12/27/2021 Nissan Headquarters call and a case number 45372007 given on12/21/21 after speaking with a Sandra while at the Nissan repair location in Rivergate/Madison, TN. call from Nathaniel from Nissan Headquarters in Franklin, TN regarding air bag system. Replacement as part of recall warning light complaint and case filed. Air bag warning light came on 12/19/21, diagnostic 12/21/21 air bag control system needed replacement. Clock spring was replaced October 2019, 15 months after recall issues on Takata air bag system and full replacement completed 7/26/2018. Nissan cannot cover costs due to mileage on car. I noted wanting to have this on record that these issues began after the recall on air bags and replacement in 2018. 615-725-7000 12/31/21 car air bag issue repaired then air bag light would pop on 2 more times, once in January 2022 in which they said they forgot to ‘clear codes” and then in February 2022 when other issues surfaced, another part replaced. Then light pops on again 3/15/2022 and I notified the service advisor with Nissan who’d been helping me and took the car in the following week.I have already paid for repairs to the clock spring in October 2019 between $530-$600 and the repair done 12/31/21 totaling over $1000 which includes the diagnostic fee, parts and labor. $1600 is just the bare minimum of what's been paid out.3/30/2022: Nissan Versa 2010 was dropped off again at Nissan of Rivergate/Hayes Nissan due to air bag warning light coming on again. They are running another diagnostic. This has been a continual and consistent issue since the air bag recall and replacement in July 2018. I have paid for the clock spring to be replaced October 2019 and now other parts and many trips to this Nissan for a “fix.” Which now they are saying I may have to possibly pay again. This is unacceptable and seems that there may be other consumers dealing with this issue. Something is wrong with this recall and replacement causing these issues of safety.

Mar 30, 2022

Air bag light came back on again. Car is back at Nissan of Rivergate in Madison, TN 2/28/2022 for another parts replacement. This again was never an issue until the air bag recall and replacement of 2018. Your tracking number assigned by NHTSA for this issue is 11448887. Air bag recall and replacement July 2018. Repaired in October 2019 after air bag light came back on: clock spring replaced, I paid out of pocket. 2021 air bag light on again: whole other issue with air bag system, I paid out of pocket again. And I have to let them know to make sure parts are put back correctly. Some areas appear to be cracked near windshield due to the work, but I know that will be hard to prove with them. Air bag light came back on-again January 2022, they initially said it was that they didn't reset the sensors. Took car back, they reset. 2/3/22 air bag light came on again now a new part is being worked on 2/28/22. This has been an issue with the airg bag recall.

Feb 28, 2022

Air bag warning light has continued to cause issues/coming on since the recall and replacement of the air bag system in 2018. The air bag warning light has come on in 2019, 2021 and again 2022. All since the air bag recall of Summer 2018. No issues with the air bag system prior to the recall and replacement, but plenty since the replacement. This occurs upon the initial startup of the car.

THE GEAR/SHIFT SELECTOR WON'T ALWAYS GO INTO PARK, DRIVE OR REVERSE CORRECTLY. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN PARK, IT WILL SHOW ON THE SHIFT SELECTOR AND THE DASHBOARD BUT IT'S HARD TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE KEY WILL GET STUCK. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN DRIVE, IT WILL SHOW ON THE SHIFT SELECTOR AND THE DASHBOARD BUT IT WON'T IMMEDIATELY MOVE WHEN THE FOOT IS PUT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE SHIFT SELECTOR HAS TO CONTINUOUSLY BE PLAYED AROUND UNTIL IT WORKS BUT IT ONLY WORKS ON A TEMPORARY BASIS.

THE METAL HEAT SHIELD PLATE SEPARATING MUFFLER AND FUEL TANK (?) IS DETACHED FROM THE BODY OR FRAME BY CORROSION (OF THE SCREWS). IT NOT ONLY MAKE SEVERE RATTLLING NOISE WHENEVER ENGINE RUNS BUT ALSO MAY CAUSE FIRE AND EXPLOSION IF THE PLATE IS COMPLETELY LOST WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVEN ON THE ROAD. THE PLATE IS NOW BARELY HUNG ON THE MUFFLER.

Dec 27, 2015

CARS EXHAUST IS MADE OF VERY POOR METAL. JUST AFTER 4 YEARS MUFFLER RUSTED OFF FROM CONNECTION. REPLACED MUFFLER ON 03/25/14 WITH AFTERMARKET ONE. SPRING OF 2015 I NOTICED EXHAUST NOISE BECAME LOUDER AGAIN. AFTER INSPECTION FOUND THAT MID PIPE RUSTED OFF AT CONNECTION TO MUFFLER, AND ANOTHER LEAK IN CAT CONVERTER SECTION OF EXHAUST. MY VERSA HAS 71K MILES AND NEEDS WHOLE NEW EXHAUST. MY MOM HAS SAME VERSA AND SAME PROBLEMS. I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS IS COINCIDENCE IN MANY FORUMS VERSA OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT SAME PROBLEMS. LOOKS LIKE NISSAN WENT VERY CHEAP ON MATERIALS FOR THIS MODEL CARS. I HAD MANY OTHER MANUFACTURERS VEHICLES AND NONE HAD SAME ISSUES.

