While driving on US 95 in DC, MD and NJ, when the traffic became stop and go, my SUV could not get into 1st gear to go. The engine revved, the car shook and made noises. Several times I came close to being rear-ended. This problem also occurs when starting after a red light, when accelerating on a highway (usually 3rd or 4th gear), and when turning left on a green arrow. Not only has it caused many close calls with being rear-ended, but it has also incited road rage in people who are driving behind me. Now I'm told I need a new transmission and also a new coolant system which leaks due to a fault in the system known by Nissan, and pollutes the transmission. This is a terrible safety threat and Nissan should own up to it and pay for the repairs.

Vehicle cuts off while driving and also from time to time, will hesitate or refuse to crank/start. Noticed a recall in 2010 for ECM, which is documented to have been repaired in 2014. However these exact same issues are taking place with the vehicle now in 2020, does this mean the repair was completed with yet another faulty ECM. This vehicle places my family in danger while driving.

The federal safety agency recall number: opens new window takes away from VIN lookup section> 10v‑517 recall date: october 28, 2010 manufacturer recall number: pc068 summary: the intelligent power distribution module (ipdm) assembly contains an engine control module (ECM) relay that has a diode for electrical current noise reduction. The ECM relay may allow silicon vapor to form and, over time, the silicon evaporates from the diode molding which causes silicon oxide to develop on the ECM relay contact due to arcing. Safety risk: this could cause engine stalling increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy: dealers will replace the ECM relay inside the ipdm assembly.
