The vehicle's current problem is that the alternator is malfunctioned, and defected which causes the engine and battery to shut off and die. This already occurred more than 3 times. In addition, the oil tank pipe leaks. This is very dangerous because when the defected alternator fails, then it causes the battery and engine to shut off and die. If a person is driving a defected vehicle that has a defected and malfunctioned alternator that causes the engine to shutoff and die in the middle of a highway or street then a huge accident can occur and it will cause the driver and passengers to die or even get severely or permanently injured. This vehicle definitely has a recall, malfunctioned, and defected alternator. I bought my vehicle that is under warranty to the Nissan service dept but they never admit that it is the defected alternator problem and never fix it. They just provide and install a new battery in my vehicle. But that does not solve the problem because the battery power gets drained and it dies and shuts off the engine. This already happened to me over 3 times and Nissan's service dept never resolves this important problem. This urgent problem needs to taken cared of ASAP or else it will be dangerous for driver and passenger's life.
Problem (continuing to) fill-up with fuel when using gas pumps with vapor recovery: for the most part, the pump trigger should not be opened to maximum otherwise will trigger a shut-off; however, if a slight jerk back of the pump occurs, will trigger a stop and can no longer continue fill-up even though the tank is not even close to being topped off. Researching the web had revealed that this happens to many later-model vehicles.
