2015 Nissan Versa 83,850 odometer reading Complaint: Safety for other individuals driving similar vehicles. Daughter was driving recently on 91 freeway in Long Beach, CA extremely busy highway on a Friday afternoon. Driving in the middle lane the cars forward movement stopped but car still running. Mechanic diagnosis was the CVT transmission. The car did not give us any warning at anytime there were any issues with the transmission. My concern and hope other would know about CVT transmissions This could of been a very bad day for my daughter if an accident was caused due to this issue. Thank God for the California Highway Patrol, The 911 operator and the California Tow Truck highway Patrol who got her off the highway quickly and safely.

The CVT transmission has only 80k miles and is changing gears for no reason up and down at all speeds and won’t drive safely. Rpm’s increase and randomly gear kicks in and hits very hard and then stops working.

I WENT TO BOB MOORE NISSAN IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA FOR SERVICING MY 2015 NISSAN VERSA NOTE. THEY TOLD ME THAT NY AIRBAGS HAD STOPPED WORKING. I'VE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT IN THIS CAR AND THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. THEY TRIED TO CHARGE ME $3600 TO FIX MY AIRBAGS, BUT I FOUND OUT THAT OTHER NISSAN AIRBAGS HAD BEEN RECALLED.

MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT GOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR. SHE AND A CHEVY SILVERADO WERE TRAVELING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS WHEN THEIR TRAFFIC SIGNALS BOTH TURNED YELLOW. THINKING SHE WAS GOING TO STOP, HE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HER CAUSING HER TO T-BONE HIS TRUCK. THOUGH SHE HIT HEAD ON, NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE IMPACT WAS ENOUGH THAT HER CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS AND SHE SUFFERED A CONCUSSION. SHE WAS NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT UNFORTUNATELY. *TR

The arm that comes in from the firewall of the clutch master cylinder that has the little plastic clip that attaches to the rod of the clutch pedal, constantly pops off leaving you with complete loss of control of your car. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY ALL NISSAN VERSA OWNERS!! This faulty issue has happened to so many people that have even had brand new clutch master cylinders replaced. Many owners have had to create a fix themselves due to this faulty clip. This can be extremely dangerous while driving. In my situation yesterday in HIGH traffic I lost complete control of my clutch. I have uploaded some photos that another person posted on a forum to show the clip and rod and that they used their own concoction to fix this. This has caused many versa owners complete loss of control of their vehicles.

I have had two major instances where the Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF) has caused my vehicle to lose total power. The first incident occurred around midnight one night as I was heading home. I was unable to accelerate from a stop sign and had to put the car in neutral and coast in reverse to be able to get my vehicle out of the road and along the curb. The vehicle would not start on its own. I had to have the vehicle towed and taken to a mechanic where repairs were completed. WIthin two months of these repairs, I notice the problem seems to be returning. Three times I notice the car not accelerating correctly and one instance where I tried to press the gas pedal and had no response from the car to it. Ultimately these issue led to my coming home one night around 2am and the car simply would not accelerate at all. I had to pull over and again call a tow truck. My mechanic tells me the the MAF sensor is faulty, but the company handling the extended warranty wants to see the car orior to repairs being done. However, that means I am stuck waiting almost a week before repairs can even begin. Its very nerve racking having this issue on your vehicle. Its an intermittent problem that seems to creep up whenever it feels like it, I have to drive my car for work and I often keep late hours. I dont like the idea of breaking down at night in an area I am not familiar with Having thid problem affects not only my and others safety but my overall well being and financial stability

Transmission locked up and almost got me hit my 2015 Versa note only has 67000 miles on it I’ve only had it 4 months and it’s not covered by warranty and even though I’m glad my kids were not in the car I’m not happy with the fact that the transmission issue is known but still being sold if I knew this was a possibility I would not have bought it
Jul 09, 2023
These cars have known issues with the CVT transmissions. Our car has 42k miles and is in need of a complete transmission replacement that Nissan refuses to cover. Our son was put in a dangerous situation driving in the way when the car began sputtering and losing power.

