Q: Car stalled while driving at 30mph. 2015 Nissan Leaf

asked by on August 29, 2016

The car has gone only 20,000 miles. One day, I was driving and the car just stalled out without any warning. There were no warnings on, no unusual sounds, nothing out of the ordinary. The stalling occurred at a very low speed of around 30 mph. As I couldn't start it up again, I had the car towed to the dealer. He couldn't find out why this happened. What could cause it to stall out?
