Consumer Description
VEHICLE JUST LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. NO POWER AT ALL, ALMOST TAIL ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT SWIRLED INTO EMERGENCY LANE TO AVOID HITTING ME. UNABLE TO USE HAZARD LIGHTS, AS THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE CAR. LUCKILY I HAD A PORTABLE JUMPER AND HAD TO EXIT MY CAR AND STAND IN FRONT OF VEHICLE WITH HOOD UP, UNABLE TO SEE TRAFFIC COMING AND VERY SCARED OF GETTING HIT BECAUSE I HAD NO HAZARD LIGHTS. VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED AND WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK. I LIVE OVER AN HOUR FROM WORK AND NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE HOME ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS POSTS ABOUT THIS, I FOUND WHILE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED, SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE BEEN IN NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE EXACT SAME REASON AND HAVE REPORTED THIS BUT NISSAN IS MAKING NO EFFORT TO FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT BADLY HAVING THIS HAPPEN WHERE IT DID AND I AM NOTIFYING WHOEVER IS NECESSARY ABOUT THIS SITUATION, BECAUSE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AND IT'S RELATED TO THIS ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF, MY FAMILY WILL BE SUING ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS I'M SURE. I HAD NO POWER, NO STEERING, NO CONTROL AT ALL
