NHTSA Complaint #11045968 — 2011 NISSAN VERSA

SEPTEMBER 26, 2017, I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET GOING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH WHEN MY CAR JUST STOPPED NEAR THE END OF THE ROAD. I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I COULDN'T EVEN STEER. IT SCARED ME! I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A MINUTE AND TURNED THE KEY. IT STARTED BUT I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT TO WORK SO I WENT BACK HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC TO SEE IF HE COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. IT WAS THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY: P2138. I WAS TOLD IT HAD THE WRONG APP SENSOR RATIONALITY SIGNAL. THE MECHANIC WAS ADVISED BY THE NISSAN DEALER TO TELL ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THE PART WAS REPLACED AS THE CAR COULD SHUT DOWN ANYTIME, ANYPLACE WITHOUT WARNING AND COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL. I DID AS I WAS TOLD AND LEFT MY CAR AT THE SHOP UNTIL MY PART CAME IN AND WAS REPLACED.
