“As I was driving approximately 30 MPH straight on a city street my car abruptly shut off completely while in drive. Radio stopped, no warning lights, all electrical seemed to die, power steering and power brakes seemed all to be gone. No dash lights are on. The car started up after trying 3 times without results. It happened once before in a similar situation that I wrote off as a fluke. Now I'm scared to drive it.”

“I don't know how to explain other than saying it seems car is not grounded correctly. When I use atms while sitting in car I get a painful shock. Tried several locations to see if that was the problem. Now open door rather than reach through door window. Really a strong shock. The car is running bit either in drive with brakes on or park.”

“2015 Nissan rouge A/C is not blowing cold air. Purchased the car 7 months ago (in winter time). Now that the weather is hot and I need the cool air it has not been working I took it in and found that the A/C o rings at evap were leaking and had it replaced and recharged. Still having issues with it. It will not blow cold air at 60 degrees and if the A/C button is not pushed and left on the air coming through has a foul smell to it.”

“I was in a small parking lot for a playground in wayland, ma. I was driving very slowly as kids can come out of nowhere. I found a spot to park on the left, so I turned my wheels and went in. To make a complete stop, I pressed on the brake. Suddenly the car accelerate, and go through the chain link fence, with the engine making a roaring sound. I immediately pushed harder on the brake, as the car went through the fence. The vehicle stopped when I pushed on the brake harder to the floor.”

“During a cold season, there was fog and ice on the windshield and I turned on the defroster to clear it. The heating function of the defroster failed, and I could not clear the windshield or keep it clear as I drove.”