POWER TRAIN

5 complaints

The car was having slow acceleration, horrid loud noises for awhile but no issues were found during checks but parts were replaced to try and troubleshoot but the sound and idle and running issues still persisted. The first sign of severe major issue was when the car was started it jolted forward while still in park in a first start up. Turned off the car and restarted it and it repeated the same action and then I put the car into reverse but it wouldn't reverse. Took the car to my local Firestone and they said it had an internal transmission problem and I should take it back to the dealership. Within the month I went to the dealership in person and explained the issue and they said there wasn't a recall or service call for my car. That I'd have to pay for repairs and my car wasn't under warranty since the extra service plan I purchased already ran out. While coming home from work my car started to shudder and jolt and wasn't accelerating properly. I stopped at a gas station to see if the car smelled odd and to refuel. It started up but repeated jolting shudder and less than a mile down the road the car suddenly slowed by itself and stopped accelerating. I had to hook slide to the side of the road. I put the car in park and accelerated the engine responded. So I turned off the car and restarted put it in drive after multiple tries I got it to finally accelerate. Less than half a mile down the road as the car was going downhill the car started to shutter jolt again before coming to a complete stop at a light. No matter how long I waited it would not drive but would only reverse at that point. I had to contact family to help me push the car to the roadside and called a tow. The car currently sits in the driveway will start up and reverse but when attempting to accelerate sometimes it might drive for a few minutes before refusing to accelerate. I have the 2010 Nissan Versa SL hatchback with the CVT Xtronic transmission.

I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AFTER THIS HAPPENED AND SEE A LOT OF THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE.

Apr 08, 2020

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED OUT OF THE BLUE AT 150,000 MILES. THIS OCCURRED AS THE CAR WAS TURNING FROM A BUSY ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT AND CREATED A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THERE WAS NO SLIPPING OR LEAKS TO SPEAK OF BEFOREHAND. THE TECH WHO INSPECTED IT SAID THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL SEAL LEAK FAILURE. $4100 TO REPLACE IT (MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH AT THIS POINT).

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TURNS OUT THE EVAPORATOR HAD A CRACK IN IT SO PAID NISSAN $1,500 TO REPLACE IT WITH A NON-GENUINE EVAPORATOR PART. THEN ABOUT SIX MONTHS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH HAD AC AT SPEED 4 WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. TOLD THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACING AT THE COST OF $1,500 TO DO IT. REFUSED THE WORK AND RAN BLOWER MOTOR ON A/C AT SPEED 3 FOR ABOUT A MONTH THEN AFTER THAT SEEMED TO WORK AT SPEED 4 AS WELL WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. I THOUGHT IT WAS PROBABLY THE SPEED RHEOSTAT LIKE HAPPENED TO ME ON A FORD I HAD COST OF ITEM $25 AND DID IT MYSELF.

I CALLED THE GARAGE WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAY IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT I HAVE TO TAKE IT OVER FOR THEM TO LOOK AT FIRST TO BE SURE SO IT BETTER BE OR I WILL BE QUITE UPSET IF I HAVE TO FORK OUT MONEY ON A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD ON SOMETHING WITH THE EXHAUST!

VEHICLE LOST CONTROL EXITING A RIGHT HAND CURVE OF A COUNTY ROAD. THE VEHICLES SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH IS ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY 55-65 MPH. A POST-CRASH MECHANICAL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETED. THE INSPECTION REVEALED THE SPLINES ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE STEERING SHAFT HAD BEEN DAMAGED. THIS DAMAGE WAS CONSISTENT IN APPEARANCE WITH THE WHEEL BEING PLACED ON THE SHAFT AND PRESSED VIA THE STEERING WHEEL NUT WHEN THE SPLINES WERE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE STEERING WHEEL NUT WAS ABLE TO BE SPUN WITH ONE FINGER DURING THE INSPECTION. BOTH FINDINGS WERE NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE EXPECTED CRASH DAMAGE GIVEN THE CRASH SEQUENCE. AN AIRBAG RECALL HAD BEEN FULFILLED ON THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2019 IN WHICH THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REMOVED.

