Armadaof1

Phew! Just finished reading through the Titan comments. Fortunately my experience with my 2004 Armada is less painful and I have nothing but good things to say about the dealership response to what problems I have had.

The list...

1. Pulled to the right. Initial check by the dealer showed a 12psi difference between the right front and left front tires. Still pulled to the right. Dealer put it on the rack, realigned, rebalanced the tires - all is well. And did I mention that this truck drives great!
2. Passenger seat creaked like you read about! Wow! Drove us temporarily insane while we awaited a backordered seatback hinge. Dealer installed the part and the seat not only is quiet, but it actually is more comfortable. Psychological - maybe - but it is a better ride than before.
3. No floor mats. Is it just me, or should you expect floor mats (rubber or carpet) in a $40k truck?
4. The overhead console squeak and rattle. This continues. Right above the second row seat (where the stereo/climate controls hang), Nissan engineers decided the console only requires clips vice bolts/screws. The result is a lot of irritating noise when the air temp is below 55 degrees (yes - we've been watching). Three times into the dealer with only temporary relief. I wrote Nissan corp - recv'd a nice phone call and an assurance that if I take it back to the dealer it will be fixed. If not, call them and it will be.
5. Gas mileage. I'm seeing 14-16mpg vice 15-19. But what do you expect with 5000lbs of vehicle, 300hp and 385lb-ft of torque. I did the math and the family trek fm Seattle to southern california will cost me an extra $100 over taking the station wagon.

Like I said, the truck is great. And the dealership has been very responsive and professional.

Anyone else out there with similar or not so similar experiences?
