"takata recall"the vehicle was working perfectly since 04/14/2016 until 08/20/2016 I drove the vehicle for 30 minutes then I park it at my place, and the next day I try to start it and was completely dead. It just had the airbag light. I replaced the battery for a new one, it started again. I went for a drive for 1 hour and when I stop at the car wash place to vacuum my car it didn't start at all, acting the same way as the day before. It was completely dead.

Left car with hazard lights on and engine off for about 10 minutes and when tried to start car again, car would not start. I had just drove the car for my morning commute of about 1 hour. This is the second time this has occurred on this vehicle's stock battery. I am suspicious that there are recalls for the same part on different vehicles, but not the one I have.
Positive battery arcing/voltage drop, causing ecm reset, vehicle fails to start, stranded by side of road. This is an existing recall and needs to be expanded to cover other months of mfg. This is a pour design that allows a loss of voltage to cause the ecm to be damaged and/or need reprogrammed.
The first incident I was reversing out of spot and the engine just shut off, I had no control of gas however lights and dashboard errors were displayed. I put car in park, turned ignition off and tried to start up car with success . So I thought maybe something strange happened and I went on with my life. Over the next few years this kept happening months even years apart at the strangest times. For example the most recent time it happened I had stopped at a stop sign and when starting to accelerate the car just shut off like it has so many times . By now I started thinking maybe this is more than a coincidence and actually saw a recall online for the same problem. Only this time the car wouldn't start back up. I had it towed to Nissan and told them my suspicions on the recall and I get a call back a few days later saying I need a new engine and they can't check the electrical recall bc they can't start the car . What do I do now!?.
