general problems of the 2005 Nissan Armada

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Armada. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel would spill out from the filler neck and the fuel gauge would display readings of being half full. An authorized dealer was notified and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number 10v074000 (fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system). The vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 114,000 and the current mileage was 156,000.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Armada. The vehicle was included in the recall under NHTSA campaign id number: 10v074000 (fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system) and had repairs performed. The contact stated that the fuel gauge had not failed before the repairs were performed. After the repairs, the contact noticed the fuel gauge read empty while parked. After driving the vehicle the fuel gauge reading fluctuated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The technician stated the fuel gauge would have to be replaced. The repair would not be covered under the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,064. Updated 09/21/lj.

Check engine light remained on due to catalytic converter failure. Received warranty notice from Nissan of problem with catalytic failure, however, my mileage prevented free replacement. My state require emission testing each year, therefore, without replacement I would be unable to register my truck. My truck was purchased new and is service on a regular basis. Paid for replacement.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Armada. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact turned the key off and tried to restart the engine and the vehicle would not start. All of the electrical components continued operation. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and the dealer discovered a faulty sender unit. The dealer replaced the sender unit. After the repairs, the check engine light illuminated so the contact took the vehicle back to the dealer. The diagnostic test showed that the catalytic convert malfunctioned and would need to be replaced. The dealer replaced the catalytic convert and a month later, the catalytic converter failure recurred. The contact inquired with the manufacturer in regards to NHTSA campaign id number: 10v074000 (fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system) but was advised that his VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was investigating whether or not the vehicle should be added to the recall. The failure mileage was 96,500.

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!.

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.
