The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Armada. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 10E019000 (Suspension) and 10V517000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The vehicle was taken to the dealer for recall repairs; however, the dealer only completed the recall repair for 10V517000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact stated that the collar weld of the vehicle was separating. The contact also stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a second dealer - Jim Bone Nissan (1275 Santa Rosa Ave, Santa Rosa, CA 95404) who advised the contact that she would be responsible for the cost of the repair because the VIN was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 205,000.

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...

My cats are going bad after I just spent $600 to get a whole new exhaust system! The car chokes up when I accelerate and almost feels like it will lose power. I also have a code coming up for p0430

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

The radiator released transmission fluid all over my driveway, it was mixed with the coolant and now my gears are stripped. There were recalls about this on the 2005-2010 armadas but when I even went to key in the type of vehicle I have, it isnt recognized. There are no recalls on my car, please research.

10/28/09 right manifold and catalytic converter cracked between 3rd and 4th runners at 56k, 9/28/10 left side cracked at 67k. Both replace under warranty. 03/16, 135k kept complaining of exhaust in cab and being light headed. Brought to mechanic, right side is cracked again! I care for and transport our 2 year old granddaughter while our son is in the military and can't believe this isn't considered a manufacturer defect due to the safety issue. Have always had nissan, love to get another one but not if nissan doesn't back their product.
