There are 2 owner-reported visibility & wipers complaints for the 2011 Nissan Armadain NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
This is a structural issue. The panel on the side between the windshield and the front door windows are too wide. It causes a blindspot. If pedestrians are standing a just the right position of where this panel blocks the pedestrians can not be seen. Every time before turning I have to physically lean forward to lean back to see if someone is in the blindspot. On 3 occasions, I came very close to hitting pedestrians who were in the blindspot and I could not see. One of which were 3 people one being a child. I am not able to see them until I begin my turn and then have to slam on the brakes once they are in my view.
DRIVER SIDE MIRROR SHAKES OR VIBRATES AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS (CITY AND HIGHWAY) ON FLAT PAVED ROADS. THE SHAKE OR VIBRATION IS EXCESSIVE MAKING THE IMAGES OF VEHICLES SHAKY. IT IS WORSE IN THE NIGHT TIME WITH SHAKY IMAGES OF HEADLIGHTS. IT CAN BE CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLES IN THE MIRROR ARE NOT CLEARLY VISIBLE LEADING TO NEAR COLLISION DURING CHANGING LANES. REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO REPLACE THE MIRROR WITH THE DEALER HAS NOT CORRECTED THE ISSUE AND THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS THAT IT IS A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE MIRROR. PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR HAS ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUES I.E.. NO SHAKES OR VIBRATIONS AT ANY SPEED IN CITY OR HIGHWAY.
Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. A high complaint count may reflect vehicle popularity, not defect severity. Data sourced from NHTSA public records.
