CarComplaints.com Notes: Be aware the 2007-2011 Nissan Versa was recalled in the US in May 2016 & July 2017 for defective Takata airbags that are potentially deadly. Many Versa owners have reported problems getting Nissan dealers to complete the recall repair, due to scheduling problems & parts shortages.
If you are considering purchasing a 2007-2011 Nissan Versa, call your local Nissan dealer with the VIN# & ask if the airbag recall has been done.
Happened when I first got the car with less then 100 miles on it. Chalked it up to new car quirk. Did not happen again until 1 1/2 yrs later. I made a sharp turn to the left, immediately after turning, engine died. Turned key to off position and the restarted car. No problems since but still nervous about driving since you just never know. Called dealer and talked with tech. Unknown problem to them. Unsure why it would happen. "Bring it in next time it happens"....
