What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan versa. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was restarted and operated normally for approximately 5 miles before stalling a second time. The contact indicated that the failure was recurring. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but the defect could not be duplicated and no repairs were performed. The contact also stated that the transmission erroneously engaged into neutral. The manufacturer was not contacted.
I've spoken to nissan complaints, and I've gotten nothing. Nissan versas intermittently shutter when driving. This is dangerous. Nissan told me it could be the transmission, but refuse to dig into it because they claim they can't find the codes. This is crap. I'm not driving an unsafe vehicle. The transmission is a CVT. When I accelerate past 2 rpg it shutters repeatedly. There needs to be some kind of recall
