2014 Nissan Versa Note complaints

BROUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM A USED CAR DEALER IN LILBURN, GA FOR MY COLLEGE AGE DAUGHTER TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL/WORK. WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN SOUTH IN MORROW, GA FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION, THAT IT WOULD COST $3861.00 PLUS TAX. I'M NOW FINDING THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ON THESE CARS ARE CRAP! AND NISSAN USA CORP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. NISSAN OPENED A CASE FOR THE CAR, WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM JOSHUA W/NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE CAR (EVEN THOUGH THE MILEAGE IS UNDER 100K). WHY IS NISSAN ABLE TO PROFIT OFF OF CONSUMERS WHILE SELLING A KNOWINGLY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT? WHY HASN'T THE NHTSA STOPPED NISSAN FROM SELLING THIS VEHICLE? I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN, EVER!!!!

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DISABLED LIGHT INADVERTENTLY REMAINED LIT, & THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON INDICATING THE CAR'S AIRBAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED COMPLETELY. CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON SECONDARY ROADS WHEN CONDITION OCCURRED.

POWER TRAIN FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING AT PROPER SAFE POSTED SPEED LIMITS ON THE FREEWAY AND CITY STREETS AND ROADS, WHICH RESULTED IN IMPROPER UPSHIFTING AFTER COMPLETE STOPS AND HARD UPSHIFT SLAMMING TYPE IMPACT ON POWER TRAIN UPON TAKE OFF, AS WELL AS GRINDING TYPE NOISES COMING FROM BENEATH THE ENGINE, INCLUDING EXCESSIVE VIBRATION COMING UP THROUGH SHIFT COLUMN, THIS OCCURRED ON 9/14/2019 ON OUR 2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE, PER THE INFORMATION WHICH WE HAVE OBTAINED, THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE OF THIS MODEL AFTER MILEAGE RANGING FROM 50,00 TO 80,000 MILES OF SERVICE, AND IS A COSTLY REPAIR, AND FEEL THE AUTO MAKER WAS AWARE OF THIS POWER TRAIN LIFE SPAN FAILURE, WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED INTO A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE FOR VEHICLE OWNERS OR OPERATORS WITHOUT A SAFE ROUTE OF ESCAPE FROM POSSIBLE TRAFFIC COLLISION'S, THAT WOULD HAVE RESULTED FROM LOSS OF POWER DURING HEAVY FREEWAY OR CROSS TRAFFIC, AND BEING SUCH A SMALL VEHICLE IN SUCH A SITUATION, THE INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE WOULD BE GREAT, BUT THE AUTO MAKER NEGLECTED TO, AND MADE NO EFFORT TO INFORM US OR THE PUBLIC OF SUCH ISSUES, AND DELIBERATELY MADE THIS A DISPOSABLE VEHICLE TO ENCOURAGE FINANCIAL LOSSES TO VEHICLE OWNERS AND INCREASE AUTO SALES. I FOR ONE HAVE BEEN SATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE TILL NOW, BEING IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED SINCE IT'S PURCHASE IN 2015, BY A REPUTABLE CERTIFIED AUTO MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR SHOP, I ALSO FEEL THAT BEING THE AUTO MAKER IS FAMILIAR WITH THIS DEFECT AND THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAIN

FIRST TIME VEHICLE HAD JUST STARTED AND STEERING AND BRAKES WERE LOCKED. CAR WAS SHUT DOWN AND STARTED AGAIN AND IT WAS OK. THE SECOND TIME VEHICLE WAS PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY INTO STREET AND BRAKES AND STEERING LOCKED UP. EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE USED. MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVES VEHICLE AND I DRIVE ON FREEWAY TO WORK. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY OR ANYWHERE IN TRAFFIC SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT. THIS MODEL IS KNOWN FOR FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS BUT NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED. I AM TAKING IT TO DEALER METRO NISSAN REDLANDS, CA. ON 8/24/19.

