"takata recall", car has days where it won't start due to problems with the ECM module. I bought the car like that and when it happened I thought it was the battery and we switched out the battery, however a month later it did the same thing. I noticed that there is a recall on the battery terminal that may effect the ECM on some modern vehicles, however when I took it to nissan they said based on my VIN number my vehicle isn't affected. My car is doing exactly what the recall states, so I believe that my VIN number needs to be included in the recall list.

Takata recall I was driving my car and came to a stop sign and the whole car shut off, while I was in drive. My battery was corroded and so we thought that was the issue and changed the battery and the problem worsended up until yesterday while I was riding to work, I arrived at a stop light and before the light even turned red the whole car shut off and locked up. The battery is new, oil had been changed hat same day as the air filter and the mass airflow sensor were changed. The mass airflow sensor was changed because that's what I was told was why my engine light was on. The very day the same issues occurred and the whole car stopped and did not start again. Prior to this, my car sat for a few days, like any car does on the weekend and I needed a jump the following sunday night and after changing the battery, the problems worsened and as I was driving, if I turned slightly or made a left or right turn, my skip control would come on and stay on and I drive routinely so I knew it was a new problem. When I put the car into park, the slip control would come on or in reverse, the slip control would come on or the whole car would shut off in that gear.

My son was driving my car nissan sentra 2011 on 405 freeway in the carpool lane at about 65mph. The engine cut off. He told me that he tried to get over while the car was still coasting but the vehicle completely stopped in one of the lanes. He put on the emergency flashers and called home. He told us that the car had cut off and wouldn't start back up. He said that other cars were just flying by at fast speed. We told him and his friends to stay in the car where we felt it to be safer at the time. Then he said I am about to get hit. For minutes we did not know what was going on. The driver that hit the rear of the car let my son and 2 other people get in his car and he drove them off of the freeway. My son called the highway patrol and explained the situation. He was told that the chp would take care of it. When my husband and I arrived at the location where my son,his friends and the driver of the car that hit him were waiting, we notice a police car. The policeman said he just saw them there and came over. When chp finally came over to where we were waiting, the chp officers explained to us that the vehicle was hit a second time and that two people were carried in an ambulance to the hospital. The vehicle was put on a tow truck and brought over to where we were all waiting. The rear of the car was totally smashed. There was no longer a back seat or trunk. When my son saw the car he was glad that they had gotten out of the car because one of his friends would have gotten smashed up if they had stayed in the car. By the way, the car was not out of gas because I filled the tank up with gas myself the previous day.
