The car spontaneously shut down. "EV OFF" displayed on the screen. I was in the middle of the road and unable to turn on the car or shift into neutral to push it off the road. I had to wait over an hour for a tow while in the road. This appears to be an increasing problem as many owners are reporting the same issue on the Nissan Ariya electric SUV Discussion Group page on Facebook.
While coming to a complete stop using manual braking the vehicle appeared to lose power. The infotainment system went black and reset. The car itself did not need to be restarted and the manual brakes were still responsive. Additionally there is a recurring loud popping/cracking noise during normal driving (not charging).
