Armada 4WD 8-cyl

  • 92,345 miles
Leaving work, I tried to start my car and it tried to turn over but stopped. The dash lights went dim and the needle indicators quivered and the car quit trying to start. I cleaned the battery terminals and the car cranked continuously but wouldnt turn over. After getting it towed to a mechanic whose computer couldnt communicate with the vehicle computer, then a Toyota dealership (no Nissan dealer in my town) who had the same problem, my coworker brought me a copy of a recall by Nissan for his 2006 pathfinder for a engine control module. I had it towed for a 3rd time (total of $415) to the Nissan dealer in helena, mt 65 miles away, they diagnosed the problem as a bad E.C.M. engine control module. The service technician said "I was lucky I wasn't on the highway"!!!! now im out of $1700 for a bad ECM that I was not neglegent in breaking, on a vehicle less than 5 years old. I feel since it was a faulty part, I shouldnt have to pay for it. Now im in more debt!!!

I have problems with my car in the braking system, suspension, transmission, hydraulic steering system is pouring oil all the time, it is impossible to drive the car with the steering wheel so hard. The fuel gauge is damaged, all the time shows that have gasoline but has nothing I trust that the car will come out good but failed leaving me in the middle of a desert mechanically stuck in the middle of nowhere. I decided to leave the car and fly to my destination my question is Nissan can go get the car where the car is Nissan could provide help outside the U.S. the car damage on a mission back to the states as I could not finish the mission because Nissan is mechanical damage, I lost my job, leaving me no money to pick up the car can Nissan pick up the car? outside the U.S.

I took my 2009 Nissan Armada SE to esserman Nissan in miami Florida to the service center in reference to my fuel gauge was marking half when I just filled my tank all the way. I have taken my car numerous times and was told that there was nothing wrong with it. After several times of taking my vehicle for the same thing they finally concluded that it was on a recall list. Now its been about 4 months and im told that they still don't have the part. Now I have a brand new car that I cant tell how much gas I have in it. This million dollar company (Nissan) is quick to sell me a car but cant fix a small problem for me. Can you help!!?