STEERING
16 complaints
The PS warning light has been coming on intermittently. The power steering goes out and the vehicle is hard to steer. My safety and others are put at risk if I lose power steering. We have done research online and plan to take it to a dealership to confirm the exact issue. The PS warning light has come on a few times over the last several months and the power steering comes and goes.
Feb 05, 2026
When driving the electric power steering began to malfunction in short periods of driving, making it very hard to drive safely. Until a few weeks later the whole unit stopped working and the power steering light came on. This made it hard to steer in high and low speeds. This put my car and others at risk in lane changing and during turns because of the seizing steering. Imagine if a person jumps out in front of the car and the brakes weren’t a viable option, I would not be able to swerve out of the way. Or run off the road. Our auto mechanic recommended we report it to NHTSA because the car can lose control due to the steering seizing. The mechanic said the car is not old enough for it to be failing and should be recalled due to safety. Research on the internet shows these cars with low miles are all having the same issue.
Jun 27, 2024
When you press on the accelerator and gain speed the car abruptly jerks to the right. I believe it’s caused by a defect of the traction control system.
Mar 07, 2024
the power steering system in my Nissan Versa has put me at risk it must be repaired because it is part of the recall car affected
Dec 28, 2022
Steering wheel assembly cracked and also the left side of the steering wheel piece broke. Very expensive to fix and wasn’t offered a car to use. Order for this assembly is on back order!!!! Nissan said the crack could only be if it was blunt force to it which would consist of 300 lbs. So it’s a Nissan failure but no recalls on it which is sad.

ME AND MY FAMILY WERE INSIDE THE HOUSE AND HEARD AN EXPLOSION. WE RAN OUTSIDE AND NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE EXPLODED AND BLEW THE TIRE WELL AND FENDER OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST SITTING IN THE YARD. I CALLED THE OUACHITA PARISH SHERIFF'S OFFICE. A DEPUTY CAME OUT AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. I FILED AND AUTO INSURANCE CLAIM AND HAVE TO WAIT UP TO 48 HOURS FOR A RESPONSE.

VERY THIN CLEAR COAT AND PAINT LEADING TO RUST. THERE ARE MULTIPLE SPOTS ON OUR VEHICLE WHERE, WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP OR IN DAILY DRIVING, THAT THE CLEAR/COLOR AND PRIMER COATS HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED WITH MINOR EVENTS. THE HINGES THAT HOLD THE DOORS ARE PAINTED WITH THE SAME PRIMER AND COLOR COAT AND A LESS BUFFED OR POSSIBLY NOT COVERED IN A CLEAR COAT. PRACTICAL THINKING IS THAT IT IS LIKELY, NOT JUST PLAUSIBLE, THAT THE PAINT HAS BEEN OR WILL BE COMPROMISED IN THESE PLACES LEADING TO FAILURE CAUSING DISTRACTION, INJURY OR DEATH.

MY CAR HAS STALLED TWICE NOW.... BOTH WHILE DRIVING RIGHT BEFORE IT STALLS I TRY TO ACCELERATE AND IT WON'T GO. JUST STALLS.... HAVE TO TURN THE CAR TOTALLY OFF AND THEN RE-START. SO FAR IT HAS RE-STARTED EVERY TIME BUT WHY!!! THIS HAS DONE THIS TWICE AND ONCE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS.....
Jun 24, 2019
I HAD PREVIOUSLY MADE NISSAN AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF. THEY ASSURED ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO STALL AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. MONTHS LATER IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND WOULD DECREASE IN SPEED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO NOT MOVE WHEN I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP; I WOULD HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. THEN IT STARTED TO FAIL GOING IN REVERSE AND SHUTTING OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. MANY OTHER NISSAN VERSA OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINT OF VEHICLES STALLING. THE VEHICLES ARE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I BELIEVE NISSAN KNOWS THIS. I HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK. WHY HAS NISSAN NOT DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THE TERRIBLE TRANSMISSIONS?
Apr 25, 2019
THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON MY 2015 NISSAN VERSA NOTE 3 TIMES NOW. IN ALL 3 SITUATIONS, MY CAR WAS IN IDLE IN DRIVE MODE AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN.

IN HOUSTON WHEN I WAS IDLING AT A RED LIGHT AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND DRIVE 348 MILES WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ISSUES.

