My complaint is that my vehicle is turning off with a brand newly installed battery and my Nissan dealership cannot read my car to understand why this is happening. They kept my vehicle for close to a month and still did not fix the problem. The vehicle never fails to turn over, but it just loses power and turns off like someone snatched out the battery. Sometimes it fails to turn over, right away, but then it turns over and I can drive it a few miles before it stalls on me again, even while driving. I have 64,500 miles on this vehicle and I have babied it since I purchased it brand new in 12/2009. The slip light comes on and the o/d light flashes and then the vehicle gets confused and shuts off. It is annoying. It feels like a battery issue and my Nissan dealership changed what they called a faulty positive terminal hook-up but I still have this issue where my vehicle will not stay powered. I have to repeatedly start the vehicle back up and barely make it home. I was never in a crash, but I did hit the bottom of my vehicle on an abutment that was in a automotive parking lot while I was driving at 3mph. But this happened in 2014 December and I had the vehicle looked at and drove it for almost two years without any problems.
Engine idles too low: engine idles at approximately 600 rpms, when ac kicks in idle drops to 500 rpms or less causing vehicle to shutter and shake as if it is going to stall. Have taken vehicle back to dealer for reset, but vehicle still idles at around 600 rpm. Vehicle specs state vehicle should idle at 650 rpm +or- 50 rpms for v6 engine. This is too low when ac is turned on.
