Sometimes stepping on the gas pedal does absolutely nothing. This has happened several times since owning the car. You can press the gas pedal all the way to the floor and it won't do anything at all. I took it in to have the Nissan dealership to look at it and they totally blow me off denied that anything was going on there was nothing wrong with the motor they said. You have to just let off the gas pedal and wait a few seconds and then it'll finally move the car when you press the gas pedal. This could cause a serious accident because when you press the gas pedal to go somewhere and it doesn't go anywhere I could leave you stranded sitting in the middle of the roadnot sure if it's this is related to the whatever's causing that problem but when the car is in drive and you're sitting at a red light the car vibrates really bad sometimes you can step on the brake let off of it and step back on it and rpms will go up but sometimes the rpms will drop down to below 600 that's when the engine starts vibrating real bad. I've tried to get the Nissan dealership to address the issue several times they ended up tell them it was an aftermarket motor mount it was not a Nissan part so I changed it for a genuine Nissan part they charge me over $600 and it did not fix the car it's still vibrated. When the car is in park just sitting in a parking lot somewhere the car runs perfect the rpms are fine and there's no vibration whatsoever but as soon as you put it into drive it starts vibrating. It has also almost went dead several times to over the last year I just started knocking, sputtering real bad and it almost goes dead and shuts the motor off. This has happened at red lights for pulling out of parking lots on city streets. It's almost gone dead just sitting at the red light when the car starts sputtering.

I was driving down the highway, in traffic, 30 - 35 mph, outside temp 88 degrees, ac was on, full gas tank, highway I-35 downtown dallas in the middle of rush hour, the car abruptly stopped while driving and turned off. The steering wheel did not respond, brakes did not respond, all warning lights came on, the car coasted to a stop. I put the car in park, waited 10 seconds, cranked, gassed it and it started back up. I took the car to O'riely's auto parts in cedar hill 30 min. Later to run a diagnostic test which came back that the battery, starter, alternator were functioning normally.

I was completely stopped about to pull out of a parking lot and as I turned onto a side road and got up to about 5-10 mph my car jerked twice and completely stopped and stalled and it wouldn't rev up or do anything. The lights and everything was on but the car wouldn't move. I had to completely turn the car off in the middle of the road and back on before it would go again.

On both city streets and highways. Accelerator will stick and or clutch is not properly engaging as specific vehicle has a manual transmission. Causing the vehicles RPM to go up higher then recommended.

While driving during the day (it was over 95 degrees), all of sudden all the warning lights came on, the brake pedal locked up, the gas pedal didn't work, and the power steering wasn't working. I was able to pull it over. I turned it off and on twice, and everything was working fine. I'm taking it to the dealer to be checked out (the next day).

I can feel all the gears changing while drive wether its on city or highway ( kind of feel like a sudden jerk in body). My engine oil is going bad at 3-4000 miles ( putting sythetic oil with gurantee 10-15000 mile). And if engine oil goes bad my car's pickup go less. It cant run over 15-20 mph.

My cars oil replacement sticker still shows 2000 miles more to run. And some mechanic said oil is all bad.after that I put an obd device in my car. And got some problem codes. Attaching image. Right now my car is in Nissan service center. And they didnt told me anything from last 3 days, that whats going on.

While stuck in stop and go traffic I took my foot of the brake and my car stalled. No warning was given and my power steering turned off. I was able to turn my car back on and pull to the side of the road. After waiting for a few minutes to make sure it wouldn't happen again I pulled back onto the freeway. Within a few feet when taking my foot off the brake my car stalled again. I was rear ended and had to pull over to the side of the road again. The temperature was 101 at the time. When speaking to Nissan I was told to use premium gas and only fill up half a tank and was sent away without them looking at my car.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Versa. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle shut off without warning. The vehicle was able to be restarted. The contact smelled a fuel odor and heard a loud knocking noise when the vehicle was placed in drive. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (autonation Nissan in las vegas, Nevada). The contact was informed that the manufacturer advised vehicle owners to switch to a higher grade of fuel when such failure was experienced. Another technician at the same dealer was unable to duplicate the failure, but reprogrammed the computer system. The contact stated that while driving home, the vehicle felt like it was in neutral. The vehicle was turned off and restarted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that nothing could be done to assist if the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 21,330. Updated 11/02/17

Delayed acceleration and delayed deceleration. Throttle always reacts half-second behind pedal movements, causing difficulty pulling out from a stop, and shifting gears, in car with manual transmission. This causes car to stall regularly when pulling out in first gear, risking traffic accident!this abuses the clutch and well make it where incorrectly and will require clutch replacement longer sooner then expected lifetime.
