Car stalls while in motion. Usually this is when I am slowing down or when I have come to a stop. It starts right up again but sometimes will stall immediately after restarting multiple times. Sometimes it will stall multiple times a day and sometimes it doesn't stall for a week or more. I took it to a mechanic and he had no idea what the problem was. My VIN number was not included in the previous recalls but it appears to be the same problem.

While driving, the car may occasionally lose power and stall out. Rate of speed doesn't seem to affect whether the car stalls.

It is unknown what is causing this, but I did see a recall online that stated the battery terminal might be the cause of the loss of electrical operation.

The fuse for the low beam 15 amp the driver side started to blow replaced one time, light would work after approx 2 days blew up again, replaced and started to burn a wire from the wires under the fuse box under the hood. I cannot pin point where the wire is burning and now the light is very dim and high beam is not working either, before only the low beam was the problem and I'm afraid it will catch fire.

Mechanic and I found a recall on my make and model car. Nissan denied the recall three times saying my model is not affected. I disagree and think my car should be investigated as it shows exact symptoms as recall. Its very possible that maybe my make and model is just starting to be affected. Vehicle engine stops running while the vehicle is in motion, causing an unsafe condition, and increasing the risk of a crash. I lose brakes and have almost been in an accident twice with my kids in the car.
I have a 2010 Nissan Sentra and the ecm has gone out due to a factory defect. There was a recall on certain 2010 Nissan Sentras, however my particular VIN# was not included and therefore Nissan will not make the repairs. Not long after I purchased the car, I started having issues with what I thought was the battery. It wouldn't start at times. I purchased a new battery, however still had the same issues. I took the car to a few mechanics and they couldn't determine what the problem was. Eventually the car just stopped. I don't remember the exact date, but it was around 12. 7. 14. Thankfully, I wasn't driving at the moment, however looking at other people's stories, theirs did. The car was towed to my local Nissan dealer and that's when I was told about the ecm. After doing my own research, I saw the recall and the people had the same exact problems I was having with my car and then their ecm died. I don't feel like I should be stuck with this car or have to pay for those repairs, however Nissan will not fix it because as mentioned, my particular VIN# was not included in the recall. That is bullcrap at it's finest.
