Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS THE CAR BEGINS TO LURCH AND THEN STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO DAYS. IN ADDITION, WHEN YOU STOP AT A REDLIGHT AND THEN START TO GO AT THE GREEN LIGHT THE CAR STALLS. THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND US. THE CAR STALLED AT THE LIGHT SO WE HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THEN PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR, AND THEN PUT IN DRIVE. THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD BUT STALLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION. WE REPEATED THE START UP PROCESS AND THE CAR DROVE HOME. THIS MORNING THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. WE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY ADVISED THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS. THIS CAR IS SIMPLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS STATE. WE DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT A DEALER THIS MORNING. I AM PROVIDING THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE MANY OTHERS HAVE AS WELL. OUR CAR JUST WENT OVER 36000 MILES
