May 1st, 2019 I was driving the vehicle at a rate of 70 miles per hour on interstate 25 in denver, Colorado and the car completely stalled out. The computer screen instructed me to shift the car into park. It took me approximately 3 minutes to get the car to start again via the push to start button. This was occurring in the middle of the interstate during heavy volume of traffic. Dealership claims it was not normal but could not tell me why. June 26th, 2019 the vehicle again stalled out without warning while I was traveling approximately 45 mph on Colorado blvd. In denver, co. The vehicle again prompted me via the computer to shift the car into park. I then shifted and pushed the push to start button and it did restart. Both instances the car was in motion at high speeds, once was highway the other a busy street. I was going straight both times. I was breaking slightly both times. Completely unsafe vehicle.

Car engine running parked in driveway. I was in the house. Son was on porch. Yelled that car was moving. When it saw that it was backing up I ran to try to stop it. The car backed down my driveway, which was flat with no incline, to the street, across the street and into the neighbor's house. The street is quiet a bit higher than driveway but it seemed to pick up speed when it went over it. I reached it right as it hit the neighbors house. I called police dept. Vehicle was in park the entire time. I took it to Nissan dealership but they could not find anything that would have caused it to do that. If my handicap son had been getting in vehicle when this occurred it would have caused him serious injury and could have caused anyone that would have been passing on the street or in the neighbors yard to be injured. Neighbor is an older man and he was quite shaken up. The impact shook his house quite a bit. I have been afraid to drive it. Will supply police report when it is available from the police dept.

The head rests in this car push my head forward and I can't sit in the car with my back against the seat. Very hard on my back. I have adjusted the head rest to all positions with no luck. The only thing that works is removing it and putting it in backwards. There should be some way to adjust this! no way to make a long drive with this head rest.
