2004 Nissan Quest van - I was traveling 55 mph and all of a sudden the van had no power it just slowed down, the steering froze and it stalled in mid-traffic. I didn't even have enough notice to pull off the side of the road. Worse of all, the brakes didn't work I slammed on the emergency brake and looked for a curb to coast into and stop. I took the van in to the dealer. They looked at it and told me they needed to replace the throttle body. After replacing the throttle body with a new one it took them over 6 hours - the mechanic returned and said the new throttle body would not communicate with the computerized system, so he took out the new throttle body and put my old one back in. Now I'm being told it is possibly the ECM not sending power to the fuel injector. As I checked on the internet, this is caused by the computer getting corroded from the location due to a poor seal leading it to give out anytime. It costs around $1200. The ECM is part of the emissions systems and as such should be covered for 8yrs/130,000km. My vehicle has 93,000 miles. A number of folks have complained to Nissan as this is a serious safety hazard and imany of us Transport small children (in my case, my grandchildren). If I lose power on the highway I have no way to steer or brake. What can we do" these vans were purchased to cart large numbers of passengers. Do we have to lose a small child's life before action is taken? is this situation not as serious as the current Toyota brake situation" thank you for your attention.
