Model Year	2008
File date	25/03/15
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Was driving xterra 4x4 on the street when all of a sudden the vehicle shut itself off. Was able to luckily turn the vehicle back on but when we arrived home the vehicle would no longer start. Had it towed to nissan who discovered the car has a defective ecm unit. This could have been very very dangerous and i believe many other nissan xterra/frontiers/pathfinders have been affected as evident by searching google regarding this issue. Nissan would not repair the vehicle free of charge and wanted 1400 dollars to replace ecm. This day and age an ecm should last much much longer and should not shut down the vehicle nor, impair its ability to drive.
