“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.”

NHTSA complaint #11601620, filed 2024-07

“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 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.”

NHTSA complaint #11574575, filed 2024-02

“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. …”