HEARD NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. WENT TO DEALERSHIP. CAR IS 4.5 YEARS OLD...NOT EVEN PAID OFF YET BUT ABOUT 4,000 MILES OVER WARRANTY. I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 31/2 HOURS. THEY HAD TO DISMANTLE MY WHOLE ENGINE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I WAS EVEN CHARGED AN HOUR OF LABOR BECAUSE IT TOOK THEM SO LONG TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE NOISE WAS. FINALLY, THE SERVICE MANAGER, CAME OUT TO SPEAK TO ME. APPARENTLY THEY HAD DISCOVERED "PISTON SLAP" IN TWO OF MY CYLINDERS. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM OTHER THAN REPLACING THE ENGINE. HE SAID HE DID AN ESTIMATE ON THE PARTS AS BETWEEN THREE TO FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS....PLUS LABOR. THE MANAGER WAS VERY SYMPATHETIC TOWARDS ME AS I CRIED. HE EXPLAINED THAT SOMETIMES WITH VEHICLES YOU GET LUCKY (MY LAST VEHICLE, A CHEVY, LASTED OVER 10 YEARS....PROBABLY WOULD STILL BE RUNNING IF I HAD NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT) BUT IN THIS SITUATION I JUST DIDN'T LUCK OUT. I ASKED HOW LONG THE VEHICLE WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. HE SAID HE COULDN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION; HE COULDN'T PREDICT THE LIFE LEFT IN MY VEHICLE. IT WAS LIKE HE SAID MY CAR WAS JUST DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. NO ANSWERS. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP IN TEARS. I CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX THIS--THE CAR PROBABLY ISN'T EVEN WORTH THAT MUCH AT THIS POINT. NOW, EVERY DAY, I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR. WHAT IF IT BREAKS DOWN WHEN I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION? WHAT IF THE ENGINE BLOWS UP? THIS IS A MECHANICAL DEFECT IN THE CAR. NOTHING I DID WRONG AS A CONSUMER/OWNER. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED. *TR

I AM VERY MUCH MOTIVATED TO WRITE ABOUT NISSAN VERSA, THE COMPACT/ECONOMY VEHICLE. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 8 HOURS AND ON BOTH OCCASIONS IT WAS THE SAME DREADFUL EXPERIENCE. THIS CAR LACKS 'BALANCING ABILITY', SPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAYS, THAT MEANS, IF U DRIVE IT AT UNTIL 40MPH, IT IS FINE & NORMAL, BEYOND THAT IT STARTS SHAKING SO BAD THAT YOU CANNOT EVEN BLINK YOUR EYE OR AFFORD TO TAKE UR HANDS AWAY FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FIRST TIME, I DROVE THIS CAR, I SUFFERED THE FIRST ACCIDENT OF MY LIFE...AND I PRAY TO GOD THAT NOONE EVER EXPERIENCES THAT KIND OF AN IMBALANCING. BASICALLY THE CAR TOTALLY LOST CONTROL & I COULD DO NOTHING TO STABILIZE THE CAR. THAT HAPPENED IN DELAWARE. YESTERDAY, APRIL 30, I WAS DRIVING IT ON INDIANA DUNES HIGHWAY & I-94, CHICAGO, PERHAPS IT WAS THE WIND, BUT IT ONLY MADE THE SHAKING MUCH WORSE. I HAD A FRIEND DRIVE IT AND HE WAS SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. DRIVING THIS CAR IS LIKE RIDING ON A ROLLER COASTER RIDE, BUT I WAS THE ONE BEHIND THE WHEELS. IF I HAD THE MONEY, I WOULD DEFINITELY GO AHEAD AND SUE NISSAN FOR EVEN RELEASING THIS VEHICLE OUT FOR ROADS. DRIVING A NISSAN VERSA IS LIKE KAYAKING THROUGH THE MIRAGE OF GORGES.....YOU HAVE TO BE ATTENTIVE ALL THE TIME, IT TENDS TO SLIP TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WONT STAY IN ONE LANE. IT IS LIKE TRYING TO KEEP YOUR BOAT/ TUBE IN ONE STRAIGHT POSITION WHILE THE BOAT KEEPS FLYING AWAY...EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. I SWEAR IF I HAD SUFFERED ANOTHER ACCIDENT YESTERDAY, I WOULD HAVE SUED NISSAN BLINDLY, WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT. AND I AM SURPRISED HOW COME NOONE HAS SUED THEM YET FOR SELLING A PLASTIC TOY FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!!! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

2 complaints

Fuel pump failed with no notice while traveling on the interstate causing the engine to stop running. I was lucky that I was able to coast off the highway on to the shoulder. This occurred at night on a section of I-10 with a 75 MPH speed limit. If I had not been able to limp off the highway it would have been very dangerous. My Nissan Versa only has 75,000 miles and is well maintained. No warning lights or OBD codes were present before or after the failure. Replacing the fuel pump assembly fixed the problem.