Abs light turn on and it’s malfunctioning
Dec 22, 2021
WHILE DRIVING, NOTICED MOSTLY AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BE SPONGY. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND CANNOT BE PREDICTED IN ADVANCE. THE VEHICLE DOES STOP, BUT BRAKING TAKES LONGER THAN NORMAL.
Apr 12, 2019
WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR, I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY SPONGY AND SOFT AND THE CAR HESITATED TO STOP WHEN BRAKE ENGAGED. BUT AS I KEEP DRIVING IT, IT PROMPT ME INTO DANGER AS I HAVE HARD TIME STOPPING THE CAR AND END UP IN THE MIDDLE OF CROSSWALK. FOR VERSA BRAKE, I FEEL LIKE IT IS DESIGNED TO BRAKE AT LEAST 30FT AHEAD, IT TOTALLY DOES NOT WORK FOR EMERGENCY. I NEVER LET MY MOM DRIVE THAT CAR BECAUSE HER EYES COULD NOT SEE THAT FAR! ALSO, WHEN THE AC IS ON, THE BRAKE GETS EVEN WORSE! IT IS WAY SOFTER AND SPONGIER AND WAY LESS PRESSURE, SO I ALWAYS HAVE TO TURN OFF THE AC FOR THE SAKE OF MY LIFE! PLEASE HELP US INVESTIGATE THE BRAKING SYSTEM! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ALL FUTURE DRIVERS WITH VERSA!
Jul 27, 2016
THE BRAKE DOESN'T MAKE THE CAR STOP WITHIN 15FT AT 35 MPH!. I HAVE TO KEEP THE SAME DISTANCE WITH THE CAR IN FRONT IN LOCAL STREET AS IN FREEWAY TO FEEL SAFE. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ALSO VERY SOFT AND SPONGY, I APPLY ALL THE WAY AND THE CAR STILL KEEPS SLIDING. I OFTEN END UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROSSWALK. YESTERDAY, I WAS STUCK IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT TWICE BECAUSE THE BRAKE JUST SLOWED DOWN THE CAR FOR A LITTLE BIT EVEN WHEN I ENGAGED HALF WAY, AND IT FELT LIKE THE CAR STILL JERKED AGAINST THE BRAKING FORCE! IT IS NOT OK AND TOTALLY UNSAFE! I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO A BRAKE RECALL!

WHILE PRESSING DOWN THE PEDAL TO ENGAGE THE CAR TO PICK UP SPEED THE CAR PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
4 complaints
Fuel gage is inaccurate and fuel keeps dropping fast. After a week of this check engine came on after checking fuel pump, it was determined the pump was brand new and had no issues. A recall was done on the fuel line last year had it check at Nissan dealership and service rep stated the line was fine and advised the rep that didn't explain when the fuel gage is inaccurate or the fuel dropping fast if the fuel line and my fuel pump are fine. They never rechecked it...now engine light is on and code is reading P0193 which that indicates a fuel sensory circuit which the dealership should have realized if they actually checked everything regarding the fuel issue last year. This should be addressed and nissan should render the repair of this fuel issue I have been having from the start and I believe last year Nissan just checked the fuel line and called it a day and didn't fully address the fuel issue I'm having with this vehicle overall.
Mar 02, 2022
THE FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE ONCE BELOW 3/8THS OF A TANK. THIS COULD LEAD TO A STALL ON THE FREEWAY OR IN A DANGEROUS AREA LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM LEAVES INSUFFICIENT TIME TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. OUR PARTICULAR INCIDENT HAD THE METER AT 3/8THS AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND, WHEN TURNED BACK ON, THE GAUGE WAS SHOWING EMPTY. IN ADDITION TO THE PROBLEM OF A STALL CAUSING A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT, THE FUEL PUMP USES GASOLINE TO COOL AND LUBRICATE IT, LEADING TO POTENTIAL LONG-TERM PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM AS IT WAS RUN UNTIL EMPTY. NISSAN HAS HAD HISTORICAL PROBLEMS WITH FUEL GAUGES AND THIS IS IN LINE WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. *TR
Jun 25, 2020
WHILE STUCK IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE AND MY CAR STALLED. NO WARNING WAS GIVEN AND MY POWER STEERING TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TURN MY CAR BACK ON AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER WAITING FOR A FEW MINUTES TO MAKE SURE IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN I PULLED BACK ONTO THE FREEWAY. WITHIN A FEW FEET WHEN TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE MY CAR STALLED AGAIN. I WAS REAR ENDED AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AGAIN. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 101 AT THE TIME. WHEN SPEAKING TO NISSAN I WAS TOLD TO USE PREMIUM GAS AND ONLY FILL UP HALF A TANK AND WAS SENT AWAY WITHOUT THEM LOOKING AT MY CAR.

