I bought this car in 2005. The 4WD has never performed correctly. I have taken it back to the dealership numerous times and it still doesn't work. Of course, now the vehicle is way out of warranty, and Nissan will not pay for any repairs despite the fact that it hasn't worked right from the moment I bought it. I've never been able to use the 4WD system for any length of time. I've seen other posts on several other forums about this same problem. For now, I've taken the front differential out of my vehicle, and a friend of mine is going to see if there's a fix for it. I think it's obvious that the Armada and titan have design flaws concerning the front differential. I keep hearing about leaking and blown seals. I like the car, but I paid for a 4WD vehicle and I think I should have one. Is there any action I can take" against Nissan maybe? maybe they could pay me to be ok with their faulty vehicle" I've owned several Nissan before and had no problems, but I'm thinking that I'll never buy another one because of this. If there's a class-action lawsuit against Nissan for this, sign me up. Or maybe we could file one.

On the listed date above our family was on en route to our vacation destination, traveling in our Armada with camper in tow. While going thru the mountains in Virginia we had lost all power to our transmission causing us to pull over onto the shoulder of the expressway. After some time we where finally able to get towed to a dealership in covington. As soon as the service manager looked at the vehicle he new exactly what had happened. He explained that the tail pipe had disconnected from the muffler and that the hot exhaust burned up the wire harness that controlled all the power to the transmission. This they had seen and fixed 4 to 5 times at this dealership. My complaint is that the piping from the muffler some how eroded away and disconnected allowing the exhaust to burn up the wire harness, as well as the hose that supplies the compressed air to the air shocks. This to me is a very serious safety issue. Fortunately we were in the right hand lane and no other vehicles were near to cause a potential accident. We were able to get over safely although we had lost all transmission power going up this mountain. Not sure if anybody else has reported this safety issue. But Nissan must know about it based on the service manager seeing this that many times. Why would one have your electric wiring running so close to a potential hot source that could disable your vehicle while driving? I recently was talking to a coworker who has a 2004 Armada and told him about what happened to us. He had said that he just had his tail pipe welded back on but had it done at a muffler shop so this was not documented at a dealership. He had said that he could smell something burning but he had no other issues. He was lucky and he may want to check it out because of the experience that I had. Please look into this because I feel it is a serious safety issue.

When cruising at low speed when I release the gas pedal to let the truck coast, it feels like the brakes get applied slightly and the truck starts to loose speed. In my experience with all my automatic transmission cars is that when you release the gas pedal the car would coast and loose speed gradually. But in my Armada it almost feels like the brakes are being applied very slightly.
