on diving about 80km/hr, on a smooth road, suddenly the slippery road sign (vehicle dynamic control sign) came in the dashboard and the engine braking feature was turned on automatically and the vehicle came to a state of complete stop. the VDC sign was continuously on during this time. after restarting the car, noted that the VDC sign is still in the dash board along with engine malfunction sign. the vehicle is still new 412 kms, when it happened. notified the service center and they repaired the car and called me the next day. they informed me they reprogram the computer and tested the car they drove the car around 100 kms to test. i decided to check he car, and i saw the sign is already gone. but i decided to restart the car and did it in the presence of the technician itself. unfortunately the engine malfunction sign came back. THE TECHNICIAN SAID SORRY AND HE PROMISED ME THEY CHECKED THE CAR BY DRIVING 100KMS. I CHECKED THE DASH board it was more then 500 kms. i left the car there and returned home. Two days back they called me from service center informing car is repaired and ready. when i reached the service station they informed me , they change a sensor in the engine and every thing is fine. so i took the car and no problem was found for 2 days. the third day again the VDC sign came while driving and it stayed instead of blinking(as per the users manual even when the VDC is activated the sign will only blink 3 times, not stay persistent). and engine breaking was activated . i stopped the car in a near by parking and restarted the car, the sign disappeared . the next day, after a long trip, the odometer reached 1000 kms and and was about to complete the journey, the VDC sign came again, and the engine breaking applied by the car in the motorway.a really dangerous situation in which i couldn't increase the speed but,steadily decreasing the speed. luckily no accident happened but the ongoing vehicles has to stop and i could here the other vehicles are applying the horn and shouting on me. i restarted the car and the sign disappeared. with this incident i gone mad and i called the service center and i informed them about the safety issues. i told them it could be a manufacturing defect. but they are not taking it seriously . today i called them and they informed me, they are going to change the whole computer system in my car and they are waiting for the approval from the company. and it will take 2 more days. i am hoping for the best . but this time i am really frustrated.

Update from Nov 22, 2015: Two days back contacted the service centre , the executive informed me that they changed one of the engine sensor again but the problem still persisting. So they decided to change the computer system which controlls the engine and it will cost 6500 dhs and it will b covered signs the vehicle on garantee period. And thwy are waiting for approval.Next day i called again and they informed its already fixed and thy changed the computer system. I went there and collect my car. The executive informed me that it is the first time such a problem happened to any nissan vehicle. Along with this they did the first service at 1000km for my vehicle. I am driving for two days now. The malfunction didnot happen yet. Hopung for the best.
