Description of the problem	About a month and a half ago, i purchased a 2011 nissan leaf from my local dealer. Everything was going great until about a month ago when i was driving on the highway around 20 mph or so when the power suddenly shut off. The entire dashboard instantly went off but the radio+touchscreen remained on. The car came to a crawl and i was able to pull over and restart without any problems. It was a little scary to say the least. I called the dealership where i bought the car from and left a voice mail for the service dept. Since it was saturday but never received a call back. I kind of shrugged it off that day thinking it might have just been a quirk so i didn't follow up with the dealer. About a week and a half ago, i was pulling into a parking lot going around 10 mph and the same thing happened. I called the dealership and took it in the next day. They've had the car for about a week and said that nissan told them to drive it and try reproducing the problem. I didn't expect them to reproduce it since it has only happened twice within weeks. As expected, they couldn't reproduce it so i was told that i would have to take the car back since they couldn't do anything about it. I am taking the leaf back tomorrow to start driving again but definitely have concerns since my wife also drives the car and who knows what she would do in a shut-off while driving situation. Luckily, the past two incidents were not in high speeds and i was able to react quickly. My worst nightmare would be if we got rear ended due to instantly losing power. I have called nissan directly to let them know about my car but no one has called me back. I assume they were already in touch with the dealer. I don't like the fact that i am being handed the car back at a potential safety risk.

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.