FIRS TIME THAT I MOVE MY REAR BACK SEATS TO THE FRONT TO MAKE IT FLAT AND WHEN I PUT MY SIT BELT WAS BEHIND I TRY TO PULL THE LOCK TO MOVE THE SEAT AND IS NOR WORKING DOESN'T UNLOCK. NOW MY SEATBELT IS STOCKED IN THE BACK FOREVER... AND AFTER MY 3 YEAR MY CAR STARED MAKING THIS CLICKING NOISE WHEN I PARK LIKE THE BOTTOM PART STOPS FIRST AND THE THE BODY IS ANNOYING HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS THATS WHY I CHOSE TO BUY A NEW CAR BUT THE STRUGGLE OS THE SAME. WRONG CAR WRONG CHOICE.

MY VEHICLE IS AT 95,000 MILES, AND THE RPM HAS BEGUN FLUCTUATING WHEN IT SHOULDNT BE. AT IDLE POWER, IT TENDS TO STAY AROUND 1,500-1,800 RPM WHEN IT SHOULD BE BETWEEN 700-1,300 RPM. ON THE ROAD, AND ON THE HIGHWAY, THE RPM BOUNCES ERRATICALLY, AND THE AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSMISSION SHIFTS CONSIDERABLY HARD BETWEEN GEARS WHEN MY SPEED DRIFTS BETWEEN 25-45 MPH AND SOMETIMES NEAR HIGHWAY SPEED. HARDER THAN IT USED TO. I HAVE TO APPLY EXTRA BRAKING TO STOP MY CAR WHEN AT STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR PARKING. TURNING DOES FINE, THOUGH THE ENGINE DRIVES HARDER THAN IT SHOULD DUE TO THE HIGHER RPMS. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING UP WHAT CAUSES THIS, AND EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING SAYS MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS SHOULDN'T BE FAILING BEFORE 100,000 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO LOADS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN NISSANS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS. AND I BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATIOM BY THE NHTSA IS WARRANTED. AS WELL AS A RECALL BY NISSAN TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT HAS APPARANTLY BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW YEARS.

TAKATA INFLATORS. NOT REALLY SURE IF IT'S CORRECTLY DONE. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I STARTED SMELLING BURNING WIRES. AFTER SMELLING THAT, THE AIR-CONDITIONING/FAN STOPPED BLOWING. NO HEAT, NO AIR-CONDITIONING, NO FAN, NO DEFROST. I PULLED INTO A HAD STATION AND CUT EVERYTHING OFF AND SEEN SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. I POPPED THE HOOD AND SEEN ABOUT WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM AND SEEN THAT THERE WERE WIRES INFACT THAT WERE BURNT.

IT HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING. IT GOES UP TO ALMOST 6 RPM'S BEFORE IT SHIFTS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS NORMAL. YOU CAN CALL ME AT [XXX] MY NAME IS [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL KEY WON'T TURN TO START ENGINE. STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED. CAR WAS PARKED AT GAS PUMP. PUMPED GAS. THEN KEY WOULDN'T TURN. I WIGGLED AND WIGGLED AND JERK ON STEERING. FINALLY IT STARTED. THEN IT DID IT AGAIN LATER THAT NIGHT. ON SUNDAY I TRIED IT AGAIN. KEY WILL NOT TURN TO START. STEERING IS LOCKED. PARKED

CAR WAS STUDDERING. GRADUALLY GOT WORSE .WOULD HESITATE WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP DONT KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN T- BONED. NOW TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY BLOWN. PAID 12K FOR A CAR SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I DONT HAVE A FEW GRAND LAYING AROUND

MY CARE WAS SHUTTERING AND NOT SHIFTING UP AND DOWN AS SHOULD. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND PAUSE AT TAKE OFF. COULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY OR SAFELY TO GET ON HIGH WAYS OR ON NORMAL ROADS. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT SEEMS TO WANT TO SHUT OFF AT TIMES AND PAUSES WHEN ACCELERATING THE GAS PEDAL. VERY DANGEROUS AND THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT GOOD. I TOOK IT TO DEALER JANUARY 2018 AND IT WAS REPROGRAMMED BUT IT WENT RIGHT BACK TO DOING THE SAME, SLIPPING,SHUTTERING SHAKING,PAUSING DURRING ACCELERATING, ON HIGHWAY, DURING TURNS AND GOING FROM COMPLETE STOP, AND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS. TOOK BACK TO DEALER HAD DIAGNOSED AND ITS SAID TO NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO FIX THEIR DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSION.. THE CAR HAS HAD IT'S NORMAL SERVICES.

