2018 Nissan Versa 4 DR FWD

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that she had collided with a deer that entered the roadway at 60 MPH. The airbags failed to deploy upon impact. The contact sustained sourness to her neck, back, and both shoulders but did not seek medical attention. The police were not called to the scene and a report was not filed. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic for repair. The dealer was notified of the failure and was promised a call back; the contact had yet to hear back from that dealer. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN number was not available.

1) When at red light with car in drive and brake pedal pressed the car occasionally begins to roll forward and then the brakes suddenly depress even more. 2) All brake lights intermittently go out and if hit will come back on for an unknown time until u realize they're not working again. 3) I have already had to replace the fuel pump twice with only 60k on miles on the car

I bought this new vehicle and I am the first owner. Two months ago, the airbag light is on and the system said the front passenger seat airbag is disabled even though my wife is siting on the front passenger seat. It seems that the airbag system cannot detect someone is siting on the passenger seat. I took this Nissan versa to the dealership in Columbia, MO (Joe Machens Nissan), and the staff told me that the sensor under front passenger seat doesn't work, which means the airbag will not work if accident happen. It's very dangerous. The staff also told me that this is not under warranty. When I brought this new vehicle, the contract said in the first 35000 miles, it's "bumper to bumper" warranty, which covers everything in the vehicle. Now my vehicle has only 34000 miles but they refused to follow the warranty. I has passed two months, no one contact me to solve this issue. My wife and I lived a anxiety-ridden life in the past two months. Considering the safety issue, I am going to repair it in Joe Machens Nissan at my own expense on 12/20/2021 because they refuse to cover it under warranty.

Unknown! Repeatedly spent thousands of dollars on repairs but car never fixes. Check engine light on every month and car stalls often.

I have a 5 speed manual transmission that has a defective throwout bearing clutch assembly that 'sticks' and does not engage or release in a smooth manner. Each shift is 'jerky' when the clutch pedal is released and the power transfer from gear to gear is is a sudden jerk instead of a smooth continuation of acceleration. Downshifting is not as jerky as up thru the gears shifting. My assumption is the folks who assembled the transmission and connected it to the engine did not line all parts in a straight line, so that the throwout bearing clutch plate mechanism is not perfectly balanced, along with the hydraulically controlled throw out bearing clutch plate mechanism forcing these items to over ride the off centered spinning mass to re-connect with a sudden jerk to complete the up shifted gear power transmission. I get the sensation of the clutch being 'ridden' even tho' the clutch pedal has been completely released back to its start position. Quite often when shifting from 2nd to 3rd, the clutch gets released but the gear is still in 2nd and not in 3rd, I have to resort to pushing the clutch pedal down again and releasing it so that 3rd gear engages. Getting into reverse is not easy, either. It takes 2 or 3 attempts from neutral to get the gear shift lever to get into position to allow the reverse gear to get engaged. It was like this from day 1. Nissan mechanics tell me the car is so new, it will take time for this stiffness to ease off. Well, 3 years later that never happened. The transmission/clutch/throwout bearing assembly was mounted in a defective manner at the factory, Nissan refuses to acknowledge this mistake. A recall is mandatory so that these defective transmission/clutch/throwout bearing have to be replaced and installed to original factory specs, with the engine out of the car to ensure the alignment/balancing required can be done properly. In the Army the expression...MAKE IT HAPPEN ... applies here.

Turned on my car that day and air bag lights stay blinking all the time for driver and front passenger.

Brake pedal is to small my right foot keeps sliping off the pedal i fell like it might cause a rear end accident

On May 29th, there was a really heavy down pour of rain. The next day when I got into my car, it was flooded. It rained for the next 3-4 days. I could hear water sloshing around inside the car frame. Water gushed into the passenger floor board from behind the dashboard. By the time I could vacuum the water out, it had soaked the entire front and back floors. The seats were absorbing water too, because they felt damp. I tried to start the car. It started but would not turn off. After I put it in drive and back in park, then I could turn off the car. I've had the car sitting and still water is draining out. The back floor board is filled with water again and mold is starting to form. When I contacted a Nissan dealer repair shop, they said they had seen quite a few of these issues. They would have to remove the dashboard to repair the problem. This is dangerous. Water coming in behind the dashboard could cause a fire. The dealer repair shop also mentioned black mold forming, which is a health concern.

