2014 Nissan Versa Note complaints

SPONTANEOUS CRACK IN WINDSHIELD FROM BOTTOM EDGE ON PASSENGER SIDE. CAR WAS SITTING, NOT RUNNING. I WAS IN THE CAR DOING WORK RELATED PAPERWORK WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I HEARD A NOISE, LOOKED UP AND SAW A CRACK APPEAR AND SPREAD UPWARD.

SUBJECT: PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ACTIVATION SENSOR COMMENTS: I HAVE A NISSAN VERSA NOTE 2014. WHEN MY WIFE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (SHE WEIGHTS 104 LBS) THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON, INDICATION THAT THE AIR BAG IS NOT ACTIVATED. THE DEALER SAYS THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED THAT WAY TO PROTECT CHILDREN, AND THAT THE WEIGHT SENSOR FOR THE LIGHT IS SET AT ABOUT 150 LBS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL STANDARDS. CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE TRUE?? I MAINTAIN THAT THIS IS A PRODUCT DESIGN DEFECT IF THE SAFETY OF A SMALL (CIRCA 100 LBS) ADULT IS NOT PROTECTED.

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND ENGINE CUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE. PUT CAR IN PARK, AND TRY TO RESTART BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING TRAFFIC. MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. I LET CAR SIT FOR 30 MINUTES AND CAR FINALLY RESTARTED. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP ON 7/6/15 AND THEY ADJUSTED THE IDLE BUT COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. ON 8/8/15, I WAS LEAVING A STORE AND STARTED TO YIELD TO TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR ON 8/11/15 TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE ECM, BUT DID NOT SAY THAT WOULD PERMANENTLY FIX THE ISSUE. I'M AN EXTREMELY CONCERNED CONSUMER AS I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL POST ONLINE FROM CONSUMERS FOR THIS VERY ISSUE, AND I DON'T FEEL NISSAN HAS DONE THEIR PART TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. BEING THAT THE CAR SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WITH OUT FOREWARNING, I'M CONCERNED SHOULD THIS SHUT DOWN OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED A FATALITY COULD OCCUR.

PARKED MY CAR, AS I WAS WALKING AROUND TO THE PASSENGER SIDE HEARD A "CLICK" NOISE AND MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED. NOTHING HIT MY WINDSHIELD, IT JUST CRACKED. THE CRACK IS LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FROM THE LOWER CORNER AND GOES UP ALL THE WAY TO THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD.

I LIVE IN ARIZONA. I HAD COME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT IN SOME HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS GETTING READY TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. AT THE POINT OF MAKING THE RIGHT TURN THE CAR DIED. I COULD NOT COMPLETE THE TURN. BASICALLY I STARTED TO HEAD INTO OTHER CARS THAT WERE MAKING A LEFT TURN WHICH WAS PERPENDICULAR TO MY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANY CARS AND AT THE SAME TIME WAS LUCKY NOT TO BE HIT BY ANY CARS. THE CAR ENDED UP IN THAT LEFT TURN LANE. WHEN THE CAR STOPPED I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN WAITED A MINUTE OR TWO AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AGAIN. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WHICH WAS A 1/2 MILE AWAY. IT WAS ABOUT 105 DEGREES OUTSIDE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR THIS TYPE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE. I THINK ONE OF THE SERVICE BULLETINS MENTIONS EXACTLY WHAT I WENT THROUGH. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE ONE OR MORE PEOPLE WILL GET HURT OR DIE. I NEVER HAVE HAD ANY ISSUE REALLY OF ANY TYPE WITH THIS VEHICLE BEFORE. ALL THE MAINTENANCE WORK THAT IS NEEDED HAS BEEN DONE ON TIME. THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY. I DID NOTICE PROBABLY 30 MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING THAT THE CAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. I KEPT THINKING I DIDN'T HAVE THE CAR IN THE CORRECT GEAR BUT I DID. THE CAR DURING THAT TIME SEEMED SLUGGISH.

REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AT 30 MPH CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF VEHICLE, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

MAYBE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT HIGHLY IRRITATING. IN WINTER, NO MATTER HOW COLD, THE VEHICLE TAKES WAY TOO LONG TO HEAT UP FOR WARM CABIN AIR. I LIVE 7 MILES FROM WORK, BUT IT STILL TAKES ALMOST 20 MINUTES TO GET THERE. I AM NOT GETTING WARM ENOUGH AIR UNTIL IM ALMOST AT WORK. IT MATTERS NOT HOW LONG I LET IT IDLE. ON VERY COLD DAYS, I DONT GET DEFROSTER HEAT AND I HAVE INTERIOR FROST ALL THE TIME. AFTER READING VERSA FORUMS ONLINE, IM LED TO BELLIEVE ITS ALL BECAUSE THE CAR HAS TWO THERMOSTATS AND AN OIL COOLER. IN CONTRAST, MY WIFES NEW 3 CYLINDER MITSUBISHI MIRAGE IS WARM IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES. DEALER SAYS ITS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR. HAD I KNOWN THIS BEFORE HAND I PROBABLY WOULDNT HAVE BOUGHT IT.

AS I WAS SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT MY BRAKES BEGAN TO PULSATE. THEY DID NOT MAKE ANY STRANGE NOISES. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE PEDAL RELEASED SLIGHTLY AND I BEGAN TO ROLL SLOWLY FORWARD, SO I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKES AND STOPPED. THIS WAS A NEW CAR AT THE TIME SO I THOUGHT PERHAPS I JUST DIDN'T HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE HARD ENOUGH, ALTHOUGH I KNEW THE PULSATING WAS NOT NORMAL. EVER SINCE THIS INCIDENT THE PULSATING BRAKES AS I'M SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES RELEASING WHILE I'M AT A STOP HAPPENS OFTEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN I RUN THE AIR CONDITIONER. I NOTICE THAT WHEN I'M AT A STOP AND THE AIR CONDITIONER KICKS ON, THE BRAKES WILL OFTEN RELEASE AND I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN HARDER TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING FORWARD. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND I KNOW THE INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS ISSUES HAS BEEN CLOSED, BUT I'M TELLING YOU, SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE BRAKES IN THIS CAR.

WHEN STARTING UP FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE 18000 MILES I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE NEW. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. WHEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER, HE DIDN'T SEEM CONCERNED BUT TOLD ME I COULD LEAVE IT FOR A FEW DAYS TO TRY AND MAKE IT HAPPEN. WITH NO OFFER OF A LOANER, I COULD NOT BE WITHOUT THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM AND WILL RETURN TO THE DEALER AND DEMAND A FULL EVALUATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE INFREQUENCY OF THE PROBLEM MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY ANY LESS SERIOUS.

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN VERSA NOTE ON 05/14/2014 I TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN IN OCALA FLORIDA. COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKES. NOW THEY ARE 10 TIMES WORSE, THE CENTER CONSOLE DOES NOT WORK,THE PAINT IS PEALING,AND THE PAINT ON BUMPER IS CRACKING. I WAS SIDESWIPED ON AUGUST 2014 AND THE BRAKES ALMOST CAUSED US HARM, I SWERVED OFF THE ROAD JUST IN TIME. I COULD NOT COME TO A SHORT STOP,DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT HOLDING THE ONCOMING CAR CAME OFF THE ROAD AND SIDE SWIPED MY CAR. AND THEN WENT BACK ON THE ROAD TO HIT 2 MOTORCYCLES HEADON. THAD CAR CAME OVER INTO MY SIDE OF THE ROAD,AND WAS COMING AT ME HEAD ON.THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. I AM GLAD I KEPT MY COOL AND SWERVED TO THE RIGHT ENDING OFF THE ROAD. IF NOT I WOULD BE DEAD RT NOW. ALSO I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE. I TOOK IT TO BE CHECKED AT A TIRE SHOP IN TEMPLE TEXAS.THE TIRE ASSISTANT SHOWED ME MY TIRE, BELIEVE IT? I HAVE A HARD TIME! THERE WAS A PLUG IN MY BRAND NEW TIRE. ON A BRAND NEW CAR PURCHASED FROM A NISSAN DEALER! THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. I HAVE TO GIGGLE AND GIGGLE THE CELL PHONE CHARGING UNIT TO GET THE PHONE TO CHARGE.IN BOTH INSERTS.THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY ALL THE TIME.......SOMETIMES ON A FULL TANK IT SHOWS 200 MILES AND OTHER TIMES IT SHOWS 369 MILES.......THE PAINT BUBBLED UP AND IS PEALING. I AM SURE THERE IS MOST LIKELY OTHER ISSUES.

FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STOPPED ACTIVATING WHEN THERE WAS AN ADULT IN THE SEAT. THE LIGHT DISPLAYS SHOWING IT'S DISABLED AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY FLASHING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONTROL PANEL. NOT SURE IF TIMING WAS COINCIDENCE OR NOT, BUT THIS STARTED HAPPENING IMMEDIATELY AFTER I PLACED A 12-PACK OF SODA ON THE SEAT FOR A FEW BLOCK DRIVE HOME FROM THE STORE. IT DISABLED THE AIR BAG WHILE THE 12-PACK WAS ON THE SEAT, AND THEN IT NEVER RE-ENGAGED FOR AN ADULT IN THE SEAT. REPAIR APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED WITH THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT A STAND STILL AND WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED, PUSHING MY DAUGHTERS CAR INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER. HER CAR HAS BEEN CLAIMED AS A TOTAL LOSS. SHE STRUCK HER FACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL RESULTING IN A BLACK EYE AND CLOSED HEAD INJURY. HER AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED ANYWHERE IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

THIS CAR TAKES FOREVER TO WARM UP IN WINTER. I DON'T LET IT SIT AND IDLE, I DRIVE SLOWLY FOR A WHILE. IT TAKES ME 20 MINUTES TO GET TO WORK AND JUST STARTING TO WARM UP THEN. IS THIS BECAUSE IT HAS TWO THERMOSTATS AND AN OIL COOLER? ITS AN ANNOYANCE. I EVEN LEAVE HEATER OFF TILL TEMP GAUGE HAS 6 BARS AND THAT ONLY MINIMALLY SOLVES THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING OUT A COUNTRY ROAD, I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL. WHEN I MADE AN ATTEMPT TO STOP, I HAD NO BRAKES WHAT SO EVER. I COULD SEE THAT THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC COMING FROM EITHER DIRECTION SO I MADE AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE TURN ON TO THE ROADWAY BUT HAD NO STEERING EITHER. WITH NO WAY TO CONTROL THE CAR I ENDED UP GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN, ACROSS THE ROAD, THROUGH A TREE STUMP AND INTO THE SIDE OF AN ABANDONED HOUSE. WITH THE IMPACT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT COME OUT EVEN WITH AN IMPACT GREAT ENOUGH TO CAUSE SUSPENSION DAMAGE ALONG WITH OTHER MAJOR BODY AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WITH THIS VEHICLE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT COME OUT, THE FIRST IS WHEN MY HUSBAND HIT A DEER HEAD ON AT 55MPH AND AIR BAG SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THEM BEING TRIGGERED. ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE, I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE MAKING A LOW SPEED TURN BUT CAR QUICKLY RECOVERED. THE DASH AND RADIO HAS FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES ON AND OFF AND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT HAS NO POWER AND SHUTTERS BEFORE FINALLY PICKING UP SPEED. THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND WOULD SEND US ON OUR WAY AND WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE NON AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT THEY JUST STATED THAT SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS, WELL NOW IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. *TR

2014 VERSA NOTE SV BOUGHT NEW, FOUND RUST ON THE 3RD DAY OF PURCHASE IN 12+ AREAS UNDERNEATH INCLUDING SUB-FRAME AND VARIOUS COMPONENTS. COMPLAINED AND REQUESTED REPLACEMENT WITH A RUST FREE CAR. NISSAN WON'T REPLACE OR REFUND DESPITE EXTENSIVE CORRESPONDENCE, EMAILS, PHONE CALLS, VISITS TO THE DEALER, FURNISHING DATE STAMPED PICTURES OF RUST AREAS. NISSAN IS DRAGGING ITS FEET WITH FEEBLE EXCUSES - ' NO EXCESSIVE RUST FOUND' "RUST IS NOT AFFECTING SAFETY OF THE CAR' 'RUST NOT AFFECTING PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR' - WHICH IS WHY THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT. UPON TELLING THEM THAT THE DUE TO RUST, THE RESALE VALUE OF CAR IS SEVERELY DIMINISHED TO JUNK CAR VALUE - THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SAY. FILED COMPLAINTS WITH AUTHORITIES INCLUDING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BUT THEY ARE SLOW TO PROCESS SO NOTHING HAS COME OF IT SO FAR AND NISSAN WON'T STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCTS. BBB AUTOLINE HAS SIDED WITH NISSAN AND THEY JUST PISSED ON THE LEMON LAW DOING THAT - DESPITE PROVIDING SCORES OF DATE STAMPED PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE RUST AREAS. NISSAN IS NOT GIVING ME A CHARITY CAR, NOR IT IS A USED CAR THAT THEY HAVE SOLD ME. I HAVE PAID FULL PRICE WITH HIGH INTEREST FOR 6 YEARS THAT I AM GOING TO BE PAYING AND I DESERVE A RUST FREE CAR WITHOUT DEFECTS BUT NISSAN DOES NOT SEEM TO AGREE TO THAT. PEOPLE, PLEASE THINK A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE BUYING A NISSAN. A COMPANY THAT IS TRYING TO GET AWAY USING EVERY LAME EXCUSE. I AM AFRAID THAT NISSAN MAY HAVE SOLD A LARGE NUMBER OF CARS TO BUYERS, WITH RUST SIMPLY BECAUSE THE A

