I was driving on the highway and suddenly lost engine power and car shut off and would not restart immediately. After waiting approximately 5 minutes the car restarted. There were a total of three different incidents ( so far) of this happening to my car. I had it checked by a mechanic and nothing could be found to be wrong ( no codes came up). I did some research and discovered that Nissan had recalled vehicles for the same issue ( cam shaft and crank sensors overheating) . I called Nissan and was told that even though my vehicle appears to have the same issue it is not part of the recall. However, it is part of the massive airbag recall which makes this even more of a deadly concern. . Nissan needs to recall all VIN numbers that are having this shut off issue. When I called they were very standoffish and unhelpful. I am not in a position to pay for costly repairs especially when it is an issue that needs to be addressed and recalled by Nissan. . . .
