Description of the problem	My truck has had what feels to me like a rough idle for about as long as i've had it. It was fine for several years but a couple of months ago the truck died at a stop light. It started right back up and i didn't think i'd be able to replicate this for a mechanic so i just kept driving it. It also died once on my wife but she didn't tell me about it at the time. A couple of weeks ago i was driving on the highway at lower speeds due to traffic. It died on me again and this time it wouldn't start. I had to have it towed to a nissan dealer. They repaired a part in the transmission and gave it back to me. It seemed ok but after about ten miles it died again. I brought it back and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They cleaned the throttle body and gave it back to me. It is still idling rough. It hasn't died again yet but i'm afraid of what might happen if it does. I've looked online and this is a common problem with these trucks. I think it has some defect that needs to be addressed through a recall for the safety of drivers on the road.
