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.

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while making a turned the vehicle stalled as the check engine warning light illuminated.

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?.
My 2000 Nissan Sentra completely stalled while driving on a surface street. First the radio cut out and the "air bag" light came on. When the car started to shake a bit, I noticed a burnt plastic smell and attempted to pull over to a side street and that's when the car lost all power--headlights, dashboard, engine, not even the hazards worked. I gently tried to accelerate forward and the car went into reverse instead, so I put the car in park and called triple a. They towed my car to my regular mechanic, who was closed at the time, and the next morning he was able to start the car right up and has not been able to locate any problem so far. This is not the first time the car has stalled. In 2007, I had the car stall on me a number of times (once on the freeway) before my mechanic replaced the mass airflow sensor. In 2009, the car started idling roughly before stalling and that problem was traced to a faulty egr control valve circuit.

Consumer believed some of the burden of cost for replacing the mass airflow sensor should be borne by Nissan. The accelerator pedal would stick. The dealer claimed to have fixed the problem but it still occurred. The consumer was also told that the mass airflow sensor was going bad and would need to be replaced. The technician informed the consumer that nothing could be done. The vehicle made a chirping sound since the vehicle was first purchased.
