1st incident- driving on main street of town hwy 31 S, car simply quit while in motion, while driving- no warning, no lights. Could not move, start etc.. had to call police to assist me in getting the car out of the main highway. 2nd incident- driving on I65 S interstate, doing 70mph, car quit while driving! had to throw on flashers and coast it into the median, the cops were called and had to have it towed to mechanic. My daughter and I were both in the car and could have been seriously injured or killed.- called Nissan to report, they advised they knew of no recalls.and were unconcerned just advised to take to mechanic- where it was. 3rd- car is now doing the same, will loose power when turning, and going up hills- always loses power/dies when in motion.

Door lock issue - all four door lock actuators do not function, the doors will not lock when going over 15 miles an hour (a safety feature), if the door is locked manually, it will not unlock when the engine is shut off. Could be hazardous if needing to leave the car quickly.

Battery went dead for no reason. Parked car about 1pm; upon attempting to drive vehicle about 5pm found I could not open door with my remote. Inserted key in door and unable to turn to unlock. Had a co-worker try and he could not turn. Had a third person try and after turning very hard, he was able to unlock door. Upon opening door, interior lights did not go on as they normally do. Tried to start car in normal way - nothing. Put key fab into ignition - nothing. Determined that battery dead. After jumping vehicle, it started and ran fine. Determined that nothing was left on other than the fan for the air conditioning. Now carry jumper cables and conscious to park where car can be jumped if necessary.

Car battery died suddenly with no lights or anything else left on. It happened twice and was exactly same. Both cases I was stranded with no other options to tow the car and need to take taxi to get my family home, I was lucky to have access to taxi. Dealers were unable to locate and fix the fault in both cases and give me lame excuse something was left on. For me it's serious safety issue as I can't afford to take my family in this car with no confidence that when would it die again. My family was stranded once outside in 100F heat and I don't want this to happen again. Either they identify the issue and fix it or take the car back and replace it with similar car. Regards
