For the 2011 Nissan Armada, engine and brake complaints lead the complaint set. On the engine side, owners describe burning smells, smoke, and rough running or shaking at various speeds. A smaller cluster of complaints points to structural corrosion, specifically rear subframe rust severe enough to allow suspension components to contact the fuel tank. Brake complaints center on pedal behavior: owners report the pedal going nearly to the floor with little stopping effect, sometimes accompanied by what feels like unexpected ABS activation on dry pavement at low speeds. Seat complaints round out the top three, though they are less consistent in what owners describe. The subframe corrosion reports are notable because owners describe the deterioration as significant enough to prompt them to stop driving the vehicle before attempting repairs.
