Description of the problem	I purchased a 2013 nissan altima in july 2014 with 36,000 miles. About 3 weeks after purchasing this vehicle, the check engine light came on. I took it into the local nissan dealer to determine the cause. I was told that they couldn't find the source and it would require further diagnostic testing for $80. I disagreed and left. Two days later, my daughter and i were traveling along interstate 10 when suddenly the car wouldn't accelerate. As i merged over to the left lane, every light on the dash came on and the engine went dead just as i made it to the shoulder. I put the car in park and waited 10 minutes before i attempted to start it up again. The following day, i took the car back to my local nissan dealer. At that point, they told me there was an electrical malfunction that was covered under warranty but they would need to order a replacement part. I was without a vehicle for 3 days when i received a call that the car was ready. I sent my mother to pick up the car because i was at work. They didn't provide any repair summary to show what repairs were made. Fast forward three weeks... My family was traveling to mobile, alabama to depart for our annual walt disney world trip, when you guessed it... The car wouldn't accelerate although my foot was literally on the ground. I pulled over once again and didn't try to start the engine again for about 20 minutes. The service engine light has been on every since. I have constantly fought with the seller (bob tyler toyota) about returning this vehicle. I sold a 2006 honda accord ex-l with 176,000 miles to purchase this lemon. It is an absolute clunker. Will someone please suggest other options for me???

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.
