Description of the problem	Auto failed to start or if started failed to run with computer coordinated power production. Engine misfiring and powerless and immobile. Check engine light on. Garage said there have been several of these failures on nissan autos and expect a recall to replace defective part failing with increasing regularity. Ipdm failure diagnostic is complete engine power failure and stop after extremely rough idling, even when accelerator engaged. The problem is without warning, instant and erratic onset with no preventative maintenance protocol. This is a part failure which will strand the driver wherever it happens until the part (ipdm) is replaced , after which the various computers on the car will perform as normal and auto functions normally. This part should be improved, recalled and reinstalled with defect free replacement to avoid further damage and stranding of other nissan drivers. Nissan has not recalled the part as yet but the repair cost me $910 for diagnoses and replace the defective and failed ipdm on the 2006 nissan pathfinder and perhaps other nissan vehicles. The records of nissan should show the spike in orders for this part as other vehicles fail to function due to failure of the ipdm. A recall should be initiated to repair this defective essential and expensive part which cannot be maintained -just replaced when it fails. *kb
