Owner report 11514801 · 2023-03-31 (March 31, 2023)
This manual car puts itself into limp mode any time the engine is killed (If you drop the clutch too quickly because it is a manual transmission) while driving it. Once it is in limp mode (restricted speed and power to protect the engine) it must be pulled over and turned off for at least 15 seconds before restarting the vehicle to reset the computer and get it out of limp mode. This is a huge safety hazard in traffic, on a hill, on a freeway on ramp or many other places. This car has put itself in limp mode when it died from dropping the clut…

Owner report 11521190 · 2023-05-09 (May 9, 2023)
I was driving and the car suddenly stopped by itself and I didn't have any obstacle in front of me. After that, I guess is the Parking Collision Warning light turned on, and I heard a beep with no reason.

Owner report 11549912 · 2023-10-14 (October 14, 2023)
I've owned this car less than a month and this has happened to me twice. I start to drive the car and experience a severe loss of power. The accelerator is pushed to the floor and the car barely moves. This happened when I was attempting to pass another vehicle. Could have had disastrous consequences. No indication on the dashboard that anything is wrong. If this happened while trying to merge onto a highway the results could be catastrophic.

Owner report 11557791 · 2023-11-30 (November 30, 2023)
On two separate occasions while driving at night two weeks apart, the car dash lights went out, power dropped real quickly, steering became hard. Barely got off overpass and road to safety. Turned the car off. Waited approximately 5 minutes and car restarted and was fine for two weeks. On second time had the car towed to Fred Haas Nissan. They could not reproduce problem and found no codes. Will have to chance driving until happens again. Very dangerous as I would have been hit if not for no traffic. In December 2022 had minor bumper coll…

Owner report 11580349 · 2024-04-01 (April 1, 2024)
Sometimes when the car stalls and is then restarted, the car goes into a limp mode. It is not safe because the driver has limited power. A dealership confirmed the problem. It gives code P2615 while running but the check engine light does not come on.

Owner report 11591203 · 2024-05-29 (May 29, 2024)
In 2023 from time to time if we accidnetly stalled out, the car went in to limp mode after we restarted it. We learned that if we took the key out and waited a couple minutes it would drive normally again. That change on [XXX] when I was in downtown Atlanta and it would not get out of limp mode for a long time. It was very scary and I had kids in the car with me. I was able to get it to the dealership that day but they said it was fine and insisted I had been in the wrong gear. I knew this was not the case so when it happened again [XXX] I t…
