Just got the car from someone, and the air bag light comes up and stays on all the time the engine starts, trying all the ways to reset the light and not working, I found online that many same car owners has the same problem and there is no recall from the manufacturer, Nissan cars has a lot of air bags problems., my car has no collision and has only 62000 miles. Going to a dealer to ask about the price to fix and was told about more than a thousand dollars and not guaranteered'
The transmission completely went on my vehicle at 87,015 miles. I regularly drive on a major highway and had this happened while on the highway it could have been catastrophic as speeds generally exceed 70MPH on this road. The problem has been confirmed by my dealer. Nissan will not back the repair as I am 3,015 miles out of warranty. There were no warning lights prior to the failure.
The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Versa. The contact stated upon noticing that the glass of the rear passenger side brake light bulb was dark, he disassembled the part and he discovered that the plate, the brake light system, and circuit were severely corroded, and water had leaked inside the housing. There were no warning lights illuminated. The dealer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to take vehicle to their location for diagnostic testing however, he would be responsible for the cost of diagnostic test. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 6,500.
My vehicle stops running whenever I turn on heater or A/C. When either is turned on, dashboard lights up with four or five other lights like battery, P/S, Brake, Temp, and other. When A/C or heater is not turned on, then my car is running. It looks like my vehicle may be defective in some way. I bought it only last year and I don’t understand why this particular control for heater or A/C is causing the problems. I believe some parts may be sub-standard and they may will cause some problems one day.
EVERY SINGLE DAY MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY MY ABS LIGHT COMES ON CARS TRANSMISSION JERKS AROUND OR WHATEVER IT IS. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART TO DRIVE AGAIN. I MAY HAVE TO DO THAT A FEW TIMES IN A MILE. I THINK IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN. IT COULD BE IN MOTION OR STOPPED CAR WANTS TO LUNGE FORWARD
VEHICLE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF SPEED. I'VE HAD IT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 15MPH ON THE STREET AS WELL AS WHEN I'VE BEEN GOING 60+MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. BASED OFF OF OTHER FINDINGS AND LAWSUITS, I'VE BEGAN TO SUSPECT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, AND THEY'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER. I'VE GOTTEN MY WARRANTY EXTENDED BY THEM, BUT THAT'S IT.
SO I'M PROBLEMS WITH SPEED AND THE TRANSMISSION
CAR BOGGING DOWN WON'T ACCELERATE WHEN NEEDED JERKING AROUND NISSAN HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM FOR THIS AND IS REFUSING TO FIX THE VEHICLE.

I PULLED IN TO A PARKING SPOT I WAS IN PARK. NEXT TO A 4X4 DIESEL PICKUP, HE STARTED TO BACK UP AND TURNED HIS WHEELS TO WERE HE WAS GOING TO RUN ME OVER I HELD THE HORN DOWN HE DID NOT HEAR IT AND RAN ME OVER FROM THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TO THE BACK DOOR. HE STOPPED WHEN HE REALIZED HE WAS ON TOP OF MY CAR.
1) I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY US 35 GOING WEST BOUND WHERE MY REAR PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE 75 OVERPASS. 2) PASSENGER REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. A 2 INCH ABRASION ON THE SIDE WALL. 3) I BOUGHT A NEW TIRE AND REPAIRED MY RIM.
LOST CONSCIOUSNESS DUE TO PREVIOUSLY UNDIAGNOSED MEDICAL ISSUE, CAR WAS IN 2ND GEAR AND HIT TELEPHONE POLE. CAR WAS TOTALED AND I WAS INJURED FROM THE IMPACT, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS PRESUMABLY GOING AS FAST AS POSSIBLE IN 2ND GEAR AS MY FOOT WAS ON THE PEDAL WHEN I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS.
ON APPROXIMATED ON FEBRUARY 02, 2020 ON THE NORTH BOUND 215 FWY EXISTING FWY OFF RAMP ON NEWPORT BLVD IN MENIFEE CA, WHEN MY 2016 NISSAN VERSA STALL, IT'S ON DRIVE AND NOT MOVING. NO WARNING SIGNS OF ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES, NO ENGINE LIGHT ON. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THEN I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BUT THE RPM IS MOVING UP AND DOWN. I PULLED OVER TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND CALLED MY ROADSIDE ASSISTANT THROUGH GEICO. THE NEXT DAY I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO PEDDER NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE DEPT RETURN MY CALL AND NOTIFIED ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS OUT ON A LESS THAN FOUR YEARS OLD VEHICLES THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP & NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIR HAVE BOTH HAVE GIVEN ME THE RUNS AROUND. I SEE THERE BULLETIN FOR MY VEHICLE MODEL AND YEAR. I NEED ASSISTANCE, PLEASE.
