NHTSA Complaint #11278865 — 2012 NISSAN VERSA

WHEN SITTING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT STOP LIGHTS, MY CAR WOULD AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF CAUSING THE NEED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH POINT SOMETIMES IT WOULD TURN ON AND SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T. THERE WERE ALSO TIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL OR PULL BACK WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND SPEEDING UP IN TRAFFIC. I VISITED MIDAS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND AFTER DIAGNOSIS, THEY ATTEMPTED TO SAVE THE TRANSMISSION BY REPLACING THE FLUID. THIS ATTEMPT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL AND THEY DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A FAIRLY NEW CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. THERE IS A TRANSMISSION RECALL FOR A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MODEL OF THE NISSAN VERSA 2012, BUT NOT THE NISSAN VERSA SL 2012. THIS SHOULD ALSO BE ON THE RECALL LIST.
