Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
Engine miss and stalling due to the mass air flow sensor failure.
The vehicle will not start right away, usually it takes about 30 minutes - 1 hour to start. Vehicle will also stall/shut down intermitently. Dealer cannot determine what is causing the problem ,claims that the vehicle is normal.
This problem began with the car stalling at stop signs. The first time this occured the car stalled out and ran really rough. There was lots of white smoke coming from the exhaust. I took the car in to thomas nissan and told them what had happened. I was told that they put the car on the diagnostic machine and the problem was the spark plugs. They changed the plugs and the car didn't stall any longer but it ran sort of jerky. It progressed from there to stalling at each and every stop. It soon began to stall when ever I slowed to make a turn. We took it in to have the oil changed, changed the fuel filter, and the plugs. After this work was completed the car died in the middle of a busy street and had to be pushed out of the street. At this point we replaced the oxygen sensor and the car ran okay. We headed for home only to have the car die completely in the middle of the interstate while I was driving. When it died I was doing about 65mph. The performance deteriorated to the point that it will no longer start at all. I had the distrubitor replaced at the advice of a mechanic and this did not remedy the problem. So if anyone out there knows how to solve this riddle or have had similar problems I would love to hear how they handled the problem.
The fuel pump had to be replaced twice which caused the vehicle to stall while driving, could have resulted an accident. Dealer cannot determine the problem. Please provide further information.
While driving about 60 MPH on the highway driver is unable to remove foot from accelerator pedal because the vehicle will stall, leaving vehicle without power. Dealer and manufacturer were contacted.
3 fuel injectors failed, causing vehicle to stall when coming to a stop.
Vehicle stalls out with no warning when coming from any stop position into a turning position.
Vehicle stalls all the time under any type weather. J.p. Thibodeaus and diamond nissan were't able to detect/correct failure. Please describe details. Tt
