NHTSA Complaint #11073790 — 2014 NISSAN VERSA

SYMPTOMS ' CAR DRIVEN TODAY ABOUT 100 MILES. ENGINE SHUTOFF FOR GAS UP. ON RESTART THE ENGINE CAME ON,BUT NO POWER WHEN IN GEAR. PRESS OF ACCELERATOR BUT CAR BARELY MOVED. SHUTDOWN AND TURN BACK ON AND GOT A LITTLE POWER. LOOKED AT THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND THOSE DO NOT COME ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. LIGHTS CHECKED AND ARE GOOD BULBS. THE ENGINE IDLED SMOOTHLY, THE TRANSMISSION WAS PROPERLY FUNCTIONING AND ENGAGED. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO ANY MOVEMENT FROM ON THE FOOT PEDAL TO THE ENGINE IN ANY GEAR, INCLUDING NEUTRAL AND PARK. AGAIN, THE ENGINE IDLED SMOOTHLY, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED PROPERLY WHEN SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE, ETC. HAD THIS SAME ISSUE ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER, NISSAN MECHANIC NOTED THE NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND GOT THOSE TO COME BACK ON. ONCE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORKED, THE ISSUE SUDDENLY WAS GONE. VERSA WAS BROUGHT IN FOR NO POWER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL KEPT DISENGAGING. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CRUISE CONTORL MODULE, THE BRAKE MODULE AND THE POWER TRAIN. ACTS AS IF THE COMPUTER CONTROL IS GETTING SIGNALS THAT BASICALLY DISCONNECTS THE ACCELERATION SIGNALS, OR IS CAUSING THE CVT TRANSMISSION TO DISCONNECT, EVEN THOUGH WE CAN SHIFT THROUGH TH GEARS WITH NO PROBLEM. JUST WON'T GET ANY ACCELERATION AT ALL.
