While driving for 20 minutes and I'd say 25 miles per hour, my truck just stalls the electrical system working, but no engine power! The truck just stop running. In my attempt to restart the engine the starter will turn but no start. I am now stranded in traffic and if it was not for good samaritans who help me push the truck to the curb. This happened twice in the last couple of days. I've replaced my battery and it died for second time! Thankfully I was on the city street both times. Both times I waited awhile tried to start up with no success, but it started only afterwards getting a jump start!? The battery is brand new and the hope of finding the answer is websites at lease in the hopes of some answer and directions. Eve since replaced the battery I'

This seems to be an issue for a lot of people so I'm officially reporting. I've owned this car for 16 years. In that time, I've repeatedly had issues with the braking system at different times starting in 2006, but definitely in 2009. I've brought it up with dealers in both saco, me & wake forest, nc. Each time they cannot find a problem. Finally after the last time the dealer said there was a bulletin about the computer needing an update. Which cost multiple hundreds to install. This install definitely decreased the incidents of multiple brake failings while driving, but didn't completely fix the problem. I'm just now learning that it's a faulty delta stroke sensor in the brake booster and is a known problem to nissan for the titan and armada models. I never got the postcard about the class action lawsuit, but it wouldn't have helped since they never identified the issue or maybe even hid it from me during my visits. Because of this I'm out of the window for the lawsuit and am still having problems. My '04 still only has 78,000 miles and multiple other people are having this same issue. Nissan just had to pay 25 million to a family that was hit by one of these affected vehicles, but still will not claim there is an issue with the delta sensor and brake booster. Please make them fix this issue to save lives and pay for something they know has been an issue for a very long time. The booster can be reset and the problem goes away, but to do this you have to stop the car with the brakes fluttering and not responding. Then you shut off the car for 10 seconds and restart the car. This usually fixes the issue, but it can return at any time. Usually when you've already been driving for awhile. Started back in 2006, but got worse in 2009. Computer fix lessened issue, but still occurs at random times.

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., I have owned this truck since 2005, why was I not notified by nissan of this recall, and what can I do to correct this dangerous situation?

My husband could have been killed. We had no knowledge of any recalls. Two days ago my husband was getting in the truck and all of a sudden smoke started coming from the dash board and a fire was starting. He immediately ran in the truck stop store and was able to get a fire extinguisher. Another customer unhooked the battery as my husband distinguished the fire. The truck will not start and when trying to test it out by re-attaching the battery the smoke began again. We are now without a vehicle and had to get the truck towed home.