WHEELS

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED A LOUD HUMMING NOISE STARTING AT 40 MPH AND LATER DETERMINED THAT THE WHEEL BEARINGS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED . UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AMONG THIS MODEL OF CAR STARTING AS EARLY AS 10K MILES. MY MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT IT IS UNUSUAL FOR THIS PART TO BE REPLACED SO EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE BUT IF THE PART IN QUESTION WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED A TOTAL FAILURE THE ENTIRE WHEEL FALLS OFF OF THE VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING INTO WASHINGTON, DC ON HWY 50 AND I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND THEN THERE WAS METAL DRAGGING ON THE PAVEMENT. I PULLED OVER AS SOON AS IT WAS SAFE. ANOTHER DRIVER PULLED OVER TO ASSIST. I'M 86 YRS OLD AND NOT ABLE TO CRAWL UNDER THE CAR. THE SPARE TIRE IS STORED UNDERNEATH THE BODY OF THE CAR AND IT HAD FALLEN OUT ON THE HWY. I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS UNTIL I RETURNED HOME AND ONE OF MY CHILDREN LOOKED UNDER THE CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. THE SPARE TIRE WAS GONE. WE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW SPARE TIRE. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND THAT LOSE SPARE COULD REALLY CAUSE PROBLEMS ON A HIGH SPEED ROAD.
Jun 15, 2018
I RENTED A CAR FROM DOLLAR CAR RENTAL. AS I WAS DRIVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, THE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. I HAVE CONTACTED BOTH THE RENTAL CAR AND THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER DID NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF MY CORRESPONDENCE. I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN THE PAST. I HAVE ASKED THE RENTAL CAR COMPANY FOR CAR MAINTENANCE RECORDS TO HELP DETERMINE WHETHER IT WAS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE OR A TIRE ISSUE. WHEN I RENTED THE CAR, IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 36,000 MILES. I LOOK FORWARD TO UNDERSTANDING HOW I FILE A REPORT OF THIS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN SUDDENLY I FEEL AS A HIT SOMETHING WITH MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE AND GET FLAT, I MOVE TO THE SHOULDER TO CHANGE AND OH SURPRISE THE WHEEL WAS CRACK REALLY BAD, I NEVER SAW SOMETHING LIKE THIS, I DON'T KNOW IF THE WHEEL MATERIAL IS TOO SOFT AND MY CAR HAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, I JUST LET THE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS MATTER TO SEE IF SOMEONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM, NISSAN DEALER SAID MAYBE I HIT SOMETHING BIG AS A SIDEWALK, ROCK OR METAL, I'M NOT BLIND BUT ANYWAY THERE IS NOT RECALLS ABOUT WHEELS ON NISSAN CARS AND NO WARRANTY THEY GIVE. *JS

I was driving along and I went to stop but the brake didn't stop the car so I put in the car in park. Then the brake and engine lights started flashing at me so I turned of the car. I wasn't driving very fast at all, probably less than 20 miles per hour. Then when I restarted the car the brake and engine lights cam back on and the brake still wasn't working, and the car rolled while it was in park. I was not able to move the car to a safe spot. I had to sit partially in a traffic lane near a dangerous, blind curve. A sheriff's deputy saw my car and pulled in behind me to help protect me while we waited two hours for the Auto Club. My mechanic said the transmission totally failed and caused the problems.

THERE IS NO SMOKING BUT THE AIR IN THE CAR SMELLS AT 65MPH SO I GO 60MPH TO PREVENT THE SMELL BECAUSE IT MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS. THE CAR HAS NOT LOST COMPRESSION AT ANY SPEED/CLIMBS HILLS/BUT THE SMELL HAPPENS WHEN CLIMBING A HILL AS WELL AS BEING IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED OR MPH CLIMBING THE STEEP HILLS OF NY. FOR INSTANCE IF THE SPEED LIMIT IS 30MPH AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL AND 55MPH AT THE TOP OF THE HILL, THE CARS ENGINE WILL SMELL HOT. NO GAGES OR RED LIGHTS OCCUR TO INDICATE OVERHEATING. RADIATOR IS NOT A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIGHT OR NO STEAM OR SMOKE TO INDICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT IS A STANDARD/MANUAL SHIFT. AND I DID EXPERIENCE THE PEDAL OPERATION COMPROMISED WHEN MY SHOE WAS CAUGHT UNDER THE SIDE PANEL. I CHANGED SHOES THEN THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED....EXCEPT FOR THE RECALL WHICH IS NECESSARY.

My skid mark symbol comes on, does not go off until 2or 3 days later. My Nissan will not accelerate over 20 miles per hour. I have had mu vehicle checked several times at the Grainger Nissan dealership several times within the past 4 years after they installed a new transmission. They found and corrected other issues, but not what causes the traction lights to come on and decrease speed causing me to have to use flashers and bike lanes where ever available until I get home. Independent mechanics have checked, knocked off traction light. It only comes on again. I have another mechanic at Precision Tune to check it out tomorrow.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously taken to the dealer, where the fuel pump assembly, the lower control arm, and the electronic parking switch were replaced. Additionally, the contact stated while starting the vehicle, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that cylinder #1 had misfired, and the dealer determined that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to a transmission specialist, where the catalytic converter was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the catalytic converter was replaced for a second time. Additionally, the contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to shift to first gear. The vehicle was towed to another dealer, Classic Nissan Newport News (12925 Jefferson Ave, Newport News, VA 23608), where the transmission assembly, the ignition coil, and spark plug #1 were replaced. The contact stated while driving after the repair, the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that while her grandson was occupying the rear passenger's side seat, the seat belt locked and failed to unbuckle. The contact stated that her daughter cut the seat belt and released her grandson. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

