| Description of the problem | Serious safety issue: at a very busy california intersection, my vehicle simply quit running, at which point i was able to re start said vehicle and "limp" it to a safe area, luckily i might add. I had vehicle towed to a service facility where the mechanic found a lose battery connection in which he thought he solved the mechanical problem. The next day traveling down hwy 50 in the sierra mountains at 65 mph the vehicle stopped running again and i was lucky enough to have an exit nearby that i safely coasted the dead vehicle into. Had vehicle towed to a different mechanic. He found a faulty ipdm ( intelligent power distribution module ). Upon his research and mine, this is an ongoing problem in which nissan is not responding to. It should be safety issue and be recalled by nissan and the repair should be performed at no charge from a nissan dealership. If you were to google : "ipdm problem nissan " you will find further data. Please review, and thanks for listening.... |
