Description of the problem	Starting in april 2016 we had a problem with the vehicle when my wife while driving the car suddenly lost the ability to drive, the engine had shut down entirely. At the time the vehicle had just over 100,000 miles and she was driving on a busy express way between cleveland and akron i-77. She costed into a rest area and we had to leave the car there over night until we could get it towed to the dealership. They told us it was the o2 sensor and it cost us almost 1,200 $ to repair. A few months later in june of 2016 on fathers day with our almost 2 year old daughter in the car, my family and i were driving down to virginia to spend some time with friends. We had another incident. While driving in the dc area on another busy express way i-70 in maryland our car again lost power in the engine. We couldn't drive it any where. We had it woed by aaa to frederick maryland, rented a car, and drove the 5 hours home. A few days later i drove back down to pick the car up. This time it was the mass air flow sensor. It cost us almost 500$ to have it repaired. To my understanding both sensors belong to the exhaust system of a car. On monday of this week october 30th 2017 the check engine light came on while my wife was driving to work on back roads. When we brought it to the dealer and it was diagnosed with a damaged front exhaust pipe and manifold. The price to fix it is 2,132. 74$. I felt that to have 3 major costs associated with the exhaust system in our car in a year and a half was excessive so i investigated it and discovered that the 2009 nissan altima was recalled for the exact problem we have now. For some reason our vehicle wasn't included in that recall. I have spoken with nissan and they have told me there is nothing they will do to help us out with these repairs. In all 3 situations we were driving.