TRANSMISIN IS FAILING. I REPORT FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH CARMAX, THEY STATE TO MAKE A REPORT SINCE SUPPOSEDLY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED.

THE TRANSMISSION DOES WANT TO CHANGE FROM FIST TO SECOND , VERY HIGH RPMS AND I HAVE TOO LET OFF THE GAS AND IT CHANGES BUT NOT VERY SMOOTH

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON PARKWAY IT STARTED LOSING POWER. AS I WAS DRIVING, THE ENGINE WOULD REV BUT IT WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED. THEN AS I WAS DRIVING UP THE HILL TO MY HOUSE THE CAR STOPPED MOVING, BUT IT WAS STILL ON. NOW THE CAR JERKS AS UR DRIVING AND WILL NOT PICK UP SPEED.

WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN ON BUSY STREET THE TRANSMISSION STARTED NOT CHANGING AND WAS WIZZING WOULD NOT PICKUP SPEED THEN IT JUST STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC

THE DESIGN OF THE WINDSHIELD TO THE DOORS IS HAZARDOUS AS IT LIMITS VISIBILITY. ALSO THE BACK IS LIMITED AS WELL. I WAS BROADSIDED OR SIDESWIPED AND IT WAS NOT MY FAULT YET THE WAY THEY WROTE THE REPORT PUT ME AT FAULT.

NISSAN VERSA NOTE 2014 49000 MILES ON 12/31/2018, TRANSMISSION IS FAILING, CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE CORRECTLY, I WENT TO NISSAN A MONTH AFTER WARRENTY EXPIRED AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN TRANSMISSION SLIPS. HIGHWAY AND RESIDENTIAL DRIVING.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH BLINKS, NO RECALL IS SHOWING FOR MY VEHICLE VIN. AIRBAG HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. DISPLAYS REGARDLESS OF SPEED. HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR MONTHS (NEARLY A YEAR AS BEST I CAN RECALL), THIS IS THE FIRST I BECAME AWARE OF A METHOD TO REPORT.

THIS VEHICLE WENT FROM 60 MPH TO LESS THAN 30 WITH THE RPMS OVER 5000 ON THE ROBERT F KENNEDY BRIDGE. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FAST THINKING PERSON BEHIND HER THIS WOULD'VE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO GO OVER 30 WITH THE RPMS OVER 5000 ALL THE WAY TO LONG ISLAND. TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND IT IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION SHE NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION HER VEHICLE IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD THAT SHE HAS HAD IT SHE BOUGHT IT WITH 51,000 MILES ON IT IT NOW HAS 75,100 MILES ON IT THE DEALER WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BAD TRANSMISSION THEY WANT US TO PAY OVER $2000 TO FIX. THEY WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX IT AND LESS WE COME UP WITH $2000 THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND THERE'S CVT TRANSMISSIONS CAN YOU HELP THE CAR IS STILL SITTING AT NISSAN BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY NOR WOULD WE EXPECTING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH THIS LARGE SUM

THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT FOR MY COLLEGE-AGED DAUGHTER TO DRIVE TO WORK AND SCHOOL. SHE WAS STRANDED IN NORTH CAROLINA WHEN THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE REVVED HIGH AND THE CAR "JUST DIED." I MANAGED TO GET IT BACK TO TENNESSEE AND DROVE IT MYSELF. WHILE TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC, THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. IF IT HAD BEEN A BUSY TIME OF DAY, THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC FOR MY FAMILY. I HAD MY MECHANIC OF 30 YEARS LOOK AT THE CAR, HE SAYS IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. "MIGHT CAN DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE BUT I WOULDN'T LET YOUR DAUGHTER GET IN IT." THIS CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION??? PLUS IT IS A DEATH TRAP FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO IS A YOUNG DRIVER? I NEED SOME ADVICE FOR THIS PLEASE.

