Vehicle shuts off completely while in motion regardless of speed. I've had it shut off while driving 15mph on the street as well as when I've been going 60+mph on the highway. Based off of other findings and lawsuits, I've began to suspect it is the transmission. I've taken it to the Nissan dealership each time it has happened, and they've never been able to give me an answer. I've gotten my warranty extended by them, but that's it.

On approximated on February 02, 2020 on the North bound 215 fwy existing fwy off ramp on newport blvd in menifee ca, when my 2016 Nissan Versa stall, it's on drive and not moving. No warning signs of any mechanical issues, no engine light on. I turned off the engine and restarted then I was able to drive but the RPM is moving up and down. I pulled over to the nearest gas station and called my roadside assistant through geico. The next day I drove the vehicle to pedder Nissan dealership for a diagnostic of the vehicle. The service dept return my call and notified me that my transmission is out on a less than four years old vehicles that I purchased brand new from this dealership. The dealership & Nissan consumer affair have both have given me the runs around. I see there bulletin for my vehicle model and year. I need assistance, please.

Purchased a 2016 Nissan Versa (brand new) car ran well until 11/18/19. When I left work, started car as usual and headed home. Passed a roundabout along with some freeway driving. While on roberts rd. At a traffic light (waiting for right away) car seemed fine, but once I applied the gas to cross the intersection on a green light. Nothing happened. All the dummy lights came on, radio and heat was still working but car shut down at rush hour. I could not move. I called for the police to help then had it towed to the Nissan dealership. I later found out that there was a technical service bulletin sent to dealers about this issue of cars stalling. Why was I not made aware and sold a lemon. I thank god that it did not happen on the freeway or roundabout. The dealer claimed they fixed the problem, but my hunch told me it's a lemon and not to keep it. I now own a 2020 Toyota corolla. I don't want anyone to go through what I went through, very scary. Fyi if you goggle Nissan cars stalling there is a news story from ktnv channel 13 out of Nevada.

The front driver side Continental contiprocontact P185/65 R15 tire exploded while parked. The vehicle had been parked for an hour and a half, and had only been driven less than ten miles prior to the explosion. The outside temperature was 65 degrees Fahrenheit and it was raining, so heat was not a factor. The tire dot # is P5fp3yp2715. The tires themselves are three years old and have 54,710 miles on them.
