My 2012 Nissan Altima 2. 5 sl cut off while I was driving yesterday. I was going about 15 mph and making a right turn when the car cut off in the middle of the turn. There were no warning lights before, during or after the incident. I was able to coast into the parking lot where I restarted the car. There was � of a tank of gas in the car and all of the battery cables were secure. I had the battery and alternator checked and both were fine. There are 76,979 miles on the car. This was the first time this has ever happened, however, after doing some research I have learned this is a common problem with this vehicle. I have loved driving this car for the past few years, but now I am afraid this will continue to happen and could cause me to lose my life in a traffic accident. Please advise me of your official recommendation as to how I should proceed.
2012 Nissan Altima would not shut off. Ignition switch was unresponsive. The fuel pump fuse had to be removed so the car would shut off. Then the negative battery cable was removed to reset. Battery cable was reconnected and fuel pump fuse reinstalled. Car would now start and shut off normally. This has only happened once but it concerns us because this car is only four months old and has less than 5,000 miles.
