2014 Nissan Versa complaints

VIBRATIONS FELT THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN, SEATS AND FLOOR, WHENEVER CAR IS IN GEAR AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR IDLE. VIBRATION GETS WORSE WHEN AC OR DEFROST IS TURNED ON. IT GOES AWAY WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. HOWEVER CAR TAKES SOME TIME TO MOVE WHEN SHIFTING BACK TO DRIVE, AND THIS CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO HIT YOU FROM BEHIND. TAKEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS VIBRATION IS COMPLETELY NORMAL AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. VERY DISAPOINTED TO SAY THE LEAST.

THE HEAT SHIELD COVERING THE EXHAUST UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND WAS REPLACED 2 TIMES. THE CRACKING OCCURS WHERE THE HEAT SHIELD IS HELD TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE BY SCREWS AND BOLTS. THE WASHERS AND BOLTS ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE PREDRILLED HOLES AND CAUSES STRESS FRACTURES AT THE HOLE. THIS CAUSES THE HEAT SHIELD TO COME LOOSE AND RATTLE AGAINST THE EXHAUST. THERE ARE OTHER MODELS WITH SIMILAR HEAT SHIELDS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE MATERIALS ARE THE SAME. THE RATTLE CAUSES DISTRACTED DRIVING AS WELL AS POSES A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD IF THE ENTIRE UNIT WERE TO FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT COULD CAUSE UNSAFE VEHICLE OPERATION OR HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE.

ME AND MY SPOUSE WERE REAR ENDED LAST NIGHT AT A RED LIGHT. NEITHER OF THE AIRBAGS FUNCTIONED AND HER SEATBELT DIDN'T HOLD HER TO HER SEAT, CAUSING HER TO IMPACT THE DASHBOARD WITH HER FACE. HER NOSE IS BROKEN AND SHE ALSO HAS HEMATOMAS ON HER EYES AND FOREHEAD.

I WANT TO KNOW WHO MANUFACTURED THE AIRBAGS IN MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN AND MY SPOUSE'S 2009 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THE AIRBAG BUT I AM AWARE FROM GOOD PRESS REPORTS INCLUDING NYTIMES THAT MANY VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME OR SIMILAR TAKAT-MANUFACTURED BAGS TO THOSE RECALLED AND AT LEAST ONE FATALITY HAS OCCURRED IN SUCH A VEHICLE. I HAVE SEARCHED AND THE ONLY INFORMATION ONLINE I HAVE FOUND IS THE LIST OF RECALLED MODELS. IF MINE IS NOT THERE, I STILL HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHO MANUFACTURED THE AIRBAG AND WOULD APPRECIATE THE NHTSA SUPPLYING SUCH INFORMATION. ALTERNATIVELY, HOW DO I GET THE CARMAKER TO INFORM ME OF THE AIRBAG MANUFACTURE? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. I AM VERY PLEASED THAT AN AGENCY SUCH AS YOURS EXISTS.

I'VE UPLOADED A DETAILED OUTLINE OF WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH THE CAR. PLEASE SEE THE DOCUMENT.

MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA S WILL NOT EXCEED 23 MILES PER HOUR. IT HAPPENED FIRST ON 12/26/15 AND I HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED SEVERAL HOURS LATER SAYING THE CAR WAS FINE AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN 12/28/15 I WAS LEAVING A FROM A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT AND ONCE AGAIN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 23MPH. I DROVE THE VEHICLE ABOUT 3 MILES INTO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM DRIVE IT SO THEY COULD SEE WHAT I MEANT. THEY DID DRIVE IT AND SAID THEY WILL GIVE ME A LOANER CAR AND WOULD DIAGNOSE MORE TOMORROW. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR SURE,.

