My 2005 Nissan Pathfinder started stopping in the middle of the road while on low speed. This is the third time it has stopped. I am about so take it to auto mechanic now.
Update from Apr 29, 2015: I have been so frustrated with my Nissan 2005 Pathfinder that I had to trade-in the car for merely $6,500! I barely use the car! The millage on it at time of sales Nov. 2014 was under 98,000 for a 9 years old car. Nissan is a fraud.
