First day of major heat wave. Fire on side of traveled road as traffic starts to move the 2017 Altima 3.5 engine car with anout 9500 miles on it suddenly without any warning looses power and gas peddle has no response. Car felt heavy rolls backwards towards edge as it seemed it had shut down automatically. Try to restart and won't start until 4th try. Still heavy with loss of power. Managed to drive pass the danger area not knowing why a new veichle would shut down without notice. Doing some research now and getting scared.it sounds similar to other Nissan veichle problems.worried this is a dangerous car to drive
