My 2008 Pathfinder suddenly started having intermittent split second losses of power while driving. The dashboard lit up, the speakers made static, and the engine lost power, but the power then resumed without intervention after 1 second. Very unnerving of course, especially when one is on the highway.
I have taken my car to three mechanics without resolution. None of these fixes have helped: new battery, cleaning of the battery terminals, replacement of the battery terminals, cleaning of ground connection on engine. Note the alternator was replaced just a few months ago. Now several weeks have passed, the issue has escalated to the power turning off and not turning on again by itself, and not resolved.
