A few years ago if you lived in North America and wanted a midsize sedan, you would choose from one of the following: Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and the Nissan Altima. Things have changed a little bit and now these cars are not only bigger in size but they also have to face up some [...] Post published on Rpmgo.com Review - 2011 Nissan Altima 2.5 S Special Edition

This is actually something that is tested and implemented.
It is a cheap and reliable way to set up a driverless public
transport.
It is possible to use current roads and you can actually put
electricity in the road or above it for electrical vehicles.
The electrical vehicles do not need to get electricity all the time so
the grid does not need to be connected all the time.
This system works really well and may be seen in ever more places as
time goes by.

********
Where, exactly, is such a system in current public use??
I have seen such concepts in semitechnical magazines (Like Popular
Science) for years, but never saw one actually commercially and
publicly deployed.

I saw something recently where GM was building a section of road, maybe a
test track. Of course, they were talking about this in 1965 too.
Construction is a bit slow, I guess.

My 2007 Xterra was built in January, 2007.
In March, 2009 My fuel level sensor was replaced under Service
Bulletin NTB07-069a at no charge. More recently I received a formal
recall on the problem, but I threw away the info because I already had
the work done at N/C. Can anyone supply a link to that recall as I
cannot find it.
This month, I was charged over a thousand dollars to replace both the
fuel pump and the IPDM. I was given the replaced parts. I found two
articles on an IPDM recalls:
OCTOBER 2010 -- Nissan is recalling certain model year 2004-2006
Armada, Titan, Infiniti QX56 and model year 2005- 2006 Frontier,
Pathfinder and Xterra Vehicles. The intelligent power distribution
module (IPDM) assembly contains an engine control module (ECM) relay
that has a diode for electrical current noise reduction. The ECM relay
may allow silicon vapor to form and, over time, the silicon evaporates
from the diode molding which causes silicon oxide to develop on the
ECM relay contact due to arcing. This could cause engine stalling
increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the ECM relay
inside the IPDM assembly. This service will be performed free of
charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during December
2010.

Nissan announces recall of 747,000 trucks, SUVs in U.S.
YAHOO NEWS -- October 28, 2010 – Nissan North America announced a
recall on Thursday of 747,000 trucks and SUVs in the U.S. because of
the risk of failure to the electrical systems.
Nissan said the recall extends to Nissan Armadas and Titans from 2004
to 2006, Infiniti QX56s from 2005 and 2006, as well as Nissan
Frontiers, Pathfinders and Xterras from August 2003 and June 2006.
The company said that it needs to replace the electrical relays in the
engine control modules -- the computers that control engine
performance and other essential components of motor vehicles.
The Japanese automaker said the problem may cause the engine to stall.
In extreme cases, a stalled engine cannot be restarted.
"Silicon vapor may form inside the electrical relay that supplies
voltage to the engine control module," said the company. "Over time,
this vapor could create oxidation on the electrical contacts in the
relay that may lead to engine performance issues, including the
possibility of stalling at low engine speeds."
No related injuries or accidents have been reported, Nissan said.
In addition to the U.S. recall, Nissan North America said the recall
extends to 23,000 of these vehicles in Canada
I am thinking of going to small claims court to recover my loses
because all this sounds too close to my problem. Can anyone supply
more ammunition?
Mike
