Description of the problem	Problem is intermittent. Car will be in motion on highway flat land/uphill/downhill any land and my car will intermittently loose power its a 2008 altima 2. 5s i will have no choice but to stop my car on the side of the highway in a deadly and heavily used canyon with not many places available to pull your car over. If there is it's very tight. When i pull over i shut it off for about a minute or two then i start it back up while in park i gently press the gas to accelerate it a little and nothing happens. The rpm stick wont move. I have been coming down an off ramp onto the freeway and i wont be able to accelerate in order gain a safe and legal speed to enter on a heavily trafficked highway with no where to pull over, almost caused a huge deadly accident because of this however the car rpm stick went up and down the car felt like it was trying to accelerate after a few "attempts" from the engine it went from me feeling the car almost forceful engine shut off with the lose of accelerating and unable to accelerate and hearing the car almost die and went from me decelerating hard at 40 mph on a slight downhill off ramp freeway at 40 mph to all of a sudden taking off as if the car was a rocket and didnt have any problems with maintaining speed. This has happened 9 times since i purchased and happens intermittently. The car will not typically have this issue if i make a short in town trip or a few errands in town no faster than 30mph speeds and no hard it fast acceleration on flat land. I lost the paperwork from the automotive shop however can easily obtain it showing that the car needs a new catalytic converter repair costing around 1300. Check engine light remains on even after being cleared will throw the same p024 error code. I just bought this car bought and am unable to safely drive it without a deadly outcome.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
