Need more info....Describe how it jerks. Did you check the plugs to ensure they arent damaged? Any codes ( while using a code reader)?

Arent you still under warranty? We just replaced the engine in my wife's versa under warranty @ 30K miles for excessive piston slap. Trust me they tried to get out of it stating they couldnt "duplicate" the problem. If your still under warranty a new short block should be covered.

I recently got a gift of the brand new Nissan VERSA from my parents. It is amazing and equipped with many latest and innovative features.

what does this have to do with the OP's original thread??

@OP, maybe it would be cheaper to sell the car either through private party or carmax and use that money you get towards another slightly new Versa or other Nissan
