Consumer Description

2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. ENGINE CUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN TRAFFIC, ONE TIME AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. VEHICLE STARTS ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT IT'S 'MOST LIKELY' IPDM FAILURE BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE AS IT DOESN'T THROW A CODE. DEALER KEPT CAR 5 DAYS AND "TRIED" TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE TO POSITIVELY DIAGNOSE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO. THE DAY AFTER PICKING IT UP FROM THE DEALER THE ENGINE QUIT AGAIN IN TRAFFIC. NOW WE ARE TOLD THAT OUR WARRANTY COMPANY WILL ONLY COVER IF THEY CAN POSITIVELY DIAGNOSE. MY TODDLER WAS IN THE CAR THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED AND OUR CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION BETWEEN 2 6-LANE ROADS. COULDN'T REMOVE THE VEHICLE FOR 30 MINUTES. JUST WAITING FOR IT TO HAPPEN WHILE MERGING ON THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. HOPEFULLY THERE ARE NO INJURIES OR FATALITIES AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE. *TR
