6 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2009

I purchased an after-market engine cold air intake for my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder. Approximately a month after I installed the intake a piece of metal from the intake broke of and got lodged in the throttle of my vehicle during a trip to los angeles, CA. The metal piece caused my car's engine to stall the die completely on the freeway within a matter of seconds. I was able to safely get my vehicle to the side of the road. I had the vehicle towed to a mechanic in barstow, CA who removed the metal debris from the throttle. The mechanic informed me the metal had broken loose from inside the intake. When I removed the intake and examined the inside I found more pieces of metal ready to break free. The metal fragments were left hanging and cleaned up after the metal was cut and the O2 sensor fitting was welded on.
