2013 Nissan Versa complaints

HEAT SHIELDS- UNDERCARRIAGE VIBRATE, MAKE ALL SORTS OF NOISE, THEN CRACK AT BOLTS WHERE MOUNTED AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS DONE ON MY VEHICLE AND UNLESS CORRECTED WILL BE A CONTINUAL PROBLEM. ALSO, THE PLASTIC, POORLY MADE, AIR INTAKE AT AND NEAR AIR BREATHER VIBRATE AND CLATTER TERRIBLY! THIS CAR HAS MORE UNDERCARRIAGE AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT NOISE THAN ANY VEHICLE I'VE OWNED. I MIGHT ALSO ADD THE ENGINE HAS VALVE TICK, WHICH DOES NOT SEEM TO SHOW IT'S UGLY HEAD WHEN AT THE DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE IDLING, THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WOULD STALL AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

I WAS DRIVING IN A LEFT TURNING LANE SLOWING DOWN WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A VOICE ASKING IF I WERE OK? I CAME TO AND NOTICED THE AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED AND MY VERSA 'S HOOD WAS SMASHED, ALONG WITH THE FRONT SIDES. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HAD A SMALL DENT ON THE REAR BUMPER. APPARENTLY I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I AM STILL IN SHOCK. I WEAR A SIZE 14 SHOE. I BELIEVE MY FOOT CAME OFF THE BRAKE AND HIT THE ACCELERATOR. MY INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED MY VEHICLE.

FOOT CAUGHT BETWEEN PEDALS CAR WOULD NOT BRAKE OR STOP

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BROUGHT TO DEALER FOUND NOTHING RESET SENSOR. AS OF AUG. 12 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN & CAR STALLING AGAIN. BROUGHT TO MECHANIC SAYS IT IS SHOWING UP CAM SENSOR. SEE MANY NISSAN'S HAVING THIS PROBLEM & BEING RECALLED FOR CAM/CRANKSHAFT SENSORS BUT NOT MY MODEL! VERY DANGEROUS!

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH AND A CAR IT ME IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. TURNED ME AROUND 360DEGREES THE HOLD FRONT IN OF THE CAR WAS GONE. I HAD BROKEN BONES IN MY RIGHT LEG, AND FOOT WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 5 DAYS THEN SENT TO A REHAB FOR 8 WEEKS THEN WAS GIVEN 2 MONTHS OF THERAPY TO BE ABLE TO WALK. I LOST MY JOB BECAUSE OF BEING OFF WORK FOR LONG. STILL IN MY 2 MONTHS OF THERAPY. AIRBAGS EXPLODED AND TORN ALL TO PCS. .. UPDATED 09/30/15*BF

HOOD LATCH FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH. THE HOOD FLEW UP INTO WINDSHIELD BLOCKING ALL VISION AND DAMAGING THE HOOD, THE ROOF, THE SIDE PANELS NEAR THE HOOD ANCHORS AND CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE CHANGED INTO DIFFERENT GEARS AND THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I EXPERIENCED MY CAR SHAKING, REVVING UP AND THEN STALLING AT A PARKING LOT. UPON TRYING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR STALLED ON THE FREEWAY ON RAMP. ONCE STARTING THE CAR, I HAD TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR THE CAR TO GET UP TO 20 MI/HR. THE CAR MAINTAINED THIS SPEED FOR 4-5 MI, SUDDENLY THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE TO 60MI/HR AT WHICH POINT I NEARLY COLLIDED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THEN THE CAR PROCEEDED TO SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THERE'S A POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2013, HAVE HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, USED TOP TIER FUEL, AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY MAJOR ACCIDENTS, THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 30K MI. *TR