CAR STARTED ACTING UP ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND A HALF NOW WHEN I DRIVE IT ACCELERATES VERY SLOWLY AND WHEN I BRAKE IT MAKES THIS RUMBLING NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON AS WELL THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND THAT IS VERY LOUD WHEN I ACCELERATE ALSO AND TURN ON THE ENGINE HAD THE CAR CHECKED TWICE BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICAL PLACES AND THEY TEST DROVE ON BOTH OCCASIONS AND THEY SAID ITS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION STATED I SHOULD TAKE IT TO NISSAN TO GET IT LOOKED AT FEEL IT'S TO SHORT OF A TIME FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO BE ACTING UP IF THAT BECAUSE THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WITH OIL CHANGES AND HAS THE PROPER MAINTENANCE SINCE PURCHASED

STARTED THE VERSA AFTER BEING PARKED FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES AND WAS EXITING A SHOPPING CENTER. EXIT REQUIRES DRIVING UP A SIGNIFICANT INCLINE TO ACCESS BUSY THREE LANE ROAD. AT THE CREST OF THE HILL, DURING PAUSE WAITING FOR ACCESS POINT TO ENTER TRAFFIC, VERSA WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN WITH EXCELLERATOR DEPRESSED. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES AND VERSA INSTEAD ROLLED BACKWARDS, GAINING MOMENTUM WHILE GOING DOWN HILL BACKWARDS. BRAKES FAILED, PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP CAR UNTIL A CURB WAS HIT. LATER, EXITING THE SAME LOCATION AND CROSSED IN 2 LANES, THE VERSA RUNNING BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT MOVE THE CAR. ZERO RPMS. CAR STOPPED DEAD IN ITS TRACKS AND WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN SHIFTING GEARS TRYING ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO GET OUT OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO MOVE THE CAR, THE VERSA DIED. VERSA THEN WOULD NOT START AND ONLY MADE 'CLICKING NOISES'. FIVE PEOPLE IN THE CAR ALL AT RISK DURING THIS SERIOUS DRIVABILITY CONCERN. ONCE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR, THE TRANS AND ENGINE SINKED AND VERSA THEN DRIVABLE. EXITED THE ROADWAY. DROVE THE VEHICLE IN LESS POPULATED AREA TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS ALL FOLLOWING A COMPLAINT TO THE DEALER IN MAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS MAKING UNUSAL NOISES WHICH THEY CLAIMED WAS NORMAL FOR THE 2014 CVT.

I HAD TO STOP REAL QUICK TO AVOID HITTING A STRAY DOG RUNNING ACROSS THE STREET. I FELL FORWARD THE STERRING WHEEL. MY SEAT BELT WAS LOOSE. THE SEAT BELT COVER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT POPPED OFF AND WOULD CUT MY ARMS OR HANDS WHENEVER I HAD TO REACH IN BACK TO LOCK OR UNLOCK BACK DOOR. THAT WAS FINALLY COMPLETED APPROX. 2 WEEKS AGO. BY A NISSAN DEALER. HOWEVER, IT STATED ON THE WORK ORDER. THEY DID IT THE BEST WAY- THEY COULD. LAST NIGHT, 8/4/2015, I USED THE SEAT BELT AND IT WAS LOOSE WHEN I PUT IT ON AND NEVER GOT ANY TIGHTER, EVEN IF I TRIED TO MOVE AROUND THE FRONT SEAT. WITH OR WITHOUT BRAKES IT NEVER TIGHTENS UP IF I MAKE A SUDDEN STOP.. I HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS TO ME. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO WORK ON IT-ORDERS FROM ABOVE. MY BRAKES ACT CRAZY SINCE THEY DID THAT RECALL SYSTEM AND NOW THIS(PLUS MY OTHER PROBLEMS). SEAT BELTS ARE A MUST IN MY CAR. HOW CAN I TELL MY PASSENGERS TO WEAR THEIRS WHEN MINE JUST HANG ON ME. THIS IS BIG SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, IT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,876.

