What owners wrote

Complete shutdown of the vehicle while driving down the road. Caused me to go into a ditch. The vehicles lights flashed and then it just shut off. Had the alternator replaced twice also the battery replaced twice and now the nissan dealership has said they don't know what's wrong with it.

June 2024 Crash

There was a recall for a high pitch sound from the radiator. Well my car is doing this issue where the heat is on and it sounds horrible from that area. Could it not of been repaired like it stats? [xxx]
