    That coulc be a few things, do you have a manual or automatic transmission? It could be the trans, or brakes dragging.... if the engine revs that tell me something is slipping, like maybe the clutch or transmission.

    When you notice your engine revving, is it right when you feel the transmission shifting? Could be transmission problems. If an automatic, check the fluid level, and maybe have the transmission filter changed. Time to visit a mechanic too. If it's still under warranty, bring it to the dealer and ask them to test drive it and see the stalling, weird revving problems for themselves.

    You probably got one of the Mexico made engines. They are having alot of problems. I used to like Nissan till they went to Mexico.
