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.
My car shut off while I was stopped at a stop sign. The radio and air were still on. The car would not move. In order for me to move the vehicle, I had to put it into park, turn the ignition switch to off and turn the ignition back to on. Basically turn it all the way off and restart the vehicle.

I was stopped at a stop sign (about to get on the highway) and my car just shut off. No signs that it was going to do this, no spuddering or acting like it was going to die. Just shut of. I have read on forums that other Nissan Versa owners have had the same issue. Some while driving down the road. I live 64 miles from my job. Its a very dangerous situation for me if my car does that while I'm driving.

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.

The car shut off completely while I was at a red light and I had to restart it.
Car shuts off in the middle of driving and it's becoming unsafe to drive.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Versa. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle completely shut off without warning and the instrument panel lights illuminated. The air bags deployed and knocked the contact unconscious. As a result, he struck another vehicle. A police report was filed. Both the driver and contact sustained injuries. Prior to the failure, the vehicle would not crank at all. Nissan stated that someone would call the contact back, but he has yet to receive a response. The purchase date was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 11,696. Updated 4/23/08
the consumer stated the airbag deployed upon impact and the same thing happened with his 2006 Nissan altima. Updated 04/23/08.