THIS IS AN EVENT SIMILAR TO ODI RESUME (PE 14-018) OPENED ON 06/24/2014 BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. SIMILAR TO COMPLAINANT, VOQ 10597004, MY FOOT WAS TRAPPED BY THE TRIM PANEL. PANEL IS LOCATED NEXT TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE LOWER CORNER IS POSITIONED SUCH THAT IT IS NEAR THE RIGHT OUTER EDGE OF THE DRIVER'S SHOE. ALSO SIMILAR TO COMPLAINANT 10573057, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO APPLY THE BRAKE, MY SHOE WAS CAUGHT BY THE TRIM PANEL WHICH DELAYED BRAKING ABILITY SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A RENTAL FACILITY, ENTERPRISE CAR SALES IN ELMWOOD PARK, NJ. THE PHOTOGRAPHS IN ODI RESUME PE 14-018 ILLUSTRATE THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE. ... UPDATED 03/19/15*BF UPDATED 6/18/2015*JS

1. FROM THE BEGINNING, WIND NOISE WAS NOTICEABLE. MANAGEMENT FROM DEALERSHIP CHECKED VEHICLE AND SAID NOISE WAS FROM DESIGN OF SIDE MIRRORS. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO BULLETINS AT TIME AND UNTIL THERE WERE THEY COULD DO NOTHING. 2. WINDSHIELD HAS WAVINESS ACROSS ENTIRE LOWER SECTION OF GLASS. THIS IS NOTICEABLE WHERE GLASS AND COWLING ADJOIN. NEW WINDSHIELD WAS ORDER FROM NISSAN AND INSTALLED. SAME ISSUE WITH REPLACEMENT GLASS. MY WIFE IS 4'9" AND FINDS THIS TO BE DISTRACTING. 3. HEAT SHIELD OVER MUFFLER CAME LOOSE AND VIBRATING. POOR QUALITY. I UNDERSTAND FROM ONLINE BLOGS THAT THIS INDEED HAS BEEN AN ISSUE. *TR

I WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND SLOWLY STARTED BACKING DOWN THE SLOPED DRIVEWAY, AS IT STARTED ROLLING BACK FASTER I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARDER AND THEY DIDN'T WORK. INSTEAD THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND I PUMPED THE BRAKES TO TRY AND GET A RESPONSE AND JUST AS IT REACHED THE STREET THE BRAKES FINALLY CLICKED BACK ON. *TR

VEHICLE WEIGHT FOR THE 2013 NISAN VERSA MODEL YEAR WAS SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED VS PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS. VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO CROSS WINDS / GUSTS (GREATER THAN 5 MPH) AT DRIVING SPEEDS GREATER THAN 40 MPH UNDER GOOD ROAD AND WEATHER CONDITIONS. SUGGEST THAT NISSAN ISSUE A WRITTEN ADVISORY TO ITS CUSTOMERS, AND/OR REDESIGN THE VERSA MODEL SO IT'S MORE STABLE DURING WINDY CONDITIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED ABRUPTLY TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

