“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.”

“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.”
