2010 Nissan Versa Complaint Log

WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL DOES NOT ALWAYS GET CAR MOVING. THERE IS HESITATION. AT A STOP, PUT PRESSURE ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL, CAR DOESN'T MOVE, BUT THEN WILL ENGAGE AFTER A SOME SECONDS, AND JUMP FORWARD. I'VE BEEN AT A STOP EITHER STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND IF ON A HILL, WILL ROLL BACKWARDS BECAUSE I CANNOT GET ANY ACCELERATION IN CAR. WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, WILL SOMETIMES STALL OUT, BUT WILL THEN PICK UP ACCELERATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS BLOWN OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT CONTROL ARM FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

WHILE DRIVING IN I 55 ON THE RIGHT LANE THE STIRRING WHEEL GOT LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE WENT TO THE RIGHT INTO A DITCH IN THE SHOP AFTER THE ACCIDENT ,IT WAS HARD TO REMOVE THE IGNITION SWITCH ! DEFINITIVELY NO ALCOHOL NOR SLEEP;

THE SPRING IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE AS I WAS BACKING THE CAR OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF MY 2010 NISSAN VERSA DROPPED. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE WHEEL WELL, I COULD SEE THE BROKEN SPRING. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. THE PASSENGER SIDE SPRING WAS ALSO DAMAGED: LARGE CHUNKS OF THE SPRING HAD BROKEN OFF, BUT THE SPRING HAD NOT BROKEN THROUGH YET. I ONLY HAVE 25,835 MILES ON THE CAR. I FOLLOW THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AT THE NISSAN DEALER. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT THIS HAPPENED ON THE DRIVEWAY AND THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED. *TR

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 HAVEN'T EVEN PASSED 67000 MILES ON MY CAR. PLEASE KNOW THAT ALLSTATE WAS CALLED AND ADVISED OF ISSUE ON FEB.17,2015 SAME DAY AS INCIDENT. MY REPRESENTATIVES NAME WAS SARAH AND SHE ADVISED ME TO CALL NISSAN AND THEY MUST SUPPLY A BETTER PART OR A BETTER VEHICLE DUE TO A LACK OF RESPONSE AND LACK OF SAFETY PARAMETER OF MY SONS LIFE AND IF I WAS I THE VEHICLE, MY LIFE!

I HAVE NOT YET BEEN INVOLVED IN A CRASH AS A RESULT OF THIS PART, BUT I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED A CREAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE SPRINGS IN MY 2010 NISSAN VERSA 1.8 SL AND I AM VERY WORRIED THAT SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT OTHER VERSA OWNERS HAVE REPORTED IN THE CURRENT ONGOING INVESTIGATION WILL HAPPEN TO ME AND WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED OF ANY CHANGES IN THE INVESTIGATION. I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP MANY TIMES TO FIX SUSPENSION PROBLEMS THAT HAVE COST ME A FORTUNE AND I WANT TO KNOW THE MINUTE A REMEDY HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE FROM NISSAN. AGAIN, MY SUSPENSION HAS NOT YET COLLAPSED AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE, BUT THE CREAKING SOUND STARTED IN FEBRUARY AND HAS NOT YET BEEN FIXED DESPITE TWO SEPARATE TRIPS TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE CENTER.

2010 NISSAN VERSA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL REGULATOR FAILURE AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF. *SMD

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

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 HAVING TO REPLACE MY FRONT-END SPRINGS IN 2010 NISSAN VERSA DUE TO THE DRIVER-SIDE SPRING BREAKING AND THE PASSENGER-SIDE BECOMING VERY WORN AND ABOUT TO BREAK. MY STRUTS AND OTHER PARTS OF THE SUSPENSION ARE FINE AND I HAVE NOT HAD TO REPLACE THOSE YET. SINCE I DON'T TOW ANYTHING OR PUT VERY HEAVY ITEMS IN MY CAR, I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD REPLACE MY SPRINGS OTHER THAN THAT PART BEING DEFECTIVE. SPRINGS USUALLY LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR UNLESS YOU REGULARLY TOW, DRIVE ON DIRT ROADS, OR PUT HEAVY ITEMS IN THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT A NUMBER OF VERSA OWNERS ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THEIR SPRINGS DUE TO WEAR, WHICH SEEMS SUSPICIOUS. *TR

