i have a recall for airbag, i made appointment with dealership. on August 16 2023, went to the appointment and it took 4h to replace and they gave me a report that its been fixed, they replaced both driver and passenger side airbag, and the airbag light is off (attached picture of report) when i took the car i noticed the airbag light is still on. i went back and told them the issue and they retook the car for inspection. i waited another 1h and they brought me an invoice that there is a cable from airbag to the car, this needs to be replaced and it cost 400$ without tax and without labor. my complain is that they pretended to replace and fix the airbag and they made sure there is no light on. upon taking the car i noticed it wasn't true. now they demand money for repair. i believe the dealership is not going to remedy the recall without charging

SUSPENSION
58 complaints
I found a piece of a broken coil spring in my driveway (where multiple cars are parked) in NJ. A quick visual inspection of all the vehicles typically parked near that area did not show any sitting uneven or any obvious evidence of any with problems. A few weeks later, after driving approx 1000 miles on my nissan, I noticed that the front suspension seemed shorter and quicker to bottom-out. This was obvious when rolling over speed humps. Another, more in-depth inspection of the front springs revealed an unseated spring on the left front. The spring appears to have slipped off or through the bottom cup and is not centered on the strut. After looking the vehicle up on NHTSA site this appears to be related to Manufacturer Recall NumberPM565. The NJ vehicle is currently in NC. I plan to take it to a Nissan dealer to have the recall work performed.

2008 NISSAN VERSA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FRONT COIL SPRING AND STRUTS DAMAGES DUE TO CORROSION. CONSUMER SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FOR FRONT COIL SPRINGS RECALL REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE COIL SPRINGS WERE ON RECALL, BUT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. BOTH OF THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS AND STRUTS BROKE DUE TO CORROSION. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. SINCE THE PARTS USED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE NOT REPLACED WITH NISSAN PARTS, THE RECALL COULD NOT BE CLOSED. THEREFORE, THE CONSUMER COULD NOT BE REIMBURSED. THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED HAVING THE PARTS REPLACED WITH NISSAN PARTS. DOING THIS, THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO INCUR THE EXPENSES OF THE STRUTS BEING REPLACED SINCE, THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE SPRINGS. UPDATED 08/23/2017*JS

THE LOWER FRONT CONTROL ARM ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHICH HOLDS THE FRONT WHEEL ON THE FRAME BROKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PART LETTING THE FRONT WHEEL LOOSE FROM THE CAR. A SMALL PORTION OF METAL THAT DID NOT BREAK HELD THE TIRE ON. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENED. THE PERSON DRIVING WAS ON A MAIN ROAD IN A MAJOR U.S., CITY. THE FRONT TIRE HAD RUBBED AGAINST THE FRONT PLASTIC BUMPER AND ACTUALLY PEALED SOME OF IT OFF. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM HAS BEEN REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE AND IS IN MY POSSESSION. THE REPLACEMENT WAS DONE BY A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC CLAIMS IT IS A NISSAN PART.

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. RECENTLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH LOSING POWER AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF DRIVING. THE PROBLEM STARTED AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS, THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER AND ONLY GO ABOUT 20 MPH. IF ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED, THE CAR WOULD STALL OUT COMPLETELY. AFTER TWO VISITS TO NISSAN DEALERS, THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I AM AFRAID TO TAKE THIS CAR ON ANY EXTENDED TRIPS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR THE GAS MILEAGE...NOW HAVING TO TAKE ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR SAFETY. *TR

