2016 nissan sentra sv with 10k miles only, car stalled while driving at 25 mph. Engine light and battery light flashed for few seconds. Car stalled and dead in the middle of road for few minutes. After multiple attempts to start the car, it worked and started behaving normally as nothing ever happened. Was not expecting this issue from 1 year old car with only 10k miles.