After I bought my 2015 Nissan Versa with VIN: [XXX[ in April 2019, the water gained entry inside the car due to heavy rain a month later. The incident has continued to occur; Unfortunately, I had kept blaming it on the height between the parking ground and the car floorboard. The design flaws on the Versa allow water to collect below the windshield. When the collected water doesn't drain, so it flows into the car on the front passenger side floor below the compartment gloves area. It causes visibility problems during rainy and winter seasons since the inside car is not completely sealed causing insulation issues. I had to buy different products to address the visibility problems. My car got flooded last May 2022 to the point I had to get a cup to get some of the water out. I started hearing a sloshing sound and quirking sound when pressing on the brake not too long and so on. I initially paid $1,200 to repair the electrical problems to a Nissan dealer and later found out the harness needed to be replaced due to water damage costing $7,200. The design flaw made my car unsafe due to the visibility problem during inclement weather. There is a blog where 2014 through 2018 Nissan Versa owners describing the same issue I have been experiencing. I am dumbfounded Nissan has never bothered to address this issue for so long; very few people have a disposable income to pay for repairs or constantly buy a new car in less than 5 years. The sad thing, I had to borrow money from my life insurance to pay the car off. I know Nissan will use the inspection defense. Please keep in mind all the cars that have been recalled before passed inspection, so it is not a valid point.

I was driving in stop abs ho traffic and the car cut off out if no where. The car jerks when you drive it and stalls. It seems like it requires a lot of work to accelerate and the rpm fluctuates between 2&3 when keeping a steady pace. The care bucks while you are driving. I just bought this car so these issues are alarming to me. It also looks as if the airbag on the top left might be exposed.

WHEN TAKING OFF THE TRANSMISSION BELT SLIPS ALL THE TIME SO I TRY TO EASE INTO THE GAS AS GENTLY AS POSSIBLE. WHEN A/C IS RUNNING THE CAR HAS ALMOST ZERO ACCELERATION AND HAS A STUTTERING OR STUMBLING ISSUE THAT CAUSES ISSUES UNTIL I HIT 3000 3500 RPM THEN SEEMS TO GAIN POWER. I HAVE ISSUES ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE TRANSMISSION SEEMING TO SLIP OUT OF ENGAGEMENT OF THE BELT WHEN SPEEDING UP TO PASS. WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A LIGHT, IF THE LIGHT TURNS BEFORE I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND I GO TO REAPPLY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, IF I DONT GENTLY APPLY THE GAS THE TRANSMISSION BELT WILL SLIP AND CAUSE THE CAR TO SHUTTER. IM NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE, BUT I HAVE HAD SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AROUND 40000 MILES, A CRICKET CHIRPING NOISE THAT IN THE BEGINNING WAS ALWAYS AT 2000RPM AND NO WHERES ELSE IN THE RPM RANGE. NOW IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO WHERE I SEEM TO HEAR THE CHIRPING NOISE ANYWHERE AROUND 1500 RPM TO 2250RPM RANGE. AS WELL I HAVE HAD THE RADIATOR FAN QUIT WORKING CAUSING THE MOTOR TO OVER HEAT PRETTY BAD BUT THE HEAD GASKET DIDNT FAIL LUCKILY. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE CAR, AN ISSUE WITH THE A/C WHEN IT STARTS UP THE CLUTCH BASICALLY CLUNCKS ON OR MAKES AN AWFUL NOISE KICKING ON AND WHILE THE A/C WOULD RUN BEFORE THE FAN FAILED, THE AIR WOULD START SMELLING VERY VERY BAD. IT SMELLED LIKE CHEMICALS OF SOME SORT AND IT WOULD MAKE ME VERY NATIOUS TO THE POINT I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE A/C OFF AND LIVING IN THE DESERT IN TUCSON, ARIZONA THIS DOES NOT MAKE FOR A VERY GOOD COMFORTABLE RIDE AT ALL.

