Hi there,

In the last year, I have had a battery changed, new ignition coils and new spark plugs all to my 2015 Qashqai. The engine management light comes on (orange) and recently I was driving and "Chasis Control System Failure" comes up on the dashboard and the car began to lose power until the accelerator would not work.

After about an hour, the car worked completely fine and has been driving around since last Thursday when this occurred, however, today, the engine management light has come on again...

Has anyone else had this issue? I've had 2 mechanics look at the car and they can't seem to tell me what the issue is. Could this be a sensor issue? One has said a 'time-belt' problem but I've spent enough money as it is that I want to get it right this time.

Any comments are appreciated to help diagnose the issue!