WE TOO HAD A PROBLEM WITH OUR 2008 VERSA. WE HAD AN ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND SO WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN AT 22,000 MILES. THEY SAID WE HAD NO OIL CHANGES EXCEPT ONE. WE ARGUED THE POINT AND GOT NO WHERE. THEY STATED WE HAD NO OIL. WE SAID WHERE DID IT GO -- THEY DIDN'T KNOW! TALKED TO THE MANAGER AND GOT NOWHERE AT BUCKEYE NISSAN. HE PROMISED TO TALK TO CORPORATE AND WE GOT NOWHERE AGAIN. THAT WAS CLEAR BACK IN MARCH OF 2010. SO MUCH FOR WARRANTIES. THEY WANTED TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE AT $4,500 ON A 2 YEAR OLD CAR. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN NOR WORK WITH A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT. WE HAVE HAD OTHER CARS IN WHICH THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD THEIR OIL CHANGES AND RETIRED THESE CARS AT 200,000+ MILES. WE PRESENTLY HAVE A 1999 DODGE RAM AND IT HAS 283,000+ MILES AND STILL RUNNING. AND....THEY SAID "WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAINTAIN OUR VEHICLES." OUR SECOND-HAND FORD EXPLORER SUV HAD 243,000 WHEN WE SOLD IT. AND OUR OTHER DODGE WHICH WAS RETIRED TO THE JUNK YARD HAD CLOSE TO 220,000 MILES. OUR OLD VEHICLES USUALLY HAD TRANSMISSIONS GO OUT AND THAT IS THE REASON WE WENT WITH THE VERSA BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY ON THEIR TRANSMISSION. WHEN WE HAD IT IN FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT, THEIR STORY CHANGED 3 TIMES ON WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND FINALLY ENDED UP WITH THE ENGINE. NO BIG DEAL -- ONLY $4,500 ON A VEHICLE LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD. NOW I'M DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT DRIVES WORSE THAN ANY OF OUR 15 YEAR OLD CARS EVER DID, OIL NEEDING CHANGED CONSTANTLY, DIP STICK COMING OUT ON OCCASION AND SPRAYING OIL EVERYWHERE, AND NOW STALLING OUT!. WHEN AIR-CONDITIONER IS RUN -- PUTS A FILM ON WINDOW WHICH FOGS UP. WHAT NEXT. SO MUCH FOR OUR FIRST NEW CAR IN YEARS AND DRIVING OUR GRANDCHILDREN AROUND SAFELY FOR SCHOOL. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED NOR UPSET WITH A COMPANY AS I HAVE WITH THIS COMPANY AND STANDING BEHIND THEIR WARRANTIES. AND EVEN MORE SO WITH NO RESPONSE BACK. I DON'T THINK THE MANAGER EVEN CHECKED WITH CORPORATE! *TR

TRIED STARTING THE CAR; ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. WAS STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT CLOSE TO MY MECHANIC'S SHOP AND CALLED HIM.

NEEDS NEW FUEL PUMP JUST THREE DAYS IN. NEVER HAD PROBLEM WITH VERSA EVER AND THEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN LEFT ME ON ROAD. THREE TOP MECHANICS ARE CONFUSED WHY MY 2008 ALREADY NEEDS A FUEL PUMP. THEY SAID THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE BROKEN AND THE PART IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO ORDER BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE BROKEN THREE YEARS IN. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER FIRST AND THEY SAID I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP AND THEY DECLINED TO MENTION WHY OR HOW IT COULD HAPPENED. THEY SEEM LIKE THEY KNOW SOMETHING AND WONT SHARE. *TR

I WAS NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS AND MENTIONED IT TO MY MECHANIC WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. MECHANIC FELT IT WAS RELATED TO THE AXLE. MY HUSBAND NOTICED THE NOISE WHEN DRIVING MY CAR AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC. MECHANIC HAD TO ORDER A NEW NISSAN AXLE FOR THE CAR. THE COST OF THE PART AND THE LABOR TO REPLACE IT WAS AT MY EXPENSE. THE MECHANIC SAID HE WAS GOING TO RETURN THE DAMAGED PART TO NISSAN BECAUSE HE FELT IT WAS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING BECAUSE THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON A 5 YEAR OLD CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. *TR

THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSIONS ON NISSANS ARE UNSAFE. FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, OUR NISSAN VERSA WOULD BRIEFLY LOSE POWER WHEN WE STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL, BUT IT ONLY HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY AND TEMPORARILY. THEN ON JULY 15, IT GOT MUCH WORSE. WE COULD BARELY DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT WOULD CONSTANTLY LOSE POWER. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN WE STARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED AS WE WERE TRYING TO DRIVE THE CAR A COUPLE OF BLOCKS ON THE CITY STREETS. I AM THANKFUL THAT WE WERE NOT ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE CAUSED A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. WE LEARNED LATER THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR WAS TRYING TO START IN A HIGH GEAR INSTEAD OF A LOW GEAR. OUR 2008 NISSAN VERSA IS 6 WEEKS PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION. DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE ARE BELOW THE MILEAGE REQUIREMENT OF THE WARRANTY AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS LIKELY BEEN GIVING US PROBLEMS FOR YEARS, NISSAN WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD BE ORDERING A RECALL ON THE CVT TECHNOLOGY, ESPECIALLY FOR THE OLDER MODELS. THEY KNOW THE TECHNOLOGY IS FLAWED AND UNSAFE, THAT'S WHY THEY CREATED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. BUT IF YOU'RE JUST OUT OF THAT WARRANTY PERIOD, THEY WON'T HELP YOU OUT AS A CONSUMER. IF THEY PUBLICIZED THE CVT PROBLEM AND ORDERED A RECALL, THEY WOULD PREVENT HAVING UNSAFE CARS ON THE ROAD.