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR PEDAL, A PLASTIC PIECE HURT HIS TOE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000. ...UPDATED 03-23-15 *BF UPDATED 6/19/2015 *JS

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE BACK FROM LAS VEGAS BACK TO CALIFORNIA ON 9/1/14. ALL ACCESSORIES ON A/C RADIO DURING THE DRIVE BACK STARTED TO HIT TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. SO I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND WHILE SITTING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC MOVING AT ABOUT 30-35 MPH, VEHICLE STARTED TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS MISFIRING STARTED TO SHUDDER AS I BEGAN TO TAKE OFF FROM A STOP CRUISING UP TO 35MPH THE VEHICLE THEN COMPLETELY DIE'S AND SHUTS OFF SO I THROW ON THE HAZARDS AND COAST OFF TO THE SHOULDER AT THIS POINT STILL IN DRIVE NO POWER STEERING THOUGH. SO I SIT AND WAIT ON THE SHOULDER AGAIN START THE CAR UP AND STARTED TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY BUT THE VEHICLE STILL FELT LIKE IT WAS HESITATING WHILE MOVING AT SLOW SPEED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BUT ONCE THE TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING AND I GOT UP TO NORMAL 60-65MPH THE VEHICLE FELT NORMAL AGAIN... NOT SURE IF THE HEAT FROM DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT WAS GETTING TO THE CAR BUT IT ONLY SEEM TO DO IT AT LOW SPEEDS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. BUT HONESTLY WHEN IT DID OCCUR IT WAS UNSETTLING NONETHELESS BEING IN TRAFFIC AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF AND HAVING NO POWER STEERING TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY. CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF IT HAPPENED AT A HIGHER SPEED OR TAKING A CORNER IT COULD HAVE BAD CONSEQUENCES THE CAR IS BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND HONESTLY AFTER THIS ONE INCIDENT I KINDA HAVE MY DOUBTS ALREADY ON RELIABILITY BEING A BRAND NEW CAR ON LONG TRIPS. IT SHOULDN'T EXHIBIT ANY ISSUES LIKE THIS HOPEFULLY NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE CAUSE I PLAN TO TAKE

WHILE USING THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR (A/C, DEFROSTER) THE CAR WHILE AT A STOP, OR WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS UNDER 10 M.P.H. WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO SURGE FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. I CAN HAVE MY FOOT FIRMLY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN, AND CAN FEEL THE VEHICLE STRUGGLING TO MOVE FORWARD AGAINST ME. ANYONE WITH SIZE 10 SHOE AND ABOVE (MEN) FOOT BECOMES TRAPPED IN ACCELERATOR AREA. CRUISE CONTROL CONSTANTLY FAILS TO HOLD PROPER SPEEDS, AND VARIES FROM 10 MPH + OR - ABOVE INTENDED SPEED WHILE ON A FLAT NON INCLINE SURFACE. *TR

CAR SURGES FORWARD AFTER STOPPING. ITS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION HAS JUMPED FORWARD. IF YOUR FOOT ISN'T FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE, IT COULD HIT A CAR IN FRONT. IT DOES IT ALMOST ALL THE TIME. WINDSHIELD WASHERS AIM VERY LOW, WITH NO ADJUSTMENT TO RAISE THEM UP. *TR

