What owners say
Over the past 4 years I have delt with my 2014 Nissan Versa Note SV constantly stalling in the middle of the road. I have replaced the transmission, TCM, and brake light wiring harness. I have had the Nissan dealership assess my vehicle three different times for 3+ days. They have completed wiring diagnostics and determined that the brake light wiring harness is getting water into the wiring causing a short and blowing the #49 fuse under the hood that also operates the transmission CVT/TCM. Their solution was to replace the wiring harness. This was completed last week. It rained again the last couple days off and on. The fuse has blown again. This causes the vehicle to stall in the middle of the road. There is no advanced warning or messages that appear. The check engine light does not come on either. It is way too hot out for my new baby for the vehicle to stall and not be able to run. Cars begin honking and swerving around my vehicle. The vehicle has to be pushed out of the road. Fuse after fuse has been replaced. New light bulbs. New wiring harness and still the same outcome. Please help.
The car turn off while driving at 45mph and then check engine light came on and some other sensors
Car is not wanting to accelerate, continues to shift hard, stalls on flat ground Electrical outlets on car seem to have a short, will work one minute, next they do not Passenger window is slowing when rolling up
I was driving in stop abs ho traffic and the car cut off out if no where. The car jerks when you drive it and stalls. It seems like it requires a lot of work to accelerate and the rpm fluctuates between 2&3 when keeping a steady pace. The care bucks while you are driving. I just bought this car so these issues are alarming to me. It also looks as if the airbag on the top left might be exposed.
I used my car to pick up my spouse. It was a hot summer afternoon. All of a sudden my engine stalled. It will not run. The engine had turned off all of a sudden without a warning.good that I was still in the parking lot with my young son.if I w as in a street I don't really know what will happen next. It was scary!then I turned on again the engine,I was able to drive from york road to my home but I used the backroad to avoid any accident that might happen.
The fuel gauge is inaccurate once below 3/8ths of a tank. This could lead to a stall on the freeway or in a dangerous area leading to an accident. The problem leaves insufficient time to get to the shoulder of the road. Our particular incident had the meter at 3/8ths and the vehicle stalled. The car was shut off and, when turned back on, the gauge was showing empty. In addition to the problem of a stall causing a potential accident, the fuel pump uses gasoline to cool and lubricate it, leading to potential long-term problems with the fuel system as it was run until empty. Nissan has had historical problems with fuel gauges and this is in line with similar complaints throughout the years.

My car will randomly shut down while driving when it gets too hot. The steering locks up, all the lights come on in the car (engine light etc.) and I can't drive. It starts working again when I turn it off and turn it back on. I already took it to the dealership but it has done it since I've taken it. It has done it while driving on both the freeway and city streets.
