NHTSA Complaint #10630908 — 2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE

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. *TR
