Thankfully I was close to home and was able to get it back safely. After about an hour I went back out and the car started right up and is driving fine again.
I have had the car at 2 different dealers now and neither one is able to tell me what is wrong with the car. Can you all help me out please.

I had the same issue, found out it was the crank shaft sensor, we also had prior issues with the vehicle, the radiator had to be replaced after a year and a half and they could not tell us why it started leaking, so we are concerned that this car is flawed, I have been told that crank shaft sensors are not a common issue typically, my car also died while driving, obviously could
be dangerous. The replacement of the crank shaft sensor seems to have fixed the issue so far but it has only been a week and I still wonder if this could happen again- I too then discovered the recall, had the vin checked and was told I was not on the recall, vin was not a match, however I told them it seemed odd that I had that very same issue. We have called Nissan's consumer services and have spoken with so called supervisors etc that we feel the car has had too many issues in such a short time when bought new and that the vehicle stalling like that could be a danger- their response was "safety is YOUR responsibility" So looks like they feel if the car dies from this faulty sensor and I you an accident , it's my fault. They were useless adn they were actually very rude and offered us nothing, not even an apology and said- that's what warranties are for. That was not the issue anyway. I would definitely have the crank shaft sensor looked at and check the recalls list- I have requested thay send me in writing proof that my car was not on the recall list- they told me it was not covered under the power train but was covered under the basic warranty- mine had already expired though.
