My nissan armada only has 67k miles on it like brand new it all of a sudden just lost all power I drove it the night before no issues then the next morning there were 3 lights on which were the vdc, slip, and the check engine light. Also, the trunk on the vehicle doesnt unlock when you hit the button neither does the glass lift door I have to climb in thru the vehicle get inside the trunk and take cover off of the emergency release and hold down lever while someone from the outside opens the door for me while im inside holding the lever down. The loss of power is the main issue here what if I was on the interstate or something and that happened.

What is wrong
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.
Risk
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.
