| Electronic Stability Control problems |
I was going on to the highway and I was trying to go fast to move in to on going traffic and my car wouldn't move faster and started making this weird sound like a chugging noise along with a scrape sound every time I put my foot on the gas.
Driving on highway, hot day temp on dash read 98 degrees. All electronics shut down, a/c shut down. Power steering shut down and was barely able to steer car to the side of the road. 3rd time this has happened and do not feel safe driving car especially now that I'm pregnant.
With the vehicle in motion and no warning lights on, all electronics shut down except for the turning indicators, along with the engine. Accelerator no longer functioned nor did the break assist. After pulling over and turning the car off, it would not start again through turning the key ignition. The car remained in that state until I shook battery cables (which were not loose and maintained full contact both before and after shaking). Afterwards, the car started as usual with no warning lights. This has happened three times now, all instances ending in the car power shutting down.
My car will randomly shut down while driving when it gets too hot. The steering locks up, all the lights come on in the car (engine light etc. ) and I can't drive. It starts working again when I turn it off and turn it back on. I already took it to the dealership but it has done it since I've taken it. It has done it while driving on both the freeway and city streets.
Pulled into parking space, speed 2-3 mph. , car went into full acceleration, hit brakes as hard as possible,car jumped 10 foot parking divider, side- swiped lamp post, hit parked car in rear wheel area tearing off rear bumper,my car lurched to left and finally decelerated. Towed to premier Nissan of stevens creek santa clara,calif. Filed claim, awaiting inspection. Case no. 22964507.
Driving as I normally do on my normal route, doing about 30 mph, and car wouldn't make the corner. Went over curb, bent the rim in two places, and of course ruined the tire. It was as if the car was intent on going right. No evidence of stability control working. Have never had an experience like that. Called aaa and they changed tire. Drove to dealer, and was given an estimate of over $500. 00 to repair damage. Estimate included rim, oem tire, plastic wheel cover ($80. 00) told it would be necessary to have a four wheel alignment. The scary thing was it felt like I had no control over the wheel. Cranked steering hard left, car just headed for the curb. Road is an uphill twisty one that is normally fun to drive, but when the drifted left, and I steered right, it didn't straighten out and went over the curb.
