While driving down the highway with my infant child the vehicle lost power I could not accelerate went from 75mph to a struggling 5mph. No matter how far I pressed the gas pedal there was no acceleration no revving of engine just complete nothing just pure panic. I was able to pull off to the side of the freeway in a not so safe place however I had no choice. I out hazard lights on and turned off the car. After waiting approx 5 min. I attempted to start car to no avail. The battery light as well as abs light stayed on. I again waited for another 5 -10 min and tried again nothing but same warning lights. I eventually had to wait for approx 45-_60 min when it finally started however I was only allowed to go no fastethan 5 mph. I was able to exit freeway where I parked car for several hours and walked home. Upon retrieving vehicle it still had same results. I drove home @ 5mph. I took car in for repairs and was told I needed a new battery wiring harness. I had that ordered a d repaired. Car drove home just fine however the following day the same incident occurred. Took car back in and was told I needed a new alternator which I replaced. However the following day the same thing occurred. Upon driving car back to a major dealership to notify them of the same problem, however once in their parking lot the mechanic attempted to drive car into the service bay and car wouldn't start. Immediately the mechanic said " oh you hear that clicking sound?" " That's the starter you need a new one". I once again had them service my car and put in a new starter.Yet once again the following day the same problem. In all these occurrences the car had just out of no where with no warning lost power leaving my children and I in a potentially dangerous situation multiple times. The vehicle has been parked in my garage. I can't afford replacing parts just to have the same incident. As far as dates go there were multiple dates that the vehicle stalled on me and had no acceleration.

I was driving on a large bypass 55 MPH. Suddenly, my speed and RPM's dropped even with pushing my gas pedal to the floor. I pulled over, put my car in park, and touched the gas pedal. The RPM's increased normally so I began driving again. Within a short distance it happened again. I got off the bypass and pulled into a parking lot. I turned the car off and checked my fluids. I restarted the car and pulled back out onto the road (40 MPH highway). As soon as I pulled out it did it again. I pulled onto a backroad. I noticed then that my ABS light and battery light had come on. I turned on my 4 ways since my car would not go over 10 MPH. When I turned them on I heard what sounded like an electric short and all of my lights and gauges began flickering wildly. With a very short distance I began losing power to everything until my car completely stopped. I was on the side of a dark road at 11 pm with no lights or power. When the tow truck arrived he said that sounds like the alternator. I looked up the cost of an alternator for my vehicle and found out there was a recall on my vehicle year, make and model: july 14, 2005 the federal safety agency campaign number: 05v319000 wire breaking inside alternator. This recalled described exactly what I had experienced. In the morning, I called the dealership regarding this and after a call back I was told that there was "no open recall" on my vehicle. Then I called customer affairs at nissan corporate for clarification. I was told that my car's recall was repaired at a dealership (although they had no record of which dealership did the repair) on an unknown date "between 2005 and the present" so nissan has closed this recall and is no longer responsible for the repair. I was informed that even if I took my car in and it was verified that this was the same problem, that they would not pay for it. I have a case number from my call to nissan.