MAKING NOISE WHEN STOPPING. *TR

SHIFT HARD FROM PARK. *TR

WHILE AT A STOP THE BRAKE PEDDLE STILLS SINKS LOWER TO FLOOR. BRAKES MAKING NOISE. *TR

2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE WITH 9501 MILES AT TIME OF LAST INCIDENT. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS THE CAR SHIFTS ROUGH AT LOW SPEEDS (10 MPH) TO MEDIUM SPEEDS (45 MPH). WHILE THE CAR IS SHIFTING ROUGH THE RPMS OF THE ENGINE MAINTAINS A NORMAL FLUX IN RPM BUT NOTHING DRASTIC LIKE AN ENGINE THAT IS STRUGGLING TO STAY RUNNING. ONCE THE CAR COMES OUT OF THE ROUGH SHIFTING THEN THE CAR QUICKLY STALLS. WHEN THE CAR STALLS IT DOES NOT SPIT AND SPUTTER LIKE A CAR HAVING PROBLEMS RUNNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN THE 9501 MILE THAT WE HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 45 MPH WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND WHILE MOVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT ABOUT 10 MPH BACK TO BACK WITHIN A MIN OF EACH STALLING AT ABOUT 10 MPH. THE OWNERS MANUAL SAYS TO USE AT LEAST 87 AKI AND THE LOWEST RATING IN OUR STATE IS 87. WE HAVE ALWAYS USED AT LEAST THE LOW GRADE AND AT TIMES USED MID-GRADE 89. NISSAN DEALERSHIP ONLY SUGGESTION IS TO USE PREMIUM GAS. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLE DOES NOT REACH THE WINDSHIELD AT HIGH SPEEDS (30MPH+). THEY ONLY WORK GOOD WHEN STOPPED. THIS IS MY SECOND 2014 VERSA NOTE AND I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST ONE BUT NOT QUITE AS BAD AS THE NEWER ONE. I TALKED TO THE MAN AT THE DEALER AND HE SAID THAT IS THE WAY THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THEM TO SPRAY HIGHER. I PUT SMALL METAL WASHERS UNDER THE FRONT OF THE SPRAYER NOZZLES ON THE FIRST ONE BUT THAT IS NOT WORKING FOR THE NEW ONE. I TRIED TWO WASHERS BUT THAT JUST LIFTS THE NOZZLE ASSEMBLY OUT OF THE HOUSING AND THE WASHERS FALL OUT. I DRIVE ABOUT 1000 MILES PER WEEK AND THIS IS A REAL ANNOYANCE AND A HAZARD IF I CAN'T GET THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR. I HAVE TO BE SURE TO CLEAR THEM AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A 3 LANE ROAD FOR WHICH THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55MPH ON A HOT SUMMER NEVADA DAY (103 DEGREES) THE VERSA SUDDENLY FELT AS IF IT WAS DRAGGING AND BEGAN TO LOOSE SPEED. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STOPPED MOVING EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS. I CHECKED THE FUEL LEVEL WHICH STILL HAD A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF , CHECKED TO SEE IF THE GEAR WAS ON NEUTRAL BUT IT WAS ON DRIVE, I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD AND THE BRAKE LIGHT AND PS ICON WERE ON. I CHECKED FOR THE EMERGENCY BREAK TO SEE IT WAS ENGAGED BUT IT WAS NOT. THE A/C WAS BLASTING, THE RADIO WAS ON, THE ENGINE SOUNDED ACTIVE BUT CAR WAS NOT MOVING. I TURNED OFF EVERYTHING, UNPLUGGED MY IPOD AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. I THEN TURNED THE CAR ON AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT ANOTHER 3 MILES TO THE SAFETY OF MY HOME. I WAS ADVISED BY THE SALES PERSON I DEALT WITH TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. THE SERVICE TECH WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE AND MADE ME TAKE THE CAR BACK. I TOLD THE DEALER I WANT TO RETURN THE CAR, OF COURSE IT'S AN ISSUE BECAUSE THE 3 DAY PERIOD TO RETURN THE CAR WAS ALREADY PASSED. I OPENED A CASE WITH THE NISSAN HQ , THEY ARE CLAIMING IT HAS TO DO WITH THE GAS I PUT IN THE CAR AND THE EXTREME TEMPERATURES IN NEVADA. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS REP TOLD ME HE HEARD OF SIMILAR CASES AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY WHEN COSTUMER CHANGED THE GRADE OF GAS USED . THIS SOUNDS LIKE BOLOGNA TO ME. THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT, BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I

WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE BRAKING, THE CAR IS STILL TRYING TO PUSH 'GAS'. THE CAR WILL FEEL LIKE IT IS MAKING LITTLE 'JERKS'. IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERYTIME, BUT ENOUGH TO NOTICE AND MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE. WHEN STOPPED OR PARKED, I ALSO HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR 'SHIFTS OR MOVES EASILY AND I AM NOW IN THE HABIT OF APPLYING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE EVERYTIME I LEAVE THE CAR. *TR