CAR IN MOTION ON NJ STATE HIGHWAY 94, SPARTA, NJ. CAR HAD 39K MILES. THE FUEL PUMP FAILED ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDERS, BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO SOMEONE'S DRIVEWAY. IT WAS A SUNDAY AFTERNOON, 8/30/2015, BUT WAS ABLE TO GET TOWED THROUGH AAA. SITUATION WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS A BUSY HIGHWAY. A FUEL PUMP FAILURE OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING, IS DANGEROUS, AND SHOULD NOT OCCUR IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS A NISSAN DEALER'S REGULAR SERVICE RECORD, IS UNDER 40K MILES, AND DRIVEN ONLY BY TWO PEOPLE IN THEIR 70'S. RECEIPT FOR REPAIRS IS AVAILABLE IF REQUESTED.

FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STALL FOR 20 SECONDS AND WIPER CONTROLLER DOES NOT FIX IT. MANUAL 1X WIPE WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN IN USE AND WILL SOMETIMES CAUSE WIPERS TO STALL. INTERMITTENT USE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL DUE TO CONSTANT STALLING. CAR HAS TO BE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF FOR 2 MINUTES AT LEAST FOR IT TO RESET AND STOP THE MOTOR. THIS PROBLEM GETS WORSE WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE.

Sep 05, 2020

THE INTERMITTENT WIPERS WILL NOT SPEED UP WHEN ADJUSTING THE DIAL. THEY WILL ONLY GO ONE SPEED. THEY GO VERY SLOWLY AND IT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED IN THE RAIN ON ANY STREET INCLUDING HIGHWAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING HOME, THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND A BURNING ELECTRICAL ODOR WAS PRESENT. AFTER ARRIVING HOME, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR AND BELT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN NISSAN DEALER AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

Sep 12, 2019

THERE ARE TWO ISSUES INVOLVED. ENGINE STALLING AND TROUBLE STARTING. THE ENGINE STALLED AT LOW SPEED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THERE WERE NO INDICATORS, THE ENGINE JUST CUT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEED, ENGINE WOULD STUTTER (DASH INDICATORS WOULD QUICKLY COME ON AND THEN DISAPPEAR.) THE OTHER ISSUE IS TROUBLE STARTING. SOMETIMES WHEN IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED, IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE ONLY THING NOTICEABLE IS THE GEAR INDICATOR SHOWS BLANK (NORMALLY SHOW 'P' FOR PARK). SOMETIMES THE STARTER WOULD CRANK AND ENGINE WOULD START BUT ONLY RUN FOR 1-2 SECONDS BEFORE STALLING AGAIN. WHEN IT HAPPENS, PRESSING DOWN THE GAS PEDAL WHILE TURNING IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NORMALLY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE ORDERED A PAIR OF TIRES FROM DISCOUNT TIRE DIRECT AND AFTER I PUT THEM ON THE CAR, I THOUGHT THEY ARE OK, SO I ORDERED ANOTHER PAIR. FEW MONTHS LATER ONE OF THE TIRES DEVELOPED UN-ROUND SHAPE AND IT WAS TORN FROM THE INSIDE. I HAVE CONTACTED DISCOUNT TIRE DIRECT, AND THEY FORCED ME TO PAY ANOTHER $14, AND I RETURNED THE BAD ONE AND THEY SENT ME ANOTHER ONE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. THIS WEEK I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. ONE OF THE TIRES DEVELOPED THAT UN-ROUND SHAPE AGAIN. BOTH INCIDENTS HAPPENED ON OUR FAMILY CAR WHERE MY LITTLE KIDS ARE INSIDE THE CAR. THATS UNACCEPTABLE; IF ANY OF THESE DEFORMATIONS WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE TIRE TO EXPLODE, THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED UNACCEPTABLE HARM TO MY FAMILY. THIS PRODUCT THREATENS THE WELL BEING OF MY FAMILY. AT THIS TIME I NO LONGER ACCEPT THIS PRODUCT AT ALL AND I DEMAND A FULL REFUND FOR ALL THE MONEY I HAVE PAID SO FAR. I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS, PHOTOS FOR THE FIRST TIRE, PHOTOS FOR THE SECOND TIRE, AND ALL 4 TIRES. NOTE: THE TIRES WRITEN ON THEM MILESTAR MS932 88H NSS-01-12F0

THE DEALER (EMPIRE NISSAN) HAS NOT OFFERED AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION. THE TIRES ARE SUPPOSEDLY 60,000 MILE TIRES, BUT THE DEALER, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MANUFACTURER, IS ONLY OFFERING 25% OFF LIST PRICE TO REPLACE WITH ANOTHER SET OF CONTINENTAL (CRAP) TIRES. THERE HAS NOT YET BEEN AN ACCIDENT, BUT I AM UNCERTAIN OF HOW DANGEROUS THIS CONDITION IS. I JUST NOTICED THE PROBLEM 4 DAYS AGO. I HAVE PHOTOS. *TR

