My truck air condition stopped working. I took it to nissan and they informed me that the wire harness had gone bad. They also informed me that this could cause the car to catch fire while driving, stall and possibly the head lights dim while driving. I have experienced thr dim lights and stalling. I feel these are safety issues. It has not been inspected by the manufacter, police or insurance. I currently have no check engin lights on so there was no warning.

This has happen numerous times, the transmission a CVT has big problems that has caused my wife and I great concern. When we go to take off and really have to step down on the peddle because of traffic flow. We have semi's traveling on our road and other roads, when this occurred the first time after purchasing the car we thought it was bad gas, but since then we have been in critical situations because the transmission is not working. The transmission in question is very unsafe in this vehicle it almost stops for a few seconds. We have seconds away from 18 wheelers crashing into us, or cars where you have to pull out in traffic. What bothers me is my wife drives this vehicle at least once a day. Sometimes with my daughter, and grandson. Where we live big trucks hauling wood to the paper mill have almost crashed into us on numerous occasions, same with cars.some even showing road rage when my wife is minding her own business, and same with me. This problem has caused us to know that the transmission is doing this on a regular basis. When the car is in motion, we have even been put in the medium because of this CVT problem, and we believe by looking on the web now, and asking the mechanic we always use has said the same. We have had this car since july 2018. We know now it isn't bad gas, or the injectors needing clean, or the transmission oil needing change. We however know that with this safety problem it will be just a matter of time if not us but someone driving this type of vehicle will either get hurt, or may start causing people to die. We live right off of a two lane road, sometimes it is when we are pulling out, sometimes when we are going on the expressway way, sometimes when passing slower traffic, or on a city intersection. It acts at first like the engine is going to stall, seconds count in driving, we don't feel safe in this car anymore.

The car was in motion and all of the sudden shut off while driving and lost ability to stop, steer, and restart. When car came to a stop I tried to start the car and it stall. Car was full of gas and all fluid levels are fine. The car has 20k miles so no mechanical problems exist. This happened in las vegas while the outside temperature was 108. I saw the same issue with other nissan cars in las vegas per youtube videos. Please help! I am afraid it may do so again and cause an accident. This happened today and after leaving the car parked for 2 hours started working fine.
