1 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2019

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.