CAR HAS A LITTLE LESS THAN 35000 MILES. THE CAR HAS TERRIBLE PROBLEMS ENGAGING ANY GEAR. TRANSMISSION IS WASTED. I WAS GOING TO CAMBRIA FROM ORANGE COUNTY. I FELT THE CAR A LITTLE WEIRD ARRIVING IN CAMBRIA, BUT IT STILL RUINED. AS I WAS COMING TO ORANGE COUNTY, THE CAR ABANDONED ME IN THE FREEWAY. I HAD TO TAKE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVE THROUGH STREETS TO MY HOUSE. CAR IS BROKEN.

THIS CAR HAS ONLY 34,000 MILES ON IT AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS COME AND IS FLASHING CONSTANTLY ... GIVEN THE MILEAGE OF THE CAR I WAS SHOCKED AND AMAZED THAT I WOULD BE HAVING A PROBLEM. OTHER PROBLEM I'VE HAD IS THAT IT HAS STALED OUT A COUPLE OF TIMES FOR NOT REASON AT ALL WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO THE ROAD.

I GOT MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM MY PARENTS IN 2015. MY PARENTS DID LOTS OF RESEARCH AND WAS ENSURED THAT IT WAS A SAFE AND RELIABLE CAR FOR A FIRST TIME DRIVER. UNFORTUNATELY THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME MANY TIME CONSUMING PROBLEMS. I DRIVE A LOT TO COMMUTE TO MY WORK. I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH NASTY EXHAUST SMELLS, SLIPPING GEARS, DELAYED SHIFTING, BREAKS DELAYED AND GRINDING, AND RPM"S SHOOTING UP WHEN BARELY GASSES. MY COMMUTE IS QUITE DANGEROUS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND LOADS OF SEMIS PASSING ONE ANOTHER. IT REALLY WORRIES ME AND MAKES MY FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WHEN I'VE BEEN HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS I REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE WITH THIS NEW OF A CAR. BAKERSFIELD NISSAN HAD MY CAR TRYING TO FIX IT FOR A WEEK AND A HALF REALLY PUTTING A MONKEY WRENCH WITH MY COMMUTE TO WORK. THEY EVENTUALLY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND CV BOOT. NOW I AM HAVING NEW PROBLEMS AND LOTS OF GRINDING AND RATTLING. THEY TOLD ME MY CAR FAILED TO REPLICATE ANYTHING BUT THE RPM"S SHOOTING UP. IT REALLY FRUSTRATES ME KNOWING THIS CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS FAILING LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING CAN'T DRIVE CAR OVER 55 MPH TRANSMISSION OIL LEAKS SLIPPING AND JERKING THE RPM OF THE ENGINE CAN FLUCTUATE A LOT WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN ACCELERATING.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM TUGGING AND MISFIRING UNTIL CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE ,INSTANTLY COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A 75 MILE AN HOUR FREEWAY RISKING MY LIFE AND THOSE OF OTHERS ON THE HWY. NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!!!! THERE ARE SEVERAL TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS FOR THIS CAR EVERYWHERE ONLINE!

DRIVING CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND LOST THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED. HAD TO PULL ALONGSIDE ROAD. HAD CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION FAILED.

HAD TO REPLACE REAR HUB SPINDLE , WAS DEFECTIVE THOUGHT IT WAS A BRAKE PROBLEM. BROUGHT IT TO NISSAN A FEW TIMES THEY REPLACE BRAKES. ONE DAY IT WAS MAKING A LOT OF NOISE. HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN FINALLY FIGURED OUT IT WAS DEFECTIVE HUB SPINDLE ASSEMBLY. COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT!