SOMETIMES STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR. YOU CAN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT WON'T DO ANYTHING AT ALL. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT IT AND THEY TOTALLY BLOW ME OFF DENIED THAT ANYTHING WAS GOING ON THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE MOTOR THEY SAID. YOU HAVE TO JUST LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT'LL FINALLY MOVE THE CAR WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO GO SOMEWHERE AND IT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE I COULD LEAVE YOU STRANDED SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADNOT SURE IF IT'S THIS IS RELATED TO THE WHATEVER'S CAUSING THAT PROBLEM BUT WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND YOU'RE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR VIBRATES REALLY BAD SOMETIMES YOU CAN STEP ON THE BRAKE LET OFF OF IT AND STEP BACK ON IT AND RPMS WILL GO UP BUT SOMETIMES THE RPMS WILL DROP DOWN TO BELOW 600 THAT'S WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS VIBRATING REAL BAD. I'VE TRIED TO GET THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES THEY ENDED UP TELL THEM IT WAS AN AFTERMARKET MOTOR MOUNT IT WAS NOT A NISSAN PART SO I CHANGED IT FOR A GENUINE NISSAN PART THEY CHARGE ME OVER $600 AND IT DID NOT FIX THE CAR IT'S STILL VIBRATED. WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT SOMEWHERE THE CAR RUNS PERFECT THE RPMS ARE FINE AND THERE'S NO VIBRATION WHATSOEVER BUT AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT INTO DRIVE IT STARTS VIBRATING. IT HAS ALSO ALMOST WENT DEAD SEVERAL TIMES TO OVER THE LAST YEAR I JUST STARTED KNOCKING , SPUTTERING REAL BAD AND IT ALMOST GOES DEAD AND SHUTS THE MOTOR OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT RED LIGHTS FOR PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOTS ON CITY STREETS. IT'S ALMOST GONE DEAD JUST SITTING AT THE RED LIGHT WHEN THE CAR STARTS SPUTTERING.

I FINALLY HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND THE NISSAN ONLY MECHANIC SAID MY 2015 NISSAN VERSA IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR A THIRD TIME AT MOSSY NISSAN HOUSTON, TX. ITS EXTREMELY NOT FAIR. NISSAN MANUFACTURE FAIL TO PROVIDE 100% OF REPAIR COST AND REFUSE TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PAIN AND SUFFERING THEIR TERRIBLE CAR TRANSMISSION CAUSE ME. MANY PEOPLE AND TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS KNOWS NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT GOOD. YOU CAN REPLACE A NISSAN TRANSMISSION TODAY AND THE SAME YEAR OR NEXT YEAR YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. ITS EXTREMELY NOT FAIR WHAT NISSAN MANUFACTURER & DEALERSHIP DID. II REPLACED THE FIRST TRANSMISSION AT 37,000 MILES IN YEAR 2 OF OWNING MY CAR , AT 42,000 OR 50,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTS GOING BAD. AND YEAR 3 AT 93,000 I HAVE TO REPLACED AGAIN. THAT IS A MAJOR HIGHWAY SAFETY HAZARD. THE REASON I DID NOT HAVE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH THIS CAR I STRONGLY BELIEVE, IS BECAUSE I PRAYED EVERYDAY WHEN I START DRIVING FOR JEHOVAH GOD TO PROTECT ME, NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, AND NOT TO KILL ANYONE WITH THIS CAR. SO EVERY 30,000 MILES OR EVERY YEAR YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON A NISSAN VERSA DEPENDING HOW MUCH YOU DRIVE FOR THE YEAR.. I HAD TO DEAL WITH EXTREME STRESS BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL 3 TIMES.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASE THE NISSAN VERSA 2015 IN SEPT. 2015, THE CAR WAS USED IT HAD 15,000 MILES ON IT. I TEST DROVE IT A LITTLE BIT WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE IT OFF I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING UP BEFORE I GOT OFF THE STOCKTON DEALERSHIP. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY TEST DROVE IT. THEY SAID YES THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND REPLACE IT. NOW, I AM THINKING BACK, THE DEALERSHIP KNEW THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP CONVINCED ME TO GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM THINKING WHY IS A BRAND NEW CAR WITH 15,000 MILES ON IT.. SO, IT TOOK ABOUT A MONTH TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND IT DROVE OK. THEN IN 2017, I NOTICED A SMALL SLIPPING NOISE, LIKE A SMALL DRUMROLL EVERY NOW AND THEN. THEN FINALLY I TOOK THE CAR TO OAKLAND DEALERSHIP IN 2017 AROUND 88,000 MILES. THEY COULDN'T LOCATE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OR NOISE. IN A FEW DAYS, I PICK UP THE CAR AND AS SOON AS I DROVE IT I HEAR THE SLIPPING DRUMROLL SOUND. I TOOK IT BACK AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID WE TESTED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE. I WAS DISCOURAGED WITH THE RESULTS, NOW IT JAN 2019, MANY MONTHS LATER, AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND EXPIRED WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, MORE FREQUENT LOUD DRUMROLL NOISE AND SHAKING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. I LOOKED IT UP ON GOOGLE AND I NOTICED THAT NISSAN DOUBLED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THEIR TRANSMISSION. TODAY, I WENT TO THE OAKLAND DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY NISSAN VERSA IS NOT UNDER THAT EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOW CAN THIS BE? THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND FAILURES ABOUT THE NISSAN TRANSMISSION. NISSAN AND DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE VERSA. RIGHT NOW, I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE STREET BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL AN ANY GIVEN TIME AND DRIVING CONDITION. PLEASE RECALL ALL NISSAN VERSA AND HAVE THE COMPANY FIX THIS RECURRING TRANSMISSION ISSUE.