I HAD ISSUES WITH THE GEARS THAT INITIALLY THE ISSUE SHOWED UP AS A PROBLEM WITH AC/HEATER NOT WORKING PROPERLY, BUT WHEN THE MECHANIC EXAMINED THE ISSUE, IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH GEARS. SOON AFTER THAT, MY CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE WHILE DRIVING AND THEN BEGAN TO SMELL LIKE SOMETHING BURNT. THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED, I DID REGULAR MAINTENANCE AS INSTRUCTED IN THE MANUAL, BUT IT WAS AROUND 60,000 MILEAGE WHEN ISSUES BEGAN TO SHOW UP AND AROUND 90,000 WHEN IT BEGAN HESITATING AND SMELLING. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON CITY STREETS BECAUSE IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND SO I CANNOT DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. I CONTACTED NISSAN WHILE I HAD MILEAGE IN THE RANGE OF 80K-84K TO SEE IF THEY WILL EXAMINE MY CVT, GIVEN THE CURRENT LAWSUIT, FREE OF CHARGE. BUT THEY STATED THAT THE LAWSUIT HASN'T BEEN SETTLED YET AND THAT BY THE TIME IT IS, I WILL LIKELY BE OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.
WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED OUT. RE STARTED IT THEN IT WAS SLUGGISH AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AGAIN I FELT A QUICK THUNK LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. FINALLY GOT IT HOME WHEN PUT IT ON CODE READER IT CAME UP WITH CODE P0705 TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT WHEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED. NOW I AM STUCK HAVING TO PAY AROUND $2000 TO GET MY CAR FIXED.
WHEN I DRIVE IN THE WINTER TIME AND APPLY THE BRAKES ON A SLIPPERY ROAD THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO STOP NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRY TO USE THE BRAKES. INSTEAD, THE BRAKES POP AND CLICK UNTIL MY CAR SLOWS DOWN ON ITS OWN. I ENDED UP SLIDING LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. OTHER DRIVERS WERE AWARE MY CAR WAS HAVING TROUBLE STOPPING AND ALLOWED ME TO PROCEED. THAT HAPPENED IN THE 1ST TIME IN DECEMBER 2017. THE FOLLOWING YEAR I HAD MY BRAKES CHECK AND THE SERVICE STATION CLAIMED THE COULDN'T FIND ANY THING WRONG WITH THEM. I HAD MY BRAKES SERVICED BEFORE THE WINTER OF 2018. MY BRAKES STILL DO THE EXACT SAME THING ALL WINTER LONG ON THE SLIPPERY STREETS. ALSO I'M HAVING TROUBLE TRYING TO TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION BECAUSE IT'S LOCKED. WHEN I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET THE CAR UP AND RUNNING A LITTLE WHILE LATER IT WANTS TO STALL. THIS JUST HAPPENED THE LAST 2 DAYS. I'M GOING TO GET THAT SERVICED ASAP. THAT DAY WAS NOVEMBER 23, 2019. THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL ISSUES AND IT'S ONLY 3 YRS OLD. THAT'S NOT A GOOD SIGN.
PURCHASED A 2016 NISSAN VERSA (BRAND NEW) CAR RAN WELL UNTIL 11/18/19. WHEN I LEFT WORK, STARTED CAR AS USUAL AND HEADED HOME. PASSED A ROUNDABOUT ALONG WITH SOME FREEWAY DRIVING. WHILE ON ROBERTS RD. AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT (WAITING FOR RIGHT AWAY) CAR SEEMED FINE, BUT ONCE I APPLIED THE GAS TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGHT. NOTHING HAPPENED. ALL THE DUMMY LIGHTS CAME ON, RADIO AND HEAT WAS STILL WORKING BUT CAR SHUT DOWN AT RUSH HOUR. I COULD NOT MOVE. I CALLED FOR THE POLICE TO HELP THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN SENT TO DEALERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE OF CARS STALLING. WHY WAS I NOT MADE AWARE AND SOLD A LEMON. I THANK GOD THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY OR ROUNDABOUT. THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT MY HUNCH TOLD ME IT'S A LEMON AND NOT TO KEEP IT. I NOW OWN A 2020 TOYOTA COROLLA. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GO THROUGH WHAT I WENT THROUGH, VERY SCARY. FYI IF YOU GOGGLE NISSAN CARS STALLING THERE IS A NEWS STORY FROM KTNV CHANNEL 13 OUT OF NEVADA.
THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND I HAD TO RESTART IT.

