| Description of the problem | I purchased my nissan november of 2011. On january 7th 2012 as i was driving going down hill on hwy 70 in blue springs going on a on ramp which is down hill going approxamately 45-50 mph and my engine out of no where just shut off while i was driving. I had my wife and three kids in the car with me and this is a serious safety issue. I am in the marine corps stationed in arizona and i had to go back to my duty station there. This occurance has happened many more times with my wife, on one incident almost caused a serious accident (which could of killed someone) and my wife and children where she was driving in the middle lane and randomly the engine cutoff on her on highway 70 going about 70mph and it wasnt even on a hill it was on flat pavement by the grace of god she made it over to the side of the hwy and once stopped she couldnt restart for about 10 minutes i asked her if she was out of fuel she said no it had about half a tank. My wife is terrified to drive this car terrified and she has to drive it to take my son to school and i am not even able to be there to help address the situation. This is a serious issue and i am contacting nissan corporate and addressing it. I am extremely worried for my families safety and im making payments on a vehicle that seems to be a death trap. Anything you can do to help me and my family would be greatly appreciated. |
