Last night I got the problem with my Nissan Versa 2013.
It's Automatic CVT transmission. I bought my car from HERZ with 10K miles on it, so it's still on the warranty.

Suddenly on the highway it lost a power, or in other words, seemed like it stuck on the high (4th) gear.
on Parking or Neutral when you press gas pedal, engine reacts and increases RPMs, makes noise, etc
But when on the Drive position, it barely moves, like if you try to start from 4th or 5th gear.

This morning I brought it to the Dealership, and they gave me the such a surprising conclusion: problem with tail light caused mis-functioning of transmission.
And the taillight was functioning well, not damaged. But they told, his electric resistance was wrong.

Very hard to believe, but after they replaced taillight with new one, everything started working.
Started googling, found your post.

Now I have another question: if such a little think as some bolb, wrong electric resistance of light can cause such a serious damage to the primary functionality of the car,
how can we initiate a recall of this model(s)?

On this forum I found similar problem, described here