LAST NIGHT SUDDENLY ON THE HIGHWAY I-95 IT LOST A POWER. TO BE MORE EXACT, IT SEEMED LIKE TRANSMISSION STUCK ON THE HIGH (4TH) GEAR. ON PARKING OR NEUTRAL GEAR POSITIONS WHEN I PRESS GAS PEDAL, ENGINE REACTS AND INCREASES RPMS, MAKES NOISE, ETC BUT WHEN ON THE DRIVE POSITION, IT BARELY MOVES, LIKE IF YOU TRY TO START FROM 4TH OR 5TH GEAR. THIS MORNING I BROUGHT IT TO THE AUTONATION PEMBROKE PINES NISSAN DEALERSHIP (PEMBROKE PINES, FL). AFTER INSPECTION THEY GAVE ME THE SUCH A SURPRISING CONCLUSION: PROBLEM WITH TAIL LIGHT CAUSED MIS-FUNCTIONING OF TRANSMISSION. AND THE TAILLIGHT WAS FUNCTIONING WELL, NOT DAMAGED. BUT THEY TOLD, HIS ELECTRIC RESISTANCE WAS WRONG. AFTER REPLACING THE TAIL LIGHT TRANSMISSION STARTED WORKING. IT'S REALLY VERY HARD TO BELIEVE, THAT MISFUNCTIONING (WRONG ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE) OF THE TAIL LIGHT CAN AFFECT THE PRIMARY FUNCTIONALITY OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD REALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURIES OR EVEN LOOS OF LIFE. IT WAS VERY FORTUNE FOR ME THAT I DISCOVERED THIS ISSUE WHEN I WAS TAKING AN EXIT RAMP I FOUND SIMILAR HISTORIES DESCRIBED HERE HTTP://FORUMS.NICOCLUB.COM/2013-NISSAN-SENTRA-TRANSMISSION-ISSUES-POWER-LOSS-T584502.HTML AND HERE HTTPS://ANSWERS.YAHOO.COM/QUESTION/INDEX?QID=20131125173224AAB6P8P. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS, A LOUD CLUCKING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE COIL SPRING WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. LATER, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE CAUSING THE LEFT BALL JOINT AND STRUT TO FRACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN VERSA. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED A COMPLETE STOP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED FORWARD. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN A FENDER BENDER. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 55 SOUTH. I HEARD A POP ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE CAR CROSSED OVER INTO THE PASSING LANE AND HIT THE RAIL. I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE CAR. I HAVE INJURIES SUCH AS BACK STRAIN, WHIPLASH,HAND CONTUSION AND THIGH CONTUSION. THE CAR IS TOTALED AND THE BRAKE IS DEFECTIVE AND THE AXEL ON THE FRONT CAR IS BROKEN. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. IT IS A MIRACLE THAT I AM ALIVE. I WAS SOLD A DEFECTIVE CAR. I ONLY HAD THE CAR ONE MONTH. *TR

I AM WRITING TO SHARE WITH YOU A SAFETY CONCERN I HAVE WITH MY 2013 NISSAN VERSA. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAVE ONE POINT OF ENTRY, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE MODEL THAT I HAVE IS THE BASIC MODEL WHERE KEYLESS ENTRY WAS NOT INCLUDE, WHICH IS FINE WITH ME. BUT WHEN I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE, I WENT TO LET MY WIFE IN AND FOUND THAT THERE WASN'T A KEY HOLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE WAS THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE WITH A KEY. I WAS CONTENT WITH THAT, SEEING THAT I DID PURCHASE THE BASIC MODEL BUT THEN IT OCCURRED TO ME ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT TO FIND A PARKING SPACE. WHAT IF ANOTHER CAR PARKED VERY CLOSE TO ME ON THE DRIVER SIDE, SO CLOSE WHERE I CAN'T EVEN OPEN THE DOOR. HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO GET IN? I CAN'T GET IN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A KEY ENTRY. I DON'T HAVE KEYLESS ENTRY TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. I CAN'T GO THRU THE TRUNK BECAUSE THE SEATS DO NOT FOLD DOWN. SO OTHER THAN GOING THROUGH THE ESTABLISHMENT TO TRY TO FIND THE OWNER OR HAVING THE POLICE COME WITH A SOLUTION OF A TOW TRUCK OR SOMETHING, THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY WAY. OR EVEN WORSE... THERE WOULDN'T BE A WAY TO LET MY KIDS INTO THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IF THERE SHOULD BE ANY DANGER COMING OUR WAY. OR GET SOMEONE HURT OR UNCONSCIOUS OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THAT SEEMS TO ME TO BE A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CONCERN SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR FUTURE MODELS AS SAFETY IS SOMETHING THAT MANY PEOPLE TAKE IN CONSIDERATION

BRAKES MAKING HOLLOW NOISE WHEN COME TO STOP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND THE FLOOR MAT GOT STUCK ON THE GAS PEDAL AND WAS PRESSING IT DOWN WHEN I WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. I MUST MENTION THESE WERE NOT OEM MATS, BUT SIMILAR TO. *TR