MY CAR WAS IN PARK , WHEN I GOT IN AND SHUT DRIVER'S DOOR THE AIRBAGS EXPLODED HURTING MY EYES AND NECK. STILL DEALING WITH NISSAN FOR 18 MONTHS AND STILL NOT EVEN LOOKED AT
TRYING TO LEAVE FOR WORK, TURN ON MY CAR AND THEN THERE WAS A SQUEAL (LIKE A BELT) AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, NOT THE CAR (BATTERY IS WORKING). I DO THIS ABOUT THREE TIMES TO SEE IF MAYBE THE GAS NEEDED TO BE PRESSED OR IF THE CAR NEEDED TO BE IN GEAR, SAME THING HAPPENED. I CALL MY FATHER FOR ADVISE, AND I WANTED HIM TO HEAR THE NOISE BEFORE THE SHUT OFF, SO I TURN OFF THE RADIO, AC, EVERYTHING. THEN THE CAR STARTS AND STAYS ON. TURNS OUT THAT IF I HAD THE FAN GOING IT WAS SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. I TAKE IT TO SISK NISSAN AND THEY INSPECT, SAY FIRST THAT ITS THE CONDENSER AND AFTER THE PART IS ORDERED AND THE CAR TAKEN APART THEY SAY THAT THE WHOLE AC SYSTEM IS CONTAMINATED. THE COMPRESSOR HAD STOPPED WORKING. ONE WEEK WITHOUT AC AND ONE WEEK IN THE SHOP TO REPLACE THE WHOLE AC SYSTEM.
ON OR ABOUT NOVEMBER 5TH OF 2018 WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY HOME THE VEHICLE QUIT ACCELERATING. WE LIMPED THE VEHICLE HOME WHERE A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP INSPECTED THE TRANSMISSION. IT WAS APPARENT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THE QUOTE WE RECEIVED WAS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS "SHOT". THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PURCHASED USED AND WAS ONLY OWNED ABOUT 16 MONTHS.
I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND IN A CRASH AND WAS KNOCKED INTO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. SUFFERED MILD HEAD INJURY. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE INJURY COULD HAVE BEEN WORST. *JB
THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE CONTINENTAL CONTIPROCONTACT P185/65 R15 TIRE EXPLODED WHILE PARKED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF, AND HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN TEN MILES PRIOR TO THE EXPLOSION. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 65 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AND IT WAS RAINING, SO HEAT WAS NOT A FACTOR. THE TIRE DOT # IS P5FP3YP2715. THE TIRES THEMSELVES ARE THREE YEARS OLD AND HAVE 54,710 MILES ON THEM.
CAR SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND IT'S BECOMING UNSAFE TO DRIVE.
MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT LOOSE SPEED THEN WAS UNABLE TO GET IT OUT OF GEER. WAS TOLD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR USE AS IS, NO GURANTEE. I HAVE NO MONEY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION WILL COST ME OVER $2000??????????????
MY VECHICLE STARTE TO CUT OUT ON ME AFTER 37000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING FROM JURY DUTY IN THE AFTERNOON IN TRAFFIC AND IT JUST STALLED OUT ON ME. THE ENGINE CUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO CRANK IT AGAIN AND MOVED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAITED 45 MINUTES. I DID NOT TURN THE AIR CONDITION ON. IT CRANKED AND I WENT HOME. A WEEK LATER IT DID THE SAME THING BUT IT WOULD NOT CRANK AGAIN. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP. HE SAID IT WAS THE COMPRESSOR. HE REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR AND I PICKED IT UP AGAIN AND IN A FEW DAYS LATER IT CUT OFF ON ME AND MY FAMILY AGAIN. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL BOX. HE REPLACED IT AND IT WAS RUNNING AGAIN.HOWEVER IN 2 DAYS IT TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING AGAIN.THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE. IT ONLY HAS 38K MILES ON IT. NOW IT WILL NOT DRIVE. I AM STUCK WITH A CAR NOTE AND NO CAR TO DRIVE.
TAKATA RECALL - MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ACCIDENTS. I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS YET AND REALLY NEED TO GET THIS LOOKED AT. I WOKE UP ONE MORNING TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL AND SOON AS I CRUNK UP THE CAR THE LIGHT WAS FLAKING AND WON'T GO OFF.
TAKATA RECALL. LOW TIRE SENSOR IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS DYSFUNCTION OCCURS WHEN THE MORNINGS ARE COLD, AND WILL AT TIMES NOT RESET ITSELF. WHEN THE "LOW TIRE"ERROR IS DISPLAYING, OTHER DISPLAY WILL NOT FUNCTION. THIS MAY OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.
