2024 Nissan Versa complaints

Over 5 times since new (vehicle currently has ~6000 mils) the vehicle has went into a sort of reduced power limp mode while driving. Sometimes has occurred after stalling the engine (stick shift). When in this mode there are no warning lights; you can press on the gas pedal to 100% but does not fully perform as it should. I would estimate it's at around 25% power when having the issue. Seems the same as Investigation: PE24007 Proof of issue -> [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Intermittently the car will not accelerate when needed. It becomes excrutiatingly and terrifyingly slow. This is life-threating when coming into highway speed traffic from an exit ramp. On the highway, I've had cars slam on brakes behind me as I tried to accelerate from traffic lights. I saw no warning lamps.

My 2024 Nissan Versa has acceleration problems. In less than 24 hours of having the car, when driving and without warning, the power of the vehicle began to decline while I was driving in traffic. It didn't matter how hard I pressed the acceleration the car would continue to power down. This caused cars to honk and swerve to avoid crashing in the back of me. It took many pumps to the accelerator to get the car to power to the speed of traffic again. The car also powers down to nothing intermittently if I am stopped at a red light on in rush hour traffic. Again, I am having to press the accelerator numerous times to get the car to work and with that, there is a jerking feel to it. Also within 24 hours, a service symbol appeared on the dash while driving and then went away within 30mins of driving. I took the vehicle back to the Nissan Dealership I purchased it from and they claim they did not find anything wrong.

I was practicing manual transmission on my new Nissan Versa and when I stalled, that check engine light came on and I lost a LOT of power in all gears. In first gear, there’s also a whine that goes with it, and I don’t think that’s normal

Problem Description: Loss of acceleration in 5-speed manual S trim model. It seems that almost every time you stall this car, it will enter a "limp mode" or something like that, where your RPMs are capped for the rest of the drive, until you turn off the car and fully restart it. In this mode, even in 1st gear, you can go (from a stop) about 5 mph tops, if there is any incline. I am a new standard transmission driver, so stalling is at the moment not rare. This means my car enters this dangerous state often. 1. I am unsure what exact component(s) failed, or even if this is a fail rather than some intentional "safe" mode. 2. Because I live in the hill country, acceleration from a stop is almost nothing in this "limp" mode, which put me in a very dangerous situation. It caused me to crawl through an oncoming traffic lane as I was turning left into a turn lane, since I did not realize this mode had been activated. Had I been shooting a gap in traffic, I would have likely been hit at 70+ mph. 3. Not as of yet, but online research suggests this is not a new issue. 4. No. 5. No. This is a brand new car, and this limp state is not indicated by anything other than extreme loss of power until you reset the car.

Vehicle has 3000 miles on it - driving across country . Was driving on to on ramp to highway when vehicle stopped execeleraring. Would rev and rev. We were headed straight into a merge onto the highway and I told my husband to get off immediately.. we slowly got off the road to the side and kept trying . It would not go very fast but kept reving. We turned on and off . No warning lights on dash . Nothing . Tried again nothing called my son who works at a car dealership told us to turn off then remove key - did that and was able to get car to go back to normal. - we researched and transmission slipping is exactly what is described as what was happening. We are in a very dangerous situation . In the middle of nowhere 1000 miles from home. Bought this for my 16 year old son as a reliable car.. I can’t let him Drive this thing. Had we made it on the highway and this happened a minute later . Or my son Driving on the highway. This is unacceptable. Reading all the complaints and how long this has been an issue is sickening that I was able to purchase this car

I was at a stop light and it changed to green. I accidentally stalled the car. I had just picked up the car the day before and had driven manual for many years, but was getting used to the clutch. I immediately restarted the car and started in first gear. The car had lost a lot of power. I then discovered after trying to reach the speed limit of 50, the car was in limp mode. I pulled over and turned the car off for some time before restarting it. After the restart, the car engine power was back to normal. The car has about 120 miles on it and I am seeing many others have reported this issue for the same vehicle make, year, and model. This is very unsafe, especially if entering a highway. There were no lights on or indication advising the car was in limp mode during this event.

Today (XXX), After shifting my manual 5 speed transmission into first gear it stalled. I restarted my car then proceeded to drive on the highway in a severely reduced power mode "Limp Mode". I could not reach highway speed and this created a very unsafe condition with tractor trailers behind me. The power loss only allowed speeds up to about 45 MPH. Acceleration was very slow. I will contact my Nissan Dealership in Erie, PA tomorrow. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2024 Nissan Versa Model S Manual, 4700 miles. 2 times I stalled engine while entering on ramp to freeway. Restarted engine, engine then went into limp mode. Top speed about 20 miles per hour. I then drove to side of Freeway turn engine off and then restarted engine and it corrected problem. Took vehicle to Nissan Dealership wasn't aware the problem and unable to reproduce complaint.

