2004 nissan armada se 4wd vehicle just stalls while driving no warning light so indication something is wrong with car, stall in a very busy intersection while driving , loss of steering brakes etc. Dash lights blink and light up. Car restarts if you crank it a few times , but this has happened on several more occasions , took to a dealership and no light indicators to diagnose the problem , this is very unsafe for my family and I to be in this armada.
