2 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2014 Nissan Versa Note

Failure Date: 03/01/2020

Driving on city road at about 40 mph going over bridge, and car just shut off in middle of driving. Cars had to swerve to avoid hitting me. Almost got hit a couple times. Stuck in middle of a busy road. The car has 61,000 miles on it. Regularly oil changes and serviced. There was no warning lights or warnings beforehand that prepared me for the incident. Checked battery connections and tried to restart, no startup. Had to car a tow truck to get it towed to home, then to Nissan dealership in my area. The Nissan service in my area has been trying to figure out what the issue is, and they have no idea.

5 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2014 Nissan Versa Note

Failure Date: 07/03/2015

Was driving on highway during stop and go traffic and engine cut off completely while the car was in drive. Put car in park, and try to restart but vehicle would not restart and had to be pushed to the side of the road during traffic. Made several attempts to restart vehicle and it would not start. I let car sit for 30 minutes and car finally restarted. I took the car to dealership on 7/6/15 and they adjusted the idle but could not diagnose the issue. On 8/8/15, I was leaving a store and started to yield to turn onto a busy street and the car completely died again. I took the car on 8/11/15 to Nissan dealership and they reprogrammed the ecm, but did not say that would permanently fix the issue. I'm an extremely concerned consumer as I have seen several post online from consumers for this very issue, and I don't feel Nissan has done their part to diagnose the issue. Being that the car shuts off unexpectedly with out forewarning, I'm concerned should this shut down occur when the vehicle is traveling at a high speed a fatality could occur.

6 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2014 Nissan Versa Note

Failure Date: 09/01/2014

Was driving vehicle back from las vegas back to California on 9/1/14. All accessories on a/c radio during the drive back started to hit traffic on the freeway. So I began to slow down and while sitting in stop and go traffic moving at about 30-35 mph, vehicle started to feel like it was misfiring started to shudder as I began to take off from a stop cruising up to 35mph the vehicle then completely die's and shuts off so I throw on the hazards and coast off to the shoulder at this point still in drive no power steering though. So I sit and wait on the shoulder again start the car up and started to get back on the highway but the vehicle still felt like it was hesitating while moving at slow speed in stop and go traffic but once the traffic started moving and I got up to normal 60-65mph the vehicle felt normal again. . . Not sure if the heat from driving through the desert was getting to the car but it only seem to do it at low speeds in stop and go traffic. But honestly when it did occur it was unsettling nonetheless being in traffic and the car completely shutting off and having no power steering to get off the freeway. Can only imagine if it happened at a higher speed or taking a corner it could have bad consequences the car is brand new from the dealership and honestly after this one incident I kinda have my doubts already on reliability being a brand new car on long trips. It shouldn't exhibit any issues like this hopefully Nissan is aware of this issue cause I plan to take it to a dealership to get it checked out. Not sure if there is any bulletins for this issue being such a new car or if I'm the only one that exhibited this issue, but definitely was not a good feeling driving a new car and having it shut off on you.
