NHTSA Complaint #11130727 — 2016 NISSAN ROGUE

WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE IN MY CAR INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE CAR LOSES POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND BREAKS. BECAUSE THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURS, I CANNOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY TO RESTART IT. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR LONGER DISTANCES, ALTHOUGH NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONER OR HEAT SEEM TO MAKE THE ISSUE WORSE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASH ONCE PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. THE BATTERY IS STILL ON, SO THE RADIO IS STILL OPERATIONAL, AS ARE ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS. I OFTEN DON'T KNOW THAT THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF UNTIL I TRY TO ACCELERATE OR BREAK AND AM UNABLE TO DO SO. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A 5 POINT INSPECTION AND TO HAVE THEM DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I WAS TURNED AWAY AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE.
