Complaints for the 2015 Nissan Armada center heavily on the airbag and seat belt systems. Owners frequently report the airbag warning light illuminating without a preceding collision, with diagnoses pointing to the clockspring and seat-mounted airbag components as common failure points. Several owners describe paying for diagnostics only to find the airbag system flagged as non-functional. Seat belt complaints follow a similar pattern, with owners reporting warning lights and concerns about restraint system readiness. Electrical complaints are fewer but include a radio and HVAC control unit that cuts out while the vehicle is running, and a reverse light that fails to work even after bulb replacement.

With Injuries
By System
The 2015 Nissan Armada has 4 recalls, the most serious being a driver's airbag inflator that can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
A separate transmission recall covers vehicles from a specific early production window: a parking pawl that does not fully engage can allow the vehicle to roll even with the shifter in Park, creating a rollaway risk. The front seatbelt buckles are the subject of two recalls that describe the same underlying problem across different production periods: the driver's and front passenger's buckles may either fail to latch properly or refuse to release when the button is pressed, meaning the belt may not hold an occupant in a crash or may trap one afterward.