INTERMITTANT SHUDDER, VIBRATION WHEN ACCELERATING. VEHICLE HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT; THIS STARTED PROBABLY AT ABOUT 37,000 MILES, WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. BOUGHT IT NEW FALL 2013. HAVE MENTIONED IT TO KRENZEN MOTORS IN DULUTH, MN. THEY HAVE TEST DRIVEN IT BUT HAVE NOT FELT THE SHUDDER. HAVE TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AT LEAST TWICE WHEN I'VE HAD THE CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGES. THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY IS 60,000 MILES OR 5 YEARS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. I'VE REALLY LIKED THE CAR AND HAVE HAD ONLY A FEW OTHER MINOR PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL UNSURE ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR, ESPECIALLY OUT OF TOWN. MY SON HAD A SIMILAR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH HIS 2010 NISSAN INCLUDING LACK OF ACCELERATION. THEY TRADED THE CAR RIGHT AWAY.

TAKATA RECALL POSSIBLE - AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHES OFF AND ON OFTEN MORE NOTICEABLE OVER THE LAST 1-2 MONTHS

TAKATA RECALL ON AIR BAGS AND BRAKES PAD

"TAKATA RECALL", DUE TO UNAWARENESS OF FUTURE ISSUES SINCE ALL "VIN" NUMBERS HAVE NOT BEEN INPUT INTO THE RECALL SYSTEM THAT MAY GO PASS THE DEADLINE PLUS BRAKE ISSUES(SCRUBBING AS I DRIVE/REGULAR BRAKING,"I DON'T RIDE THE BRAKE" EVER BUT I DRIVE DAILY WHETHER ON DRY/CLEAR ROAD TO WET ROADS LESS THAN 1 MONTH POST PURCHASE HAVING ONLY 28,300 MILES ON IT AT PURCHASE & STILL, CONTINUES TODAY, AFTER HAVING IT CHECKED) FOR MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA THAT I'VE PURCHASED LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO, TODAY, I'M SEVERELY CONCERNED DUE TO INFO MENTIONED ON WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV, WHICH I WAS INSTRUCTED VIA US MAIL TO SEEK DETAILED INFO ON THE TAKATA RECALL & OTHER ISSUES PLUS THE SAFETY OF MY DAUGHTERS & I! THE WEBSITE SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT ALL "VIN" NUMBERS RECALLED HAVE NOT YET BEEN INPUT & MAY PRESENT ISSUES IN THE FUTURE EVEN IF NOT ON CURRENT RECALL LIST, THEREFORE I NEED THESE ISSUES RESOLVED ASAP!

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY CAR MAY HAVE A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. I'M NOT ABLE TO LOCATE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SITUATION ON YOUR WEBSITE EVEN THOUGH I PUT MY VIN NUMBER IN TO HAVE MY VEHICLE SEARCHED IN YOUR DATA BASE. PLEASE NOTIFY ME IN REGARD TO THIS PROBLEM.

MAY 11,2017 I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. WHILE SITTING BEHIND A VAN AT A LIGHT. WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN, A CAR HIT ME HARD FROM BEHIND. I HIT THE FAN IN FRONT OF ME BUCKLING HOOD & THE FRONT GRILL WERE TORN TO PIECES. MY AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF AT ALL.I WAS RUSH TO THE HOSPITAL WITH TAILBONE, BACK PROBLEMS. RIGHT TODAY I'M STILL HAVING BACK PROBLEMS. GOING BACK & FORWARD TO DOCTORS RIGHT TODAY. YES PLEASE, I WONDER WHY MY AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF.

WHEN YOUR HAND IS RESTING ON THE STICK SHIFT,AND YOU ACCELERATE.THE SHIFTER MOVES BACK AND FORTH.I HAVE OWNED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ALL MY LIFE THIS DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT.IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME.TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG ,IT IS A CVT TRANS.IT FEELS LOOSE TO ME

FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY WHILE RUNNING, SECOND TIME I WAS PARKED, BUT WHEN I TRY TO BACK UP IT SHOT DOWN THIRD TIME WAS RUNNING. NISSAN WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME THEY PRACTICALLY SAID YOUR ON YOUR ON, AND I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THAT CAR, IT'S JUST A TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE THE VICTIM

