ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE FAILURE HAPPENED TWICE TODAY. I DROVE MY NISSAN ALTIMA GXE IN NEW YORK, NY ON AUG. 19, 2000 AT ABOUT 6:30PM. WHEN I WAS APPROACHING TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT SPEED ABOUT 15-20 MPH THE ENGINE DIED AND EMERGENCY LIGHTS WENT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART MY CAR. 10-15 MINUTES LATER, WHILE MOVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 15 MPH THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN AND AT THIS TIME BOTH EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND SOUND ALARM WENT OFF. I WAS LUCKY ONCE MORE TO STOP SAFELY. I TURNED OFF THE ALARM USING ALARM KEY ON THE IGNITION KEY-CHAIN AND RESTARTED CAR AGAIN. I USED ORIGINAL NISSAN IGNITION KEY WITH "SMART CHIP". GAS TANK WAS 1/4 FULL. ON JULY 22, 2000 MY CAR HAD RECOMENDED BY NISSAN 7500 MILE INTERVAL SERVICE.
