2007 Nissan Armada problems
The Nissan Armada (retrospectively referred to unofficially as the Nissan Pathfinder Armada) is a full-size SUV manufactured by Nissan for the North American market. From 2003 to 2015, the first-generation Armada was assembled in Canton, Mississippi based on the Nissan Titan. From mid-2016 onwards, the second-generation Armada has been built in Yukuhashi, Kyushu, Japan and shares the same platform as the Nissan Patrol, with American-specific modifications, and went on sale in late mid-2016 as a 2017 model. A luxury version of the Armada has been sold as the Infiniti QX80 (originally QX56).
First generation (TA60; 2004)
The 2004 model Pathfinder Armada was unveiled on April 17, 2003, at the New York International Auto Show. Developed under Carlos Ghosn's NRP (Nissan Revival Plan), development was done in September 1999 to 2003 under lead designers Shiro Nakamura and Diane Allen and chief engineers Yuzo Sakita and Larry Dominique. In January 2001, a final exterior design by Giovanny Arroba had been approved by Sakita, Allen, Nakamura, and Nissan executive management, with the final design freeze being completed in July 2001. It is assigned the platform code TA60.
Prototypes based on the Y61 Patrol were hand-assembled as mules from 2001, with the first TA60-specific prototypes being completed and sent to testing in early 2002. Design patents were filed in 2003, with production starting on August 14, 2003, and going on sale on October 1, 2003.
The Armada had a 5.6 L VK56DE V8 engine that made 305 hp (227 kW) and 385 lb⋅ft (522 N⋅m) of torque. This was mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission, and the Armada had a choice of either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. There are some Armadas that are capable of using E85. It has a towing capacity of up to 9,000 lb (4,000 kg).
The rear door handles are installed on the "C" pillar as part of a Nissan design tradition that started with the 1986 Nissan Pathfinder. When the four-door Pathfinder was introduced, Nissan chose to conceal the door handles as a part of the "C" pillar trim to visually make it appear like a two-door truck with a camper shell, with conventional door handles on the front doors.
The switch to the Armada name occurred in September 2004 for the 2005 model year, where it received new badges without "Pathfinder." The 2005 model year also included a backup camera.

Common 2007 Nissan Armada problems
Based on complaints from owners of the 2007 Nissan Armada, several common problems have been reported:

- Interior Accessory Defects: The 2011 Armada has been associated with reports of interior accessory defects, including malfunctions with the CD player, speaker, and cabin air filter.
- Transmission Wiring Harness Rust: The design flaw in the Armada's engine allows water to accumulate between the transmission wiring harness and the engine, leading to starting issues and potential engine stalling.
- Catalytic Converter Failure: Many 2005 to 2014 Armada drivers have reported catalytic converter issues, often triggered by a faulty fuel pump or oxygen sensor, resulting in the check engine light coming on.
- Pulsating Brake Pads: Some Armada models, including the 2005, 2006, 2008, and 2011, have been known to develop pulsating brake pads during braking, requiring resurfacing or replacement of brake rotors.

SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-05-27
- VIN: 5n1aa08c77n
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: I was driving in traffic and my breaks went out and I almost got in a collision. The breaks at first didn't work and then were bouncing and grinding to stop and the break warning light came on. I swerved and barely missed another car. I pulled over in a parking lot there was a burning smell and let it sit for 4hr. I took it to get the breaks fixed an they couldn't find any issues with the breaking system except for the Delta Stroke Sensor Failure. I understand this has a been an ongoing issue with cars. One situation killed 3 people and Nissan lost a $25M lawsuit on this. I can't understand why this wouldn't be on a recall as issues with the breaking system is life threatening. My car is now at Nissan getting fixed, has been there for 2 weeks, they still can't figure out the issue with the Delta Sensor breaking system. This is very serious and no matter what age of the car, should be covered under a recall. You can find hundreds of articles online to understand how many cars are affected. Please look into this and issue a recall.

Are you having problems with your 2007 Nissan Armada?
Branson Stark 2025-01-09
I purchased a 2005 Armada and enjoyed it so much that I bought another one in 2007. Although the 2005 model still had the brake issue from the previous year, it was resolved by strengthening the rotors. The vehicle has impressive acceleration and ample space. I have owned my second Armada for nearly three years and have driven 40k miles without any issues, except for a sticking back door latch. The only downside is the gas mileage, which is 11 miles per gallon in the city. The 2005 model achieved 13 miles per gallon under similar driving conditions, although I am unsure of the reason for the difference. On the highway, the vehicle gets between 16 and 17 miles per gallon.
Jayce Stracke 2025-01-05
Great car! It's perfect for use around town, and I especially love the visibility. I can see very well on 4 lane roads. It's kind of a bummer because it spoils me from buying another car or model. All my senior friends love to ride with me because it's so roomy. The interior looks like new and the materials are exceptional.
Jan Turcotte 2024-11-15
I thought long and hard about buying my first truck/SUV that was not a GM product, but I have no regrets at all. We took a short spring break trip and had a blast in the new Armada. I am very impressed with this vehicle so far. It is very quiet and smooth, with a nice sound from the V8! And it is responsive!! My only regret is that I wish I could have afforded the 4WD.
Rodrigo Johnson 2024-11-05
This truck is great! However, there are two areas that could be improved. Firstly, the vanity mirror light is not adjustable, and secondly, the lighting under the hood is insufficient.
Ronaldo Grant 2024-10-29
I am so glad I chose the Armada a year and a half ago! It has class-leading legroom, and my past experience with Nissan SUVs made it an easy choice. Plus, it's built in the US (Mississippi)! I haven't had any problems with it, and even though the mileage isn't great, it's not a big deal for me since I have a short commute and don't put a lot of miles on it. It's an absolute treat to travel in, and my family and I love taking it on driving vacations. I highly recommend it!
