loss of power when using turn signal on highway changing lanes and making left or right turn on city streets. Once the signal is off I can accelerate. Left turn signal becomes more rapid as well. The Versa has a manual transmission. recurring issue for a month.
Has an issue with the mass flow air sensor. I had this car for 7 months with 84,000 miles on it and noticed instantly that it had poor mileage and stalled a lot. Check engine came on the first time and I took it to have a diagnostic test and a P101 code came on, a couple of days later the car wouldn't start. Replaced the mass flow air sensor and the car was driveable but it had the same poor gas mileage and stalling that it did the first time. Went out again within a week for the 2nd time. Got it replaced recently a third time and Im still having acceleration, poor gas mileage, and stalling. Car isn't safe to drive and does not pass the smog test .
Purchased New in January, 2019, with 10-20 miles on it. In February/March of 2020 it started lurching forward, giving rough idles. It would rumble, and you could hear the engine move around. This reported to Nissan dealership, the Tech. could not find code, simply reset computer. In 2021, I took it back to dealership of purchase, they could not diagnose any problems, they claimed to repair some component in rear break light area. The Service Advisor never sent the completed paperwork to my email. I asked for a copy on site, but he "had to review papers". The problems arised again in March/April of 2022. I asked same Service Advisor for a new transmission. The vehicle was still within 60,000 miles warranty He said he could not do it without code and Nissan Corp. Approval. Losing acceleration when left turn signal on, fear getting stuck in intersection. I was fed...
TRANSMISSION ISSUES , STALLING, RPM REVVING.
Car stalls, I’ve contacted Nissan regarding electrical issues with ignition how it’s not reading the ecu. Another things is the recalls that comes up.

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Versa. The contact stated while driving 32 MPH, the vehicle shut off without warning.

The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not under recall. The failure mileage was 34,707.
Unknown! Repeatedly spent thousands of dollars on repairs but car never fixes. Check engine light on every month and car stalls often.
THE VEHICLE WILL STOP AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE ALMOST ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. THEN WHEN TURNED OFF AND TRIED TURNING BACK ON THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER. THE PROBLEM AUTO REPAIR SHOP IS SAYING THAT THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE ENGINE.
I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN (ABOUT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY) AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. NO SIGNS THAT IT WAS GOING TO DO THIS, NO SPUDDERING OR ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. JUST SHUT OF. I HAVE READ ON FORUMS THAT OTHER NISSAN VERSA OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. SOME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I LIVE 64 MILES FROM MY JOB. ITS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME IF MY CAR DOES THAT WHILE I'M DRIVING.
SHAKING BRAKE PEDAL, DIFFICULTY SLOWING THE CAR DOWN WHILE DRIVING
WE HAD LEASED THIS VEHICLE FROM HERTZ EARLIER IN THE DAY. THAT EVENING, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL AND THE VEHICLE'S STEERING SYSTEM HAD SUDDENLY LOCKED UP. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER AND DROVE INTO A TREE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. MY PASSENGER AND I BOTH SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT BODILY INJURIES AND WERE TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE.
I WAS PERFORMING A MONTHLY INSPECTION UNDERNEATH MY 2018 NISSAN VERSA IN AUGUST 2018 TO INSURE THERE WAS NOT ANY VISIBLE LEAKS. UPON MY INSPECTION I OBSERVED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL LOCATED ON THE AREA WHERE THE ENGINE MEETS THE TRANSMISSION. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 8-30-2018. UPON THEIR INSPECTION THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED IT WAS "NORMAL" FOR THIS AREA TO SEEP / LEAK OIL EVEN ON NEW CARS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FURTHER STATED NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY UNLESS THE OIL WAS " HITTING THE GROUND" THE OIL WAS WIPED OFF AT THIS TIME. OVER THE COURSE OF THE FOLLOWING COUPLE OF WEEKS I CHECKED AREA SEVERAL TIMES AND OBSERVED OIL REAPPEARING. EACH TIME I WIPED THE OIL OFF , IT CONTINUES TO SEEP/ LEAK OR REAPPEAR A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER WIPING AREA. I...
MY CAR WILL TURN OFF COMPLETELY WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT IS VERY UNSAFE, I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S HAPPENING. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW.
