Problem overview

Some Nissan Versa owners report experiencing power loss and jerking issues attributed to failing coil packs. These problems can lead to engine misfires, resulting in noticeable jerking during acceleration. A malfunctioning ignition coil may fail to deliver the necessary voltage to the spark plug, causing it to misfire and preventing the proper ignition of the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber. This misfiring often presents as engine sputtering and inconsistent performance. Timely addressing of coil pack issues is essential to ensure a smooth driving experience and to avoid further engine damage. Owners are advised to have their coil packs inspected and replaced if necessary to restore optimal vehicle performance.
