Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY TWO KIDS ON THE FAR RIGHT LANE WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT SWITCH GEARS. IN THE PAST MY CAR WOULD JERK AND I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS AND IT WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE.I LOOKED THIS PROBLEM UP ON LINE AND ALOT OF PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED NISSAN THAN THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT THEY HAVE TOLD ME THE RECALL ON THE 2012 VERSA IS CLOSED. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR.
