2010 NISSAN ARMADA Structurebody Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT STRUCK A POTHOLE AND THE FRONT AND REAR OVERHEAD CONSOLES ALL FELL DOWN AT ONCE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GWATNEY BUICK GMC (5700 LANDERS RD, NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR 72117, (501) 945-4444) AND RECEIVED A REPAIR ESTIMATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,000.

I ATTEMPTED TO ACCESS THE REAR LIFTGATE HOWEVER, IT FAILED TO OPEN AFTER PUSHING UNLOCK ON THE FOB AS WELL AS UNLOCKING MANUALLY ON THE INTERIOR DOOR. ALSO ATTEMPTED OPENING THE GLASS HATCH AND THAT TOO DOES NOT UNLOCK. SEARCHING ONLINE SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM DATING AS FAR BACK AS 2004. CLUB ARMADA FORUM SUGGESTS IT IS DUE TO THE FAULTY REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR AND/OR FAULTY LOCKING MECHANISM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED YET BUT NEED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND DETERMINE IF IT SI COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