I HAVE SIZE 13 FEET, BUT DEPENDING UPON THE ANGLE OF MY FOOT, IT OCCASIONALLY GETS TRAPPED WHEN I TRY TO MOVE FROM THE GAS TO THE BRAKE, SLOWING DOWN MY REACTION TIME AND BRAKING TIME. THIS HAS OCCURRED REGULARLY SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2014. *TR ... UPDATED 03/19/15*BF

WHILE TRY TO SLOW DOWN AND TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR TO APPLY THE BRAKE MY SHOW GETS CAUGHT ON THE TRIM PIECE NEXT TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I WAS COMING TO A STOP LIGHT AND WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT SCARED ME AND MY WIFE AND I ALMOST HIT A STOPPED CAR AT THE LIGHT. *TR

MY BRAKE PEDAL WILL SINK TO THE FLOOR IF I PRESS HARD ON IT WITH MY FOOT AND KEEP PRESSING. I LOOKED AT MY BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND IT IS AT THE NORMAL 'FULL' MARK. MY NISSAN DEALER SAYS THAT THE PEDAL KEEPS MOVING BECAUSE THE ABS IS MODULATING MY BRAKE PEDAL AND THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY BRAKES. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE LEFT TURN LANE AND WAS CHANGING RADIO STATIONS. I LOOKED UP AND NOTICED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS ALREADY GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, SO I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND ACCELERATED QUICKLY. AS I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION (STOP LINE) I ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, BUT COULD NOT, BECAUSE MY FOOT WAS STUCK. I USED MY RIGHT HAND TO GRAB MY LEG, AND PULLED HARDER, IMMEDIATELY BRAKING HARD, THEN BACKING MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE AS I SQUEALED AND SKIDDED AROUND THE CORNER, ALMOST GOING OVER THE CURB AND CRASHING. AFTER PARKING THE CAR IN A SAFE SPOT, I INSPECTED THE GAS PEDAL AREA TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENED. THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT COVERS THE CENTER CONSOLE EXTENDS AROUND TO JUST NEXT TO THE GAS PEDAL. IT ATTACHED WITH A PLASTIC PRESS FIT LOCK SEVERAL INCHES FROM THE EDGE, LEAVING THE EDGE UNSECURED. THE CORNER OF THAT PLASTIC PANEL WEDGED BETWEEN THE SOLE AND LEATHER UPPER OF MY WORK BOOTS, PREVENTING ME FROM TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. *TR ... UPDATED 03/19/15*BF UPDATED 6/18/2015 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES BEFORE STALLING A SECOND TIME. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE DEFECT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION ERRONEOUSLY ENGAGED INTO NEUTRAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3000. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW NISSAN VERSA SV ON MAY 11, 2013. ON DECEMBER 1, 2013 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I COULD FEEL MY STEERING WHEEL PULL TO THE LEFT. THEN THE ENTIRE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIGOROUSLY. MY BACK LEFT TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT. MY CAR ONLY HAD 6,200 MILES ON IT, MY TIRES ARE SUPPOSE TO BE GOOD FOR 60,000 MILES. I TOOK THE NEAREST EXIT AND PARKED IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX. THANKFULLY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE CAME VERY QUICKLY. THE PERSON WHO ASSISTED ME WAS SHOCKED THAT I WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT AND NO DAMAGE OCCURRED. WHEN HE TOOK THE TIRE OFF, WE LOOKED FOR DAMAGE TO THE TREAD, A NAIL OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE BLOWOUT. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE TREAD. THE TIRE LITERALLY CAME APART FROM THE SIDE (THE PART OF THE TIRE YOU SEE WHEN LOOKING AT THE CAR FROM THE SIDE). I BELIEVE I HAVE A DEFECTIVE TIRE(S) AND I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING WITH THESE TIRES. BECAUSE OF THIS, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE CONTINENTAL CONTIPROCONTACT ALL SEASON TIRES. *TR

