Description of the problem	The first incident was a couple months ago when my car just decided to stop in traffic all the sudden. Just shut down. Then yesterday i was driving to work and a car in front of me decided to slow down. When i hit the breaks to slow down the car would not accelerate back up it decreased. I could not get it to go. I restarted the car and it turned on and went again. I looked at this website and saw all the complaints. I have had all the same issues with stalling, not starting, and no acceleration. I took it to a transmission shop and they could not detect anything wrong as no codes and of course it did not do it for them when they test drove it. I took my car to the nissan dealership showed them the print out from this site and told them i am having all those problems within the last couple months. They told me since my vin was not included in the recall they basically could not help without charging me $900 for a radiator plus the engine control module $78. I had to pay $100 just for them to look at it. They told me a whole new transmission would be $9000. This is a horrible problem this vehicle is having and is very dangerous for your car to just turn off while driving. I have a small child in the car with me. Very scary would could happen. I do not care what the mileage is on the vehicle. Nissan needs to include all xterra's no matter what the vin is for the time frame! All these complaints need action. I little to quinky dink they are all happening now! Nissan dealership told me they would recommend: ecm relay $78, radiator $740, plus some other maintenance stuff. When i went to leave after having them replace the. Ecm i had a lovely letter stating they did a complimentary appraisal of my vehicle. They did everything to confirm it is the problem, but offered no help unless i fork out the $$$$$.

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.
