NHTSA Complaint #11308021 — 2005 NISSAN 350Z

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 40MPH, MY 2005 NISSAN 350Z (41XXX MILES) SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. NO POWER, BRAKES, STEERING, ANYTHING. I GLIDED TO A STOP AND PULLED OVER AS BEST AS I COULD. EVERY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON: CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE SOON, TIRE PRESSURE, ETC. I WAS ON A FLAT, BUSY CITY STREET GOING STRAIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. PRIOR TO THIS, I HAD NO INDICATION OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ETC. I CALLED AAA AND AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES, DECIDED TO SEE IF IT WOULD START SO I COULD MOVE TO A SAFER PLACE. IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I'VE SINCE BEEN ABLE TO START AND DRIVE BUT THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHE FOR ME AND THE DRIVERS AROUND ME. IT'S A VERY CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE READ IT IS ONGOING WITH NISSANS THE SAME AGE AS MINE. SOME WERE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BUT I LOOKED UP MY VIN AND IT'S NOT COVERED. TAKING IT TO A DEALER TOMORROW BUT APPRECIATE ANY HELP REPORTING AND RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. THANKS.
