2011 Nissan Versa
This year drew 268 complaints against a median of 188 across the Nissan Versa's other years, 1.4× that median. No single fault was reported unusually often, and it did not reach the 2.5× threshold this site flags at. It has 7 recalls, listed below.
Last year of its generation. This Nissan Versa ran from 2007 to 2011, so it had the whole run for its faults to be found and fixed. Last years are usually the most sorted of a generation.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Nissan Versa was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
