Engine stop running while being driven, no service engine light on. The vehicle VIN number on the car is 3n1ab51d64lxxxxxx Nissan Sentra 2004.
Car was left at home for 4 days while on vacation. Upon return the vehicle would not turn over. It would crank, but would not start. Had vehicle towed to local shop who determined that the computer was at fault. He charged me the diagnostic fee of $90. 00, printed out a page showing that there was a service bulletin on the matter and advised me to bring the vehicle back to Nissan. Brought vehicle back and Nissan wanted me to leave it with them so they could duplicate the problem. This was unacceptable since my daughter needs the vehicle for work. This problem only happened once, but reading what others have said it appears to be an uncorrected problem. Nissan should check into this. . . By the way, it took 2 weeks to get a service appointment with Nissan.
