1. WAS TURNING OUT OF PARKING LOT AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN I HEARD A CLANK, THEN LOSS OF POWER. I REGAINED POWER MOMENTARILY, BUT WAS NOT SURE WHAT EXACTLY HAD HAPPENED. I THEN DROVE HOME, ABOUT 1/2 A MILE, AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP THEN ASKED ME TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO THEM, ABOUT 4-5 MILES AWAY. THE DEALERSHIP RECOGNIZED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG, BUT SOONEST AVAILABLE TIME TO LOOK AT IT WAS AFTER THE WEEKEND. I LEFT THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT THE WAY IT WAS THEN. 2. THE F…

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WHEN THE REAR-END, LOCKED UP, AND THERE WAS A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY A VIOLENT JERKING MOTION. ALL I COULD HEAR WAS METAL ON METAL GRINDING AND MY TRANSMISSION GRINDING TO A HALT. SINCE THE REAR END HAS FAILED, THE TRANSMISSION HAS A SHUDDERING TO IT BETWEEN 30-35 MPH AND THE STEERING HAS BEEN OFF IN THE TRUCK AS WELL. IT IS HARD TO MAINTAIN CONTROL SOMETIMES, AND THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE REAR-END, BUT THE SHUDDERING AND STEERING PROBLEMS ARE STILL PREVALENT, AND …

NISSAN IPDM (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE) WHICH HOUSES THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WILL INADVERTENTLY SHUT OFF POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME FROM A PARKED VEHICLE AND HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE IS NO TIMED SEQUENCE AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS, BUT WHEN IT DOES YOU LOSE POWER TO THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WILL RE-START AFTER SITTING FOR 10 MINUTES, BUT MAY CUT OUT AGAIN 15 MINUTES LATER. *TR