RETURNING FROM STATE LINE MY MOTHER AND TWO AUNTS WHERE DRIVING BACK TO LA ON THE FREEWAY WHEN TRAFIC SLOWED BEFORE APPROACHING A DOWNHILL GRADE WHEN MY AUNT WENT TO BRAKE WHEN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS A TOTAL FAILURE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOR. SHE THEN CONTINUED TO PUMP THE BRAKES STILL NOT STOPING SHE PUT THE CAR ON NUETRAL AND PULLED ON THE SHOULDER AND WAITED FOR THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN THE CAR STOPED THEY BRAKES WERE STILL NOT WORKING. THE CAR STOPED WHEN THEY ENTERED AN UPHILL OFF RAMP. THEY THEN CALLED AAA AND TOWED THE CAR BACK TO MY HOUSE. THE VERY NEXT DAY JULY 6 I TOOK MY MOTHETS CAR TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPEN N THEY PROCEEDED TO CHECK THE CAR ONKY TO FIND "CLIENT STAYESAT TIME BRAKE IS HARD/PADEL GORS TO THE FLOOR" THEN IT SAYS "TEST BRAKE SYSTEM, OK. NO LEAK. UNABLE TO DIPLOCATE THIS PROBLEM AT THIS TIME." I DID SOME REASEARCH AND FOUND ARTICLES RELATED TO THE 2014 NISSAN VERSA BREAK FAILURES AND PROCEDED TO THIS WEBSITE. HERES MY QUESTION WHAT IF THE NEXT TIME A NISSAN VERSA BRAKE FAILURESRESULTS IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR LOSS OF LIFE. MY MOTHER THIS NISSAN VERSA IM DESCRIBING WITH INCIDENT IS MY MOTHERS. RECALL IT AND MAKE IT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL YOU AND I BOTH KNOW IT WILL.

AFTER DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE WITH NO BRAKE USE THE BRAKES HOWL VERY LOUDLY WHEN APPLIED THE FIRST FEW STOPS. THE HOWLING HAS GOTTEN WORSE, THE STOPPING POWER IS GOOD AND THERE IS NO BRAKE FADE, NO PULSING IN THE PEDAL. NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY SAYING BRAKES ARE A WEAR ITEM, BUT MY MILAGE IS ALL HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKE USEAGE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON 02/14/2014 AND YESTERDAY WAS THE FORTH TIRE TO GO FLAT ALL FOUR HAVE BEEN ON THE BACK DRIVER SIDE. THE FIRST TWO I'M NOT 100% ON WHAT CAUSED IT AS I JUST ASSUMED I RAN OVER A NAIL THE FIRST TIME AND THEN JUST HAD BAD LUCK ON THE 2ND TIME. THE THIRD TIME (STARTING IN OCTOBER OF 2014-RIGHT AFTER THE 2ND FLAT AND GETTING A BRAND NEW TIRE) THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. WOULD CHECK AND IT WOULD BE LOW. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE LOCATION I GOT THE NEW TIRE FROM AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. WHEN A FEW MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS. IN DECEMBER THE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET OIL CHANGED...THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT...THEY FILLED IT WITH AIR. AGAIN I HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE, AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIME. IN APRIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT A LOT QUICKER. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, NOTHING. NEXT DAY IT WAS FLAT AGAIN HAD TO PUT AIR IN IT TWICE SO I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP, AGAIN THEY FOUND NOTHING. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN HAD TO PUT AIR IN IT TWICE, AGAIN TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP (YAP THREE DAYS IN A ROW). LEFT IT THERE ALL DAY. THEY FOUND A PIN HOLE IN THE SIDE. I BOUGHT A NEW TIRE. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE BACK DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLOW. THIS TIME THERE IS A INCH SIDE SLASH ON THE OUT SIDE OF THE TIRE. IN THE SAME PLACE AS THE PIN HOLE IN THE OTHER TIRE. IT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE THE SEEM WHERE THE BUMPER IS ATTACHED TO THE CAR IS TO SHARP OR RUFF AND

WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR, I WENT TO START IT BY PRESSING THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID AS WELL. IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES FOR THEM TO RELEASE AND COME BACK UP, BEFORE I COULD GET MY CAR STARTED AND DRIVE BACK HOME. I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE IT WAS GOING TO STICK AGAIN ON MY 2 HOUR RIDE BACK HOME.

