2005 Nissan Armada fuel system complaints

The vehicle unexpectedly shut down while I was driving on a highway at 65 MPH. The engine shutdown completely but the electrical parts were still functioning. Luckily I was driving at a time when there was no traffic so I was able to coast to the side of the road. I waited for about 5 minutes and tried to re-start the vehicle hoping that I could at least get home. After about 20 minutes and a couple of attempts, the vehicle did start but stalled and shut down again a few blocks from home while I was driving at 35mph. Again I was able to coast to the side of the road and tried to re-start it with no success. At this point I had the vehicle towed. The nissan dealership changed the ipdm and supposedly fixed the vehicle. I picked it up and after driving only 10 miles, it would not start back up. I took it back to the dealer again and they came back saying that now the catalytic converters had to be replaced and informed me that both the ipdm and catalytic converters were a common issue with the armada. Sounds to me like a recall should be in place for this. I can only thank god for helping me to stay calm when the vehicle shutdown and that neither my kids or I got into an accident on the freeway. What makes this matter worse is that there was no warning! No engine light or anything to warn you of the failure or danger!
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 nissan armada. While driving approximately 50 MPH, an unknown warning light began flashing on the dashboard and the vehicle slowly began to lose power until finally stalling. The contact was able to coast off the roadway. A tow truck was called who added more gasoline to the vehicle. The vehicle then resumed normal operation. The contact drove to a local fuel station and refueled the vehicle. The contact stated the fuel level gauge would indicate the fuel tank was one half full when it was actually empty. He was able to locate the federal safety agency recall campaign id number: 10v074000 (fuel system, other: storage: fuel gauge system) but when inquiring with the dealer, he was told his VIN was not included with the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 143,000 and the current mileage was 144,000.

The contact called the manufacturer, filed a complaint and was told someone would get back with her. The failure mileage was approximately 104,000. The current mileage was 107,073.
I own a nissan armada (2005). While driving normally in highway conditions, the vehicle has stalled out and quit running on 3 occasions. After the first incident, I had it towed to a dealership but no work was done since they could not get the vehicle to repeat the problem. About a month later the same thing happened again. The vehicle had to be towed back the dealership again. This time I was told the problem was related to the "integrated power distribution module (ipdm). After looking up this problem on the internet, I discovered that this has been a continuing problem with both older and newer armadas (as well as other nissans). I do not know if there have been crashes resulting from this problem but I do feel this is a safety issue that nissan needs to address.
I was driving to work when driving a frwy speed the truck sputtered and shut of when I was on the fast lane. I had to let the truck roll off the frwy. The gas tank indicated that I had 1/4 tank left. I added gas because the truck was trying to crank over. The truck then started up right away, I could have caused an accident if I didn't think quickly about getting off the frwy, could have been rear ended if I was inexperienced. I know fuel pump sending unit is bad in these trucks and there has to be a solution to get this problem fixed.
