CONTINUOUS BRAKE SHUDDER VIBRATES THRU STEERING WHEEL. SEATS SQUEEK. FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T MOVE TO THE FULL MARK WHEN FUEL NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME FOR THE BRAKE PROBLEM AND THE THIRD TIME FOR THE FUEL GAUGE. THEY REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACE THE ROTORS AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY ALL THESE PROBLEMS IN LESS THAN A YEAR FOR MY 2004 ARMADA. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN ANY RECALLS I SEE ALL THESE COMPLAINTS AND I'VE COMPLAINED MANY TIMES. I THINK WE SHOULD BE REFUNDED OUR MONEY ON THE VEHICLES OR GET A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE 22,000 MILES. AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR THESE SO CALLED REPAIR KITS THAT THERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE ITS BEEN MONTHS. WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO WHEN OUR WARRENTY RUNS OUT!!!
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.
