Reported at 500 miles, August 2008

I have a 2009 nissan versa that has a little over 11,000 miles on it. I have started experiencing a problem with it not wanting to start the first time along with it dying at random times while driving. Major safety issue for me and my family. I have already had it to victory nissan in knoxville, tn three times and I'm taking back again for the fourth tomorrow and they are still advising nothing is wrong with the car. I had the fuel pressure regulator replaced, but the car is still not running properly.