THIS CAR WAS BROUGHT INTO THE SHOP WITH 120,807 MILES AND THE COMPLAINT WAS IT WOULD NOT GO. MANY TRANSMISSION CODES FOUND AND TRANSMISSION FLUID VERY BLACK IN COLOR. HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION DO TO THE FACT THAT NO ONE WILL REBUILD THIS CVT TRANSMISSION. A GOOD DESIGNED TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 121,000 MILES WITH WHAT THEY COST.

MY TIRE SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY AND USUALLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER I GO TO GET SERVICE OF SOME NATURE. IT WAS ON WITHIN DAYS AFTER MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE. I AM DILIGENT ABOUT CHECKING AIR PRESSURE IT IS ALWAYS WRONG. RECENTLY, MY TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A HUGE HOLE/GASH. I REPLACED 2 AND PUT THEM ON THE FRONT. I NOTICED MY DRIVERS SIDE TIRE ALWAYS LOOKED FLAT AND WHEN I WENT TO CHECK IT, THE METAL COVER WAS CORRODED AND REQUIRED PLIERS TO GET IT OFF. WELL SURE ENOUGH, THE ENTIRE TOP BROKE OFF LEAVING THE TIRE STEM EXPOSED. TOOK IT TO THE PLACE WHO PUT ON THE NEW TIRES AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SENSOR. NOW I AM CONSTANTLY FILLING THE TIRES REGARDLESS OF TEMP AND NOW I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THIS SENSOR THAT IS CLEARLY NOT WORKING. MY FEAR IS THAT THE GASH IN MY TIRE HAPPENED AS A RESULT OF THE SENSOR. WAS IT ON AND I IGNORED IT BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS WRONG? OR WORSE YET, DID THE DAMAGE COME FROM INSIDE? I AM NOT SURE BUT I CAN TELL YOU I WILL NEVER REPLACE ONE AGAIN. IT IS SAD THAT SOMETHING THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE A SAFETY FEATURE ENDS UP BEING IGNORED BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS WRONG. MY DAUGHTER JUST STARTED DRIVING AND I EVEN TOLD HER TO IGNORE IT. THAT IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO START OFF DEALING WITH CARS. THANKFULLY NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR CPO AND THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS NEVER BLOWN COLD AIR. IT BLOWS ACCORDING TO THE CONTROLS, BUT THE AIR IS NEVER COLD. EVERY SUMMER I HAVE TO HAVE IT SERVICED. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT SEVERAL THINGS HAVE BEEN WRONG WITH IT OR CAUSE THAT. SOMETIMES I'M TOLD IT'S SOMETHING NEW, AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED IN THE PAST IS AGAIN/STILL WRONG WITH IT, CAUSING THIS. I'VE REPEATEDLY HAD IT SERVICED ONCE A YEAR (USUALLY IN SUMMER) SINCE PURCHASED. I'VE HAD IT CHARGED, FREON, HOSES REPAIRED, ETC. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS A MAJOR FAULT IN THIS CAR FOR ITS MODEL YEAR. THERE ARE MANY NISSAN VERSA DRIVERS FOR YEARS 2008 AND 09 IN MANY NISSAN DRIVER ONLINE FORUMS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. I'M CONVINCED THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR SERVICE AGAIN THIS YEAR, ALTHOUGH THE A/C STILL DEFINITELY DOESN'T BLOW COLD AIR AT THE MOMENT. I THINK THESE MODELS SHOULD BE RECALLED.

OUTER DOOR HANDLE ON PASSENGER SIDE CAME OFF.DEALER FIXED IT AND I PAID FOR REPAIR. HANDLE CAME ODD 4 DAYS LATER.I RETURNED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD A PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT IS BROKEN AND THE ADDITIONAL CHARGE WOULD BE 350.00. I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF WHEN I FIRST WENT TO DEALER. I AM REQUESTING THE HANDLE BE REPLACED BY DEALER NO CHARGE SINCE IT WAS NOT PROPERLY REPAIRED WHEN I FIRST TOOK IT IN.THAT PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WHEN THEY INITIALLY SO FIXED IT.