MY VEHICLE, UNLESS I'M AN EXERTING MORE PRESSURE THAN NECESSARY ON THE BRAKES, WILL LURCH FORWARD WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER FAN KICKS ON. IF I'M NOT CONSCIOUSLY PAYING ATTENTION TO PRESSING HARD ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR WILL START TO DRIFT FORWARD EVEN AT A STANDSTILL. THE BRAKES DO NOT BRAKE SMOOTHLY. IT IS NOT A GRADUAL SMOOTH STOP, IT FEELS LIKE SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES WITH EVERY STOP. *TR

THE CVT WILL SHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR WHILE STOPPED WITH CONSTANT BRAKE PRESSURE. 3 TO 10 SECONDS AFTER A COMPLETE STOP. THIS "LOWER SHIFTING" CAUSES THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE DRIVER SHOULD THE DRIVER THINK HE/SHE IS STOPPED AND PERFORMING OTHER NORMAL TASKS (I.E SETTING NAVIGATION OR RADIO,) THIS HAS THE POSSIBILITY OF CAUSING VEHICLE DAMAGE OR PEDESTRIAN INJURY; WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE DRIVER. I CAN EASILY MAKE A VIDEO OF THIS PROBLEM AVAILABLE. *TR

CRACK ACROSS WINDSHIELD FROM PASSENGER LOWER SIDE ACROSS TOWARDS REAR VIEW MIRROR. OVER TIME CRACK HAS SPREAD IN A CURVE UP AND DOWN. REPORTED THE CRACK AND WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN UNAVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT DUE TO A HOLD BY NISSAN. NO APPARENT REASON, OTHER THAN COLD TEMP. *TR

THIS WAS JUST A RENTAL VEHICLE, BUT THIS PROBLEM WAS SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT I FEEL IT NECESSARY TO REPORT. THERE IS A RECESSED WELL ABOVE THE ACCELERATOR THAT TRAPS YOUR FOOT. SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, I WOULD ATTEMPT TO PIVOT MY FOOT ON ITS HEEL OFF THE ACCELERATOR OVER TO THE BRAKE, ONLY TO FIND MY FOOT TRAPPED IN THE RECESSED SPACE ABOVE THE ACCELERATOR. I WOULD THEN HAVE TO RELAX MY FOOT AND PULL IT BACK IN ORDER TO RELEASE MY FOOT AND MOVE OVER TO THE BRAKE. THIS DELAYED BRAKING TIME SEVERAL TIMES UNLESS I WAS CONSCIOUSLY PAYING ATTENTION TO AVOID GETTING MY FOOT TRAPPED. I WEAR A SIZE 12.5 SHOE, BUT THAT'S NOT INORDINATELY LARGE. *TR

WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE SKIPS AS IF ITS GOING TO CUTOFF. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT IT SHUTS DOWN. THIS BEGAN ON MON., 24 FEB 2014 IT CONTINUES TODAY WED., 26 FEB 2014. THE VEHICLE HAD A FULL TANK TO 1/2 TANK OF GAS WHEN THIS BEGAN. I DRIVE 51 MILES TO WORK ONEWAY AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THERE'S TRAFFIC. *TR

PULLING AWAY FROM A TOLL BOOTH ON I-80, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TOWED TO DEALER AT OWNER'S EXPENSE, PULLED TRAN CODES P0500, P1574, P1715, P1720 AND P0720. ONLY HAD CAR FOR 5 DAYS. AFTER 17 DAYS AT DEALER, REPLACED 2 SENSORS, 31935-1XF00 SENSOR ASMY-REV (N/C) 1 31935-1XF01 SENSOR ASMY-REV AT RECOMMENDATION OF NISSAN TECH LINE. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM PRIOR TO REPAIR. THIS WAS A LIFE THREATENING OCCURRENCE, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY DECELERATED WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,600.

INTERMITTENT LACK OF ACCELERATION. HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN 6 DAYS. TRIED ACCELERATING FROM STOP TO ENTER CROSS STREET AND FOUND NO ACCELERATION AND NO ENGINE INCREASE. TRAVELED 50 FEET AT 6 TO 10 MPH BEFORE A RESPONSE WITH PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. TURNED INTO DEALER, BUT THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION. THIS IS A POSSIBLE DEADLY PROBLEM. *TR
