Description of the problem	On 12/7/12, while waiting at a stop light, the vehicle turned off. I was able to turn the car back on but within half a mile while waiting at a stop sign, the engine turned off again. On 12/9/12 at 10:45 p. M. While driving on the highway, going 65mph, the accelerator dropped less than 40mph, rpm needle began to go from 1 to 3 rapidly and the check engine light began to flicker. I was unable to accelerate for the first 10 seconds and when i was able to accelerate, it would not go above 30mph. After half a mile, i was able to pick up speed, after a mile of "normality" the vehicle began to have the same issue. After another mile, i was able pick up speed but it felt as if there were pressure in the accelerator. I was lucky enough to make it home that night. Took my pathfinder into cerritos nissan on 12/11/12 and it turned out it was the radiator and transmission causing the issue. It was supposedly fixed within 24hrs. On 12/17/12, while driving out of my driveway, the car jerked, accelerator stalled, rpm needle would go from gear 1-2 rapidly, and check engine light flickered. It lasted for about 10 seconds... I continued to drive the vehicle and within 3 miles (once i was on the highway on a stop and go traffic) the exact same incident occur. On 12/18/12, i returned the vehicle back to nissan cerritos service dealer for another look, they are claiming everything is fine with the vehicle. I am now concerned because this is now a safety issue. I am scared to drive my vehicle, i've been lucky that i have not suffered an accident but if this issue continues, my luck could run out and i may not be so lucky next time. The life of my son and my life are at stake here. This issue should be a recall since it sounds, after much research, that this is not the first nor 100th time it has happened.

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.
