I went to the grocery store. Upon returning to my vehicle the car would not start. The car cycles to the "acc" and "on" position but does not start. The dash lights up, the blinkers work, the brake lights work, and all other noticeable electrical components work. The car just does not start. I had the car towed to an independent repair shop. After 2 days of diagnosing, the shop owner called and stated that he did not know what was wrong with the vehicle and that I need to come to pick up the vehicle. He stated he explored everything and parts wise the car was fine. He said that I needed to have Nissan test the car on the com iii. I then towed the vehicle to the local Nissan dealer and they could not figure out the issue with the vehicle. They called me to charge me for 3 hours of labor to look further into the issue. I agreed and within an hour of paying for the additional labor they called me with a general solution. I need to change the ecm (computer), egi (engine wiring harness) and I needed a new battery. Grand total $3100. I have never had any issues with the vehicle. Prior to the car breaking, the car drove like a champ then all of a sudden it dies. Something is fishy in the air Nissan and this will be the last Nissan I'll own. After this incident I found out these cars are riddled with electrical issues. If only fore-sight was better than hind sight.