TAKATA RECALL
THE NISSAN VERSA 2016 HAS A FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING WITH ONGOING TRAFFIC I SAW THE TRAFFIC STOPPED I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND KEPT PRESSING BRAKES AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP. I COULD NOT GO LEFT OR RIGHT BECAUSE CARS WERE IN BOTH LANES. I HIT CAR IN FRONT. THE OFFICER VERIFIED THAT THE CAR WAS IN SPEED MOTION WITH NO SCREECHES OR MARK IN STREET. THE OFFICER STATED THAT MY CAR WAS IN NORMAL SPEED MOTION. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND MY SISTER AND I WERE INJURED. THE CAR I HIT PASSENGERS WAS OK. THIS ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY BRAKE FAILURE. I REPORTED THIS TO THE NISSAN CORPORATION.
"TAKATA RECALL" BACK IN MARCH 17 I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY BY DIA THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I WAS FORCE TO RUN INTO THE BACK OF A LADY IN ANOTHER LANE. MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY

BRAKE ISSUES REPORTED NOT A GOOD VEHICLE TO HAVE REPAIRED SEVERAL TIME- BOUGHT BRAND NEW - STILL SUFFERING FROM MULTIPLE VISITS TO DEALERSHIP AND COMPANY
THE SEATBELT WAS ABLE TO EASILY BECOME DISENGATED BY HARDLY TOUCHING THE RELEASE. THERE WAS AN AUTO ACCIDENT THAT RESULTED IN THE PARALYSIS AND EVENTUAL DEATH OF THE DRIVER. THE DRIVER WAS T-BONED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A GREEN LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS CITED FOR EXCESSIVE SPEED AND FAILURE TO KEEP A PROPER LOOKOUT. IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT HIS FOREARM BRUSHED THE RELEASE ON THE SEATBELT AND CAUSED THE SEATBELT TO DISCHARGE AT THE TIME OF IMPACT. I HAVE A VIDEO BETTER CONVEYING THIS, BUT IT IS COMPRISES TOO MUCH DATA TO UPLOAD ON THIS FORM. UPDATED 10/19/17 *BF UPDATED 7/26/18*JB .. *TR
TAKATA RECALL. I WAS TRAVELING ON US 77 IN VIRGINA WHEN THE TRAFFIC CAN TO A STOP DUE TO A MERGING ARROW. I MERGED AND STOP. I WAS REAR ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME AS IT DID NOT STOP. MY CAR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND THEN ROLLED OVER. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ANYWHERE IN THE CAR. I BELIEVE THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENABLED AFTER HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I BELIEVE THE SIDE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENABLED WHEN THE CAR FLIPPED OVER. *BF *CN *JS *TR
THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE STEERED INTO A CURB TO STOP IT BEFORE IT ENTERED ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HESITATES UPON TURNING WHICH IS A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED AN ABNORMAL BURNING ODOR. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE PHONE WHILE IT WAS BEING CHARGED IN THE VEHICLE. THE PHONE WAS MELTED. THE CONTACT PURCHASED A NEW PHONE AND PORTABLE CHARGER, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000.
I HAVE TAKEN MY BRAND NEW NISSAN TO THE DEALER 6 TIMES NOW. BREAKS KEEP MAKING A NOISE LIKE A TAPPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. THE LAST TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND PICKED IT UP AFTER A WEEK THE BREAKS ARE SCREECHING TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT DRIVE. NISSAN DEALER AND NISSAN FACTORY ARE CLAIMING THIS IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.
I HAVE A 2016 NISSAN VERSA WITH APPROX 12,000 MILES AND HAVE CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE STEERING OF THIS VEHICLE. THE CAR VEERS OFF AND HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN FREQUENTLY AND FEELS AS IF IT IS BEING PULLED BY WIND. THIS IS UNSAFE AND CAUSES CONTROLLING THE CAR TO BE A PROBLEM. THIS BEGAN AT FIRST IN EARLY 2017 AND IS NOW A REGULAR OCCURANCE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTING FROM THE LOWER CORNER OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD FRACTURED.

THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP.
EVERYTHING TIME I STOP AND PARK THE CAR TO DO A SHORT ERRAND AND THEN AFTER GETTING BACK IN THE CAR, I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT WON'T TURN. I HAVE TO WIGGLED THE KEY IN THE STEERING WHEEL FOR AT LEAST FIVE (5) MINUTES OR MORE. IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENT AND OFTEN. I AM VERY CONCERNED.
