I had a sudden power lose with no warning while traveling down interstate at 70mph in "fast lane". I had no power and steering the vehicle to safety was a serious challenge. We were almost hit several time as I negotiated my way to the shoulder of the Interstate. I was scary and after almost being struck by passing vehicles, my wife actually got sick to her stomach. After avoiding accident's to pull off shoulder of the road I was not able to get the vehicle started. Upon being towed home I discovered the vehicle ran out of gas, although the gas gauge was showing 1/4 of tank. I went online and found there was a recall for Nissan Armada, 2005-2009 dated 3/18/2010 for the same exact issue (see NHTSA # 10V-074). Nissan did not correct the defect and there are numerous complaints of this dangerous issue with following year models. This issue is seriously dangerous and can lead to serious injury or death and a recall should be mandatory. I called Nissan but they refused to assist with repairs or recall. I had the fuel pump sending unit replaced at my expense and request Nissan reimburse me. This is not an issue due to age or mileage. This is a DESIGN FLAW that is wide spread and Nissan has failed to accept responsibility or notify owners of potential problem. Requesting NHTSA assistance and action to prevent injury or death to other Nissan owners. I also plan to speak with an attorney regarding possibility of a class action suit.

The vehicle dynamic control (vdc; aka stability control system), ABS, brake, and 4X4 lights intermittently illuminate. At times, this is accompanied by failure of the speedometer. When illuminated, the vdc is switched off for certain, the 4X4 will not engage, and most likely the ABS will not function properly. A search online (just look for Nissan ABS/vdc lights) reveals that this is a very common problem across virtually all Nissan vehicles equipped with these systems, and that there have been multiple causes of this failure. Some solutions have ranged from recalibaration of various sensors to replacement of ABS actuation modules ($1,000+ part). Many even report the problem occuring very shortly after purchase (I.e. while driving home from the dealership with only 15 miles on the vehicle), or within the first 30,000 miles. If the afflicted systems were to fail during an emergency situation, or even simply in poor weather conditions, it could easily result in loss of vehicle control resulting in an accident. It appears to be a systemic issue with multiple vehicle components being poorly manufactured, or poorly installed (some have reported loose ground screws from the factory as a root cause, or various speed/ABS sensors installed on each wield being installed in such a way that the wires become chafed or damaged). I have been unable to find any tsb or recall data on this issue, but considering the costs for repairs that should not be needed, wide-spread frequency of this issue, and above all, the potential for serious damage or injury, there absolutely should be.
