2013 Nissan Murano Electrical Problems

2013 Nissan Murano (81,000 miles): Engine warning light came on, code check revealed "Mass Airflow Senser" while waiting for dealer appointment car was running fine with no issues other than warning light. I was driving the car at 40 MPH and the car came to a complete stop "as if engine was turned off". there was no warning. no breaks, no steering. Car was almost in ditch but I managed to force steering back onto road (I was the only one at risk). Car restarted as though no problem had occurred. Research revealed same issue with other model years.

THE CAR WAS PUT IN REVERSE AND THERE WERE NO OVERHEAD STREET LAMPS. NOTHING COULD BE SEEN BUT A GLARE FROM THE GUIDE LINES ON THE SCREEN. YOU CAN'T TELL IF YOU ARE BACKING UP ON GRASS OR PAVEMENT. YOU CAN NOT TELL IF THERE IS A MAIL BOX, SPRINKLER, DOG OR CHILD BEHIND YOUR CAR AT NIGHT. THE CAMERA WORKS BUT IS BLURRY DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. *TR