If vehicle stalls (manual transmission), severe power loss is experienced. It appears that vehicle goes into limp mode if it stalls. Has happened on several occasions. This creates a dangerous situation as it is not possible to move quickly enough to merge, proceed through an intersection, or maintain an adequate speed on the highway.

This 2024 Nissan Versa is a manual transmission purchased new in March 2024. On (3) separate incidents, there was a loss of power after stalling the engine and restarting the vehicle. Incident 1 (5/27/24) - The hill assist failed to disengage causing the vehicle to stall. When I re-started and pulled into traffic, I was unable to gain speed. Downshifting did not solve the problem. The vehicle was operating on lower power and no matter what gear I put it in, it would not speed up. I was not able to reach highway speeds in a timely fashion. It took several minutes to get to the correct speed. (approx. 5-10 mins) Incident 2 (6/13/24) Stalled in a parking garage in 2nd gear. Once I restarted the engine, there was very little power. I was not able to gain speed to the speed limit. Incident 3 (6/26/24) Stalled on a hill again when the hill assist did not disengage fully. Once restarted, there was very little power and I was unable to gain speed. In all 3 incidents, pulling over, shutting off the vehicle, opening the door and closing and allowing the vehicle to rest reset solved the issue. Our safety was put at risk as we were unable to speed up to acceptable levels after stalling and pulling into traffic. Stalling the vehicle happens from time to time but it doesn't always result in loss of power after restart. No warning lights, no audibles occurred. Vehicle will be scheduled for safety check with Nissan. I suspect this might be an electronics/computer malfunction rather than mech

Lack of power in my manual 1 ,2 and 3 gears

This morning after a "cold start" to drive to work, I entered a primary road that takes me to the interstate. I noticed throttle input seemed "delayed". Once on the interstate while attempting to merge, the car had zero power. Full throttle in third, fourth and fifth gear allowed only 60mph. I drove about two miles to the next exit and made my way back home on secondary roads to my house. Once home, I scanned for DTC's with my scan tool. A P2615 was received, "Cam Position Signal Output Circuit Low" I cleared the code, started back on my drive to work, car performed as expected with no power loss. This is about a 40 mile drive. I have seen complaints of "power loss" after a stall. My cars symptom was after a cold start and no stall.

I purchased a 2024 Nissan Versa S 5 Speed approx. two months ago. Upon driving the first week, the engine would rev high in between shifting (not rev hang) and made the vehicle almost impossible to drive smooth. I have been driving manuals for 34 years. I planned on taking the car to the dealer to check when I had time. Then by week two to four, a rattle developed under the shifter adn center console. Lastly, the car went into limp mode for no reason and with no check engine light. I turned the car off and on again. The problem went away. I took the vehicle to the dealer 2.5 weeks ago and haven't seen the car since. The head mechanic said the problem was a cam sensor and every time he fixed the problem, the car would do the same thing every morning. He also said Nissan was aware of this problem with the manual Versa, and the fix is to "wait". I since discovered I am not the only one and how dangerous this glitch it. Imagine trying to exit on the highway only to go into limp mode. I am scared to drive this car and will not put my family in this car now. I don't even have 3K on the odometer. They also can't find the cause of the loud rattling sound either.

The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled and went into LIMP Mode. The contact pulled over to the shoulder of the roadway. The contact was turned off and restarted. In addition, the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle failed to respond as intended. The contact stated that the failure had occurred several times since the vehicle was purchased a week prior. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 429.

P2615 code: Lost of power. Car barely goes up hill on first gear with gas pedal all the way pressed. Won't go faster than 40 on flat road.

The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Versa. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle stalled and failed to exceed 30 MHP. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent but had occurred eight times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 1,700.

Engine code P2615 no power tun off in traffic pull out los power about got hit

Twice, when I have been backing up a hill I have stalled the vehicle. After each time I have re started the vehicle, but shortly realized that I could not accelerate past 40 mph. I can get the rpms up and shift through the gears but speed does not increase. There are no warning lights or anything on the dash. I was able to pull over and shut the vehicle off for around 15 minutes after which I started the vehicle and was able to drive normally. The service center at the dealership I purchased the car from said that no codes were found, and that they couldn't replicate the issue

Following an inadvertent engine stall on [XXX], the vehicle unexpectedly entered into an extremely low power state, sometimes referred to as "limp mode". I was unaware of the existence of this issue when I subsequently attempted to merge into traffic. Consequently, I was nearly rear ended by a tractor trailer. An internet search quickly revealed that there are numerous cases of other affected vehicles, all over the US. Additionally, the manufacturer is aware of the potentially deadly malfunction, yet is not inclined to offer any means of resolution according to drivers of other affected vehicles.

