Hello, On 4.25.25 I took my 2010 Nissan Armada into the Thoroughbred Nissan Dealership in Tucson AZ for the recall on the air bag emblem/cover. They replaced the cover and installed 98510ZQ01C: Kit Service Air bag cover. However my air bag light on the dash is still blinking. So, I googled "2010 nissan armada platinum air bag issues" and found that the AI overview stated: "The 2010 Nissan Armada, including the Platinum trim, has been involved in several recalls related to air bags, including those from Takata inflators. Some issues involve potential ruptures or malfunctions of the inflator module, as well as problems with the driver's air bag cover. " So it appears that there is an air bag inflater issue as well as the emblem/cover issue. Since Thoroughbred Nissan replaced the emblem/cover which was covered under warranty, should they now replace the airbag itself due to issues listed with the Takata air bag inflator? The dealership says that the only recall is on the emblem/resin cover. However Google states: "The 2010 Nissan Armada, including the Platinum trim, has been involved in several recalls related to air bags, including those from Takata inflators. Some issues involve potential ruptures or malfunctions of the inflator module, as well as problems with the driver's air bag cover. " Please let me know if Nissan is recalling my 2010 Takata Airbag as well as the emblem/resin cover so that I can have a working airbag that is safe. Currently airbag light is on and blinking. What do you recommend? Please call [XXX] at [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
We bought this Armada used about two years ago and it had about 85,000 miles on it then. On Monday August 26th 2024 my wife came home and as she pulled in to park the brake pedal went to the floor. The passenger side front steer tire inside was covered in brake fluid. I pulled it in to our garage and removed the tire and had her pump the brake pedal to find the fluid loss spot. Upon inspection I discovered the Steer tire had rubbed through the brake hose causing brake fluid loss. I replaced the hose and inspected the driver side to discover it was almost rubbed through to the cords inside the hose. It will be replaced too. I have saved the passenger side hose and will save the driver hose after I replace it. My pictures are of the passenger side front brake hose.
This vehicles fuel control module has caused my children and me safety to put at risk by vehicle breaking down in the middle of traffic and not capable of starting vehicle back up. thie has been confirmed from trusted mechanic.
