2025 Nissan ARMADA: complaints, problems and recalls

The component causing the issue is the rearview mirror of my 2025 Nissan Armada Platinum. This issue occurs only at night or in low-light conditions when the automatic anti-glare feature activates. When this feature turns on and a vehicle is behind me with its headlights on, the rearview mirror becomes foggy/cloudy, significantly obstructing my rear visibility. This is a serious safety concern as it severely limits my ability to see vehicles, pedestrians, and objects behind me, especially during critical maneuvers such as lane changes, reversi…

The wireless charging pad gets so hot that it will issue a temperature warning on my phone and shut it off until it cools down. After researching, it's a common issue for the year and Make of my vehicle. I feel like this is a fire hazard. I drive with my grandson who is still in a car seat, it's a concern that if the car caught on fire, could I get him out of the car seat fast enough. I know Nissan is aware of the issue but so far, they haven't issued a solution. I have used wireless charging pads in Ford and Toyota vehicles and have never had …

We came from a 2020 Telluride which had the steering assist and it was awesome. It worked great and kept the vehicle centered in the lane. I bought this vehicle about two weeks ago and we put over 4000 miles this week on the pro4x with the pilot 1.1. This thing is all over the road and it hugs the right line then with any curve even the slightest, it acts like a ping pong ball putting the line to line and have to fight it to straighten it out. We played with the lane assist settings also and no matter which one it’s on, (except for off) if does…

While driving my 2025 Nissan Armada Platinum Reserve during morning rush hour traffic and moving with the speed of traffic, the accelerator (gas) pedal assembly physically broke off, causing an immediate loss of throttle control. The failure occurred in active traffic at a busy intersection located at the top of a hill, leaving the vehicle stranded partially in a turn lane and straight-through lane. I was unable to safely move the vehicle out of traffic due to the pedal detaching from its mounting point. There were no warning lights, no prior…

After driving in snow the rear lift gate opens unexpectedly when walking behind the vehicle. This happened while the car was parked in my garage and I walked behind the car causing the rear hatch to open pinning me between the vehicle and the garage door. I was able to push it closed, howevere, if this happened to my wife or my grandson they could have been injured because they would not have the strength to push it. This happened again after our snow last week causing it to open while the garage door was open. The tailgate crashed into the ga…

The rear liftgate of the vehicle has a kick motion sensor. The liftgate kick sensor is poorly calibrated causing the liftgate to unintentionally open from distances up to 6 feet away from the vehicle as long as the vehicle is unlocked or the key is nearby. This is a serious safety concern being reported by hundreds of owners. Nissan dealerships currently do not report any company information to remedy the issue. I am concerned with many issues where an unintentional opening of the lift gate may cause bodily harm to me, others, or damage to my v…

Reported: 2025-11-26 (November 26, 2025)

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2025 Murano, 2025-2026 Armada, and Infiniti QX80 vehicles. A software error may occur in the In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system at vehicle startup, resulting in the rearview camera image not displaying when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Consequence: A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: The IVI system software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 2, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti's customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R25D6, R25D5, and R25D7. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning December 12, 2025.

The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the certification label is incorrect, which can allow the vehicle to be overloaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

Remedy: Dealers will install new labels, free of charge. Additionally, Nissan will mail replacement labels to owners.
