My nissan sentra decided to stall out in the middle of a very busy intersection. Was able to restart the nissan after about 15 seconds. Later that day i was unable to start my car. Battery was jumped and the car was running until i turned my headlights on. I had to be towed home. I believe my can sensor and crank sensor need to be replaced and there was a recall for this complaint before.