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN WHEN I HEAR A SNAP AND THEN PASSENGER TIRE GETS POPPED AND DEFLATES. AT AN INTERSECTION GOING 10 TO 15 MPH. IT TURNS OUT MY FRONT SPRING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE COLLAPSED AND HAS SNAPPED A PEICE OF SPRING INTO MY TIRES BLOWING IT. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THIS CAR FOR LONG, AND DRIVE QUITE SAFELY. I SINCE HAD TO PURCHASE NEW FIRES AND NOW STUCK WITH MY SPRINGS STILL COLLAPSED. SHOULD THIS INCIDENT HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY, THERE WOULD MOST LIKELY BE A CASE OF AN ACCIDENT AND RISK OF INJURY AS THE INCIDENT HAPPENED QUITE SUDDENLY, LUCKILY I WASN'T AT HIGH SPEEDS. ALSO, MY FRONT BUMPER HAS SUFFERED DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF THE EXTREME HEIGHT DECLINE FROM TIRE AND SPRING INCIDENT. FIRST IMPRESSIONS TELLS ME THE SPRINGS (AND MUFFLER) USE AN ALLOY THAT SUFFERS FROM EXTREME ACCELERATED CORROSION/RUST AFTER SEEING THE MUFFLER AND SPRINGS. BUT I'D NEED TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER.

Jul 13, 2015

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 NISSAN VERSA TO WORK ON MARCH 12, 2013 WHEN I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE AREA. I WASN'T FAR FROM WORK SO I DROVE THERE AND CALLED MY MECHANIC. HE PICKED UP MY CAR AND FOUND THAT A COIL SPRING HAD BROKE. HE TOLD ME IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THAT HE WOULD SUGGEST THAT I REPLACE THE STRUTS AND COIL SPRINGS ON BOTH TIRES. HE GOT THE PARTS IN THE NEXT DAY AND FIXED IT ALL FOR ME. ABOUT A WEEK AGO I READ ABOUT A POSSIBLE DEFECT THAT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR COIL SPRINGS BRAKING AND SLICING TIRES ON THE NISSAN VERSA'S. ALTHOUGH IN MY INSTANCE IT DIDN'T RESULT IN A CAR CRASH I FEEL THAT IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I DID HAVE A COIL SPRING BRAKE. I ALSO HAD CALLED NISSAN AND HAD TOLD THEM ABOUT IT HAPPENING. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE. MY VERSA DIDN'T EVEN HAVE 50,000 MILES ON IT YET BUT THAT IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR? WE HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN OUR CARS UNTIL THEY HAD WELL OVER 100,000 MILES ON THEM AND NEVER DID EVEN ONE OF THEM HAVE A COIL SPRING BREAK. IF SOMETHING DOES COME OF THIS DEFECT I WOULD LIKE TO GET THE MONEY BACK THAT I SPENT REPLACING MY STRUTS AND COIL SPRINGS.

PRIOR TO BEING APART OF THE TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL, I DID NOT REALIZE THAT CITIZENS COULD REPORT ERRONEOUS AND DANGEROUS PART FAILURES IN THEIR AUTOMOBILES PRIOR TO A DANGEROUS INCIDENT. HAVING GONE THROUGH THE TAKATA RECALL, I AM NOW A MORE AWARE CONSUMER AND WANT TO REPORT AN INCIDENT INVOLVING FAILING DOOR ASSEMBLIES ON NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK'S. THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED ON MY 2010 NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK SEVERAL YEARS AFTER OWNERSHIP. IT IS UNCLEAR IF THIS HAPPENED DURING OR AFTER DRIVING, BUT IT WAS DISCOVERED WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER FOR THE HATCH BACK DOOR IN THE REAR TO OPEN. THE UNLOCK SIGNAL EVEN WHEN THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED IS NOT BEING SENT TO THE TAILGATE. A FAILURE TO DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE HIGH-QUALITY DOOR LATCH IS NOT A CONSUMER OR CUSTOMER ERROR. ADDITIONALLY, OTHER AUTO COMPANY'S LIKE FORD HAVE RECALLED THEIR DOOR ASSEMBLIES, BECAUSE ANY WEAKNESS IN A DOOR ASSEMBLY CAN CAUSE THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND POSES A RISK TO THE PASSENGERS OR DRIVERS. FORD STATED THAT "SHOULD A CUSTOMER BE ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR WITH THESE CONDITIONS, THE DOOR MAY APPEAR CLOSED, BUT THE LATCH MAY NOT FULLY ENGAGE THE DOOR STRIKER WITH THE POTENTIAL THAT THE DOOR COULD OPEN WHILE DRIVING, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY." THE NHTSA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE NISSAN ACTUATOR ISSUE. IT IS A RISK FOR PEOPLE RIDING AND DRIVING NISSANS AND ALSO A LIABILITY TO THE COMPANY.

