I was completely stopped about to pull out of a parking lot and as I turned onto a side road and got up to about 5-10 MPH my car jerked twice and completely stopped and stalled and it wouldn't rev up or do anything. The lights and everything was on but the car wouldn't move. I had to completely turn the car off in the middle of the road and back on before it would go again.

I had previously made nissan aware of a problem with my car stalling and shutting off. They assured me nothing was wrong with the vehicle, the car continued to stall and would not accelerate. Months later it would not accelerate and would decrease in speed while I was driving on the freeway. The vehicle would also not move when I would press on the gas at a red light or stop; I would have to turn it off and back on. Then it started to fail going in reverse and shutting off again while driving. Many other nissan versa owners have complaint of vehicles stalling. The vehicles are a huge safety concern and I believe nissan knows this. I have now been told that the transmission does not work. Why has nissan not done something about the terrible transmissions?
