NHTSA Complaint #10334067 — 2005 NISSAN TITAN

1. TRUCK WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHILE RUNNING OR IN IDLE POSITION. THIS OCCURRED STARTING AROUND MARCH 1ST OF 2010 AND INCREASED IN OCCURRENCE UP UNTIL IT WAS TOWED TO NORTHERN AUTO OF BERKELEY MICHIGAN THE MORNING OF MAY 28TH. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN TO NORTHERN AUTO TWICE BETWEEN MARCH 1ST AND MAY 28TH, BUT COULD NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPLICATED BY THEIR MECHANICS. WHEN IT WAS TOWED IN THE MORNING OF MAY 28TH TO NORTHERN AUTO, THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND RECOMMENDED IT BE TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM NORTHERN AUTO OF BERKELEY MICHIGAN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP OF TROY MICHIGAN ON THE AFTERNOON OF MAY 28TH OF 2010. 2. THE STALLS WOULD HAPPEN SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BELOW 40 MPH OR IDLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ALL POWER, HENCE RENDERING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES USELESS. THIS DID NOT CAUSE ANY ACCIDENTS BUT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DO SO, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE LOSES SIGNIFICANT STOPPING AND STEERING POWER WHILE STILL MOVING. AT ONE POINT THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. 3. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP OF TROY MICHIGAN REPORTED THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY ECM RELAY ON THE INTERNAL POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM). THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED AND IS REPLACING THE ENTIRE IPDM. *TR
