I have '01 Nissan Sentra. Over the years I kept having my car auto shut off while driving. My recent incident occurs on 2/17/22 while driving on a freeway at 70mph that left me stranded. I had it towed to the nearest auto mechanics. While the engines shuts down, the service engine soon light came on followed by the battery icon and oil lamp icon. In the past I had most if not all my catalytic converters and O2 sensors replaced but the problem persisted. Some mechanics stated it was electrical but offered no solution. I did had an oil changed and battery tested a week earlier but no issue was found. My most recent mechanic checked it out and told me it's not the battery nor the alternator, they're both still good. I had to leave my car over the weekends for a full diagnostic.

Car constantly shuts off while driving, steering and brakes lock up as well. It does this idling at lights and while driving making turns. Very dangerous! I have replaced several sensors (at my expense) to try to keep the car going, but I'm terrified to drive it as I fear it will stall again in traffic and potentially kill me and my family. Checked my VIN against the many recalls that would cause these problems and states that none of these recalls apply to this car! Nissan used to be a good company, now it's just a lemon factory! not to mention their dealership service is absolutely useless! I don't see how such dangerous and potentially deadly issues do not have recalls on them!!!.

Intermittent problems car stalling while driving, car rough idle, car not starting, car spurting while driving, car not going into overdrive car has been towed twice, been to two dealers, and 1 mechanic that told me that it is in the computer system and that the dealer needs to fix the problem. From my research, diagnostic codes are either not being reported by a bad sensor or the ecm is not storing the diagnostic codes.
Nissan Sentra 2001 had a recall to remove the foam covering the ecm. I had this done June 2004. . The problem with the foam was as it cured , if there was a crack on the surface lining, corrosion of the resistor could cause the ecm to malfunction. Well I had the foam removed but I feel the corrosion was probably already occurring so in 6 months the ecm went bad. Nissan refused to pay to replace the ecm.
