Check engine light came on. Took car to auto shop and had them use the code reader. The code thrown was for cylinder 1 misfiring. Under further investigation it was found to the valve cover gasket needed replaced. After replacing the valve cover gasket the torque strut mount plugs and engine coils the car seemed to run fine. About 3 hours later the car started having trouble accelerating and the engine started to shake bad. And hour later while at a red light the car stalled out and wouldn't start again. Had to have the car towed. Noticed a good amount of oil leaked in the bottom of the engine.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 nissan versa. The contact stated that the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that an unknown module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Additionally, the contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 17v449000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called a local dealer (nissan of mobile, 1015 e interstate 65 service rd s, mobile, al 36606, (251) 476-7800) and was informed that the parts were not available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 154,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
Check engine light came on and turns out the evaporator had a crack in it so paid nissan $1,500 to replace it with a non-genuine evaporator part. Then about six months later the check engine light came on with had AC at speed 4 when driving at any speed. Told the blower motor was bad and needed replacing at the cost of $1,500 to do it. Refused the work and ran blower motor on A/C at speed 3 for about a month then after that seemed to work at speed 4 as well with no check engine light coming on. I thought it was probably the speed rheostat like happened to me on a ford I had cost of item $25 and did it myself. The rheostat must have been stuck and become unstuck and I would have paid for a repair that was not needed and been scammed.
When driving I can hear a chirping noise from the engine area; when accelerating sounds like coming from the front right hand possibly the tires; the breaks do not react on command; the shifter material on the automobile delaminated; button on seat belt came off; driver rear door coming apart; engine light is on; experienced problems with water intrusion from outside; engine and engine cooling, exterior lighting, noise from steering column, electrical problems radio not working; vehicle has not started at times; rear hatch would not open; the automobile's gas tank had to be replace; when I received a notice of the recall I went to nissan of bakersfield and asked about the recall for this automobile and they stated "we have nothing to do with that recall notice". We can not help you and they sent me home. The vehicle jerked while driving, the driver's window was inoperable, the gasket was replaced three times. Also,the battery had to be replaced. Updated 12/01/14.
There was no actual accident, but I am extremely concerned. On november 8th I was just starting on the highway, so not even at speed limit, when I felt that pressing on the accelerator it hesitated. I noticed it a few more times and then the service engine light came on. I took it to the dealership and they said to return a week later for the earliest service appointment, but that it was safe to drive. Once in for servicing, I was notified that it would need a new fuel pump because there was a leak. I spoke to another company and they said it seemed odd that for such a new car, it would need a new fuel pump. They also said that having my speed affected was very dangerous. My car is a little over 75,000 miles. I am unsure what to do in such a situation and feel that for safety reasons this should be investigated, especially having read of other such issues with nissan versas online.
