MY ARMADA SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN IT DOES THE STEERING GOES AND THE BRAKES WON'T WORK. I BOUGHT GOT REAR ENDED TRYING TO GET OFF THE ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I JUST GOT THIS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I LOOKED UP AND SEEN RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM BUT I PUT MY VIN NUMBER IN AND IT SAYS THERE IS NONE FOR MY CAR. IF IT HAS BEEN FIXED PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP THEN ITS WENT OUT AGAIN. AND AGAIN THATS NOT GOOD. THIS COULD GET SOMEONE KILLED! ESP IF I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. I COULDN'T GET OUT OF WAY OF TRAFFIC.

TRAVELING UP A SLIGHT HILL AT ABOUT 20 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED LOSING POWER. THE ENGINE DIED RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. I HAD NO POWER AND NO POWER STEERING. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE I TRIED AND SUCCESSFULLY STARTED THE VEHICLE. IT ATTEMPTED TO DIE AGAIN, BUT I REVVED THE ENGINE AND KEPT IT RUNNING. IT WAS FRIGHTENING TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF WE WERE ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND LOST POWER. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THANKFULLY THE INCIDENT WAS ON A COUNTY ROAD WITH NO TRAFFIC AS WE HAD TWO OF OUR GRANDCHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

TRANSMISSION HAS WATER DAMAGE DUE TO FAULTY RADIATOR. IT APPEARS COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID CHAMBERS HAVE BEEN BREACHED. AFTER WEB RESEARCH THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM NISSAN IS AWARE OF AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSING. *TR
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
