WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, MY ARMADA ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND OTHERS CAME ON! I WAS TERRIFIED AS I FLOATED THRU TRAFFIC TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT! I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND COULD ONLY SWERVE ACROSS FAST LANE TO GET NEAR THE FREEWAY DIVIDER AND OUT OF TRAFFIC! LET'S JUST SAY I GOT OVER RIGHT IN THE NICK OF TIME! THE TRUCK DIED OUT COMPLETELY! FUEL GAUGE SHOWED I HAD ABOUT 1/4 TANK OF GAS SO I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY ENGINE. I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 4 DAYS PRIOR (NO WARRANTY) SO I WAS REALLY UNSURE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON! STATE PATROL HELPED GET ME OVER TO TOWING ZONE AND I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED HOME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HE STATED THAT THE GAS GAUGE MIGHT BE OFF A BIT AND TO GO AHEAD AND ADD GAS. I DID AS INSTRUCTED AND MY TRUCK STARTED RIGHT BACK UP! I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH SAME ISSUE WHICH CAUSED NISSAN TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM- RECALL ID# 68293, CAMPAIGN# 10VO74000. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER SVCS AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SPECIFIC RECALL BUT TO TAKE IT IN TO DEALER TO VERIFY/ CONFIRM ISSUE. I DID SO THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND THE MECHANIC AT OLYMPIA NISSAN GLADLY CONFIRMED ISSUE WITH FUEL SENDING UNIT AND WAS QUOTED $465.00 PLUS TAX TO REPLACE, WHICH NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER. SURPRISINGLY, I RECEIVED A CALL EARLIER TODAY FROM MELODY WITH NISSAN CONSUMER SVCS TO INFORM ME THAT SHE WAS ESCALATING MY ISSUE REGARDING FUEL SYSTEM. I COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY WITH THE TRUCK LOSING POWER LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY WHEN GAS GAUGE CLEARLY SHOWS TRUCK STILL HAS GAS! AS OF THAT DAY, I NOW MAKE SURE TRUCK HAS A FULL TANK OF GAS AT ALL TIMES! :/ NISSAN SHOULD STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE DEFECTS BEFORE IT CAUSES FATAL ACCIDENTS. *TR

Official recalls

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.

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.