I BOUGHT THIS VERSA BRAND NEW AT THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER A YEAR FROM THE PURCHASE DATE THE DEALER WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AND WAS BOUGHT OUT. THE FIRST YEAR I HAD IT I CAME IN OFTEN WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING AND TO GIVE IT MORE GAS WHEN IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS HAVING TROUBLES. EVERYTIME I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE, EVEN MY FIRST OIL CHANGE, THEY WOULD COME BACK WITH 600 DOLLARS WORTH OF FILTERS OR THE BRAKE FLUID NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. I QUIT GOING THERE FOR MY CAR, BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT PRESSURE TO SPEND MONEY ON ISSUES I WASNT HAVING. THEY NEVER WANTED TO LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION OR ANYTHING. NOW AFTER 65K THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED, MY RUNNING TAILLIGHTS DO NOT WORK, SOME UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, AND THE CAR JUST TURNS OFF ON IT'S OWN WITH NO WARNING. BEFORE THE TRANNY WENT OUT I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH A SEMI, THE DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO FIX THAT PROBLEM BC IT CAN NOT REPLICATED. THAT'S THEIR ANSWER TO ANY PROBLEM THAT'S NOT EXPENSIVE OR QUICK. IF IT CAN NOT BE REPLICATED THEN YOUR LYING AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT ALL VERSA'S SOLD WOULD NEED A NEW TRANNY AFTER 40K. NOW NISSAN NORTH AMERICA NOR THE DEALER WANTS TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES. I NEED HELP GETTING THIS RESOLVED SOON.

2015 NISSAN VERSA NOTE SV SUFFERS FROM FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT LIGHT UP THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. CONSEQUENTLY, WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS WORKING, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL ALSO ILLUMINATE AND CAUSE THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM TO BE DISABLED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. FIRST, FAILURE TO ILLUMINATE THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN BRAKING WILL FAIL TO ALERT DRIVERS THAT YOU ARE STOPPING AND PUTS YOU AT RISK FOR A REAR END COLLISION. SECOND, THE TRACTION CONTROL ALSO BECOMES DISABLED, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT YOU LOSE TRACTION, THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER ASSIST WITH DRIVING STABILITY. WORSE CASE, YOU ARE REAR ENDED DUE TO THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT ILLUMINATING AND THEN YOUR CAR LOSES TRACTION DUE TO THE IMPACT, YOU TRACTION CONTROL IS ALSO DISABLED, THEREFORE YOU ARE AT AN EVEN HIGHER RISK FOR INJURY. THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED BY SIMPLE REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH SENSOR THAT SITS BEHIND THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT IS A 1 MINUTE JOB JUST TO UNSCREW THE OLD SENSOR AND SCREW IN THE NEW ONE. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, ALTHOUGH MINOR, DUE TO THE BRAKE LIGHT NOT TURNING ON. THE DRIVER BEHIND ME REAR ENDED ME, POSSIBLY DUE TO KNOWING I WAS BRAKING UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. I HAVE NOTICED THROUGH MY REAR VIEW MIRROR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHERE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WOULD BRAKE VIOLENTLY. I FINALLY REALIZED IT WAS DUE TO MY BRAKE LAMP SWITCH NOT ALWAYS WORKING. KEEP IN MIND, MY VEHICLE NEVER WARNED ME ABOUT MY TAIL LIGHT BEING OUT. TECHNICALLY, IT WOULDN'T, SINCE THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS ARE FINE. THE SWITCH FAILING DID NOT ALERT ME WHEN THE BRAKE LAMPS ARE NOT ILLUMINATING. I REPLACED THE PART FOR $68.36 WITH A GENUINE PART FROM NISSAN DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM AND NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. THE CAR IS BARELY TWO YEARS OLD, THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

