WTF!! Car shuts on and off while driving

[laxpower87]

I jus purchased the car a couple of weeks ago and the car is shutting on and off while i drive. Battery connection is good. Sitting on side of road waiting to get towed to nisaan. Anybody heard of this happening yet to brand new altima coupe?

No idea, but doesnt sound safe. Take it directly to Nissan

That button isn't for the radio! That is the ignition button!!!

I am just playing...sounds like you have some grounded wires somewhere in the system, especially if it turns back on without you touching anything.

obviously this is the first test in a long list of tests that skynet is running on how to destroy the human race.

well nissan has it and should hear from them tomorrow. probably a short or something to do with wires as states above. doubt it has anything to do with it but plugged in a car charger for iphone that wasnt compatible with that particular iphone a little before that for first time. lol and very funny guys with the testing but i wouldnt doubt with all the electronics in the cars these days

AHH!!! IPHONES ARE DESTROYING THE WORLD!!!

My wife's nano worked for 5 years and 4 weeks after owning the Altima it was caput...while it was plugged into the car charging, just froze and won't do anything now except the restart function.

Did you leave that plugged in while the car was off? My dad did that with his portable XM and left it plugged in for a week and killed his battery...

That happened to my old ipod video. It just decided to freeze and restart but only go into disk mode. Then I got really angry and smashed it on the floor. That put a huge dent in it so there was no chance of it working after that. Oh well!

well it turns out that it was the ipdm (interminent power distributor module) its a box of electrical crap that sends a signal to the car and the relay kept shorting in and out. dont know if the iphone caused it or not i am not charging it in the car anymore though. Hopefully the problem is solved

If you press & hold 2 buttons at the same time it resets the ipod. You press the middle button & I'm pretty sure it's the menu button & press them & hold them down together until the ipod screen comes back on. Mine froze up & was stuck on a screen & wouldn't do anything at all a while back & that's what I was told to do & it worked. & I haven't had any probs since. Try that. & if the menu button is the wrong one which it may be, go to the Apple website & there should be a forum where someone will know which buttons you press simutaneously.

We tried that, that works in that it restarts, but it goes to the mainscreen (It is a Gen 1 Nano) it won't let you click Play or use the Scroll Wheel.

Not to COMPLETELY thread jack (He did get his car fixed so we are all set...haha) but anyone know of a more..."Hardware" reset for an Ipod instead of just software resets? (Besides a concrete floor)
