2 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2018

While driving my Nissan Versa I need to let it warm up completely. When I say completely I mean wait about 10-15 min before driving off. If I do not my car will stall when I press the breaks. This has happened many many times. Some times it doesnt but now that it is colder weather it does it more often. If I do leave before it warms up I expect it to stall at the stop sign, light, turn, or traffic. I usually have to kick it into park turn the car off and back on. I will do this multiple times until its warmed up. Sometimes it wont even want to work again until its warmed up so sometimes im just stuck in traffic or the side of the road. Today my car did this several times. I work only about 7 miles from my house and it stalled 5 times.

3 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 07/24/2018

On 7/24/18 while driving my 2014 Nissan Versa on north I-15 near charleston blvd in construction stop and go traffic, I had slowed to a stop based on traffic. As the traffic began to move, I tried to accelerate and car sputtered, but moved and then aftet driving a quarter of a mile at a speed of 25 mph, the car just stopped while in drive. All dsahboards lights and engine indication came on. Luckily the car behind me screeched to stop. I immediately put on hazards and pulled emergency brake and put car in park. I tried to restart car and it wouldn't start. After five minutes, the car started and I was able to drive home. I advised my daughter and told her I would put car in shop. On 7/26/18, I took car to auto care for assessment. My vehicle had only 31,290 miles on it. They found nothing wrong but out of concern, I had a 30,000 mile service done on car. On 8/3/18, I was advised by another driver that my brake lights were not working. I went home and my daughter saw that the lights were out also. I checked as she braked and no lights. I drove on hazards to auto repair and they checked vehicle and lights worked. They stated maybe an electrical shortage but return if lights go out again. From the time I purchased this car brand new in March of 2014, I have taken it back to Nissan for lack of power, sputtering at stops and intermittent stalls. Nissan replaced oxygen sensor a year ago when car stopped while driving and advised that it's a small car so won't have a lot of power. On 8/23/18, I received notice from Nissan regarding sudden stops and to bring car to dealer for repair. I am afraid to drive the vehicle or have my grandchildren with me when I drive. The car stutters at stop and hesitation is constant. I'm not sure Nissan can repair this issue.

4 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 06/17/2014

Bought my car brand new in 2014. Almost immediately started having transmission stalling and slipping issues within two months. My car stalled out and died on the freeway in the middle of rush hour traffic. I went to my Nissan dealership to have it looked at and fixed under warranty. They did not fix it, nor do I think they even looked at it. My car stalls, slips, grinds and vibrates every time I gas it. There have been a handful of other times my car has stalled out and died in the middle of a busy street, while driving. I've had my car for three years and I've been to my dealership many times during warranty and after warranty for this issue and each time the problem has not been resolved. There was even a recall for my transmission, in which I went to the dealership 3 times for it, and it still has not been resolved months after I received the recall notice. I've tried looking this recall up, and I cannot find it. Perhaps the dealership stated that this issue has been resolved when it has not. I do not feel safe in my car, and I feel as if the Nissan dealership I bought my car from is adding to the lack of safety of my vehicle.
