| There are two issues involved. engine stalling and trouble starting. the engine stalled at low speed on multiple occasions. there were no indicators, the engine just cut out in the middle of driving. when traveling at higher speed, engine would stutter (dash indicators would quickly come on and then disappear.) the other issue is trouble starting. sometimes when ignition switch is turned, it would not do anything. when it happens the only thing noticeable is the gear indicator shows blank (normally show 'p' for park). sometimes the starter would crank and engine would start but only run for 1-2 seconds before stalling again. when it happens, pressing down the gas pedal while turning ignition switch would normally resolve the problem. | |||

| 2010 nissan versa. consumer states unintended acceleration *tgw the consumer stated he experienced engine acceleration while his foot was on the brake. the consumer stated he shifted the gear to neutral and the engine ran at an unusually high rpm for about 10 seconds before returning to its normal 1000 rpm. the second time the incident happened, the consumer was attempting to merge with the traffic from a parallel parking spot and while holding the foot brake, he felt the engine straining until he shifted the gear to neutral which allowed the engine to accelerate briefly and then it returned to normal. finally, two weeks ago, when the consumer shifted from park to drive, the engine revved up and when he shifted back to neutral the rpm's rose to over 3,000 before settling back to normal. *jb | |||
