I bought the car last year and it has only been about 13 months. About three months ago, i noticed that there was a kind of jerk when i would start off a stop light and accelerate. First thinking it was not a great deal, i kept going however i noticed it that it was becoming more constant. One day about to reverse out of a parking lot, i put the car in reverse, and the car turned off. There was no response at all…

My car is stalling on the highway and sometimes cuts off at a low speed. I took it to the nissan dealership and was told they do not see any issues due to the engine light not coming on. I think this is a safety hazzard being that the car could turn off at anytime on the highway. I'm really concern when my family (wife & kids are in the car. Please help!

On wednesday, july 15th 2014 i was leaving my community and there was a section on the way where water accumulates after it rains. During my drive out the community i needed to go through the puddle of water to continue my exit. As i passed through the puddle,the water rushed inside the car, on the driver's side under the steering wheel. It appears that the water rushed into the cabin through the steering column. *tr
