“At approximately 45-50 the car began to shudder on a state highway and stalled making it impossible to steer with normal effort . It would not start and was towed. Of note this is my 2nd Armada my 2004 had the same problem. I can't imagine Nissan does not know and has done nothing to fix it. Any thoughts ?”

The vehicle was not drivable. …”