I FILED A REPORT ON CARCOMPLAINTS AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO FILE ONE HERE AS WELL. WHILE DRIVING IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND IT OBSTRUCTS VISIBILITY. I'VE HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED (FACTORY GLASS WAS CHIPPED AND I GOT A NEW ONE), AND THE GLARE IS STILL INTENSE. NO MATTER HOW DUSTY I LET THE DASHBOARD GET, THE REFLECTION IS ALWAYS THERE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT (USUALLY DRIVING EAST OR WEST). IT'S ANNOYING, EVEN THOUGH I DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE I LOVE MY CAR. IS THERE ANYTHING NISSAN CAN DO?!?!??!?!?!?!? I REALLY DON'T WANT TO CRASH BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE THROUGH THE REFLECTION AS WELL AS ONE SHOULD. *TR

I TRIED STARTING MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO TRY IT MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVENTUALLY AFTER ABOUT 8 TRIES IT DID. THIS OCCURRED FOR THE FIRST IN JUNE 2012 BUT I THOUGHT NOTHING WOULD BE WRONG WITH A CAR THAT IS WAS ONLY ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD. AFTER IT OCCURRED A COUPLE MORE TIMES IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, I BROUGHT IT IN TO BE TESTED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TESTED IT AND FOUND NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE ISSUE CONTINUED AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 2013 AND I BROUGHT IT IN TO BE TESTED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WAS DETERMINED THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND INFORMATION STATING THAT NISSAN NEW THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE BUT DID NOTHING TO INFORM ME OF THE PROBLEM, THE SERVICE BULLETIN IS DATED SEPTEMBER 18, 2009. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW ON APRIL 24, 2008 BUT NISSAN MADE NOT ATTEMPT TO NOTIFY ME OF THE POSSIBLE FAULTY PART THEY HAD INSTALLED. A RECALL OF THE PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO REPLACE THE PART THAT THEY KNEW WAS DEFECTIVE. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW THAT THIS PART IS OUT OF WARRANTY LEAVING ME TO PAY FOR IT. I VERY MUCH LIKED MY NISSAN BUT AFTER BEING TREATED LIKE THIS, I DON'T SEE MYSELF EVER GETTING ANOTHER ONE AFTER THE HORRIBLE TREATMENT I RECEIVED. *TR

ON JANUARY 26, 2015, I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL WHEN A DRIVER AT LEAST 2 CAR DISTANCES IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP WHICH CAUSED ME TO PUT ON MY BRAKES SO THAT I WILL HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO STOP AT A GOOD ENOUGH DISTANCE SO THAT I DO NOT HIT THEM. HOWEVER, AFTER DOING SO MY CAR KEPT SLIDING AND I WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING AND THE CAR STILL HIT THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. WE ALL LEFT THE SCENE IN AN AMBULANCE. I DO NOT KNOW THE STATUS OF THE OTHER DRIVER, BUT I AM SUFFERING FROM SEVERE BACK PAIN, SOME NECK PAIN AND I HAVE HEADACHES. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE CHECKED BEFORE SOMEONE ENDS OF DYING. I AM GLAD THAT NO ONE WAS KILLED IN THIS ACCIDENT.