TO MY UNDERSTANDING, MY CAR HAS BEEN OVERHEATING AND THE FIRST TIME IT OVERHEATED IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD NO COOLANT. THEN, THE SAME NIGHT, I BOUGHT SOME COOLANT AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT THE NEAREST AUTO ZONE. COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THOUGH, THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF AGAIN. LUCKILY, EACH TIME WAS ON THE STREET SO I CAN FLASH MY EMERGENCY SIGNAL. HOWEVER, I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS RECENT NEWS UPDATE AND ENSURE MY SAFETY.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN JANUARY OF 2014. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE. THE WHOLE MUFFLER SYSTEM FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON BACK NEEDS REPLACED. THAT INCLUDES THE RESONATOR AND THE MUFFLER AND THE PIPES. WHY? IT LASTED ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS WITH 51,000 MILES ON IT? THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I PAID CASH FOR THE CAR AND HAVE NO EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHAT KIND OF GARBAGE PARTS ARE THEY USING. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND I KNOW WE GET ROAD SALT PROBLEMS BUT NOT IN 3 1/2 YEARS. HOW THIN IS THE METAL THEY USED? THERE IS NOT EVEN AN AFTERMARKET PART TO REPLACE THESE PARTS. WHAT A RIP OFF.

SEE FIRST ATTACHED PDF DIAGRAM FOR DESCRIPTION. THE SECOND ATTACHMENT SHOWS REPORT OF THE SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION BY A CARMAX MECHANIC. THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO BE INTERMITTENT AND NOT REPRODUCIBLE AT WILL. I SOLD THIS CAR BACK TO CARMAX 42 DAYS AFTER ITS PURCHASE, SUSTAINING A $2260 LOSS. MOST OF THE LOSS WAS DUE TO A SECOND ACCIDENT THAT OCCURRED ON 6/10/2016 THAT MAY ALSO HAVE BEEN BRAKE/TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (SEE THIRD AND FOURTH ATTACHMENTS).

SIMILAR TO RECALL 16V244000. AIR BAG LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH EITHER AN ADULT OR A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL IN THE SEAT. FIRST HAPPENED LAST YEAR, DEALER CHECKED AND RESET THE SENSOR AS A "CUSTOMER COURTESY" SO THERE IS NO PAPER TRAIL. HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE ON VACATION. TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHO AGAIN RESET THE SEAT SENSOR ON 04/19/2017. ISSUE REOCCURRED TODAY, 04/26/2017. SOMETIMES JUST THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON OR OFF. OTHER TIMES, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ON THE DASH WILL ALSO ILLUMINATE. IT CAN OCCUR WHILE STATIONARY, BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, WHILE ON NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS, INTERMEDIATE ROADS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. WE'VE PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR, NO CHANGE IN BEHAVIOR. IT HASN'T BEEN INTO THE DEALER YET FOR TODAY'S ISSUE, BUT THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS TWO TIMES. THREE TIMES IN ONE YEAR WOULD INDICATE A FLAW IN A COMPONENT OR SYSTEM TO ME.

FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED VERY EASILY. STARTED FROM BOTTOM OF PASSENGER SIDE AND WHILE PARKED I SAY THE CRACKS SPREADING UP.

FUEL OR EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR. UNKNOWN OF ORIGIN AFTER MULTIPLE TESTS AT DEALERSHIP. OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS IDLING AND IN MOTION.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY PASSENGER AIRBAGS LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF. IT'S NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT. ALSO WHILE DRIVING MY CAR MAKE NOSE LIKE IT A MOTORCYCLE GET LOUDER WHEN I ACCELERATE. I HAD MY CAR FOR 6 MONTHS NOW. *TR

NHTSA RECALL 15V-507. I'VE CALLED NALLEY NISSAN HERE IN ATLANTA SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED AND THEY REFUSE TO CALL ME BACK. THEY ARE THE CLOSEST PLACE NEAR MY WORK TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED AND I AM UNSURE WHAT TO DO NOW.

