The ABS light comes on while driving and car stalls or immediately shuts down. I took the vehicle to nissan and a diagnostic test was done. They said I needed to have my crank shaft positioning sensor changed; I paid and had it replaced and still I am experiencing the same problem. I took the vehicle back to kings nissan at coney island brooklyn 2 weeks ago and it's still there and they can't figure out what's going on. Now I am being told they'll have to take the car apart to figure what's the problem and that'll cost me about a thousand dollars for labor, not inclusive of any parts that may need to be replaced. My problem here is that nissan cannot determine the issue and is having me pay for parts while they change parts by assuming what they issue might be, since they are unable to determine the real issue. My biggest regret is purchasing a nissan vehicle. The vehicle is barely 30,000 miles and it's costing me time and money.

Two times in the past month I have experienced the same problem while driving on interstate roads. My gas gauge and trip monitor indicated I had about 60 miles until empty then after driving a few miles it said about 30 miles to empty and shortly after that car started sputtering and losing power and I had to make emergency moves to keep from getting hit. Both times I was able to pull unto the shoulder and drive a short distance to a gas station to fill the tank which took only slightly over 15 gallons and the tank holds 19 gallons. I have found the identical complaint on several web sites and there does not seem to be any help from nissan or even an admittance that the problem exits. I just returned from my dealer in naples, fl. And all they could tell me was that no error codes were showing and I could not expect the gauge to be accurate at all times since it is constantly recalculating and changing distance to empty. That really has nothing to do with the problem since the car was apparently not out of gas and in the past I have put over 18 gallons in the tank so I am certain it was not out of gas. I believe there must be a problem with the pickup tube, sensors or a combination of both. Having your vehicle suddenly stall in front of a semi truck is no laughing matter and we were lucky to have escaped without a major accident. On one of the forums the owner was told by the dealer that it was not a problem if they would not let their tank get below 1/4 full. Not much help!

The car is intermittently stalling when I get to about 1/4 tank of gas. Sometimes it does not change gears, other times it stalls out and turns off completely. This is very dangerous as it has done so when I pulled out in traffic and three times on the highway. Twice the car was going approximately 55 miles per hour and when I tried to speed up the vehicle stalled out and would not go over this speed. I had to pull off of the interstate. Again, it happened going about 5mph while attempting to turn into traffic, the vehicle then turned off.
