| Description of the problem | While driving home from work the car shuttered and cut off after having stopped for a light. This happened when i press the exhilarator to continue on. I put the car in park applied my foot to the break and restarted the car. Every time i would drive to put the car in gear it would cut off. It kept doing this over and over. Local police came and with the help of a good samaritan pushed my car off the road to a safe place. I had to have my car towed to the dealer where they were unable to duplicate the problem and said that the diagnostic computer test did not show any codes for the problem. They ended up updating the transmission module and said they hoped this would fix the problem. The problem continues to occur and i have had to avoid stopping at lights due to the car wanting to cut off. This seems to be a problem that other nissan car owners are also facing. This is a very dangerous situation to be in due to the fact that you never know when you will be stranded in the middle of a street whether it be interstate stop and go traffic or normal city street traffic. Once the car stalls it's no way to start it and put it in gear to drive without it stalling again and again. Nissan owners need a recall |
