Description of the problem	The car stopped running at a stop light. The failure is a known recall by nissan in model of 2005 xterra - it is the recall from 2010 for the ecm (engine control module). The problem started after a weekend on non-use when my battery was dead on monday 11-3-2014. Then after keeping the car running with the assistance of a battery box and traveling short way to work i had the battery evaluated at autozone and replaced on monday night, 11-10-2014. The car the next morning died twice after quick temp change in driveway but then ran to get wife and 5 month child to work. On way home while on feeder road on mopac south at duval died at stop light unable to restart. Called aaa and tow was in route when car restarted 20 min after failure allow wife to pull into apartment complex lot. Had car towed then researched failure with long cranking and rough idle and then towed to town north nissan on 10-12-2014 again by aaa. The care was unable to start and run properly after getting into the safety of the apartment parking lot. Town north nissan confirmed recalled part which had not been done on vehicle. Wife purchased vehicle close to 2010 recall campaign but did not receive notice. The ecm module appears to remain and issue and outstanding campaign of concern. If the vehicle was not on feeder road car could have easily been in major accident with my wife and 5 month old child. Please investigate if recall notice needs to be remailed or if the replacement ecm is prone to similar failure. In this case luckily it was the ecm that was subject to recall that was the problem.
