ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PURCHASED A 2016 NISSAN VERSA (BRAND NEW) CAR RAN WELL UNTIL 11/18/19. WHEN I LEFT WORK, STARTED CAR AS USUAL AND HEADED HOME. PASSED A ROUNDABOUT ALONG WITH SOME FREEWAY DRIVING. WHILE ON ROBERTS RD. AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT (WAITING FOR RIGHT AWAY) CAR SEEMED FINE, BUT ONCE I APPLIED THE GAS TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGHT. NOTHING HAPPENED. ALL THE DUMMY LIGHTS CAME ON, RADIO AND HEAT WAS STILL WORKING BUT CAR SHUT DOWN AT RUSH HOUR. I COULD NOT MOVE. I CALLED FOR THE POLICE TO HELP THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN SENT TO DEALERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE OF CARS STALLING. WHY WAS I NOT MADE AWARE AND SOLD A LEMON. I THANK GOD THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY OR ROUNDABOUT. THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT MY HUNCH TOLD ME IT'S A LEMON AND NOT TO KEEP IT. I NOW OWN A 2020 TOYOTA COROLLA. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GO THROUGH WHAT I WENT THROUGH, VERY SCARY. FYI IF YOU GOGGLE NISSAN CARS STALLING THERE IS A NEWS STORY FROM KTNV CHANNEL 13 OUT OF NEVADA.

ENGINE
TRYING TO LEAVE FOR WORK, TURN ON MY CAR AND THEN THERE WAS A SQUEAL (LIKE A BELT) AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, NOT THE CAR (BATTERY IS WORKING). I DO THIS ABOUT THREE TIMES TO SEE IF MAYBE THE GAS NEEDED TO BE PRESSED OR IF THE CAR NEEDED TO BE IN GEAR, SAME THING HAPPENED. I CALL MY FATHER FOR ADVISE, AND I WANTED HIM TO HEAR THE NOISE BEFORE THE SHUT OFF, SO I TURN OFF THE RADIO, AC, EVERYTHING. THEN THE CAR STARTS AND STAYS ON. TURNS OUT THAT IF I HAD THE FAN GOING IT WAS SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. I TAKE IT TO SISK NISSAN AND THEY INSPECT, SAY FIRST THAT ITS THE CONDENSER AND AFTER THE PART IS ORDERED AND THE CAR TAKEN APART THEY SAY THAT THE WHOLE AC SYSTEM IS CONTAMINATED. THE COMPRESSOR HAD STOPPED WORKING. ONE WEEK WITHOUT AC AND ONE WEEK IN THE SHOP TO REPLACE THE WHOLE AC SYSTEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY VECHICLE STARTE TO CUT OUT ON ME AFTER 37000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING FROM JURY DUTY IN THE AFTERNOON IN TRAFFIC AND IT JUST STALLED OUT ON ME. THE ENGINE CUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO CRANK IT AGAIN AND MOVED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAITED 45 MINUTES. I DID NOT TURN THE AIR CONDITION ON. IT CRANKED AND I WENT HOME. A WEEK LATER IT DID THE SAME THING BUT IT WOULD NOT CRANK AGAIN. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP. HE SAID IT WAS THE COMPRESSOR. HE REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR AND I PICKED IT UP AGAIN AND IN A FEW DAYS LATER IT CUT OFF ON ME AND MY FAMILY AGAIN. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL BOX. HE REPLACED IT AND IT WAS RUNNING AGAIN.HOWEVER IN 2 DAYS IT TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING AGAIN.THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE. IT ONLY HAS 38K MILES ON IT. NOW IT WILL NOT DRIVE. I AM STUCK WITH A CAR NOTE AND NO CAR TO DRIVE.
