There has been a problem found in some Versa sls with manual transmissions, relating to the cruise control system. It has been found that on hot days, this switch may move, and cause the hydraulic clutch to disengage prematurely. This problem can be dangerous if it occurs in a remote area or on a heavily trafficked road. This problem will severely compromise your vehicles ability to move, and your car may end up disabled or possibly with a burned out clutch if you ignore it. There seems to be a growing trend with clutch problems in Nissan Versa's ranging from mileage of 168 and up. Nissan fails to recognize the problem.

After stopping, car failed to accelerate even though the pedal was pushed all the way to the floor. This is a major safety issue and may cause serious bodily injury if not addressed immediately!!!!