WAS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT WHEN I SAW CAR APPROACHING FAST BEHIND ME. TRIED TO ACCELERATE, BUT CAR STALLED AND I WAS REAR ENDED. WAS TAKEN TO ER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE CONTACT'S FOOT BECAME STUCK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE REAR. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED BECAUSE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN VERSA FROM MAITA NISSAN IN SACRAMENTO (NOW CALLED SACRAMENTO NISSAN) ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2014 AND I'M JUST NOT SATISFIED. THE VIN NUMBER IS [XXX] I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN VERSA FROM MAITA NISSAN IN SACRAMENTO (NOW CALLED SACRAMENTO NISSAN) AND I'M JUST NOT SATISFIED. THIS CAR DOES NOT AT ALL SOUND LIKE A NEW CAR. I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT WITH 9 MILES ON IT, BUT IMMEDIATELY NOTICED HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SMOOTHLY GET INTO GEAR. IT'S LOUD AND ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMPLETELY BROKEN. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE I HEAR A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHETHER IT'S ON A FLAT SURFACE OR IN THE DRIVEWAY. I'VE DISCUSSED HEARING THIS SOUND BEFORE 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND ALSO WENT TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT 4 TIMES. I'M BEING TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. I DIDN'T PURCHASE A "BRAND NEW" CAR TO HAVE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND ADVISED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUES AND REQUESTED A BUY BACK. AFTER WAITING 3 WEEKS FOR AN ANSWER, THEY ADVISED ME ON 4/9/15 THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ACCOMMODATE MY REQUEST. I FEEL THIS CAR HAS AN UNSAFE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKING SYSTEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER BEING READY TO BACK UP I PLACE THE 2014 VERSA IN REVERSE. I TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR AND STARTED TO BACK UP AND WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE PEDAL MY FOOT WAS CAUGHT ON SOMETHING AND I WAS ACTUALLY ADDED PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. I BACKED UP AND I TRIED TO SWING THE CAR AWAY FROM THE PARKED RENTAL CARS BEHIND ME. WAS ABLE TO PULL MY FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR AND PUSHED THE SHIFTER INTO PARK. I HIT THREE CARS WHEN I WAS BACKING UP. WE DAMAGED OUR REAR FACIA AND THE REAR FACIAS OF THE THREE CARS I HIT AND IT ALSO DAMAGED THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OF LAST CAR I HIT. WHILE EXAMINING THE DAMAGE OF FORM THE ACCIDENT A SUPERVISOR FROM THE RENTAL COMPANY SAID WE SHOULDN'T FEEL SO BAD SINCE ONE OF THEIR DRIVERS HAD DONE SOMETHING SIMILAR BUT ONLY DAMAGED THE CAR THAT HE WAS MOVING. AT FIRST I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT AND THEN I SAW THE RECENT NTSB ISSUES FOR THIS. I ALSO CHECK ALL OF MY OTHER CARS. THOSE CARS DO NOT HAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE FLOOR BOARD AND THE SIDE OF THE CONSEL. I HAVE NOT GOT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THE CONDITION EXISTS ON CURRENT MODELS. THE MODEL YEAR MIGHT NOT BE CORRECT I WAS JUST TRYING TO REMEMBER IS THIS WAS A 14 OR 15. THE VIN I GOT FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY SO IT HAS TO BE WHAT EVER COMES FROM THERE. *TR

STEP DAUGHTER STATED BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ENGAGING THE BRAKES CAUSING HER TO CRASH INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

