Takata recall I was driving my car and came to a stop sign and the whole car shut off, while I was in drive. My battery was corroded and so we thought that was the issue and changed the battery and the problem worsended up until yesterday while I was riding to work, I arrived at a stop light and before the light even turned red the whole car shut off and locked up. The battery is new, oil had been changed hat same day as the air filter and the mass airflow sensor were changed. The mass airflow sensor was changed because that's what I was told was why my engine light was on. The very day the same issues occurred and the whole car stopped and did not start again. Prior to this, my car sat for a few days, like any car does on the weekend and I needed a jump the following Sunday night and after changing the battery, the problems worsened and as I was driving, if I turned slightly or made a left or right turn, my skip control would come on and stay on and I drive routinely so I knew it was a new problem. When I put the car into park, the slip control would come on or in reverse, the slip control would come on or the whole car would shut off in that gear.

While driving to work headed towards the altamont pass on highway 580 west. Just past grant line rd at 6:15 a. M. On 03/17/2015, my car started to hesitate, then immediately lost all power with no prior warning to be able to pull over. I was stranded in the second lane over from the fast lane. The vehicle behind me came so close to hitting me. I could have been seriously injured in an automobile crash driving this speed during heavy commute conditions. I had no prior warning, such as a check engine light prior to this. Highway patrol and the tow service received notification from aaa and towed my car to a safe location until aaa arrived . My vehicle was towed to the Nissan dealer. I regularly take my vehicle fto the Nissan dealer for service. I am afraid to drive my car to work any longer being I commute 54 miles to and from work on a daily basis. The Nissan dealer did not perform all of the necessary steps for code p0101 which is the mass air flow sensor they simply reset the code. The mileage remained the same so how did they test drive it?.
