My vehicle has been named in 4 recalls but my VIN number isn't included in any of them when I take it into the Nissan dealership even though every recall that has been reported is what has been either a recurring issue with my vehicle or something that has been starting to show some symptoms.

The vehicle keeps dying when I put it in drive, it automatically dyes out. I have the alertnator replace and it keeps dying out. I already spend close to $487 for the peice, getting it towed to the shop and getting it fix. The alternator still dies out.

My car doesn't have automatic door locks, for 3 times now my doors have locked while running and the doors were closed. My car locked my grandson, which is 6 years old in, and the last time was yesterday on 10/09/2019. My husband had to break the window to get in the car. This is a serious hazard. My doors aren't suppose to be locking themselves. I need answers for this situation

The car will stutter at random even if filled with a full tank. Smell of burning and check engine light comes on. Car starts to violently shake. This is horrible as I drive with my toddler. I have been now reading this is common and I'm lucky I have not had an accent by my car stalling

- Poughkeepsie, NY, USA
I was driving at about 30 mph on a city street and all the dash lights came on including the brake light, car would not accelerate and steering wheel locked like it had no power steering. Pulled over, parked, turned off car, waited a minute. Turned car back on and all dash lights were off again. Drove for a mile to see if it would happen again and it did not. What the hell, @Nissan? I had my children in the car. That's not safe for a car to just turn off like that.

August 18, 2018 bout 9:50 pm, after passing threw new albany on my way back to memphis after leaving starkville, Ms. When it felt like my Nissan Murano was losing power on highway 78 with one vehicle in left lane bout car length behind and another bout three car length behind me in the right lane. I pulled off on right side of the road bout 100 yards from exit to glenfield and oxford, Ms. The vehicle would only move about 5 or 7 miles hour allowing me to make it to glenfield/ oxford turnoff then just stopped would not move any farther. Cutting on the hazardous blinkers was draining the battery power. A lady stopped and gave me a bus off but battery died shortly after she left. Being on the other side of new albany I could only text allowing me to text my son who was on his way from starkville after he got off work at 10:30 pm. When my son arrived we charged the battery for 10 to 15 minutes giving the Murano enough power to make mile or mile and a half back to new albany where lost all power again. Walmart was close by where purchased a new battery allowing me to make 60 or less miles back to memphis. The battery and brake lights remained on I cut off all unnecessary power. Monday morning I plan to take to Nissan dealer after learning off recall for this same problem.