I WAS MERGING FROM THE LH TO THE RH LANE ON AN INTERSECTION WHEN MY CAR WAS HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY AN ON-COMING PICK-UP TRUCK. AT THE TIME OF THE COLLISION I WAS STRUCK ON THE RH SIDE OF MY HEAD BY THE CAR'S RADIO WHICH WAS APPARENTLY DIS-ENGAGED FROM THE CAR'S INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WAS THE ONLY PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE, WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY HEAD INJURY WAS TREATED ON-SITE BY AN EMS UNIT AND I WAS TRANSFERRED TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL WHERE I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CONCUSSION. ON 8/13/2014 MY CAR WAS TRANSFERRED TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER (WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) FOR INSPECTION BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. AT THE DEALERSHIP THE RADIO ISSUE WAS COMMUNICATED BY MY HUSBAND TO TO THE DEALERSHIP COLLISION MANAGER, A DEALERSHIP SALESMAN AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY ADJUSTOR. THE ADJUSTOR AND MY HUSBAND TOOK PHOTOS OF THE EXPELLED RADIO THAT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED BROKEN PLASTIC ASSEMBLY/LATCH TABS. THE RADIO AND PHOTO WAS SHOWN TO THE NISSAN SALESMAN. THE COMMENT FROM THE DEALERSHIP COLLISION MANAGER TO MY HUSBAND WAS "HE SEES THIS ALL THE TIME WITH NISSANS" AS THE RADIO IS NOT BOLTED AND CAN BECOME DISENGAGED WHEN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS COMPRESSED. MY HUSBAND COMMUNICATED THIS INCIDENT TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER AFFAIRS (FILE NUMBER 15337234). ON AUGUST 19, 2014 THEY RESPONDED "BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND THE MILEAGE OF THE SUBJECT VEHICLE, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. FINDS THAT AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT NECESSARY." IN MY OPINION THIS RESPONSE IS NOT A SATISFACTORY ANSWER TO A POTENTIAL DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ISSUE RESULTING IN A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. WE HAVE A NISSAN VERSA 2008 AND WE RECEIVED 2 LETTERS ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL. WE JUST MOVED TO NEW JERSEY ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. MY BOYFRIEND DANIIL WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN EDISON AND THEY REFUSED HIM A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE HE IS NOT 21 YEARS OLD. WE ARE 20. I THOUGHT THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE, IT'S A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, THEY CAN'T JUST REFUSE IT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 21. WHAT DOES AGE HAVE TO DO WITH OUR SAFETY? THE FOLLOWING MORNING, ME AND MY BOYFRIEND DROVE TO THE ROUTE 33 NISSAN IN HAMILTON, NJ. A LADY NAMED MCKAYLA DID THE PAPERWORK FOR US, EVERYTHING WAS SET AND THEN SHE SAID "OH WAIT YOU'RE NOT 21 YET, I CAN'T LOAN YOU A CAR." SHE SAID TO CALL THE SERVICE ASSIST LINE TO FURTHER ASSIST US. SO WE CALLED THE LINE, AND TURNS OUT THE GUY THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TALK TO DOESN'T WORK ON THE WEEKENDS. SO IF THE AIRBAGS WOULD'VE WENT OFF DURING THE WEEKEND AND WE DIED, THEN WHAT? I CALLED MCKAYLA ON MONDAY AND SHE TOLD US IF WE COULD FIND A COMPANY THAT WOULD RENT US THE CAR, NISSAN WOULD PAY FOR IT. SO I CALLED HERTZ IN NEW YORK SINCE THEIR LEGAL AGE TO RENT A CAR IS 18, AND THEY AGREED TO RENT US A CAR BUT NISSAN REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT SINCE IT WAS OUT OF STATE. IF NISSAN SCREWED UP WITH THESE RECALLS, THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND PAY THE NECESSARY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. WE WENT BACK TO THE ROUTE 33 NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WENT TO THE SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE TO SPEAK TO HIM. HE SAID THERE'S NOTHING HE CAN DO FOR US BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 21. LAST TIME I CHECKED, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BE 21 TO OWN A NISSAN. LAST TIME I CHECKED, THERE WAS NOWHERE IN THE PAPERWORK WHEN BUYING A NISSAN THAT STATES: "IN THE CASE OF A RECALL, IF YOU'RE NOT 21 AND OVER YOU WILL BE LEASED A LOANER CAR TILL WE FIX YOUR CAR" SO THEN WHY IS THIS SUCH AN ISSUE? I'M SO SCARED THAT ON OUR WAY TO WORK OR ON OUR WAY HOME THE AIR BAGS WILL GO OFF AND WE WILL DIE.

Traffic stopped suddenly when I hit my brakes they failed to work and the airbags didn’t work either so I ended up hitting my head on the roof of the car when I ran into the truck that suddenly stopped in front of me at speed of about 50mph. I don’t feel good but have no way to get medical attention right now. And was just released from having some head trauma the day before the accident. My car was totaled in the accident so I don’t need additional recall information on it, and no insurance to fix it so now I don’t have any way to get a new car.

