Car shuts down while driving. Hard to get back started. It runs for 30 min and when you apply gas the car shuts down. Seems like this is an issue on several year models. Try replacing fuel pump and that didn’t happen. Has a new battery and there is still and issue

On december 27, 2013, I was driving about 60 MPH. In the midst of passing a vehicle, the car stalled and would not accelerate. The vehicle had to slow down and allow me to get in front of it because by now an oncoming car was approaching. I pulled over. I talked to my trusted car repair persons and one mechanic. It was thought to be bad gas. After putting a gas treatment in the car, it ran two months just fine. Well, in the last two weeks beginning on march 8, 2014, my daughter was taking my vehicle to get an oil change to nissan in bossier, la (closest dealership to my small hometown). She drove about 13 miles and in the midst of passing a vehicle the car began to lose power again. She pushed the gas pedal but to no avail. Only this time, not only did it decelerate but it quit altogether. The car did not have enough power to clear the highway completely, it had to be pushed. The car would crank but go dead immediately. After 5 tries, it would not start. Again, I added a gas treatment and after 5 to 10 minutes, the car started. I took it to nissan to get an oil change. On the way home the check engine light came on. On tuesday, march 11, 2014, I took the car back to bossier to nissan. I got my tires rotated and the check engine light investigated. The technician told me that they did not find anything when they ran the diagnostic test. They told me everything was fine and to bring it back if the light comes on again. Well on friday, I took it back because the check engine light came back on. Nissan technicians check the car and said everything was fine. Well, on sunday, march 16, 2014, I was on my car home. When entering onto I-220, the car drove fine for a few miles then it began to lose acceleration. At this very moment my car is at the dealership. I am investigating this matter because I do not want my life or anyone else''s life altered or lost.
