| Description of the problem | I bought my 2009 nissan altima hybrid on july 30, 2009. On october 3rd, evening, it lost power while i was driving on freeway 99 california. Dash board light are on, engine has no power output. The vehicle dropped speed quickly. I pulled over to the shoulder and turn off the engine. One minute later, i turned engine on again. It backed to work. However, the same thing happened three more times again later in one week. It made me really think about the safety of driving it. On oct 7,2009, the engine completely cannot be started anymore and it was towed to dealership in the morning for a full check up and did not find anything wrong. The technician said they checked all the wires and re-wired all the connection cords. It back to work and work alright now. After about 5000 miles driving, it seems there are no same problems appeared. But lose power without any reason on freeway is too dangerous to driver and passengers, i hope the manufacturer can find the real problems and avoid it's happenings in all vehicles. |