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Versa. The contact stated while the vehicle was is for an inspection, the vehicle was returned with a malfunctioning check engine warning light on the instrument panel. The vehicle was diagnosed but was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure, and the contact was awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 74,723.

I WAS HIT FROM THE SIDE. THE COLLISION WAS PRETTY BAD, MY CAR WAS TOTALED. IT WAS THE THE FRONT OF THE PASSENGERS SEAT. AT THE SPEED THE CRASH HAPPENED, THE FORCE WITH WHICH I WAS HIT AND THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR I WAS UNPLEASANTLY SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, THEY COULD HAVE PREVENTED INJURY. MY CAR WAS IN FORWARD MOTION ON A HIGHWAY, I WAS HIT BY A TURNING CAR.

AIRBAG LIGHT LIGHT CAME ON. TOKE IT TO GET CHECKED THE FIRST TIME WAS TOLD OLD CODES CAME UP BUT EVERYTHING LOOK GOOD THAT IF THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. ONE HOUR LATER LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. TOOK TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT SHOWED OLD CODES AND WIRES WERE CRINKLED. THEY FIXED THEM AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE FOR TWO WEEKS. LIGHT CAME BACK ON. TOKE IT BACK TO THEM. THEY CHECKED IT AGAIN SAME OLD CODES CAME UP AGAIN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS SUGGESTED BY NISSAN THAT I NEEDED AIRBAG MODULE BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THAT WAS THE FIRST THING THEY HAD TO DO AND IT WOULD COST A LITTLE OVER 1300 DOLLARS. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD FORK OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR THEM TO GUESS. ALSO KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS BUT WAS TOLD NOT MY CAR.

THE VEHICLE WILL STOP AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE ALMOST ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. THEN WHEN TURNED OFF AND TRIED TURNING BACK ON THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER. THE PROBLEM AUTO REPAIR SHOP IS SAYING THAT THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE ENGINE.

THERE ARE SERIOUS DESIGN FLAWS ON THE 2018 NISSAN VERSA THAT ALLOW WATER (I.E RAIN) TO COLLECT BELOW THE WINDSHIELD AND WHEN THE COLLECTED WATER DOESN'T DRAIN IT FLOODS THE CAR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THERE IS A WATER GUTTER UNDER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS THAT RUNS FROM EACH SIDE OF THE CAR. IT HAS TWO VERY SMALL DRAINS ON EACH SIDE. THE DRAINS GET PLUGGED BY DUST, DIRT, ETC. NORMAL STUFF THAT CAN GET ON THE CAR, AND THE WATER COLLECTS AND BUILDS UP IN THE GUTTER. THERE IS A HOLE FOR SOME CABLES IN THIS AREA, ABOVE THE GUTTER THAT THE BUILT UP WATER CAN FLOW THROUGH RIGHT ON THE PASSENGER FLOOR BEHIND THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. THE WATER DRAINS OUT ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING/IN MOTION. IF THERE IS A HEAVY RAIN, THE ENTIRE CAR FLOOR GET FLOODED. THE HEALTH DANGER IS THE WATER HAS NOWHERE TO GO INSIDE THE CAR AND GETS MUSTY AND MOLDY. THIS CAN BE FIXED FOR APPROX. $600, HOWEVER IT WILL LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE ALL IS DONE IS UNPLUG THE SMALL DRAIN HOLES. NISSAN ALLOWED A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW IN THE 2018 VERSA SEDAN THAT LEADS TO FLOODING AND WET FLOORBOARDS, A DRAIN THAT IS PRONE TO CLOGGING, AND A HOLE FOR WATER TO FLOW INSIDE THE CAR. I FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON GOOGLE. MY CAR DAMAGED HAPPEN APRIL 2020, AND OTHER CAR OWNERS HAS HAPPENED IN 2019. PLEASE HELP US. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN (ABOUT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY) AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. NO SIGNS THAT IT WAS GOING TO DO THIS, NO SPUDDERING OR ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. JUST SHUT OF. I HAVE READ ON FORUMS THAT OTHER NISSAN VERSA OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. SOME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I LIVE 64 MILES FROM MY JOB. ITS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME IF MY CAR DOES THAT WHILE I'M DRIVING.

