Four problems related to engine shut off without warning have been reported for the 2014 Nissan Versa. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving about 30 miles/hour, there was a sound and the car shut down, engine stopped, lost power steering and brake became heavy, no lights in speedometer and indicators went off/black screen. Brakes were soft but I was able to stop. I restarted the engine and I was able to drive. Then I was on a freeway about 20 min later, driving 65 miles/hour and the car made a big noise, shook as if I drove on a pothole, and it was the same thing. No engine, accelerator didn't work, I was coasting, lost power steering, and hard to push down breaks. Power in the panels were off. I was able to use emergency signal, pulled over eventually and waited for about 3-4 min. Before restarting the car. It worked again and I was able to drive. The same thing happened last year, and today it happened twice. Both times, it was a hot day.
My vehicle shuts off on me when driving and it happens sporadically. Driving on city street loss acceleration wheel locks.
Car shut off while driving on a city street and couldnt steer.
In motion. This car would vibrate while steering (turning) and accelerating, forcing the rmps to flex up without gain of power. The rpma would randomly flex up and down while driving at a maintained speed. Then a day at a store I turn the car on, went to put it in drive an it stalled out- 5 times to get to to move. Then it would stall out while coming to a stop/at a stop/still in gear (drive) so I would have to slam it into neutral when slowing down for a stop or at a stop. Until one day as I was driving I didn't need to completely stop as I turned to another road bc no one was coming, as I used the accelerator to gain my speed the rmp flexed up and down but my speed decreased leading to the car stallling out on side of road. I turned it off then tried to start it and to put it in gear it again stalled out, after that it wouldn't turn over an it got towed to my place where it sits and doesn't start or move, it has 3 recalls come to find out an I contacted Nissan which told me to contact the nearest Nissan dealership that told me to go call Nissan. So pretty much I've gotten zero information an a run around. This car is a safety hazard. I'm lucky I wasn't driving 60mph or more and the engine shuts off and everything locks up. Will be trying to start this car to determine if it should need to be towed 3 hours away from the nearest Nissan dealership.
