Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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”
NHTSA complaint #11574591, filed 2024-02“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11552341, filed 2023-10“While driving down the highway, the vehicle significantly lost power while going up a hill, so much so that I had to downshift into 2nd gear in order to maintain and not lose speed. This is incredibly dangerous as I was only able to climb the hill at about 20 mph while the flow over traffic was 55 mph.”
NHTSA complaint #11632417, filed 2024-12“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”
NHTSA complaint #11607827, filed 2024-08“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.”