WE WERE RECENTLY IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN OUR 2018 NISSAN VERSA. WE WERE GOING 55-60 MPH WHEN WE SWERVED TO AVOID AN ANIMAL. WE BROKE, BUT OUR SPEED DID NOT DECREASE MUCH, AS WE WENT INTO A DITCH AND CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF THIS DITCH, CAUSING SEVERE MECHANICAL AND BODY DAMAGE. THE PASSENGERS SUFFERED BRUISES AND A CONCUSSION. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANTELOPE VALLEY NISSAN (451 AUTO CENTER DR, PALMDALE, CA 93551) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

SHAKING BRAKE PEDAL, DIFFICULTY SLOWING THE CAR DOWN WHILE DRIVING

THE VEHICLE HAS DIFFICULTY SLOWING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. AND BRAKES SEEM NOT TO STOP THE CAR (WEAKENED BRAKE PADS) IT FELT LIKE I WAS LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR. ALSO THE CAR WOULD LOOSE POWER WHEN STATIONARY AT STOP LIGHTS. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THIS OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY OR WHILE IN MOTION. I HOPE THEY DON'T RENT VEHICLE OUT UNTIL MECHANICAL ISSUES ARE SOLVED

MULTIPLE TIMES CAR HAS SHUT OFF/STALLED WHILE DRIVING. DRIVING HOME, TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY HIGHWAY, MERGED INTO TURNING LANE, STOPPED TO TURN AND CAR HAS SHUT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS T-BONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING 55 MPH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS AFTER THE CRASH AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, BACK, SPINE, AND WAS PARALYZED FOR THE FIRST TWO DAYS AFTER THE CRASH. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MULTIPLE OTHER INJURIES AS WELL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE OTHER DRIVER WERE UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

I AM AT 27000 MILES, AND I'VE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT JERKING OF THE CAR BETWEEN 1000-2000 RPM. IT'S ALMOST AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION SKIPS A BEAT, IN SOME CASES SLIGHTLY PROPELLING THE VEHICLE FORWARD. IF YOUR FOOT IS STARTING TO GO DOWN ON THE BRAKE, THERE IS A MOMENT THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWS DOWN (YOU TAKE THE FOOT OFF THE BRAKE SLIGHTLY), THEN PROPELS FORWARD. THIS JERKING ACTION CAN CAUSE A SEVERE ISSUE WITH STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT OR ABOUT TO MAKE A TURN. AT THE SAME TIME, YOU HEAR THE REV COUNTER ABRUPTLY JUMPING CHANGING AS WELL.

I WAS SITTING STATIONARY AT A STOP LIGHT IN TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET AND MY BRAKE LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT, AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND I IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER STEERING. I HAD TO GUIDE MY VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN SOUTH MORROW FOR SERVICE. I HAD ALSO HAD SOME MINOR IGNITION ISSUES RELATING TO TURNING MY KEY AND NOT SEEING MY CLOCK RADIO BECOME VISIBLE BUT WAS REMEDIED BY USING MY SPARE CAR KEY. NISSAN SOUTH MORROW SAID THAT THE CAR DROVE WELL WITH NO ISSUES. UNSURE WHETHER IT WAS ACTUALLY LOOKED AT.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND IGNITION SWITCH WOULDN'T MOVE.

I HAD ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 40 MPH, AND IT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TO MY ASTONISHMENT, IT TURNED OUT TO BE MY TRANSMISSION. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAD TO PUT IN A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. IT SCARES ME TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN GOING FASTER, OR IF SOMEONE HAD CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. I LATER READ WHERE NISSAN HAD BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR YEARS.

AIRBAGS RECALL. I WAS IN A SIDE FRONT ACCIDENT AND NO AIR BAGS CAME OUT.

