In owners' own words
Having issues with my dome lights staying on, once all the doors, are closed. I've had this checked 3 times, at 2 different Nissan's and know one can find the issue. I'm putting it in the shop, later this week I've had to replace the battery, do to the dome lights, being on and I have no knowledge until my family comes home, or my neighbor lets us know. I just purchased this vehicle in march 2020. Electrical system
In august 2020, I had to jump start my Armada due to battery drained while parked. The very next day, same thing happened. Nissan reprogrammed ecm in september due to recall. Worked fine until october 21, when the same problem occurred again. I drove it that morning, but when I tried to start it that afternoon, it would not start and the interior just flash on and off. Had to jump start again. Electrical system
Almost new battery, it checked out okay; Alternator appears to be providing proper Voltage and Current. Issue is excessive drain and once the temperature drops the Car/Suv will not start and needs a jump start and then on all great. To me issue appears to be battery drain more then expected. We will do further diagnosis on component level and see which one is draining more than expected. Electrical system
Verbatim from NHTSA filings. Complaints are unverified owner reports.
