I was at a stop sign the auto start stop was on. The car stopped engine off while at the stop sign. I heard a chime Ive never heard before, pressed gas pedal and didnt move. Realized the car was off and now was in neutral. It took me a couple minutes to get the car back on and continue on my way. This a brand new car at the time had approx 1025 miles on it. I have now made an appt at the dealership to trouble shoot the issue.
4 separate times now when driving the vehicle the vehicle has sputtered and died. The first time we were on a road driving at around 40mph and were able to coast into a parking lot. After a few minutes the vehicle restarted a we took it to the dealer the next day. The first 2 occurrences were in January of 2024. The 3rd occurrence was on April 23,2024. At around 9:30 PM, I was on my way home from the store and driving at 55mph when the vehicle suddenly died and was coasting. I was able to coast into an empty school parking lot. The Pathfinder would not restart and had to be towed to the dealership. They replaced the fuel pump and we picked it up on April 29th. The 4th time happened on May 20, 2024. We had just dropped our dogs off at the groomer and as we were leaving their parking lot, the engine suddenly died and would not restart. Since the vehicle does not have a way of putting it into reverse when it is off, we had to try starting it repeatedly until we were able to get it into neutral and then it had to be pushed back into the parking lot and had to be towed from there to the dealership, where it currently sits.
Too long for this space, I have attached a PDF with all the information Also attached "work order" picture of vehicle being towed, then pictures of the alerts these were from Sunday but were the same from Saturday through Monday. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I BELIEVE IT IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT A BRAND NEW CAR HAS 2 ENGINE FAILURES IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAYS! I AM HIGHLY CONCERNED IT MAY BE ANOTHER ISSURE THAN THE BATTERY AND I WANT THEM TO BE RECALLED AND SAFE FOR EVERYONE!!! THEY WILL HAVE THIS CAR BACK ON LOT FOR SALE PROBABLY TODAY!!! PLEASE HELP
