Typical transmission symptoms owners report

  • Owners with the 5-speed manual report the car entering limp mode after stalling, capping engine RPM and limiting speed to as low as 5 mph even with the pedal floored.
  • Several owners describe sudden loss of power while driving, especially climbing hills, forcing them to downshift or slow to around 20-30 mph while surrounding traffic moved much faster.
  • Some drivers report the engine feels underpowered or delayed on throttle input, occasionally resolving only after turning the vehicle off and letting it sit.
  • One complaint cites a P2615 code tied to the loss of power, where the car could not exceed 40 mph on flat ground even at full throttle.
  • A dealer reportedly told one owner the limp-mode issue was a computer coding problem awaiting a fix from Nissan corporate, referencing NHTSA investigation PE 24007.
  • Repeated stalling combined with limp mode is described as happening within months of purchase, sometimes multiple times in a single week.
