The gas gauge is not accurate and ever since running out of gas the first time it's been acting stranger and stranger. The noise no longer chimes when running low it also doesn't have extra fuel reserve so once you run out you run out. My cars fuel pump just went out in the middle of the freeway and this was at night. The car no longer starts yet alone move. I got stuck on the freeway traffic on both sides it was full of people flying by me so I could not even get out to move.

The Nissan Versa 2017 is unsafe to be driving in the road because it turns off while it's driving in the middle of the street. I fixed my car 2 times and it keeps on having the same problems and Nissan doesn't want to do anything about it. I took the car to the dealership and they made me buy parts that the car didn't even need and the car broke down 20 miles later after it being 'fixed'. now I took it back and I have to pay again for it to be fixed and idk if it will happen again and I feel unsafe in this car.

At 5:30, 1 Dec 2018, driving 45 mph nothing unusual when my car just stopped moving! I had my foot flat to the ground on the gas and it was no where! I had to through my hazards on because I was on a county road and nearly got hit! I pulled over into a neighborhood and drove some more to see if it was a freak thing but it happened about 8 more times (really quickly like the engine died for 10 seconds, came back, died again; I was just jolting forward when it came back on!) it was totally and completely unsafe to drive so I had to have it towed to my Nissan dealership! it sounds exactly like what happened to the guy in charlottesville, where I am close and I would bet money it's the exact same issue they found in his car but Nissan needs to do something! I was just there 3 weeks ago for my inspection!

Results of complaint # 11154861 2017 Versa sv shuts down while driving problem: "when it is cold outside the engine stalls or lose power during acceleration. Today 11/29/2018 it was 28 degrees. I warmed the car up for a few minutes because of the stalling problem. I was driving on the street for two miles when I came to a stop sign. I put on the brakes and the car shut down. The car was still in drive. There was no check engine light or warning prior to, during, or after the time the car shut down. I had to turn the ignition to the off position. Then put the car in park. Then crank the car back up to drive out the way of the cars behind me. I drove the car to the nearest Nissan dealership. They check the car. There were no codes in the computer. The dealership is going to keep the car overnight and test drive it in the morning when it is cold. I am very disappointed. I just purchased the car two months ago with 5000 miles. Today it only has 8000 miles on it and it is stalling and shutting off when I drive it. Complaint results: Today, 11/30/2018 I called the Nissan dealership to get a status on my car. They said the transmission unit failed. They are ordering me a new transmission. NHTSA please make this problem known to the public so other Nissan owners don't have to go through the problems I am going through. Thank you.
