While driving on the interstate, the car slows down and will not accelerate. If I press the gas to get out of the way of on coming traffic the car skips and does not go over 40 mph. I try to get to the far lane in hope's of not being hit. I turn the car off and try to start it again and the engine light comes on, try again to start it and it slowly moves until it gains speed and I keep my hazards on, engine light goes off and it has been doing this periodically ever since.

Released the car to us on monday afternoon after one last test drive and code check. We were not really happy about the results of them finding nothing wrong with the vehicle as this is a situation with the vehicle just shutting down in traffic could be unsafe to say the least. The only question we were asked after the weekend was if the battery had ever died. Seeing as we have only owned the vehicle a few months and there is only 2800 miles on the car. It was in possession of nissan and their dealership network longer than we had it and it may of had a battery problem at that time..

My car died while rolling through an intersection, on a major highway in san angelo texas on december 12th, as I was about to make a left turn. The power down started with the xm stereo, then lights, then the engine died. Steering did not lock up because I was able to steer to the side of the intersection and turn the steering wheel. I turned on hazard lights and attempted to try to start the car. The car and the dash did not act like they would when the car had a dead battery. Lights would not come on when I...

pressed the start button. My door locks would not work, windows would not work, sun roof would not work. After several attempts and about five minutes wait time, the car started. The first mechanic looked the car over and could not find anything wrong. He checked my key battery, also. All connections were good, battery was good under the hood and in the key fob. He sent me to the nissan dealership in san angelo, texas for a more detailed inspection. The mechanic at the dealership found no faulty connections, battery, alternator, etc. They gave me no answers as to why this happened.