DRIVING TO ALA. FROM GA. HAD DIFFICULT TIME SEEING OUT WINDOWS AND WINDSHIELD DUE TO CONDENSATION BUILDING UP INSIDE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, PASSENGER SIDE, AND WINDSHIELD. IT WAS RAINING & DIFF IN TEMP., HAD TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES AND WIPE OFF WITH CLOTH TOWELS. WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO GET RADIO REPLACED AND SHOWED THEM THE TRUNK WAS WET (CARPET SHOWED RINGS) AND THE RIGHT DRIVERS DOOR HAD BIG GAP BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND DOOR FRAME AREA - IT IS SEPARATING FROM THE FRAME ON BOTH SIDES. THE FRONT DOORS ON BOTH SIDES ARE BELOW THE BACK DOORS AND THE GAPS ARE INCREASING WHENEVER I DRIVE THE CAR. INSIDE THE WINDSHIELD SEAL PLASTIC HAS STARTED TO PEEL OFF TWICE. THE WIPER BLADES HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES BECAUSE THEY JUST START TO TEAR IN SMALL AREAS. ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT AND SEEN BY THE SERVICE DEPT. EVEN WHEN THE MOISTURE COLLECTS INSIDE DURING A RAIN SHOWER (DEFROSTER WON'T PREVENT THIS) . THEY HAVE REFUSED TO FIX THE LEAK IN THE TRUNK OR THE DOORS. I AM SCARED THAT ONE OF THE DOORS WILL FALL OFF. THE GAP HAS INCREASED IN 6 WEEKS YOU CAN STAND 2 FT. AWAY AND SEE THE SCREWS. I CAN HARDLY LOCK THE CAR (MANUALLY). NO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WILL FIX IT WITHIN 120 MILES. I DO NOT KNOW WHY. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THIS AND IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO, THERE IS A AWFUL SMELL WHEN I START IT WITHIN THE SYSTEM, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS ME NOT THE CAR. *TR

THE CAR ON COLD DAYS AND SOME NOT COLD DAYS, AND COULD JUST HAD SAT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, WOULD FEEL/HEAR CRUNCHING SOUND (LIKE METAL BARS BEGINNING TO DISLODGE OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE) UNDER THE FLOOR BOARD AFTER ACCELERATION AND CAR STARTS TO MOVE. THIS IS ONLY ON DRIVER SIDE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND REPORTED THIS TO HAVE IT LOOKED AFTER. TO NO AVAIL, THE CRUNCHING PROBLEM IS YET TO BE DISCOVERED BY A SERVICE MAN. THEY HAVE YET TO FIND THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR CHECK-UP AND DOCUMENTED MANY AND EVERY TIME I HAVE OIL CHANGES AS WELL. I HAVE BEEN REPORTING THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE 12/2013 AND NOW HERE IT IS MARCH 2015 THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED ABRUPTLY TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

THERE IS A COOLANT SMELL COMING FROM THE ENGINE, NO NOTICEABLE SIGNS OF A LEAK . THE MAIN COOLANT TANK WAS FULL BUT THE OVERFLOW WAS EMPTY. DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMMON SMELL WITH NO FURTHER EXPLANATION. AFTER FILLING THE OVERFLOW, THE SMELL STILL PERSISTS. THE OVERFLOW LOSES ABOUT HALF A CUP PER MONTH. NO OVERHEAT OR COOLING PROBLEMS NOTICED. *JS

VEHICLE MOVES ABRUPTLY LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN THERE ARE NO GROOVES OR WIND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY SAFELY. NISSAN TEST DROVE VEHICLE. ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT'S JUST HOW THE VEHICLE IS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX IT. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE BEEN UNSATISFIED EVER SINCE. THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION IS LOUD AND SEEMS TO LAG WHEN I'M ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS, IT'S LOUD. I ALSO SMELL COOLANT ON A REGULAR BASIS AND THE CAR SHIFTER MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN REVERSING WHETHER I'M ON A FLAT SURFACE OR IN THE DRIVE WAY. THIS IS NOT CHARACTERISTIC OF A "BRAND NEW" VEHICLE AND IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5.

