Summary

I PURCHASED A 2019 NISSAN VERSA JUNE OF 2020 WITH ONLY 9,000 MILES ON IT FROM A LICENSED DEALER. AUGUST OF 2020, WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED BETWEEN GEAR 4/5, ALL OF MY ELECTRIC WAS LOST(TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY, INTERIOR/DASH LIGHTS) ABOUT 2 SECONDS LATER ALL LIGHTS RETURNED. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN IN OCTOBER OF 2020. SAME CONDITIONS. THERE WERE NO OTHER ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, NOTHING. THEN AGAIN IN DECEMBER OF 2020, SAME ISSUE. SINCE DECEMBER, I NOTICED MY VEHICLE HESITATING MORE AND MORE TO TURN THE ENGINE ON WHEN STARTING. FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY 2021, MY VEHICLE DID NOT START. I WAITED A MOMENT AND TRIED AGAIN, IT STARTED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A NISSAN DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THEY SCANNED MY OBD FOR CODES - NONE TO BE FOUND. SAID THE ODB SYSTEM WAS "MONITORING" ONE OF THE SYSTEMS' (BCM) BUT DIDN'T HAVE ANY CODES STORED. AFTER REQUESTING THEM TO RE-FLASH MY BCM, THEY THEN RESPONDED THAT IT WAS MY TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR THAT WAS BEING MONITORED. I HAVE HAD A FAILED BCM BEFORE SO THE SYMPTOMS WITH THE CAR ARE VERY CONSISTENT WITH A FAILING BCM. I PAID $160 TOTAL FOR THEM TO TELL ME THE CAR IS PERFECT. OBVIOUSLY NOT BECAUSE VEHICLES JUST DON'T LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE A 5 YEAR OLD CHILD WHO GOES EVERYWHERE WITH ME. IF IT IS IN FACT THE BCM AND I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT FAILED WHILE DRIVING HIGH SPEEDS - NEITHER OF US ARE LIKELY TO WALK AWAY UNINJURED. THERE ARE NO AFTER-MARKET PARTS ON THE VEHICLE. NO MODIFICATIONS. THE VEHICLE GETS DETAILED/CLEANED/MAINTAINED REGULARLY AS NEEDED TO KEEP EXTENDED WARRANTY VALID. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I HAVE A 360 DASH CAM ARRIVING THIS WEEKEND SO THE NEXT TIME IT "SURGES" POWER - I HAVE PROOF.

Summary

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON MINOR ICY OR SNOWY ROADS (NOT EXTREMELY SLICK) WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKES THE CAR DOES NOT STOP OR SLOW. I HEAR A RATTLLING NOISE IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR THAT I AM TOLD IS THE VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGING. I PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE AND THE RATTLLING CONTINUES BUT THE CAR DOES NOT SLOW OR STOP. I HAVE NARROWLY MISSED HAVING TWO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS WHEN I HAD TO PULL OF THE ROAD OR INTO ANOTHER LANE TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS NOT FOLLOWING CLOSELY, THE CAR FAILED TO BRAKE ON EACH INSTANCE FOR 80-150 FEET. THE FLASHING ICON COMES ON SHOWING THE VDC IS IN USE. DURING THE LAST MOST SERIOUS INSTANCE THE ICON SHOWING THAT THE SYSTEM HAD TURNED ITSELF OFF CAME ON. I KNOW YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO PUMP THE BRAKES WITH THE SYSTEM, AND I DID NOT UNTIL THE LAST MOMENT WHEN I HAD TO TURN SHARPLY TO AVOID A COLLISION. PUMPED, TURNED AND BRAKES FINALLY HELD. IN EACH CASE I WAS TRAVELLING AT 25-30 MPH ON LEVEL TWO LANE HIGHWAY IN SNOWY, ICY, BUT NOT SEVERLY SO,CONDITIONS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN COLORADO FOR 40 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT, OR DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING MY CAR IN ICE OR SNOW. ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES THE BRAKES HELD BUT THE CAR PULLED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. I AM SCHEDULED TO SEE DEALER TOMORROW.
