DT: THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING AT 65 MPH. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE WAS IN LOS ANGELES, AND ONCE IN LAS VEGAS. THE ENGINE RESTARTED AFTER THE INCIDENT ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO 1 HOUR LATER. AFTER IT RESTARTD IT WILL DRIVE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND SHUT DOWN AGAIN. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP ,THEY REPAIRED IT TWICE. ALREADY THE FIRST TIME THEY REPAIRED VEHICLE IT WAS A KEY PROBLEM, BUT HE KNEW THAT IT WAS NOT. THE SECOND TIME CHANGED THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE ( ECM). THE VEHICLE IS NOW READY TO BE TAKING BACK TO THE DEALER THE THIRD TIME. THE MANUFACTURER SAID THAT HE COULD NOT TURN IN THE CAR, AND THEY DID NOT CARE. *AK
