I BOUGHT MY VEH ON 2/7/18 AFTER PURCHASING AND GETTING HOME SEVERAL DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HWY THE LIFT TAIL GATE STARTED TO OPEN AND MY DASHBOARD STARTED TO DING BUT THERE WHERE NO WARNING LIGHTS. I HAD TO PULL OFF HWY REALLY QUICKLY TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. THEN AGAIN ON 2/20/18 THE LIFT GATE DID THIS AGAIN 2 TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID BEFORE THE SECOND INCIDENT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS HAS SCARED ME BOTH TIMES OF HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. I HAVE TURNED THIS INTO NISSAN TWICE AND HAVE STILL NOT HEARD FROM ANYONE WHEN IT WAS TURNED IN ON 2/14/18. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP CHECK THE VEH ON 2/13/18 AND THEY FOUND A DEFECT IN THE BAR THAT OPERATES THIS LIFT AND ALSO A SENSOR ISSUE THAT CONTROLS THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTION AND ALSO A DEFECT IN THE MOTOR ON THE VEH. THEY SAID AFTER THE FIRST TIME THAT THE VEH WAS SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT IT HAPPENING AGAIN AND THEY WERE WRONG AS IT HAD HAPPENED 2 TIMES AFTER THAT. NEITHER TIME WAS ANY BUTTON PRESSED TO OPEN THE LIFT GATE THE VEH WAS MOVING ON THE ROAD.

VEHICLE WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING SPEED LIMIT AT 60MPH. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES WITHIN THE VICINITY OF MY NISSAN ARMADA. SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD POP-SHATTER SOUND. ALMOST LIKE A GUN SHOT OR A VERY LOUD AND CLOSE THUNDER SOUND. I STARTED TO HEAR RATTLING AND I SLIGHTLY OPENED MY SUNROOF SHADE TO SEE SHATTERED GLASS. I CLOSED IT AND WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP.

WHEN PARKED ON STEEP INCLINED DRIVEWAY, THE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT ENGAGE AND VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL. WHEN SHIFTING TO PARK ON STEEP INCLINED DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MOVE UNTIL IT CATCHES. WHEN APPLYING FOOT BRAKE, THEN SHIFTING INTO PARK AND APPLYING PARKING BRAKE THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MOVE UNTIL IT CATCHES. WHEN VEHICLE IS ON FLAT SURFACE AND ONLY PARKING BRAKE IS APPLIED, THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE FORWARD IN NEUTRAL WHEN VEHICLE IS AT HIGH IDLE (WARMING UP) AND WILL MOVE EASILY WITHOUT RESISTANCE WHEN PUT IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. THE PEDAL CAN BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND WILL NOT ENGAGE. THE NISSAN MANUAL STATES IN MAINTENANCE CHAPTER (8-3) PARKING BRAKE: CHECK THE PARKING BRAKE OPERATION REGULARLY. VEHICLE SHOULD BE SECURELY HELD ON A FAIRLY STEEP HILL WITH ONLY THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED. IF THE PARKING BRAKE NEEDS ADJUSTMENT, SEE A NISSAN DEALER. THE MOST COMMON USE FOR A PARKING BRAKE IS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE MOTIONLESS WHEN IT IS PARKED AND TO PREVENT DAMAGE ON THE TRANSMISSION/PARKING PAWL (ESPECIALLY WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE). I HAVE SEEN 2 LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS AND THEY SAY THIS IS NORMAL AND THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION TO FIX THE PARKING BRAKE.