CONNECTIONS IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CRACK AND YOU MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM INCLUDING THE PIPE AND THE MUFFLER. IN ADDITION, THE PIPE FROM THE CRACK FORWARD IS ALSO BEGINNING TO CRACK. THIS WAS MADE WITH DEFECTIVE METAL, AS A VEHICLE WITH 43,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THIS PIPE AND MUFFLER, BECAUSE NISSAN MADE IT AS ONE PIECE. THIS ENDS UP TO BE A $400+ JOB WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN SERVICE FOR MANY MORE MILES. THIS MUFFLER AND PIPE MUST BE ORDERED FROM NISSAN BECAUSE THERE ARE NO AFTERMARKET ALTERNATIVES. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON LINE.

I HAVE HAD THREE PROBLEMS WITH MY REAR TIRES. YES THE FIRST TIME IT HAD A PIECE OF METAL FOUND BY THE DEALER IN A TIRE.#2 I HAD A FLAT AGAIN IN THE OTHER REAR TIRE "NO PROBLEM" FOUND BY THE DEALER.#3 ANOTHER FLAT TIRE FOUND IN THE SAME TIRE WHERE DEALER FOUND "NO" PROBLEM? I CHANGED THE TIRE "GREEN" TIRE TOP BY MYSELF HOPEFULLY NO FOURTH FLAT TIRE??

SINCE ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO, I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF MY VERSA NOTE. FIRST I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN BECAUSE OF A BIG HUGE NOISE. THEY GAVE ME INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TO DO FOR AVOIDING THE NOISE WHEN CHANGING FROM PARKING TO DRIVE. SINCE THAT MOMENT I'VE BEEN DOING WHAT THEY ASKED ME TO, BUT SOMETIMES IT MAKES THE NOISE. NOW SINCE ABOUT THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, THE CAR IS MAKING A DIFFERENT NOISE LIKE IF IT IS GOING TO TURN OFF WHEN I USE THE BRAKE. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT STARTED MAKING A NOISE WHEN IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, LOOSE POWER, AND ALMOST TURN OFF. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY CHANGED THE AIR FILTER, AND THEY CLEANED SOMETHING ELSE. BUT THE CAR STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I USE THE BRAKE TO LET A PEDESTRIAN CROSS THE STREET, SOMETIMES AT A RED LIGHT, LAST MONDAY TO LET A PERSON GET OFF THE CAR; IT START MAKING A NOISE AND SHAKING LIKE TURNING OFF. I'M SURE THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION, BUT NISSAN DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION AND NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE BOLT FOR THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE WAS MISSING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. ...UPDATED 07/19/16 *BF CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. UPDATED 6/19/18*JB

CVT STARTED SLIPPING AS SEEN BY TACHOMETER JUMPING UP AND HEARING THE ENGINE REV UP AS I WENT UP A SMALL HILL (MUCH LIKE IF I HAD A CLUTCH TO PUSH IN ON A REGULAR TRANSMISSION) LATER THAT DAY ON THE WAY HOME ON THE INTERSTATE ON LEVEL ROAD DID THE SAME THING. PULLING UP A SMALL HILL AS I PROCEED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GIVING IT GAS TO GET UP THAT HILL, CVT MADE A VERY LOUD 'THUMP' (LIKE I POPPED THE CLUTCH). CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE NOW. CAR HAS ONLY 51,000 MILES ON IT.

I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND AS I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE LEFT TURN LANE, THE ENGINE CUT OFF COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO ASK A GROUP OF PEOPLE TO HELP PUSH MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO START AGAIN. I WAS NERVOUS TO DRIVE ON THE EXPRESSWAY TO GET HOME AS THIS COULD POSE AS A SERIOUS THREAT TO SAFETY.

THE AIR BAD DID NOT DEPLOYED IN TIME THERE WAS FEW SECOND DELAY WHICH CAUSED MY DAUGHTER TO HIT HER HEAD ON STEERING WHEEL AND THEN WENT OFF. ALSO THE BREAKS SHE HAD DELAYED TIMING TO HIT THE BREAK LIKE HER FOOT WAS STUCK OR SOMETHING WHICH DELAYED STOPPING.
