| Description of the problem | 1-10-2016 between 7:00 and 7:30 i was on my way home, car in motion on a busy city street. It was dark outside and snowing, thus slick roads. Brake and battery light came on, car began to lose power. Barely moved and very quickly all electrrical components went dead. Stuck in the middle lane at an intersection, i turned on my hazards in fear of being rear ended. My hazards fairly quickly got dimmer and dimmer. Called 911 and asked to have a patrol car park behind me with lights on until my husband could get there to try to jump me. Car would not srart. Windshield wipers were on doing there own thing. Could not shut them off. Eventually they too died. Could not pull over due to heavy traffic and car moved to slow when issue began. Patrol car did come and parked behind me with lights on in order to prevent an accident. Husband came and was able to jump start vehicle. Issue also happened while leaving a parking lot, car in motion. Husband jump started car. Also happened while taking child to school, put car in neutral and accelerated and car then got power back while in motion on city street. Nissan tech said nissan considers this an inconvenience. I was scared ob being killed. Also, my passenger air bag indicator light is on stating it is off. Has been on since issue began. Taking to shop to be repaired today, believe the issue is the alternator but not 100% sure. Will keep all receipts and other records obtained. |