WE LIVE IN VIRGINIA, WHILE MY 18 YEAR OLD WAS DRIVING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL TO COME HOME HE FELT A HUGE BUMP COMING AROUND THE CORNER COMING HOME (THANK GOODNESS HE WAS CLOSE TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT IN THE HIGHWAY). HE STOPPED THE VEHICLE CLOSE TO THE HOUSE AND NOTICED THAT AS HE WAS TURNING THE COILS MUST HAVE HIT THE TIRE BUT DUE TO THE RUST UNDER THE CAR FROM THE SALT THE MUFFLER FELL OFF. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE SOME SEVERE DAMAGE TO SOMEONE DRIVING BEHIND HIM IF HE WAS DRIVING FASTER OR IN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN COOPERATION FIRST TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION. BUT SINCE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE MADE A SPECTACLE OF HERSELF WHEN I TOLD HER I HAD CANCER AND ITS THE ONLY VEHICLE WE HAVE THAT MY SON TAKES ME TO APPOINTMENTS THEY UNAVOIDABLY HAVE BEEN AVOIDING TO CALL ME BACK.. SHE TOLD ME I DONT SOUND LIKE I HAVE CANCER!! I DIDNT CALL FOR IGNORANCE I CALLED TO HAVE MY ISSUE RESOLVED NOT TO HAVE MY CANCER THROWN IN MY FACE. THEY HAD MY CLAIM NUMBER #21697765 TRANSFERRED TO THEIR HEAD OFFICE DUE TO THE INSENSITIVITY AND THE ISSUE. THEIR HEAD OFFICE CALLS AND LEAVES ME MESSAGES AT THE WORST TIMES OF THE DAY AND NEVER CALLS ME BACK WHEN I CALL. I AM ADDING A PICTURE OF THE RUSTED MUFFLER AND THE DAMAGE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED MY SON AND HIS LIFE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD! TRULY THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE ON NISSAN'S PART!!!

I OPENED MY DRIVERS DOOR, THE HANDLE CAME COMPLETELY OFF. THE DRIVERS DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE EITHER. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT STILL WORKS BUT NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE. THE KEY WILL NOT OPEN IT, NO OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE, POSSIBLE INTERIOR PLASTIC\ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BROKEN. VEHICLE STILL RUNS AND DRIVES FINE. POWERTRAIN IS INTACT. INTERIOR IS FALLING APART DUE TO CHEAP CONSTRUCTION. LOOKED ONLINE TO THE NISSAN FORUM BOARD AND SAW MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM WITH DOOR HANDLES BREAKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. CAR IS ONLY EQUIPPED WITH ONE KEY ENTRY ON DRIVERS SIDE ONLY. KEYFOB AND SECURITY SYSTEM STARTING TO BREAK DOWN. WENT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN STEVEN POINT WI AND THEY WILL ONLY FIX IF I HAVE MONEY TO REPAIR. FORD DEALERSHIP IN WISCONSIN RAPIDS WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR SAID THAT THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS. REPAIR COULD COST ME OVER $700+.

FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF THE CAR WHILE DRIVING AND LEFT STRANDED AT 18,000 MI., ENGINE BLOWN AT 25,000 MI., NOW FORT WAYNE NISSAN WANTS TO JERK ME AROUND ON A FRONT SUSPENSION PROBLEM. THE CAR MAKES A WOBBLE SOUND WHEN TAKING OFF AFTER STARTUP THAT THEY SAY IS A ABS SAFETY TEST. PROBLEM IS IT NEVER MADE THAT SOUND BEFORE, AND ONLY AFTER ENGINE REPLACEMENT. NOT ONLY DO THEY SAY THE SOUND IS NOTHING THEY SAY THE CAR DOESN'T WOBBLE AND REFUSE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. ITS ALMOST LIKE THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING TOO. I PAID THEM 500$ FOR FRONT BRAKES AND THE CAR STILL STRUGGLES TO STOP AND I ASSUME THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. I AM SO AFRAID THAT THE SPRINGS ARE BAD JUST LIKE I SEE IN THE FORUMS. MY DAD OWNED THIS CAR FIRST PUT THE FIRST 6K MILES ON IT. THIS HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE THE DAY I GOT IT WITH 6K MILES ON IT. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. I HAVE 7 KIDS AND AM TERRIFIED THAT THIS IS BEING ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. PLEASE HELP, THIS WHOLE COIL SPRING STRUT ASSEMBLY PROBLEM IS OUT OF CONTROL, PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT ! I HAVE ALREADY HAD 4 OPEN BACK SURGERIES AND CANNOT GO THROUGH ANOTHER.

