2004 Nissan Armada

We just keep having endless safety issues. We would be on freeway and all of a sudden it would stop while driving on Freeway!and car going really fast,and almost hitting us my whole family terrified..once in a heavey under pass where supper busy of big rigs almost hitting us one of the most terrifying things you can feel of almost being hit,and this vehicle is super heavey,and cannot push by my self with back injury and my wife with really bad Heart condion , at times it would only go 25 to 35 miles per hour.. my widows keep falling my lightingi I have done everything possible and replaced almost everything, then another problem we depend on what we have and need for our doctors appointment and sometimes don’t start and when it is turn off it dose this noise.. etc can you help me, I don’t have money to keep spending on this car moo put something is very wrong

THE VEHICLE WILL START HAVING ERRATIC RPMS, HESITATION TO ACCELERATE, ENGINE RPMS WILL NOT GO ABOVE 2000-2500 OR BELOW 1000-300 WITHOUT SEVERE HESITATION, THEN SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING NO MATTER IF STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TOTAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL HAPPENS... NO BRAKES, POWER STEERING, NO ACCELERATION. EVERY LIGHT TURNS ON ON DASH AND IF YOUR DRIVING AT THE TIME YOU BETTER HOPE THAT YOU CAN QUICKLY THROW IT IN NEUTRAL, CRANK THE ENGINE AT LEAST 2-4 TIMES BEFORE IT'LL START UP, THEN KICK IT BACK IN DRIVE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN SO YOU CAN PULL OVER SOMEWHERE SAFE BEFORE YOU GET INTO A SERIOUS WRECK. TAKING IT TO NISSAN WAS POINTLESS SINCE AFTER YOU GET THE ARMADA RESTARTED, IT DOESN'T RETAIN ANY CODES THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN USE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM NOR CAN THE MECHANIC REPLICATE THE ISSUE ON TEST DRIVES. AT WHICH POINT I LOOK LIKE I'M THE CRAZY ONE, THEN THEY SEND ME OFF ON MY WAY WITH NO ANSWERS. THE ONLY OTHER PROBLEM THAT THE ARMADA HAD LONG BEFORE THIS PROBLEM, DURING IT, AND CURRENTLY IS A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHICH, TOO, IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT PLAGUES OTHER ARMADAS WHICH NISSAN REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS HARD TO SUPPORT WITH PICS OR DOCUMENTS SINCE IT ALMOST ALWAYS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION SO YOU'RE TOO OCCUPIED TRYING NOT TO KILL YOURSELF OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD AND WHEN YOU DO GO TO NISSAN THERE NO CODES TO PULL SINCE I GUESS THE VEHICLE ERASES IT AFTER THE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. FEELS LIKE I'M CHASING MY TAIL...

I AM WRITING AS A FOLLOW UP TO A NEWS ARTICLE OUT TODAY THAT TALKS ABOUT HOW CRACKS IN FORD EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE MAKING VEHICLE OWNERS/DRIVERS/PASSENGERS SICK THROUGH POISONING GASES ENTERING THE CABIN: HTTPS://WWW.BLOOMBERG.COM/GRAPHICS/2019-FORD-EXPLORER-OWNERS-SAY-SUVS-MAKING-THEM-SICK/ THIS IS NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE WITH THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. THERE ARE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN ARMADA/TITAN EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKING AND EMITTING TOXIC GASES, FROM 2004 ON UP. THESE VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH A 5.4L ENGINE, ARE HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKING AND EXHAUSTING GAS. THIS EXHAUST GAS CAN EASILY MAKE IT'S WAY INTO THE VEHICLE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, AND CAUSE SICKNESS, DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, OR POSSIBLY EVEN DEATH FROM CO2 POISONING. THE PROBLEM SO BAD ON THESE VEHICLES, THAT AFTERMARKET COMPANIES HAVE FOR MANY YEARS NOW STARTED MAKING EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT HAVE REINFORCEMENTS WELDED ONTO THE AREAS OF THE STOCK MANIFOLD THAT REGULARLY INCUR THESE CRACKS. THE JOB IS EXTENSIVE, HOWEVER, AND MANY VEHICLE OWNERS CANNOT AFFORD THESE REPAIRS. MANY VEHICLE OWNERS LIKELY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS MAKING THEM SICK. HERE ARE SOME VIDEOS/FORUMS THAT EXPLAIN THE MUCH NEEDED RECALL: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=1V7F2SX6B64 HTTPS://WWW.TITANTALK.COM/FORUMS/TITAN-PROBLEMS-DEALER-SERVICE/130198-EXHAUST-MANIFOLD-RECALL.HTML HTTPS://WWW.CLUBARMADA.COM/FORUMS/8-ENGINE-DRIVETRAIN/22309-CRACKED-EXHAUST-MANIFOLD.HTML HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/TITAN/2004/EXHAUST_SYSTEM/EXHAUST_MANIFOLDS_CRACKED.SHTML HTTPS://WWW.JUSTANSWER.COM/NISSAN/5J40C-NISSAN-DATSUN-ARMADA-SE-2006-NISSAN-ARMADA-JUST.HTML HTTPS://WWW.CLUBTITAN.ORG/FORUMS/13-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/63695-EXHAUST-MANIFOLD-RECALL-3.HTML HTTPS://REPAIRPAL.COM/NISSAN/TITAN/RECALLS HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/NISSAN/TITAN/MANIFOLD-HEADER-MUFFLER-TAIL-PIPE-PROBLEMS.PHP