The car is not safe to drive. The car enters limp mode, restricting the acceleration and RPMs of the vehicle. Driving on the highway in speed zones of 50-65 MPH puts the driver and other motorists at risk because the car cannot accelerate normally. Driving on back roads in speed zones <50 puts the driver and other motorists at risk because the car lacks the power and speed to climb hills. There are also many blind curves on the back roads, adding another hazard. There is no indication that the car has entered limp mode--no warning lights or messages. The only way to know that you're in limp mode is to experience the symptoms. This mode cannot be reliably entered in any single way. The stalling of the engine seems to be related; however, the car does not enter limp mode after every stall and limp mode isn't always entered after a stall. I have experienced the mode on the highway and on back roads. The onset of the mode has happened from initial start up and while driving. Acceleration and the ability to climb hills is impeded whenever this mode is engaged. 3 out of 4 times that I experienced the car entering this mode were preceded by a stall. One of the stalls occurred when the backup sensor mistakenly detected an object and the car automatically braked. The other two stalls occurred after the clutch had already been released. 2 out of the 4 times that I experienced the car entering this mode, the car had driven for 20+ miles before entering limp mode, including at highway sp

The car went into limp home mode after it stalled. This is unsafe if I can't get up to speed on the highways because it puts me at risk of getting hit by other cars. I contacted the dealer about this, but they have not provided a fix yet. There were no warning lights, there was just reduced power. The only way to resume getting full power was to pull of the road to restart the engine.

Loss of power and unable to accelerate to speed once car stalls while in gear (manual)

Loss of Power, Car will not accelerate over 30mph. Car loss power 4 times.

I stalled the vehicle then noticed a little later that my acceleration was greatly reduced. I could not get up to 20 mph with my accelerator pedal all the way pressed while in 3rd gear.

The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Versa. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle was losing motive power. The contact stated that he depressed the accelerator pedal however, the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the loss of motive power was also felt while driving up an incline on the road. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The contact stated that after turning off and restarting the vehicle, the vehicle operated normally. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was diagnosed but was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 400.

Reduced power after engine stall.

As stated in other complaints to NHTSA, Versa with manual transmission will go into reduced power limp mode after stalling the engine or when prematurely releasing key when attempting to start the engine. The problem will clear (no longer be in reduced power mode) if car is turned off for several seconds or minutes then successfully restarted. Waiting several seconds or minutes to regain full power when stalled in an intersection is impractical thus dangerous. This reduced power issue has occurred numerous times.

My Nissan Versa 2024 began going into “limp mode” and the power is significantly reduced. The car barely accelerates and only on flat surfaces when this happens. The check engine light came on and I took it to the dealership and they changed the cam shaft sensor they believed to be the problem, however, when I drove it off the lot the power was still reduced and not what it is normally like. I took the car back and they told me it was unnecessary to drive it and it wouldn’t help them they know what’s going on. However, a few days later they decided to test drive it when it was working properly and they stated no problems with the vehicle. Nissan was contacted through the dealership and it was explained to me that the car is glitching and sending an unnecessary code causing the problem, but there is actually nothing wrong with the car and there’s nothing they can do. I drove the car in limp mode on the way home and it was dangerous merging on the highway going 35mph until it can pick up speed going down hill. Lack of acceleration and power pose a safety hazard for me and the people driving around me. This has all happened with a brand new car under 1000miles. The car does not go into limp mode every drive, but has been more often.

On multiple occasions, the vehicle will randomly stall while in motion. Most recently, this occurred while I was on the on/off ramp of one major highway merging onto another highway; in the process of down shifting from fifth gear to third gear, the car stalled, while in motion, causing a complete loss in power steering and braking. I was able to restart the vehicle without incident, however, had I needed to suddenly maneuver or brake I would have been unsuccessful in either of these actions. This has happened more than once, there appears to be no rhyme or reason to this happening, which makes the situation far more variable as there is no way to anticipate or predict its occurrence. On one of these occasions, upon restarting of the vehicle there was a marked decrease in power output from the engine. This made accelerating to driving speeds take far longer than usual, which was an interesting situation as I was pulling into traffic when this occurred. This issue persisted for quite some time, in fact it took the restarting of the engine several times, including a few failed starts, before the proper power returned to the engine.

Car lost power after stalling and turning it back on

Vehicle felt underpowered and wouldn’t accelerate only would rev up. Problem went away after turning vehicle off and letting it sit for a bit. Shouldn’t be happening on a 2024 vehicle i got with 0 miles.

Sometimes whenever I first start the car or stall the car and restart it a false code is triggered that significantly reduces the power of the car. The car will not go much faster than 40 in this mode and accelerates extremely slow. Turning the car off and waiting for a minute before starting it has fixed this problem for me so far. I have seen other people online with this car reporting this same issue and it really is a safety issue when the car accelerates that slow. The vehicle has not been tested by anyone other than me. There are no other warning lights or problems prior to the incident.

