ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

ENGINE
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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE
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

POWER TRAIN
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.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ENGINE
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

ENGINE
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.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.