SPRING BROKE UNEXPECTEDLY, WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW VELOCITY. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A SPRING CAN BREAK AS IT DID. THE VEHICLE HAS LOW MILES, AND THE MECHANIC COULDN'T BEKIEVE IT HIMSELF. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT HE HAS REPAIRED TWO OTHER VEHICLES, SAME MAKE AND YEAR WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, AND THE SAME EXACT SIDE. MY ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIRS IS $1,500. IF NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AND HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT, THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIRSELVES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT CAN LEAD TO INJURY OR EVEN FATALITIES. I HAVE BEEN BUYING NISSAN VEHICLES FOR ALMOST TWENTY YEARS, BUT THIS HAS MADE ME LOSE CONFIDENCE IN THE COMPANY.

1 complaint

I NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH "FEEL" OF RIGHT FRONT WHEEL SO TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AND ASKED SERVICE TO CHECK ON THAT WHEEL ISSUE. HE CALLED ME IN TO SEE THAT THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION SPRING HAD TOTALLY CRACKED AND BROKEN OFF AND HAD BEEN RUBBING ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE CREATING A DEEP GROOVE IN THE RUBBER. IT WAS WORN THROUGH AND CLOSE TO PUNCTURING AND COULD NOT EVEN BE DRIVEN TO A DEALER. THIS VEHICLE HAS UNDER 37000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN TOTALLY MAINTAINED AND NOT DRIVEN ON ANY POOR ROAD SURFACES. THIS WAS A 15 MONTH OLD TIRE WITH ABOUT 14000 MILES. TOTALLY DESTROYED IN WHAT WAS A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATION DUE TO A FAULTY PART. NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FOR SPRINGS. THE MECHANIC SAID HE SEES THIS SPRING BREAKAGE ON A LOT OF VERSAS AND THE NISSAN DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT NISSAN IS "AWARE" OF THIS PROBLEM! THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND ALL SUSPENSION SPRINGS REPLACED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE KNOWING THE LEFT SIDE COULD CRACK AT ANY TIME. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT IF ONLY NISSAN DEALERS ARE REPORTING THE REPAIRS THAT THEY DO, MANY REPAIRS BY INDEPENDENT MECHANICS ARE GOING UNREPORTED TO NISSAN. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING A NEW 2010 NISSAN VERSA IN 2011 I NOTICED THAT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT ABOUT 15 PLUS MPH THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS. IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED THERE WOULD BE A HEAVY FELT VIBRATION. TWICE IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE FRONT END SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP THREE TIMES AND DIFFERENT PARTS WERE REPLACED/REPAIRED. THEY DID NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. ON THE FOURTH AND SUBSEQUENT TIMES I COMPLAINED, THEY SAID IT WAS THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SELF CHECK SYSTEM CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS NORMAL. THE DEALERSHIP (JEFF WYLER NISSAN OF FAIRFIELD .OHIO REFUSED TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT IT WAS NORMAL PER THE DEALERSHIP. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO TEST DRIVE OR CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS LIKE THE NISSAN CORPORATION LIKES TO OPERATE THE SAME WAY AS GENERAL MOTORS DOES IN MY OPINION. THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR AND THE HECK WITH THE CONSUMER. *TR

DRIVING IN SNOWY/ICY CONDITIONS. VEHICLE STARTED ANGLE TOWARDS ONCOMING VEHICLE (LARGE POWER COMPANY BUCKET/BOOM TRUCK). THE TRUCKS DRIVER (THERE WERE MORE THAN ONE) SAW ME COMING AT HIM. THE TRUCK MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID ME. I COLLIDED INTO THE DRIVER CORNER OF THE LARGE TRUCK HEAD-ON. BUMPER WENT INTO THE ENGINE. TAIL-END OF MY VEHICLE SWUNG AROUND TO MEET HIS DRIVER SIDE WITH MY PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN MY VEHICLE BROKE LOOSE FROM THE BUMPER, THE WHOLE FRONT END CAME OFF AND PART OF THE ENGINE CAME OUT. ONCE I COLLIDED WITH MY PASSENGER SIDE, I SPUN AROUND HITTING THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE AS WELL. I SLID BACK ACROSS THE ROAD AS I WAS SPINNING INTO A SMALL AREA NEAR A FENCE. THAT IS WHERE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. NOW.... AFTER ALL THIS; THE ONLY AIR BAG THAT BLEW WAS THE CURTAIN BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DRIVER CURTAIN AIRBAG, THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL NOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IN THE DASH DID NOT GO OFF. I HAVE SUFFERED BODY(PHYSICAL AND MENTAL) DAMAGE FROM THIS ACCIDENT. I FEEL THAT SINCE I HIT HEAD-ON, THE DRIVER AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT THAT NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT TO. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY 2010 NISSAN VERSA BEGAN TO MAKE A RUMBLING SOUND. IT HAS SENSE GROWN TO A ROAR WHILE STOPPED WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I GOT IT AND THEY SAID THE REAR MUFFLER ASSEMBLY HAD BROKEN LOOSE AND WAS RUBBING ON THE FRAME CAUSING THE NOISE AND VIBRATIONS IN THE DRIVER COMPARTMENT. UPON A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN CLAIMS IT IS DUE TO ROAD SALT, BUT THE ONLY PART THAT IS RUSTING OUT IS THE FLANGE LEADING TO THE REAR MUFFLER ASSEMBLY. *TR

