DRIVING ALONG AND VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND SHUTS DOWN, COASTING TO A STOP. UNABLE TO RESTART. GAS GAUGE SHOWS APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TANK OF GAS REMAINING YET IT WILL NOT START. UPON GETTING SOME GAS AND PUTTING IT IN TANK, VEHICLE STARTS AGAIN AND CONTINUES TO RUN AND IS DRIVEN TO GAS STATION FOR ADDITIONAL GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON APPROXIMATELY 10 OCCASIONS. CALLED THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIR RECALL ON FUEL SENDING UNITS FOR NISSAN ARMADAS DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. WAS INSTRUCTED TO SEEK FURTHER ASSISTANCE AND DIAGNOSIS FROM DEALER OR REPAIR SHOP OF MY CHOICE. DECLINED TO REPAIR & SERVICE MY VEHICLE REGARDING MY COMPLAINT. FURTHER RESEARCH ON MY PART HAS FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY NISSAN ARMADA VEHICLES THAT DO NOT FALL UNDER THE NISSAN RECALL UMBRELLA, WITH NISSAN DECLINING TO ADDRESS OR REPAIR THOSE VEHICLES AS WELL. NISSAN REFUSES TO RESEARCH INTO THESE COMPLAINTS WITH A BLANKET DENIAL THAT THESE VEHICLES DO NOT FALL INTO THEIR 'DETERMINED' LIST OF VEHICLE AFFECTED WITH THIS ISSUE. I WOULD MERELY LIKE MY COMPLAINT TO BE ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED ACCORDINGLY. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN JULY 2005. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN ARMADA FUEL GAUGE IS READING INCORRECTLY. WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE GETS DOWN TO 1/4 OF A TANK IT STOPS REGISTERING. I FOUND THIS OUT BECAUSE TWICE I THOUGHT I HAD A 1/4 OF A TANK LEFT BUT THERE WAS ACTUALLY NO GAS IN MY TANK AND I RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN OF MCKINNEY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL AND COULDN'T FIX IT, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL FOR THE ARMADA. I SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN AND THEY REJECTED MY REQUEST TO HAVE NISSAN PAY FOR IT BECAUSE MY VIN WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. IF NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE ARAMDA WHY WOULDN'T ALL ARMADA BE COVERED? *TR

Official recalls
3Oct 28, 2010
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.
Mar 3, 2010
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2009 TITAN, ARMADA, AND INFINITI QX56 VEHICLES. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE MAY INACCURATELY DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL SENDER UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW IMPROVED SENDER CARD. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
Jun 27, 2008
NISSAN IS RECALLING 180,664 MY 2005-2006 TITAN, ARMADA AND INFINITY QX56 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER MARCH 17, 2005, THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH A VISTEON AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR. THE FAN MOTOR MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SEALED ALLOWING EXCESSIVE WATER INTRUSION AND INADEQUATE DRAINAGE OF MOISTURE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE CORROSION IN THE MOTOR LEADING POSSIBLY TO OVERHEATING AND A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A 'THERMAL PROTECTOR KIT' AND TEST THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER FAN MOTOR AND REPLACE IT IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 2, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
