I just got my car yesterday. I was leaving work and my car had no power. I couldn't get up to speed for a very long time, it was as if it was in limp mode. I got home and scanned it and got a P2615 code. upon doing research I have found several others having this problem. It is very scary and dangerous to drive this way. Also, cleared the code and it runs fine until the next time. This problem needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt or worse.

My car is equipped with a 5 speed manual transmission and I stalled on a hill and was alerted to a check engine light and reduced power.

I purchased a 2024 Nissan Versa S 5 Speed approx. two months ago. Upon driving the first week, the engine would rev high in between shifting (not rev hang) and made the vehicle almost impossible to drive smooth. I have been driving manuals for 34 years. I planned on taking the car to the dealer to check when I had time. Then by week two to four, a rattle developed under the shifter adn center console. Lastly, the car went into limp mode for no reason and with no check engine light. I turned the car off and on again. The problem went away. I took the vehicle to the dealer 2.5 weeks ago and haven't seen the car since. The head mechanic said the problem was a cam sensor and every time he fixed the problem, the car would do the same thing every morning. He also said Nissan was aware of this problem with the manual Versa, and the fix is to "wait". I since discovered I am not the only one and how dangerous this glitch it. Imagine trying to exit on the highway only to go into limp mode. I am scared to drive this car and will not put my family in this car now. I don't even have 3K on the odometer. They also can't find the cause of the loud rattling sound either.

Twice, when I have been backing up a hill I have stalled the vehicle. After each time I have re started the vehicle, but shortly realized that I could not accelerate past 40 mph. I can get the rpms up and shift through the gears but speed does not increase. There are no warning lights or anything on the dash. I was able to pull over and shut the vehicle off for around 15 minutes after which I started the vehicle and was able to drive normally. The service center at the dealership I purchased the car from said that no codes were found, and that they couldn't replicate the issue

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.

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

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.

Check engine light is on with only 300 miles. AC RPMs go up but it won't accelerate. Code P2615 - 00 Apparently this is happening to all manual Versas year 2023+ and Nissan refuses to do anything. Car can just die in traiffic

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.
