On 8/17/2020 at 11:30am I was driving at approximately 15 mph when everything in my car, including the engine shut down with no warning. I quickly placed the vehicle in park and after 2 attempts my car restarted with no other problems that day. On 8/18/2020 at approximately 1750hrs after exiting the expressway, again my car shut down while driving 10-15 mph, after 2 attempts my it restarted. The car currently has 46,000 miles, I am the original owner and the car is serviced as scheduled by manufacturer. I currently have an appointment on 8/28/2020 with Nissan of queen for an evaluation of this problem.
I was at a red light and the car just shut down. I had to turn the car off and restart it! this is the second time this has happened. The first time about a year ago. I thought I had done something to make it happen the first the first time. Now I know it is the car. This is serious and scarey! from reading the complaints I see this has happened to others and while they were driving!.
