WHEN DRIVING OUR NV2500 ON A CITY STREET THE VAN JUST WENT DEAD. ENGINE QUIT, NO ELECTRICAL, NO DASH LIGHTS, NOTHING. I PUT THE VAN IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART. NOTHING, TOTALLY DEAD. WAITED A MINUTE OF SO AND TRIED TO RESTART - SAME AS BEFORE - NOTHING TOTALLY DEAD. OPENED THE HOOD AND CHECKED BATTERY CABLES - OK. LOOKED FOR ANY LOOSE IGNITION WIRE - OK. LOOKED UNDERNEATH VAN FOR ANY LIQUIDS COMING OUT OF ENGINE OR ANYTHING ELSE WEIRD -OK. WE CALLED AAA TO HAVE THE VAN TAKEN TO CLASSIC NISSAN IN STATESVILLE, NC. CALLED DEALER, EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND TOLD THEM VAN WAS GOING TO BE DROPPED OFF FOR EVALUATION. BEFORE AAA DRIVER GOT TO US I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE ONE MORE TIME - WHEN I TURNED THE KEY THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND VAN STARTED UP JUST FINE. TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED NO PROBLEM. ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THIS HAPPENED OUR VAN WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVE OVERNIGHT. WHEN WE GOT IN AND TRIED TO START IT - DEAD... NO IGNITION, NO ELECTRICAL, NO LIGHTS. I MADE SURE IT WAS IN PARK

20170920FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL TANK WAS TAKING 20 MINUTES TO FILL. WE RECEIVED A FULL TANK WARRANTY EXTENSON NOTICE BUT IT TOOK THE DEALER 3 TRIPS TO FINALLY TO GET THE RIGHT PART AND REPLACE AND AFTER 2 HOURS THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE EVAP VENT VALVE AND CANISTER ASSEMBLY WITH FILTER FOR $620.00 I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE . THE DEALER SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. THEN WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED? I REFUSED TO HAVE THEM DO THIS AS I DON'T TRUST SINCE THEY COULDN'T EVEN GET THE RIGHT PART IN AND NEVER EVEN APOLOGIZED FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND DOWN TIME.
