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.

Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
Front windshield wipers stall for 20 seconds and wiper controller does not fix it. Manual 1x wipe will not turn off when in use and will sometimes cause wipers to stall. Intermittent use is not functional due to constant stalling. Car has to be completely turned off for 2 minutes at least for it to reset and stop the motor. This problem gets worse when it's cold outside.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan versa. While the contact was driving home, the air conditioner stopped functioning and a burning electrical odor was present. After arriving home, the vehicle stalled without warning and failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the air conditioner compressor and belt failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact called an unknown nissan dealer and was informed to schedule an appointment. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 94,000.
When accelerator pedal does not always get car moving. There is hesitation. At a stop, put pressure on accelerator pedal, car doesn't move, but then will engage after a some seconds, and jump forward. I've been at a stop either stop sign or red light and if on a hill, will roll backwards because I cannot get any acceleration in car. When driving on highway, will sometimes stall out, but will then pick up acceleration.
There are two issues involved. Engine stalling and trouble starting. The engine stalled at low speed on multiple occasions. There were no indicators, the engine just cut out in the middle of driving. When traveling at higher speed, engine would stutter (dash indicators would quickly come on and then disappear.) the other issue is trouble starting. Sometimes when ignition switch is turned, it would not do anything. When it happens the only thing noticeable is the gear indicator shows blank (normally show 'p' for park). Sometimes the starter would crank and engine would start but only run for 1-2 seconds before stalling again. When it happens, pressing down the gas pedal while turning ignition switch would normally resolve the problem.