MY NISSAN STARTED LEAKING AIR OUT OF THE TIRES....ALL 4 OF THEM. MY SON-IN-LAW FILLED THEM UP TO THE CORRECT PRESSURE AND IN A DAY OR TWO THEY WOULD BE DOWN 4,5, OR SOMETIMES 8 LBS. THIS WENT ON FOR MONTHS UNTIL I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON IT. (I ASKED). THEY DID PLUG ONE TIRE BECAUSE IT HAD A NAIL IN IT, BUT THE OTHER THREE THEY SAID "WERE JUST FINE". THEY ADDED PRESSURE TO THE TIRES, I PAID THEM AND AWAY I WENT. TWO DAYS LATER WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK DOWN TO MY- SON-IN-LAW, HE LOOKED AT IT AND THE PRESSURE WAS DOWN 6 LBS. IN EACH TIRE. WENT OUT AND BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES TWO DAYS AGO. MY FRIEND WHO HAS A VERSA BOUGHT NEW TIRES, BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE HER (SAME) PROBLEM. HOLDING MY BREATH AND HOPING MINE WILL BE OK. WHY DIDN'T THE DEALER KNOW OF THE DEFECT IN THE TIRE PRESSURE VALVE,OR WERE THEY PLAYING STUPID BECAUSE I WAS A WOMAN? *TR

THERE WAS NO ACTUAL ACCIDENT, BUT I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED. ON NOVEMBER 8TH I WAS JUST STARTING ON THE HIGHWAY, SO NOT EVEN AT SPEED LIMIT, WHEN I FELT THAT PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR IT HESITATED. I NOTICED IT A FEW MORE TIMES AND THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO RETURN A WEEK LATER FOR THE EARLIEST SERVICE APPOINTMENT, BUT THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. ONCE IN FOR SERVICING, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT IT WOULD NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP BECAUSE THERE WAS A LEAK. I SPOKE TO ANOTHER COMPANY AND THEY SAID IT SEEMED ODD THAT FOR SUCH A NEW CAR, IT WOULD NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP. THEY ALSO SAID THAT HAVING MY SPEED AFFECTED WAS VERY DANGEROUS. MY CAR IS A LITTLE OVER 75,000 MILES. I AM UNSURE WHAT TO DO IN SUCH A SITUATION AND FEEL THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, ESPECIALLY HAVING READ OF OTHER SUCH ISSUES WITH NISSAN VERSAS ONLINE. *TR

WE BOUGHT THE BASIC MODEL OF THE 2010 NISSAN VERSA. OUR CHIEF COMPLAINT IS THE FACT THERE IS ONLY ONE LOCK AND IT IS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I AM DISABLED THEREFORE WHEN I COME BACK FROM THE STORE OR SOME APPOINTMENT ETC OR HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN OR OTHER CHILDREN FROM THE FAMILY, I HAVE FOUND THAT EITHER SOMEONE HAS PARKED TOO CLOSE TO OPEN THE DOOR ( MANY TIMES AND WHEN YOU ARE IN PAIN THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO IN THE RAIN OR 90+ WEATHER IS WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO COME OUT AND MOVE A VEHICLE WHEN YOU HURT TOO BAD TO WALK BACK WHEREVER YOU ARE) OR THE OTHER PROBLEM IS LEAVING CHILDREN UNATTENDED WHILE REACHING THRU TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER DOOR BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO PHYSICALLY GET IN TO REACH THE OTHER LOCK. YOU DON'T WANT KIDS WALKING ACROSS CLOTH SEATS WITH DIRTY SHOES. WE NEED KEYLOCKS PUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. IT IS A MATTER OF SAFETY IF ANYTHING ELSE. WHAT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AND YOU CANNOT UNLOCK YOUR CAR DOOR? WE DON'T LIKE POWER LOCKS BECAUSE OF THE GRANDKIDS AND CHILDREN WE HAVE WITH US THEIR AGES. BUT WE WON'T BUY ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT IF YOU CAN ONLY ENTER ONE DOOR. *TR