I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE CAR WHEN FILLING IT WITH GASOLINE. THE GAS NOZZLE HAS BEEN EJECTED FROM THE CAR DURING FILLING. TYPICALLY THE GASOLINE PUMP WILL STOP DISPENSING GASOLINE WHEN THE NOZZLE IS EJECTED. HOWEVER, THERE WAS ONE INCIDENT WHEN THE NOZZLE CONTINUED DISPENSING GASOLINE WHILE THE NOZZLE WAS LAYING ON THE GROUND. I HAD TO QUICKLY PICK UP THE NOZZLE AND TURN IT OFF. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME I FILL THE CAR WITH GASOLINE, BUT I FEEL THAT THERE IS A RECURRING ISSUES HERE AND IT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BECAUSE OF THE RISK AND HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH SPILLED GASOLINE.
AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY DURING HEAD ON COLLISION DRIVING ABOUT 70MPH ON THE 1604 HWY ANIMAL RAN ACROSS I SWERVED OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID HITTING IT BUT LOST CONTROL ON THE GRASS AND WENT HEAD ON INTO A POLE AS I TRIED TO STEER THE CAR FROM HITTING I SPINNED OUT OF CONTROL AFTER THE IMPACT THEN LANDED ON THE ACCESS ROAD. FRONT OF VEHICLE GOT PUSHED IN BUT NOT ONE AIR BAG DEPLOYED DURING THE WHOLE INCIDENT NISSANS EXCUSE IS I DIDN'T HIT THE CAR CORRECTLY WHICH I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT WOULD BE THE CORRECT WAY TO CRASH A VEHICLE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

NISSAN VERSA, ALWAYS HAD ISSUES WITH GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATING. IGAUGE READ 79 MILES IN DRIVEWAY, I PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY INTO MAIN ROAD AND WENT ABOUT 25 FEET, HAS GAUGE STARTED FLASHING. TOLD GRANDSON I HAD TO GO TO GAS STATION BEFORE TAKING HIM TO SCHOOL. WE DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE AND HEARD POP UNDER HOOD, CAR JERKED REALLY HARD TO RIGHT. I HAD NO CONTROL AND HIT MAIL BOX, CAR KEPT MOVING FORWARD ALONG DITCH. FINALLY COME TO STOP WITH WINDSHIELD BUSTED AND FRONT BUMPER AND UNDERCARRIAGE BADLEY DAMAGED.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2016 NISSAN VERSA AND WHEN I DRIVE IT, IT VEERS TO THE LEFT WHICH IS A MATTER OF SAFETY FOR MY FAMILY.. TOOK IT IN TO SERVICE DEPT AND THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING...I AM RE-THINKING MY DECISION ABOUT THIS CAR BECAUSE I REFUSED TO DRIVE A UNSAFE VEHICLE.
DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD HEARD A POP, CAR SUDDEN PULL RIGHT FRONT END HITTING A DITCH ON THE SIDE OF ROAD FRONT END SLIDING DOWN IN THE DITCH COMING TO A STOP IN A VERTICAL POSITION. THE AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY.
I RENTED A NISSAN VERSA AND WAS DRIVING AT DUSK. I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT I HAD NOT TURNED ON THE DRIVING LIGHTS UNTIL IT WAS QUITE DARK. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE OFF, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS LOOK LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH THE LIGHTS ON... I.E., THE INTERIOR IS FULLY LIT UP. THE DRIVING INSTRUMENTS ARE LIT UP. EVERYTHING LOOKS NORMAL FOR NIGHTTIME DRIVING.... EXCEPT THAT WHEN I PULLED OVER, I SEE THAT THE EXTERIOR HAS NO LIGHTS ON WHATSOEVER. TO BE CLEAR, THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING FINE. IF YOU TURN THEM ON, THEY COME ON. BUT IT'S VERY DANGEROUS THAT THE CAR SOMEHOW ALWAYS HAS THE INTERIOR LIGHTED, OR PERHAPS IT HAPPENS WITH A LIGHT SENSOR, LEADING YOU TO NOT REALIZE YOU HAVE NOT TURNED ON THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS.

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED INJURIES TO THE HEAD, LEG, KNEE, BREAST AND RIBS. *JS
ACCELERATION DELAY WITH MY RECENTLY PURCHASED 2016 NISSAN VERSA NOTE. PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS THE INITIAL PRESSING OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS A DELAYED RESPONSE, SOMETIMES FOR 3 SECONDS OR MORE. TO COMPENSATE FOR THE DELAY I PRESS HEAVY ON THE PEDAL RESULTING IN A SUDDEN SURGE WHEN IT FINALLY KICKS IN. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO PRESENT A DANGER WHEN DRIVING.