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM THE CAR DEALER IN THE SPRING. WHEN TURNING ON THE AC PARTICLES CAME OUT OF THE AIR VENTS AND INTO MY EYES. I WEAR CONTACT LENSES AND IT TEMPORARILY BLINDED ME. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT AND GET THE PARTICLES OUT OF MY EYES. THE PARTICLES LOOKED LIKE GRASS SEEDS. SINCE THEN, I ALWAYS TURN ON MY BLOWER BEFORE MOVING TO CLEAR THE VENTS. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR DOES NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A CABIN AIR FILTER, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A PLACE FOR ONE TO BE INSTALLED. I CHECKED WITH NISSAN OF AMERICA AND THEY CONFIRMED WHAT THE DEALER SAID. I TOLD THEY CHEAPED OUT THE CAR AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER INSTALLED A CABIN AIR FILTER AT THE COST OF ~ $60.00. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY AND POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A FATALITY. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO EQUIP THEIR CARS WITH CABIN AIR FILTERS. CARS BUILD PRIOR TO CABIN AIR FILTERS DIDN'T SEEN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THE WAY THEY TOOK AIR INTO THE CAR. *TR

STOPPED AT PARKING LOT BOOTH WHICH WAS PLACED WITHIN ONE FOOT OF SIDEWALK, PREVENTING STRAIGHTENING OF FRONT WHEELS, WHICH WERE TURNED TO THE LEFT FOLLOWING A LEFT TURN INTO THE LOT. AFTER PAYMENT THROUGH PASSENGER WINDOW, I PLACED A FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR RESULTING IN SUDDEN UNEXPECTEDLY RAPID ACCELERATION AND A LURCH OF THE CAR TO THE LEFT WITH ALMOST IMMEDIATE IMPACT WITH A CONCRETE CYLINDRIC POST PLACED OPPOSITE THE RISEN ENTRANCE GATE WITHIN 2 FEET OF THE FRONT OF THE PREVIOUSLY STATIONARY CAR. THE FORCE WAS SUCH TO BEND THE RIM OF THE FRONT L WHEEL, STRIKING OF MY HEAD AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE FRACTURE OF 2 METATARSALS LIKELY FROM IMPACT WITH THE BRAKE. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHEN ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. WHEN I PLACE THEY KEY INTO THE IGNITION, THE STEERING WHEEL REMAINS LOCKED, PREVENTING THE SWITCH TO TURN. IT TAKES A GREAT AMOUNT OF EFFORT AND STRAIN TO UNLOCK THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. MY CAR HAS 2200 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY (09/29/2014). I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY ADVISED ME (MY INTERPRETATION OF THEIR ADVICE) TO WRESTLE WITH IT UNTIL IT UNLOCKS. DIDN'T HELP MY SITUATION. I WILL CONTINUE TO RETURN TO NISSAN UNTIL THEY FIX IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING UNDER 5 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

I WAS GOING TO PICK UP ONE OF MY KIDS AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE BRAKES, MANUAL TRANSMISSION, AND THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT WORK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THE PICK IT UP AND DID A 24 POINT CHECK UP. THE SERVICE AGENT TOLD ME ON THE PHONE THAT THEY CALLED NISSAN AND THEY DID A COMPLETE RESET OF THE SYSTEM. WHEN I PICK IT UP THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. I HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT HE TOLD ME, BUT HE WASN'T AVAILABLE. IN MY PAPER WORK ALL THEY PUT WAS THAT THEY DID A 24 POINT CHECK UP AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. I HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN I?M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. I WOULD LIKE TO GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THERE IS NO TRUNK RELEASE INSIDE THE CAR'S CAB! NO BUTTON OR PULL LEVER ONLY WAY IN IS WITH THE KEY. WHAT IF A SMALL CHILD SHUT THE TRUNK AND WAS NOT ABLE TO COMPREHEND THE LEVER INSIDE THE TRUNK? VERY VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE WHO MAY DRIVE THIS CAR EVEN A LOCKSMITH HAD TO COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLE THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR TO GAIN ENTRY. THIS IS NO WAY ACCEPTABLE AND I WILL NEVER DRIVE/OWN ANY CAR THAT DOES NOT HAVE TRUNK SWITCH/BUTTON/LEVER EVER AGAIN! I CANNOT PUT IN WORDS HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM WITH THE PERSON WHO PASSED A VEHICLE WITH THE ONLY WAY INTO THE TRUNK IS WITH A KEY!
