Nissan armada air filter housing recall... Over the pass couple of years, I've notice that our truck would shut off while driving. We'd start it back up, and continue driving and it would shut off again. After checking the air filter under the hood, I discovered that it was dirty. So, I replaced the filter and it would be good. However, after several weeks of driving it will repeat the same thing of just shutting off while driving. Recently, it has been shutting down more often. So, after some looking underneath the hood, I went back to the air filter housing box and discovered that the air filter housing box does not seal properly. As a result of the air filter housing not sealing properly, air seeps in throwing off the air to gas ratio mixture and it shuts down the engine, turning off the car in the midst of driving. I reported this too a nissan dealership and they supposedly cleaned the air filter box and said that should fix it. However, after leaving the dealership, my truck literally shut off on me while driving five (5) times. I then went back under the hood of the truck, readjusted the air filter housing in an attempt to seal it to the best of my ability and my truck did not shut down at all. This is definitely an issue that I believe needs to be looked at. I've talked to other nissan owners they have reported the same thing. I sincerely hope that something can be done about this real soon in the picture that I have attached to this file, you can see the orange piece from the filter that is sticking out from the housing. Again, through driving and hitting bumps in the road, the housing separates and allow more air to seep into housing and the truck shuts off. Again, once the housing is fixed in place again, the truck is drivable until the housing separates again.

My fuel gauge showed 1/4 tank of gas and I ran out of fuel on a major highway and stalled out. I was in fear for my families life and had my wife steer the car while I pushed it over to the shoulder. A passer bye in a pick up had a can of gas and it was enough to get me to a gas station. There is a recall on the 2005 armada for the fuel sending sensor but not on the 2004. This is apparently a lot of 2004 armadas that have this safety malfunction.
Fuel gauge stops at 1/4. Vehicle ran out of gas on freeway and engine stalled.
My armada shuts off while driving down the road. When it does the steering goes and the brakes won't work. I bought got rear ended trying to get off the road when it happened the first time. This is a very dangerous problem. I just got this about 6 months ago. I looked up and seen recalls on this problem but I put my VIN number in and it says there is none for my car. If it has been fixed prior to my ownership then its went out again. And again thats not good. This could get someone killed! Esp if I was driving on interstate. I couldn't get out of way of traffic.

Engine and engine cooling
- 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.