OUR CAR WAS TRAVELING IN A VERY SLOW SPEED ON AN ON-RAMP OF INTERCHANGE FROM FREEWAY 110 NORTH BOUND TO 105 WEST BOUND IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY. THE TRAFFIC FLOW WAS IN A VERY SLOW MOVING FASHION. SINCE IT WAS AN UPHILL ON RAMP, I HAD TO STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL SLIGHTLY TO KEEP THE CAR MOVING AT A SLOW BUT STEADY SPEED. AS THE TRAFFIC GOT SLOWER, I GENTLY STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR. WHILE I WAS HOLDING DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL, SUDDENLY I HEARD A "CLUNK" NOISE AND FELT A VIBRATION. AT THIS POINT, THE CAR STARTED MOVING ON ITS OWN WITHOUT A SIGN OF SLOWING DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO STEP ON BRAKE WITH FULL FORCE BUT FELT THE BRAKE HAVING NO PRESSURE AT ALL. AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH UNCONTROLLED SPEED, THE ONLY THING I COULD DO AT THAT MOMENT WAS TO VEER THE CAR TOWARDS THE RIGHT EDGE TO AVOID DIRECT IMPACT WITH THE FRONT CAR. BY READING THE OWNER'S MANUAL, I BELIEVED THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM FUNCTION WAS BEING ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT SINCE THE DRY AND NON-SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITION DID NOT WARRANT SUCH ACTIVATION. AND WHAT MADE THINGS EVEN WORSE WAS, FOR WHATEVER THE REASON, THE CAR WAS MOVING ON ITS OWN IN AN UNCONTROLLED SPEED WHILE THE BREAK PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY LOSING THE PRESSURE DUE TO THE ABS ACTIVATION. THIS VEHICLE WAS BEING RECALLED AND SERVICED FOR SUDDEN ACCELERATION SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE LOWER PANEL TRIM DESIGN IN AUGUST. THE LIABILITY INSURANCE CLAIM WAS FILED FOR THE ACCIDENT.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AT SPEEDS 40MPH AND ABOVE, THE CAR DOES NOT STAY IN THE LANE. THIS CAR IS CONTINUOUSLY PULLING TO THE LEFT OUT OF THE LANE TOWARDS CARS IN THE MIDDLE LANE, WITH NO CONTROL TO CORRECT, THEN PUSHED TO THE RIGHT OUT OF LANE, BACK AND FORTH MY WHOLE RIDE WITH NO SUBSIDING. THE ISSUE AT TIMES ESCALATES BY GETTING OUT OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON ANY ROAD, GOING BACK AND FORTH LEFT TO RIGHT VERY FAST AND SHORT BY ITSELF WITH THE STEERING WHEEL CENTERED. FOR THIS ISSUE I'M NEEDING TO WAIT FOR THE CORRECTION AND SLOW DOWN THE CAR. THE FRONT TIRES ARE CONTINUOUSLY GETTING THROWN OUT OF ALIGNMENT AS SOON AS I DRIVE IT FOLLOWING SERVICING. I HAVE HAD 4 SERVICE APPOINTMENTS FOR ALIGNMENTS AND BALANCING WITHIN A 2 WEEK TIME FRAME, REPLACED TIRES, AND BROUGHT TO NISSAN DIRECTLY FOR A DIAGNOSIS WITH NO CHANGE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE ALIGNMENT IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, WHEN A CAR OR ANY VEHICLE DRIVES BY MY CAR ON ANY ROAD, MORE SEVERE ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR IS PUSHED ACROSS MY LANE AND THERE IS NO WINDY CONDITIONS. THIS DOES OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOCAL STREETS. IT IS ALSO APPARENTLY VISIBLE TO OTHER DRIVERS AS I SEE CARS FROM BEHIND ME MOVE TO THE MIDDLE LANE, SPEED UP AND PASS ME IN THE FAR LEFT OF THEIR LANE, THEN CUT ME OFF.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 65MPH AND OVER THE CAR SHIFTS RIGHT AND LEFT AS IF WIND IS BLOWING THE CAR ON BOTH SIDES. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW AND WAS PURCHASED WITH 10 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IN MAY OF 2015. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN WAS CONTACTED BY ME AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEALERSHIP. NISSAN HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEMS IS A NORMAL CONDITION FOR THIS MODEL AND THEREFORE NO FIX OR SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT WHEN DRIVING AT OVER 65 MILES PER HOUR YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THE STEERING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE SHIFTING. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT SPARKS/NISSAN IN MONROE LOUISIANA STATES THAT THE MODEL IS A NORMAL SITUATION. IF THIS IS TRUE THEN WHY HAS THE SALES STAFF NOT INFORMED THE CUSTOMERS THAT A SITUATION COULD EXIST? THE CAR SHOULD BE DEEMED A SAFETY HAZARD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS UNDER NORMAL CITY LOW SPEED DRIVING THE CONDITION IS NOT NOTICED.
