The electrical system and battery/charging system of my 2020 Nissan Armada have repeatedly failed. The vehicle experiences unexplained battery drain, even after extended driving. The issue is ongoing and the vehicle is currently connected to a trickle charger in my garage to remain operational. I am willing to make the vehicle available for inspection upon request.  How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This defect has caused my vehicle to become inoperable without warning, leaving me stranded multiple times, including once after work at night. I now must carry a portable jump starter at all times. This is a serious safety concern, especially if the battery failure were to occur in a remote area, during extreme weather, or in an emergency situation. I can no longer rely on my vehicle to start normally.  Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. The issue has been confirmed and documented by Arlington Heights Nissan (Illinois). I have had the battery replaced twice, but the issue continues. The master mechanic at the dealership even admitted he owns the same model and uses a trickle charger himself. He stated that the root cause may be the \u201csmart alternator\u201d system, and the only fix they offered was to cut a wire for $300.  Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? Yes. The vehicle has been inspected multiple times by an authorized Nissan dealership. It has not been reviewed by police or insurance, as the issue has not led to a collision, but remains an ongoing safety risk.  Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure? When did they first appear? There were no warning lights or dashboard alerts before each battery failure. The issue began shortly after I took delivery of it","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"NISSAN","productModel":"ARMADA","manufacturer":"Nissan North America, Inc."}]}]}
