I have the same problem with my tires, after 11000 miles all four of my tires are worn out inside. what I heard from other tire shops, that not only the armada has the same problem, their Titans, 350 Z and some of their frontiers has the same problems. the cause of these are their chassy or the suspension. you have to go for wheel alignment like every month and rotate them regularly to get longer thread life. I were you, buy a lifetime wheel alignment in your local tire store because we are going to be in a long crappy ride with nissan north america about this problem. by the way do you also have a problem with your brakes? please let me know if you get any info about our problem. And i will let you know also if i heard anything with them.....thanks

My concerns are that the problem may reoccur and I will again have no clue based on the handling of the vehicle. I assure you I will rotate the tires and check the tread wear regularly. Has anyone else had this experience?
Oh yeah, the brakes were toast and the front rotors needed to be replaced and the rear rotors were turned. New pad all around. The braking now feels mushy. Brakes were under warranty. The riretires alignment were pricey. I am writing an appeal to the company rep as I am sure I am not the only one and the problem appears to be a design or QA issue.
As for the brakes, everyone knows of the brake issues, the new brake kits work well as I've had mine for close to 10k miles now w/o issue.

had it been properly aligned the tires should have lasted longer, My 1998 Dodge Durango GY tires went 60,000 miles before I traded it in with one rotation and no alignment. Anyway the Michelins ride great, 5K on them with no wear issues. The new brake fix is going on 7-8k miles with no issues. Now at 30,000 miles with no major problems. Will take it to the dealer for a minor adjustment on the sunroof before the warranty is up. All in all a nice ride, great engine and plenty of room, Avg 13.5 MPG around town 16 Hwy(73-76 MPH AVG.)
Any info would be appreciated :shades:
Has anyone experienced this, even remotely similiar?

I am new to this site and I have just joined you.
I own a 05 Armada and I am happy with it. I bought it 7 to 8 months ago and the only problem I faced was the brake issue Which no longer exist.
Just 4 days ago, I faced a problem (it may not be a problem) where the air bag light (signal) in the main driver board is signaling (flashing) all the time. I checked the user manual and it mentioned that the light should be on for 7 seconds after you start your car. But in my case, it is on all the time.!
Any one faced the same matter?
I appreciate your feedbacks.
Regards,

I apprecaite your feedback and help.
Yes, the new Armada has a split-fold 3rd-row seat. As to whether all the problems have been corrected? I don't know. I would hope most of the problems have been addressed by now.
FWIW, the Infiniti QX56 was just rated the "worst SUV" because of all of the problems they were having. I'm not sure if it was CR, or who rated the QX. I just read that today, but I don't remember where.

The brake issues have been fixed, even on my 04.
It probably got worst SUV cause of the brake issues, however they have been resolved.....

My attorney thinks we will get a buy back. Is the 2006 any bettr or do i move on??? We like the vehicle but hate the problems
I just got back from a 1200 mile trip in 48hrs in all conditions from 60 degrees to near zero temps with freezing rain and snow.
I'm very impressed with the VDC system on our vehicles, worked very well at high speeds on icey roads in the mountains. I was able to keep up with the subarus in our group drive!

The mdx and the 4runner drive nicely while being quick with similar horsepower numbers. In case you're wondering about the 3rd row of seats, i need one to get rid of the need to drive two vehicle to places, mostly short distances. While the 4runner isn't the "better" choice for the third row, it will only be used 1 a month, at most. While on 3 row seats, dosen't have to have lexus comfort, it just needs to be usable and can fit a carseat. Help please..!!!!!!!!!!
ps, don't want a :lemon: .

We're getting a bit far afield from the Armada in here (hint, hint).

REASON
I prefer a 2wd armada over the AWD mdx because i live in south florida therefore AWD is useless. Gas mileage is no longer as much of an issue because gas prices are around $2.18 and have short commutes. The big fuel tank means more miles on a long distance trip, right??? :confuse:
From what I heard, the Qx56 is the :lemon: but there is a 60% chance of getting a good Armada. They're becoming more popular where I live than an accord.
We love our Armada LE and will buy another in the future.

I have known several people that when they can't get help from their Nissan dealer. Call the 800 line and that gets results.