MY 2013 NISSAN VERSA HAD NO BRAKES AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT THIS MORNING. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOWLY AS I JUST PICKED UP A FRIEND FROM HAVING SURGERY AND WAS BACKING. A BRIGHT RED BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. I RESTARTED IT AND STILL HAD NO BRAKES BUT THE BRIGHT RED LIGHT WAS GLOWING. I TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITHOUT ANY CHANGE. SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND THE THIRD TIME THE RED LIGHT WENT OFF AS I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND I SEEMED TO HAVE PEDAL AGAIN. SO I CALLED & LEFT 2 MESSAGES WITH THE SERVICE DEPT OF MY DEALER WHICH WERE NOT ANSWERED. I DROVE HOME VERY CAREFULLY(APPROX. 20 MI.) WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM SINCE I STILL HAD THE PATIENT WITH ME I PICKED UP FROM THE HOSPITAL. I CALLED THE DEALER A THIRD TIME & WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT. THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE & THEY WOULD TOW IT. THIRTY MINUTES LATER THEY TOLD ME IF THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM THE TOWING BILL WOULD BE MINE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I AM A 67 YEAR OLD SENIOR CITIZEN LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME & THEY WANT ME TO BRING IT TO THEM(APPROX. 35MI). *TR

I TOOK MY NEW 2013 NISSAN VERSA BACK FOR THE NEW BRAKES SHOES AS DIRECTED BY MY DEALER. I AM TOLD THEY REPLACED THE BACK BRAKE PADS AND HAD TO TURN THE ROTORS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A NEW CAR WITH THIS KIND OF ISSUE. THE MAN WHO TALKED TO ME TALKED ABOUT DUST AND RUST AS POSSIBLE REASONS OR EVEN SETTING A CAR UP & NOT USING IT...MY CAR IS ALWAYS PARKED INSIDE AND AN 8 MONTH OLD CAR WITH NINE THOUSANDS MILES PLUS HARDLY "SETS UP." I WANT TO CARRY MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS CAR & NOW FEAR THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE SQUEALING CRUNCHING SOUND THE CAR WAS MAKING IS GONE. *TR

MY REAR BRAKES STARTED SQUEALING JUST AFTER 6300 MILES, NOT CONSISTENTLY. MY DEALER CHECKED THEM & SAID THEY WERE FINE. TODAY I TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THE REAR PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR HAS JUST OVER 9,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. I LOOKED THIS PROBLEM UP ON NISSAN BLOGS AND FOUND MANY OTHERS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR BRAKE PROBLEMS. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING MY CAR RUN VERY ROUGH AFTER THESE 2 REPARIS ON MY BRAKES. ONE FOR THE ABS AND THE OTHER FOR MY MASTER CYLINDER. I AM STIL EXPERIENCING BRAKE PROBLEMS. WHEN I STOP THE CARS BRAKES WILL HAULT SUDDENLY OR CHANGE SENSITIVITY I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR TO LOKEY NISSAN AND AUTO NATION NISSAN AND HAVE BEEN REFUSED SERVICE. *TR

COULD TAKE HOURS BEFORE IT HAPPENS OR JUST MINUTES. SOMETIMES IT GOES ON THEN 5 MINUTES GOES OFF,OTHER TIMES WILL STAY ON FOR THE WHOLE TRIP. I WEIGH 115 POUNDS. *TR

ONCE I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR SHUT OFF AND I WAS UNABLE TO USE MY BRAKES. THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING AND MY BRAKES WERE VERY SOFT AND DIDN'T HAVE A QUICK ENOUGH BRAKE RESPONSE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN MY NEW CAR AND NISSAN WON'T REPLACE MY CAR OR GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. *TR

