2004 Nissan Armada

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.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEM WITH 2004 NISSAN ARMADA' FUEL GAUGE, SIMILAR TO A RECALL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEN NISSAN MOTOR USA. THEY SAID SINCE MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL AT THIS TIME I HAVE TO PAY $99 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, AND THEN SEND REPORT TO NISSAN MOTORS FOR CONSIDERATION. THEY ARE REFUSING TO ADD MY VIN FOR THIS RECALL, AND TO HAVE THE DEALER CHECK FREE OF CHARGE AND FIX IF ISSUE IS SAME AS THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL SPILLED TO THE GROUND. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 113,595.

MY ARMADA SHOWED THAT THERE WAS FUEL IN THE TANK. THE GAUGE ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE TRIP COMPUTER BOTH SHOWED THERE WAS A TANK OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAD RAN OUT OF GAS. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS BAD IN THE ARMADA AND IF I WERE LUCKY MY VEHICLE MAY BE PART OF THE RECALL. MY ARMADA IS A 2004, RECALLS WERE DONE FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON 2005 MODELS AND ABOVE. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO RECALL THE 2004 MODEL. SAFETY ISSUE FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE 2004 MODEL ARMADA BE ADDED TO SAFETY RECALL NTB10037. THIS FAULT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE THE GAUGE STILL SHOWS UP TO A QUARTER TANK REMAINING. LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL OF VEHICLE WHICH MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS. *TR
