2009 and only have 15,000 miles on it.

Ran out of gas after a right hand turn? That's the only time it has happened to me.

Wow that's not good, atleast you are okay, never heard of this problem strange..

Ok let me tell u the experiences with this car. Got the car in 09.10.09 with 220 miles on it. New. had it for one month, found out the ac didnt work. So I took it to the dealer had them look at it. They said the hose Was lose so they fixed it. A month later with the same problem. No ac again so back to the dealer again. than the winter came tho so I just put it off until summer comes. couples days later I hear a weird noises coming tho my transmission. Back to the dealer again. So they replace a new transmission for me. Until now I took the car back multiple times for the ac and it still haven't been fix. They can't fine the leak. Than about a week ago with this problem. Going 55mph on the highway the car turn off. No power steering or brakes. What should i do?

bad electrical and shitty mechanics who can't identify bad electrical(s).

RunNgun · 09-27-2011, 11:01 PM

Try taking it to another dealer for repair?

ChrisSlicks · 09-27-2011, 11:01 PM

Time to open a case with Nissan Consumer Affairs.

Pray too, good luck getting any fix from the incompetent people at Nissan

Skeeterbop · 09-27-2011, 11:29 PM

if you have taken it back for the a/c, would lemon laws apply?

Jordo! · 09-28-2011, 12:02 AM

It sounds to me like the clutch on the A/C unit might be seizing when engaged, which will stop everything from turning, thus stalling the car. It would also explain why the A/C isn't working properly.

I had this happen on my last car -- I used to refer to the A/C switch as the "Kill Car Button"

until I finally got it replaced.

This should have nothing to do with the trans, mind you...

Been on the phone with Nissan consumers affairs. Hopefully they can able to do something about this situations
