| Description of the problem | After getting gas i started my 2005 nissan frontier and as i entered back on the highway the engine immediately stalled. The "service engine" light and the 4wd warning light came on. After rolling about 50 ft it started running normally again. I visited my nissan dealer on 9/10/09 and they could not find anything wrong. That afternoon after getting gas it stalled after starting it again with the same warning lights on. I could not restart it. This time it had to be towed to the dealer. They found that an engine electronic module had failed but was on nationwide back-order and did not know when it would be replaced. I was told it was a large problem in 2006, 2007 and some in 2008 nissan frontier and titan trucks. If this item is in nationwide back-order it must be a major problem and a dangerous one if a vehicle's engine stalls while in operation on roads and highways. |