I LEFT WORK AT 11:30 PM AND AS I PROCEEDED TO STOP SIGN MY BRAKES FAILED AND NO ABS LIGHTS CAME ON . , I WAS PUSHING ALL THE WAY DOWN I AM LUCKY I MADE IT HOME SAFELY . I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MY MASTER CYLINDER FAILED . I DID SOME RESEARCH AND OTHER 2013 VERSA HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND THESES CARS WAS ASSEMBLED IN MEXICO WITH THE VIN 3N1 . I JUST CAME BACK FROM A LONG TRIP FROM NEW JERSEY I JUST THANK GOD MY BRAKES DIDN'T FAIL ON THE INTERSTATE I COULD HAVE OF BEEN KILLED . SOMETHING NEEDS BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

WHENEVER MY WIFE WHO IS ABOUT 100 POUNDS SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF OUR 2013 NISSAN VERSA LS, THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND THE AIRBAG SAFETY FEATURE IS TURNED OFF. WE ARE DRIVING A RENTAL FROM THE DEALER NOW, A 2013 NISSAN ROUGE AND IT WORKS JUST FINE. THE DEALER STATES THAT OUR VERSA WORKS AS INTENDED???? EVEN WITH MY WIFE AND MY 4 YEAR OLD IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, NOW TOTAL OF 132 POUNDS THE AIRBAG LIGHT STILL TURNS ON AND DISENGAGES THE AIRBAG SAFETY FEATURE. *TR

AT ABOUT 7:10AM ON JULY 18, 2013, I STARTED THE CAR AND A BAD NOISE CAME FROM ENGINE. I POOPED THE HOOD AND LOOKED BUT FOUND NOTHING VISUALLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY HAD TO KEEP IT OVERNIGHT. THREE MASTER MECHANIC'S VERIFIED THE NOISE AND STATED THEY HAVE NEVER HERD THIS BEFORE AND HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS WRONG. IT SOUNDS AS IF A BALL BEARING IS LOOSE IN THE TOP PART OF THE MOTOR AND BOUNCING AROUND. WHAT IS ODD, IS THAT THE NOISE WILL GO AWAY ONCE THE MOTOR IS WARMED UP. NOW THE DEALER IS SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG!!!!! *TR

I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN STOPPED OR COMING TO A STOP, BRAKE WILL FEEL LIKE IT BECOMES DISENGAGED OR FEELING OF CAR SURGING FORWARD A LITTLE, WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING IS ON. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE MY FOOT IS HEAVILY ON THE BRAKE, SO THAT IT WILL NOT FEEL LIKE IT WILL MOVE FORWARD. A COUPLE OF TIMES, I HAVE THOUGHT THE CAR IN BACK OF ME HAD BUMPED ME. ALSO, THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS A LITTLE LOOSE. ALSO, WHEN THERE IS DEW PRESENT ON THE WINDOW IN THE MORNING IF I HAVE PARKED OUTSIDE AT NIGHT, THE BUILT-IN WINDOW BRUSHES/EDGERS WILL NOT CLEAR THE WINDOWS. THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE YOU WERE DRIVING AND THE WINDOWS BECAME FOGGY ON THE OUTSIDE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THOSE LITTLE BRUSHES, WERE JUST MEANT TO KEEP DEBRIS OUT OF THE DOOR PANEL AREA. *TR

THE CAR WANDERS WILDLY AT SPEEDS OF 55MPH + AND YOU ARE IN ANOTHER LANE IF THE WIND BLOWS. HAVE BROUGHT TO DEALER, HAD TIRES ROTATED, SUSPENSION CHECKED TIRE PSI MATCHING ETC. IT IS DESIGN FLAW WITH SOME COMPONENT, WHETHER IT BE THE CAR IS SIMPLY TOO LIGHT, OR THE SUSPENSION IS TOO SOFT ETC. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN PULLED OVER BY STATE TROOPERS FOR "EXCESSIVE WEAVING", WHEN IT WAS WINDY OUT. *TR