ACCIDENT INVOLVED CAR SPINNING THROUGH INTERSECTION REAR OF CAR IN DIRECTION OF MOTION, REAR OF CAR IMPACTED STATIONARY FORD F-150 THEN ROLLED INTO DITCH. DURING COURSE OF IMPACT DRIVER'S SEAT BACK DID NOT REMAIN LOCKED IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION, AT CONCLUSION OF IMPACT DRIVER'S SEAT WAS INVOLUNTARILY ALLOWED TO GO TO THE FULLY RECLINED POSITION, 6 YR OLD REAR SEAT PASSENGER WAS PARTIALLY IMPACTED BY SEAT BACK BUT DUE TO CUSHION OF SEAT NO MAJOR INJURY WAS SUSTAINED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,001. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED OVER A LOW PROFILE SPEED BUMP I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND MY CAR PROFILE DROPPED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE REMAINED AT THE NORMAL HEIGHT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE COIL ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE STRUT POPPED OUT OF THE HOLDER SECURING IT AND BARELY MISSED SEVERING MY BRAKE LINE. AS A CONSEQUENCE, I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STRUT ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND AS A PRECAUTION ALSO REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE. MOREOVER, THE SUSPENSE WHILE REPAIRED WITHIN A WEEKS TIME, REQUIRED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE TIRES DUE TO WEAR PATTERS CAUSED BY THE SUSPENSION ISSUE. SUCH TIRES WERE AT HALF LIFE, BUT REGARDLESS WERE CHANGED AS A PRECAUTION SINCE IT WAS WINTER TIME IN THE NORTHEAST. MY FATHER KEPT THE ENTIRE STRUT ASSEMBLY OF BOTH SIDES SHOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT THEM. I ALSO TOOK PHOTOS OF THE STRUT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO THE REPAIR.

I SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT IN OCTOBER OF 2014 REGARDING MY FAILED FRONT END SUSPENSION. SUCH ISSUE HAS SINCE GENERATED A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER RECEIVED THE SAME REPAIR DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED TO YOUR INVESTIGATOR. THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER MY REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST UNLESS I ALLOW A NISSAN SERVICE TECH TAKE MY FRONT END SUSPENSION APART AND RE-PERFORM THE REPAIR WORK COMPLETED BY A NON-NISSAN TECH IN OCTOBER. I AM ONLY REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT OF PART COSTS AND NOT LABOR. I HAVE OFFERED TO ALLOW A NISSAN TECH TO INSPECT THE WORK, BUT THIS RESOLUTION HAS BEEN DEEM UNACCEPTABLE BY NISSAN. ESSENTIALLY, THEY PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT DONE PRIOR TO RECALL UNLESS PERFORMED BY THEIR TECHNICIANS. IS THIS ENFORCEABLE? MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE COIL WAS THE ONLY PIECE OF THE SUSPENSION RECALLED DESPITE THE FACT THAT GASKETS WERE MISSING FROM THE ASSEMBLY WHICH LED TO METAL ON METAL CONTACT AND THEREFORE WEAKENED THE STRUT ASSEMBLY NOT THE ROAD SALT AS THEY INDICATE IN THEIR RECALL. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? I WOULDN'T AUTHORIZE SUCH NONSENSE FOR A $ 139 REFUND BECAUSE IT JUST MAKES NO SENSE IN TERMS OF LOST TIME. STRUT 1 IMAGE IS THE FAILED STRUT ASSEMBLY. STRUT 2 IS THE FACTORY STRUT ASSEMBLY.