IN A MINOR FENDER-BENDER, AT AROUND 5MP FROM A DEAD STOP, THE FRONT DRIVER BUMPER HIT A CAR IN FRONT, CAUSING A SCRATCH TO THE OTHER NEWER-MODEL CAR. BESIDES THE HEADLIGHT, BUMPER, HOOD AND FENDER DAMAGE, THE FRAME HOLDING THE ENGINE WAS BENT, CAUSING SO MUCH DAMAGE THAT THE REPAIR COSTS EQUALED THE VALUE OF THE CAR, SO IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN, MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP THAT LED TO THIS MUCH DAMAGE FROM A COMMON MINOR INCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CONTACT STRUCK A DEER ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AFTER THE CRASH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. A DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED, BUT NOT TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 480. *DT *TP*DT*JB 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'

MY 2018 NISSAN VERSA SV DOES NOT HAVE A BACKUP CAMERA. IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE UPGRADED BY THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER? ALSO IT HAS A MECHANICAL KEY SYSTEM WHICH I READ WAS GOING TO BE RECALLED ON OCT 19, 2018 DUE TO POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE MECHANICAL KEY SYSTEM, IS IT TRUE THERE IS A RECALL BEING ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM ?

WE HAD LEASED THIS VEHICLE FROM HERTZ EARLIER IN THE DAY. THAT EVENING, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL AND THE VEHICLE'S STEERING SYSTEM HAD SUDDENLY LOCKED UP. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER AND DROVE INTO A TREE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. MY PASSENGER AND I BOTH SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT BODILY INJURIES AND WERE TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED TO THE RIGHT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INSPECT THE TIRES FOR KNOTS. NISSAN SOUTH OF UNION CITY (4080 JONESBORO RD, UNION, CITY, GEORGIA 30291, (770) 964-4900) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FIRESTONE (4599 JONESBORO RD, UNION CITY, GEORGIA 30291, (770) 225-1531) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IMPROPERLY ALIGNED AND THAT ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 103,000.

I WAS PERFORMING A MONTHLY INSPECTION UNDERNEATH MY 2018 NISSAN VERSA IN AUGUST 2018 TO INSURE THERE WAS NOT ANY VISIBLE LEAKS. UPON MY INSPECTION I OBSERVED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL LOCATED ON THE AREA WHERE THE ENGINE MEETS THE TRANSMISSION. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 8-30-2018. UPON THEIR INSPECTION THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED IT WAS "NORMAL" FOR THIS AREA TO SEEP / LEAK OIL EVEN ON NEW CARS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FURTHER STATED NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY UNLESS THE OIL WAS " HITTING THE GROUND" THE OIL WAS WIPED OFF AT THIS TIME. OVER THE COURSE OF THE FOLLOWING COUPLE OF WEEKS I CHECKED AREA SEVERAL TIMES AND OBSERVED OIL REAPPEARING. EACH TIME I WIPED THE OIL OFF , IT CONTINUES TO SEEP/ LEAK OR REAPPEAR A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER WIPING AREA. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SUDDEN COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE SEAL WHERE THE OIL IS REAPPEARING AND THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE HAZARD. PHOTO OF ISSUE ATTACHED.

MY CAR WILL TURN OFF COMPLETELY WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT IS VERY UNSAFE, I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S HAPPENING. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW.

AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLACT WHEN CAR HAD A HARD IMPACK HIT TO FRONT OF CAR. I WAS GOING 40MPH OR MORE WHEN A CAR COME INTO MY LINE. INODER TO AVOID THE HEAD ON COLISION I SHRIVED TO THE RIGHT AND HIT A IN GROUND BRICK THAT WERE BOUNDED INTO THE GROUND. THE FRONT END AND ENGINE WAS DAMAGE. THE CAR IS NOW AT COLOIAL COLISION. THIS A CONCERN TO ME THIS VELICAL NEEDS TO BE CHECKED OUT. I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICAL AGAN.

BACKUP CAMERA IS NOT STANDARD IN THIS VEHICLE. YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE HIGHEST TRIM LEVEL TO GET ONE. THIS IS AGAINST THE 2018 REGULATIONS.

ON NISSAN MOTORS USA WEBSITE, THE LOWER TRIMS LEVELS OF THE VERSA SEDAN DO NOT INCLUDE BACKUP CAMERAS! WASN'T THAT MADE MANDATORY!?
