| Description of the problem | on may 5 2015 my family and i were driving on the 84 going east. When suddenly we heard a loud noise and the nissan armada started vibrating and we had to make an emergency stop on the side of the highway. When my husband looked under the truck the drive shaft had broken off completely with out any warning. The drive shaft damaged the transmission and the muffler the exhaust and another thing i dont know the name. We were very lucky that the truck didn't flip over. I called nissan letting them know of this issue they told me that they will get back to me on monday. This is very dangerous and all drive shafts should be recalled and replaced free. My husband already replaced ours but just the cost of all the repairs is well over 2000 dollars which in my opinion nissan corp should be paying for. |