I park the Nissa Versa and I smell an over heating odor a lightly dense smoke appears over the hood. A thought comes to mind, “I just went to Jiffy Lube last week.” Suddenly two people are running towards yelling, “Fire, get out of the car.” I couldn’t believe it I was at a loss for words I couldn’t move until they literally opened the door. I started recording it. It’s insane I loved that car, it was payed off and it still looked nice. -it gets worse They tow the car to North Shore Towing. I report it to my insurance and the appraiser that attempted to see the car was not allowed access because I didn’t sign a release form so I go to the towing place and sign the release form. The appraiser goes for the second time and is refused entrance. Weeks went by so I call the insurance which informs me of the previous two failed entries to North Shore Towing. I ask the staff male on the phone why he didn’t allow the insurance agent entry to inspect vehicle I had signed the release form. The staff male literally laughs at me on over the phone. You want to know what component? Inspection? And today my friend mentions his car has been recalled and light bulb went on and here I am asking for your help. I have videos witnesses Also I have proof that of the signed document to release the car to insurance agent

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED LAST SUMMER ABOUT A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG AND WAS TOLD NOT TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE POTENTIALLY FATAL FLAW. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I HAVE A FAMILY THAT NEEDS RIDES. I CONTACTED THE DEALER RECENTLY AND WAS TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND THAT NISSAN WASN'T ALLOWING THEM TO ORDER THE PARTS. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY TELL ME THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL SOME TIME IN 2017. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE RISK AND ARE NOT EXPEDITING THIS REPAIR TO BE PERFORMED. THEY BASICALLY GIVE ME THE IMPRESSION THEY DON'T CARE AND THEY ARE NOT IN A HURRY TO GET THIS DONE. I EXPECTED THIS POTENTIAL FATAL FLAW IN THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED ASAP NOT WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE EXPEDITED BECAUSE IF ANYTHING DOES OCCUR AND THEIR IS INJURY OR DEATH IT IS ON YOU AND NISSAN FOR NOT GETTING THIS TAKEN CARE OF IN A VERY TIMELY MANNER. I ALSO HAVE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM WHICH I UNDERSTAND NOW IS A FEDERAL REGULATION TO HAVE EQUIPPED ON VEHICLES. THIS SYSTEM IS VERY FAULTY AND DOES NOT WORK AND EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR.

MY WIFE WAS MAKING RIGHT HAND TURN, ENTERING A HIGHWAY, SHE LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT THEN VEERED TO THE RIGHT. SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT INCIDENT AND PARKED ON THE SHOULDER. HAD CAR TOWED TO GARAGE, MECHANIC INSPECTED SUSPENSION AND STEERING, AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. H STATED HE WENT ON LINE AND DISCOVERED SOME STEERING ISSUES. HOWEVER, HE STATED, BECAUSE IT HAS AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM, RESETTING THE SYSTEM BY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE SHOULD SOLVE THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM (AS IT WAS STATED ON THE FORUM). THIS IS RIDICULOUS WHEN YOU ARE GOING 60 MPH AND GOING BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE ROAD. I WENT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HE STATED HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

EXHAUST SYSTEM HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH 2 SEPARATE FAILURES REQUIRING A WELD JOB IN ORDER TO REPAIR. I HAVE COMPLETED ONE AT THE COST OF $200 AND THE SECOND WELD ESTIMATE IS PRICED AT $200. BOTH INSTANCES CAME ON SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT OTHER WARNING. EXHAUST SMELL OCCURS WHEN CAR FIRST STARTS AND DISAPATES AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MILES. EACH OCCURRED AT SEPARATE TIMES. BOTH FRONT BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN NOTED BY MY MECHANIC AS BEING LOOSER AND INDICATES NEEDING REPLACEMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE IN ORDER TO AVOID POTENTIALLY FATAL COLLISION OR SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION, STEERING, ETC., SYSTEMS.

