| Description of the problem | On march 18, 2016, my husband was driving our 2005 nissan armada at approx 60mph on the highway. All of a sudden without warning vehicle lost power, luckily my husband was able to steer and coast vehicle to the side. This could have been tragedy. Gas tank needle indicated that vehicle had a quarter tank of gas in it. No low gas light indicator was on or ever came on!! Our teenage son had been driving it for over a week. What if he was driving this when this occurred, he could have been killed or killed someone else!!!! Vehicle was at 87,632 miles when this occurred. I came to this website and observed where other drivers had the same incident happen. Also observed where nissan is aware of this flaw in the armada. I advised my husband about this after he had already called a tow truck. Once he put gas in it, it started right back up. This could have been really bad, but it was only the grace of god that saved my husband surely not nissan!! Usually keep a 1/2 of tank of gas or more, but teenage son had been driving it for the last week. What if my teenager was driving it when it shut down on the highway?? This probably would not have been the same outcome. No low gas light indicator came on to warn my husband that gas was low. My husband, son or someone else could have been killed!! At the time of incident mileage was at 87,632 |
