had just dropped my 8 month old and 2 year old off to daycare!!! I was told by riley they have replaced this part on multiple Armada's and Nissan has failed to recall this part.

2017 vehicle hesitated while leaving a drive through, would not shift from park. At next venue, the vehicle failed to start. Owner attempted to start vehicle with remote start. The engine turned on, however, upon entry when the owner pressed the start and placed foot on the brake, the vehicle shut off. The vehicle was then towed to the dealership where repairs were made to a stop sensor, however, the vehicle is still hesitating.