STOPPED ON OUR WAY HOME FROM A SMALL TRIP AND REFUELED THE VERSA. NOTICED A SMALL DRIP COMING FROM THE GAS TANK. ASSUMED IT WAS COMING FROM AN OVERFLOW TUBE INSIDE THE FUEL FILLER TUBE. THE NEXT DAY WE TOOK THE VERSA TO OUR MECHANIC AND TOLD HIM ABOUT IT. HE INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THE FUEL LEAK COMING FROM THE FUEL PUMP ATTACHED TO THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE LEAK AS HE DESCRIBED IT COMING FROM UNDER THE PLUG IN WHERE THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTS TO PROVIDE POWER TO THE PUMP.UNDER THE PLUG IN WAS A CRACK . THERE WAS ALSO A HOLE THAT APPEARED IN COLOR OF A BURNT MARK TO THE REAR INSIDE CORNER OF THE PLUG IN WALL EXPOSING A METAL STEM GOES TO THE PRONG THAT CONNECTS TO THE WIRING HARNESS. THIS AREA IS ABOVE FUEL TANK SURFACE OR OUTSIDE THE TOP OF THE TANK. HAD THIS SHORTED OUT OR CREATED A SPARK, A POSSIBLE FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION COULD HAVE OCCURRED AND INJURY AND/OR DEATH COULD HAVE OCCURRED TO OCCUPANTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WHEN PUMP WAS REPLACED, I TOOK PICTURES THAT I HOPE YOU CAN RECEIVE. THE BOTTOM SIDE WHERE THE FLOAT ARM ATTACHED TO THE SIDE SLIDING METAL PARTS FOR MEASURING FUEL LEVEL ALSO APPEARED TO HAVE THE BLACKENED BURNT COLOR ON THE WALL AREA OF THE METAL PARTS. I HAVE THE DEFECTED PUMP IN CASE YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHECK IT OUT. I ALSO HAVE NOTIFIED THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER AND SHOWED THEM THE PUMP DEFECT. I'M WANTING TO INFORM YOU OF THIS BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER VERSA OWNERS OUT THERE THAT COULD BE AFFECTED BY THIS. WE WERE LUCKY.

SPENT 2 YEARS IN FLORIDA WITH IT WITHOUT A PROBLEM AND IN THE PAST YEAR I'VE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN.

I'VE COME TO FIND OUT THAT MY MUFFLER HAS BROKEN AT THE FLANGE. APPARENTLY THIS IS COMMON WITH THESE NISSANS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CHANGE IT.

BEFORE THE INCIDENT THE CAR'S BRAKES WORKED FINE AND AFTER THE INCIDENT THEY FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. I TRIED MULTIPLE WAYS TO GET THE BRAKES TO "BITE" BUT ALWAYS GOT A DEAD PEDAL AND NEVER GOT THE CAR TO STOP UNTIL I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT AROUND 20 MPH. THIS CAR HAS SOME FLAWS ON IT THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT INCLUDING THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH DOES NOT RESPOND VERY WELL TO DRIVER INPUT, THE LAZY TRANSMISSION, WHICH HESITATES TOO MUCH AND DEALERS REFUSE TO FIX, THE IGNITION/STARTER, THE FLIMSY BODY THAT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE OUT OF THE SAME MATERIAL AS TOYS AND ITS AXLES THAT CAN'T STAND EXTENSIVE CITY DRIVING. *TR

THE CAR HAS BEGUN TO MAKE A LOUD METAL CLUNKING SOUND AT THE TOP RIGHT SUSPENSION AS WELL AS WHAT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A GRINDING BUT NOT SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE AT THE TIME. THE SOUND GETS WORSE WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL CHANGING SPEEDS, SWITCHING LANES, ON POT HOLES OR AN UNEVEN SURFACE. I TOOK IT TO A FEW DIFFERENT PLACES AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME. WHILE DRIVING WITH A MORE EXPERIENCED MECHANIC HE WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THE SOUND TO BE ISOLATED TO THE RIGHT STRUT AND THE LEFT INNER TIE ROD. HE SAID THAT THE STRUTS ARE USUALLY ONLY REPLACED ONCE IN A CARS LIFETIME SO I AM WONDERING WHY IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SO SOON. I AM WRITING THE COMPLAINT BECAUSE I THINK THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ALL ALONG. THE CAR NEEDS AN ABNORMAL AMOUNT OF REALIGNMENTS AND BRAKE REPLACEMENTS. WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED THE CAR THE ROTORS AND BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE SOMEHOW THEY HAD BEEN INSTALLED BACKWARDS. THE STEERING HAS ALWAYS FELT INSECURE AS WELL AS THE FEELING WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AND THE BRAKES. THE FEELING I HAVE NOW UNDER THE PEDALS WHEN THE SOUND OF THE STRUT MALFUNCTIONING ENGAGES I HAVE FELT ALL ALONG BUT NOT THIS INTENSELY. THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE PARTS USED AS I HAVE SPOKEN TO SO MANY NISSAN OWNERS WHO REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE OF STEERING AND EXHAUST SYSTEM ISSUES ON NISSANS. *TR
