Consumer Description

DRIVING AT 75 MPH, CAR VERY SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 45 MPH. SUBSEQUENT TO THIS, CAR OPERATED SPORADICALLY UNTIL GOING PAST 15 MPH WAS IMPOSSIBLE. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE IT HAS REMAINED FOR A MONTH AWAITING A DEFECTIVE ECU REPLACEMENT. THE SERVICE MANAGER LATER INFORMED THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD OCCURRENCE, AND THAT NISSAN CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND OF THIS PARTICULAR PART(THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT COMPUTER). AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT, I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PULLED TO THE SHOULDER FROM THE FAST LANE. MY VEHICLE HAS 20,000 MILES. *LA
