Accelerating and stereo problems SolvedSolved

Nissan Altima 2002  150000 miles
It is not always but it occurs to me that, as I'm driving at 70 or 80 mph, the vehicle loses power and the accelerator won't work properly. At the same time that this happens the stereo turns off. In case it has something to do, the stereo is not the agency's one, and it is connected directly to the battery. I wait for a while, and suddenly the accelerator starts working again and the stereo too as if nothing had taken place.

Hey, your problem will get worse as time goes by. I recommend you to check your alternator's amperage and voltage, which must be around 110 amp and 14.55 volts. Your problem might be a damaged diode.

This happened to my Altima 2003 2.5L and I solved it by changing the alternator.

ABS indicator

Nissan Altima 2006  89000 miles
I was driving on a highway when the ABS indicator appeared on the dashboard and, at the same time, the stereo stopped working properly. An annoying noise appeared, and remained even when I turned off the stereo. After some minutes the ABS indicator finally disappeared. And there was one other electrical inconvenience: the parking brake and battery lights turned on at the same time.

Your problem is in the alternator which is starting to fail. You should check its voltage, which should be between 14.55-14.8 volts. Speed the car up and it should not oscilate.
