WENT TO START MY VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING BUT THE ENGINE WOULD START. TRIED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, LOCKED, UNLOCKED CAR THEN LEFT IT ALONE FOR 5 MINUTES AND IT FINALLY STARTED. THEN, LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE BCI MALFUNCTION WARNING AND A BUNCH OF OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. HAD TO PULL OVER, LOOK UP THIS WARNING AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS OTHERS WHO HAD THIS SAME ISSUE DID. I TURNED VEHICLE OFF, WAITED A MINUT AND TURNED IT BACK ON. WARNING CLEARES. THE NEXT MORNING MY CAR WOULDN'T START. HAD TO SWAP CARS WITH HUSBAND SO I COULD GET TO WORK. THIS MORNING I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT WOULDN'T START. I'VE NOW BEEN WAITING 3 HRS FOR A TOW TRUCK TO GET VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 40K MILES AND IS A 2017 MODEL.

WHILE DRIVING AT RATE OF 45 MILES PER HOUR IN THE CITY OF OXNARD, CA IN MY 2017 NISSAN ARMADA SL, THE CAR STARTED TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN TO A SPEED OF 5 MILES PER HOUR, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE ANTISKID AND 4X4 LIGHTS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THE CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO ALLOW TRAFFIC TO CONTINUE. AFTER WAITING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WITH THE CAR OFF I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THEN DROVE AS NORMAL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET LOOKED AT, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULDN'T DETERMINE THE CAUSE USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. THE CAR CONTINUES TO DRIVE NORMAL, BUT THEN STALLS AND THE SAME ISSUE ARISES.