If the manual transmission is stalled, after restarting the engine, it has a lack of power. The vehicle feels like it is in limp mode and won't go past 25 or 30 mph. I was nearly rear ended by a couple of different vehicles, or nearly hit when pulling out into an intersection with reduced power to the engine. This has happened 3 times. Nissan dealer could not duplicate.

I bought my car on February 12th and it is now February 28th. The car has basically lost all power 3 times now, after I stalled the car 3 times. This is very dangerous as if I’m in a lot of traffic and going too slow, that can cause accidents.

Turning on my vehicle I had extreme loss of power. I will be taking it to the dealer tomorrow. It would not accelerate past 55 miles per hour when the gas petal was pushed all the way to the floor. When I pulled over and turned the car off the vehicle ran fine with Normal power. This is a brand new vehicle with 1000 miles on it. I got it with 3 miles on it

This vehicle has so many issues. If stalled, there is very limited power and cannot reach speeds up to 60mph and/or maintain speed while cruising on the highway. Restarting the car is the only way to remedy the issue. The vehicle's halogen headlights dim while cruising and brighten sustainably upon acceleration, which tells me the headlights dim dangerously low for night driving - HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!! The heater motor also dims while cruising and will also come to full blast during acceleration. I have taken this to Nissan of America, to which DTS deemed the vehicle is operating as designed. The design does not meet safety road standards. They have refused to repair the vehicle or get it to meet safety stands.

I took delivery 1/2/24 with 70 mi. on the odometer. At 90 mi. I stalled the engine while getting used to the hill assist feature. Upon restart, the engine was detuned to low power output and as I tried to merge onto the interstate, the car struggled to get to 50 mph. I exited the interstate and went to dinner while researching the issue. Upon restart, the vehicle drove normally. A month later, at 2654 mi. the engine stalled at a stop sign while I was wearing oversize work boots and fumbling the clutch on a grade. Upon restart, the car went into reduced power mode again and was very slow to accelerate. I pulled over and restarted the car to no avail. It still suffered reduced power. I pulled over at a food mart and looked under the hood and took a 20 minute break to call the Nissan dealership to set an appointment for service. I found that through research this is a common problem to 2022-2024 Versa with key ignition and manual transmission. No MIL light was displayed to indicate any problem, yet the vehicle was in reduced power mode. Upon restart, the car went back to normal power levels. There was once an instance where the engine cranked and did not start on the first attempt and drove sluggishly across the parking lot to the gas pump. After fill up, the car drove normally. I believe this was related. Nissan seems unaware of the issue, but I will let them know upon my visit on 2/15/24.

I am uncertain exactly which vehicle component is causing the issue, but my headlights dim very low and the heat decreases while driving and when I accelerate both the headlights brighten and the heater returns to full blast. Nissan has categorized this as a "normal characteristic" of the vehicle after comparing it with to other exact models, which is the new 2024 Nissan Versa Manual S. They refuse to fix the headlights safety issue, even after I was able to show the tech by duplicating the problem a few times.

For some reason my car won’t accelerate. Went to Nissan twice and they can’t do anything about it. I was on second gear almost stalling out on a slight hill and no acceleration on third gear that one time I was merging onto the highway.

The car stalled, after powering back on the car had very little acceleration power and struggled getting up to speed.

This is on a brand new Versa less than 20 miles and had been replicated a few more times over the course of 200 miles. If the car stalls because the clutch was engaged too soon, the engine will entire limp mode and will cut the power in half. THis severely limits highway speeds to 60 mph. It should be known what limp mode is so I shall save myself anymore explanation. It sometimes shows a check engine light. It will go away if the car rests or is restarted a few times. Not always immediately and the owners manual states that it will come on intermittently for certain things. I have not been able to take it to the dealer to looked at. It only happens when you stall so as long as you don’t, problem solved I guess. Problem is I’m trying to tutor my spouse in a manual and it’s not making it easy if there is no forgiveness. It’s made a miserable ride home as well when I had to travel like a grandma whilst the world passed me at violent speeds. Please Fix!

This is a 5-speed manual transmission. When the car is stalled, upon restarting, the vehicle's power is significantly reduced. It becomes very dangerous to start from a stop, which is particularly concerning, as I bought this car for my 16-year old daughter.

Check engine light is on with only 300 miles. AC RPMs go up but it won't accelerate. Code P2615 - 00 Apparently this is happening to all manual Versas year 2023+ and Nissan refuses to do anything. Car can just die in traiffic

Power loss P2615

This vehicle came with a 5-speed manual transmission. I am still learning how to drive a stick shift well, and on my way home from the dealer there were several instances of me stalling the engine due to letting the clutch out too fast. In several of these cases, when I restarted the engine, it acted almost as if it were in limp mode, or if the clutch was slipping badly.
