Owner report 11552341 · 2023-10-27 (October 27, 2023)
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.

Owner report 11562282 · 2023-12-28 (December 28, 2023)
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.

Owner report 11564381 · 2024-01-09 (January 9, 2024)
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 …

Owner report 11567588 · 2024-01-24 (January 24, 2024)
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.

Owner report 11569680 · 2024-02-03 (February 3, 2024)
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.

24V154000 · Air Bags:Frontal:Driver Side:Inflator Module
Reported: 2024-02-27 (February 27, 2024)
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2024 Titan, Frontier, Infiniti QX60, Pathfinder, 2023-2024 Sentra, Versa, Kicks, Infiniti QX50, and 2023 Rogue vehicles. Due to a manufacturing issue, the driver's air bag inflator may absorb moisture, and cause the air bag to deploy improperly.
Consequence: An air bag that deploys improperly may not protect the driver as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the front driver's air bag assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 10, 2024. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's numbers for this recall are PD103, PD104, and PMA34.
