Driving home from movie with my family at night and the brake light came on and then the battery light came on and then the entire dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree. Truck hesitated and then all the lights went out (including hazards) and vehicle died in the middle of busy intersection. No headlights, emergency flashers or anything. It is lucky we weren't hit by another vehicle as the intersection was dark.
I had an almost new truck towed to local Nissan dealership for repairs. Service desk manager said that in his 15 years at Nissan had never seen a newer Nissan vehicle have an alternator go bad this early. No alternator available on West Coast from Nissan factory. Dealership had to request replacement alternator from East Coast. Two days without a vehicle now. For what I paid for this truck I should not be experiencing this issue.
