I own a 2017 Nissan Armada with factory paint color QAB Pearl White. The paint has begun peeling and separating from the primer in multiple areas despite normal use and proper care. This appears to be a premature paint failure or manufacturing defect, not normal wear. I am requesting Nissan review this issue for goodwill repair or extended paint warranty consideration.
Back Over Prevention · reported Feb 4, 2026
Bci malfunction light comes on after driving for about one mile and will stay like that till the vehicle is turned off. The cruise control will not work during this time. On other online forum a lot of nissan owners have the same issue but nissan dealership said that there is no recall on this. I did purchase new brake switches both of them and it got worse. A bunch of other lights come on and the car will not start at all. I removed the new brake switches and cleaned the old ones. Put them back and is doing the same thing were after one mile the bci light will come on.

Iâve had to replace the battery three times in three years that Iâve owned the vehicle I purchased it used. The transmission jerks like itâs slipping. It has done this ever since I purchased it no recalls on transmission. The side door airbag sensor is defective. The airbag light flashes on the dashboard took it to the new Nissan dealership was gonna cost five to $7000 for the sensor so that airbag will not deploy in the driver side door.
