Engine stalls. While driving, the vehicle stalls. This continues to occur when coasting, acellerating or braking and causes danger as I was unable to safely pull over from the left and middle lane of traffic, or on the freeway. Occurs while driving straight. Research shows a faulty ECM with silicone dioxide build up on the ECM sensor contact inside the ipdm. Found : https://www.cars.com/recalls/nissan-armada-2006/ though no recall found on current search. Recal 10v517000 but can no longer find it on the federal safety agency search site.

2006 nissan armada- stalls without warning leaving vehicle stranded in traffic, dash lights flash and no vehicle codes available. Ipdm or controller replaced to fix.
Car stalls while in motion. Restarts after 4-5 cranks. This occurred about ten times before car taken to dealer. When car stalls / engine stops and the loss of steering ability and brake assist is reduced. This occurred once on the interstate in the #1 lane with no emergency lane available. Causing several near misses by other cars in trying to coast to the rightside of the road. The car restarted after several cranks and was driven to the local dealer. The ipdm was replaced under the diagnose of a intermittent open circuit inside the module. Also this issue never gave any trouble codes or even no check engine light.. This stalling would occur anytime without warning.the old part was not returned to me even though I requested it before repairs were made. The service writer apparently did not tell the mechanic. The cost to replace the module was $439.00.

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.
