Description of the problem	I own a 2005 nissan xterra 4x4 off-road suv (vin#[xxx]), around 50,300mi. The incident occurred on nov. 5, 2010 around 11pm. My xterra started to stall on the freeway and i was able to pull over to the side of the road safely where the engine died. I tried re-starting it and the engine ran rough, so i turned it off. I tried re-starting it after 30 seconds this time the engine ran smooth, waited for a minute and then started driving back onto the freeway heading home. About a mile later the engine started to stall again and i had to pull off to the side of the road right away almost nearly hitting another vehicle because my engine had no power to speed up because it was dying. Luckily no accident, just a near miss. I was able to re-start my xterra again and was able to make it home safely. I had to tow my xterra to the nissan dealership. From their diagnosis. The dealership service rep told me that i would need to replace my ipdm. He was checking to see if this part would fall under my powertrain warranty. He called me back later and told me it would cost $550 to replace it. I asked what about my powertrain warranty, he told me he have to get back to me because the warranty specialists was sick. Just my luck. I will have to wait till monday to see if i was covered under the warranty. They didn't even offer me a loaner car over the weekend. I informed him about the recall on the ipdm nissan put out on oct. 28, 2010. The service rep said there was no recall on the ipdm. Go figure! I'm going to bring him a copy of the recall notice from your website. As of right now nothing is being done to my car. Very unsatisfied customer information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
