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.
THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
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.

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 AND MODEL YEAR 2008 FRONTIER, XTERRA AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES. THE MOLDED FUEL TANK SHELLS CAN DEFORM, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY.
THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL IN TRAFFIC, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW ONE THAT HAS A MODIFIED FLOAT ARM. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

CERTAIN HOPKINS AFTERMARKET TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL CONNECTION HARNESSES SOLD FOR USE ON CERTAIN MODELS OF NISSAN VEHICLES WHICH ARE LISTED ABOVE. THE INTERNAL PART NUMBERS WITHIN HOPKINS ARE: 1010476025, 1040376025, 1110476025, 1170376025, 1290376025, 1010476035, 1040376035, 1110476035, 1170376035, AND 1290376035. A WIRE MAY HAVE BEEN PLACED IN AN INCORRECT POSITION IN THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HOUSING. THIS RESULTS IN AN INCORRECT ROUTING OF WIRES BETWEEN THE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER AND THE TOWING VEHICLE WIRING SYSTEM.
THIS HARNESS WOULD RESULT IN POWER FROM THE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER GOING TO THE TOWING VEHICLE DASH LIGHT CIRCUIT RATHER THAN THE TRAILER BRAKES. THIS RESULT WOULD BE THE LACK OF TRAILER BRAKING WHEN THE TOWING VEHICLE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. IT WOULD ALSO RESULT IN THE TOWING VEHICLES DASH LIGHTS BEING ACTIVATED WHEN THE VEHICLE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE FAILURE OF THE APPLICATION OF THE TRAILER BRAKE COULD RESULT IN REDUCED ABILITY TO STOP AND CONTRIBUTE TO A POSSIBLE CRASH.
HOPKINS WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE ORIGINAL HARNESS WITH A REVISED HARNESS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN AUGUST 17, 2007. OWNERS CAN CONTACT HOPKINS AT 800-835-0129.

SERVICE BULLITIN CLASSIFICATION EM09-007, REFRENCE NTB09-128, POSTED NOVEMBER 16, 2009. BUZZING/WHINING NOISE FROM TIMING CHAIN AREA. HAVE CONTACTED AND STOPPED BY DEALERSHIP TO INFORM THEM ABOUT ISSUE I WAS HAVING. SHOWED TECH THERE THE SERVICE BULLITIN AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH NUMEROUS VEHICLES. I WAS GIVEN THE ONLY WAY IT WAS COVERED BY NISSAN WAS IF THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. IF IT WERE NOT COVERD THAT WAY THEN I, THE CUSTOMER, WERE RESPONSIBLE TO ALL THE COST AND AND RENTAL FEES IF I CHOSE TO GET ONE WHILE IT WAS IN THE SERVICE CENTER. I WAS GIVEN THE COST ESTIMATED AT $1800 DOLLARS AND THERE WAS NO GUARENTEE THAT IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM.. AND HAVE A NICE DAY. LEFT VERY FRUSTERATED KNOWING THERE WERE THOUSANDS MORE IN THE SAME SITUATION I'M IN NOW.

I HAVE HAD THE COOLANT PROBLEM FIXED. THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE U-JOINTS. I HAVE HAD TO BUY NEW GAS CAPS TO GET MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO OFF. NOW THERE IS A TERRIBLE LEAK AND A NOISE THAT IS SO BAD. I TOOK IT INTO A LOCAL SHOP AND IT IS THE TIMING CHAIN. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND NOW IT IS SO BAD THAT I CAN'T SELL IT BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS IT AND I AM NOW SO UPSIDE DOWN IN MY LOAN BECAUSE THE VALUE IS GOING DOWN SO MUCH THAT I CAN'T TRADE IT IN.

PURCHASED PATHFINDER IN 2013 WITH 140,000 MILES FROM A DEALERSHIP. AFTER LESS THAN 3 YEARS AND 20,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE AND IT WILL COST OVER 4,000 TO FIX WHILE I AM STILL FINANCING OVER 9,000 FOR IT. ALL EXTENDED WARRANTY DEADLINES AND LIMITATIONS HAVE EXPIRED BEFORE I HAD EVEN PURCHASED THE CAR. IT IS AMAZING THAT FOR SUCH A SEVERE ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN DETRIMENTAL TO MANY BASED ON MY RESEARCH, THAT NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE MORE REALISTIC AND HELPFUL WARRANTY STANDARDS. I AM NOT A LOSS AT WHAT TO DO AND NISSAN OR DEALERSHIP HAS OFFERED ANY HELP.

Other or unspecified, Jan 28, 2016
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED HUNDREDS OF TIMES. I HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES, AND WAS PUT IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING MY CAR. AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TWO LANES AND INTO THE PATH OF ONCOMING VEHICLES, THE CAR STUTTERED, ALL OF THE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING, POWER STEERING WENT OUT, AND THE GAS NOR BREAK WOULD WORK. I WAS HALFWAY THROUGH MY TURN WHEN I REALIZED MY PATHFINDER JUST SHUT DOWN-I HAD NO WARNINGS, OR TROUBLE WITH THE CAR COMING UP TO MAKING MY TURN. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE STREET I WAS TURNING ONTO IT WAS BY THE GRACE OF GOD I DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. COME TO FIND OUT THE RADIATOR LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO CONTAMINATE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ESSENTIALLY BLOW THE TRANSMISSION. REPAIR IS OVER $7000 FROM TWO DIFFERENT BODY SHOPS AS WELL AS A NISSAN CERTIFIED SERVICE CENTER. I OF COURSE WAS NOT HAPPY WHEN I WAS TOLD MY MILEAGE EXCEEDED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. I WAS ALSO SAD TO FIND OUT NISSAN WASN'T DOING ANYTHING FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS, DESPITE THE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS AND LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST NISSAN WASN'T DOING ANYTHING FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS, DESPITE THE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS AND LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST THEM. THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT CONSUMER SAFETY'EVEN AFTER THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING WITH HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF THEIR VEHICLES. I AM HOPING NISSAN WILL DO THE RIGHT THING, AND MAKE IT RIGHT. THEY SHOULDN'T BE WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE TO MAKE A CHANGE. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY DON'T CARE TO DO ANYTHING AND LESS THERE IS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAUSED BY THIS ISSUE
Power train, Jan 22, 2016
VEHICLE JERKS AND STALLS AND EVEN CUTS OFF DURING DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND WENT TO CHANGE LANES AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD QUICKLY BUT I HAD NO ENGINE POWER. I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND CALLED MY HUSBAND TO PICK ME UP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED US THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD CONTAMINATED THE ANTI-FREEZE AND VICE VERSA AND THAT I'D NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR INSTALLED FOR $5500.00. HE ALSO ADDED THAT NISSAN HAD JUST LOST A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BUT THE CATCH IS THAT YOUR VEHICLE CAN NOT HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT. FROM MY RESEARCH IN THE FORUMS, THE ISSUE DOES NOT ARISE UNTIL THE VEHICLE MILEAGE EXCEEDS 100,000, SO WE'RE BASICALLY SCREWED FOR REPAIRS ON OUR NISSANS WITH 100,001 MILES OR MORE. I'M DOUBLE SCREWED AS I HAVE 2 2006 NISSAN'S. MY OTHER VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY INOPERABLE DUE TO ATF CONTAMINATION.