FRONT BROKEN COIL SPRINGS. WHEN I TOOK MY NISSAN VERSA 1.8 S HATCHBACK FOR A REGULAR OIL MAINTENANCE AND TIRE ROTATION THE MECHANIC TOLD ME BOTH COIL SPRINGS HAD SNAPPED AND BROKEN AND IN ALMOST THE EXACT SAME LOCATION ON THE BOTTOM COIL, MILEAGE ON MY CAR IS ON 33,400 MILES, AND 4 YEARS OLD. NOT SURE WHEN THE COILS WERE SNAPPED AND BROKEN. I SPOKE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I MIGHT HAVE DRIVEN VERY HARD OVER THE POT HOLES AND BROKE THEM MYSELF AND THEY ARE NOT FAULTY PARTS, WHICH SOUNDS VERY RIDICULOUS TO ME. THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR A 4 YEAR OLD AND LESS MILEAGE CAR WOULD HAVE A BROKEN COILS. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND SAW SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME SITUATION, HERE IS THE LINK TO THE DISCUSSION FORUMS. HTTP://WWW.NISSANVERSAFORUMS.COM/BRAKES-SUSPENSION/2743-BROKEN-COIL-SPRINGS.HTML. *TR

THE MUFFLER ON MY CAR HAS RUSTED AND BROKEN A CLEAN CUT. NISSAN SHOULD WARRANTY THIS. THEY CLAIM ITS FROM DRIVING SALTED ROADS BUT WHILE I WAS IN THE WAITING ROOM TWO OTHER CUSTOMERS WALKED IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A WARRANTY ISSUE. THEY WANTED OVER $500 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THE SAME WORK DONE FOR ONLY $200. THEY HAVE TO NOW REPLACE MY MUFFLER AND FLANGE. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID IT LOOKS LIKE THEY USED BAD MATERIALS ON THE MUFFLER AND THAT THEY HAVE SERVICED MANY 2008-2011 VERSA'S THIS YEAR WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT BREAKS OFF RIGHT AT THE PART WHERE THE PIPE MEETS THE EXHAUST. THIS IS TERRIBLE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND STRUGGLING AS IT IS TO GET BY WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT FAULTY OR POORLY MADE PRODUCTS. THEY SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLES AND REPLACE THESE PROBLEMATIC PARTS. *TR

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.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LEVEL ROADWAY AT A SPEED OF 45MPH I NOTICED A SHARP NOISE COME FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. JUST AFTER HEARING THIS NOISE I NOTICED THE TIRE MONITOR LIGHT ILLUMINATE. I DROVE TO A SAFE AREA AND SAW THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT. I TOOK OFF THE FRONT TIRE AND NOTICED A LARGE PUNCTURE IN THE INSIDE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE AND FIGURED I HAD RUN OVER A LARGE BOLT OR OTHER ITEM AND CAUGHT IT JUST RIGHT ON THE SIDEWALL. I PUT THE SPARE ON THE CAR AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME. I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT OF THE CAR SEEMED TO HAVE SQUATTED SOMEWHAT AND THE CAR WAS EXHIBITING A SLIGHT PULL. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE COIL SPRING HAD SNAPPED IT TWO. THIS BROKEN SPRING HAD THEN PUNCTURED MY TIRE. FORTUNATELY IT DID NOT IMMEDIATELY CAUSE A BLOWOUT OF THE TIRE. I SEE NO REASON WHY THIS SPRING SHOULD HAVE BROKEN. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THIS VERY ISSUE APPEARS TO HAPPEN QUITE A BIT WITH THE NISSAN VERSA AND IS DOCUMENTED IN MANY INCIDENTS ON THE INTERNET. I AM OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY RANGE FOR THE VEHICLE AND WILL HAVE TO EAT THE COST OF THIS REPAIR. I FEEL THAT THIS FAILURE IS PROBABLY THE RESULT OF USING INFERIOR METAL IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE SPRING. I HAVE NEVER OWNED ANOTHER CAR THAT HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. THIS IS NOT A RUST PROBLEM EITHER. IT IS APPARENTLY METAL FATIGUE/FAILURE. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF THE TIRE HAD BLOWN? WHO WOULD ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY WHEN MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE CAR AND I AM IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS? THERE WAS NO WARNING. HOW DO I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR? I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN OVER THIS ISSUE. I DOUBT I WOULD BUY ANOTHER OF THEIR PRODUCT BECAUSE OF THIS. I FEEL THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. I HOPE BY MY SHARING MY EXPERIENCE I CAN KEEP OTHERS MORE INFORMED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, A DEER CROSSED THE CONTACT'S PATH AND IMPACTED THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING A CRASH. THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO BOTH ARMS AND THE FACE. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LEFT HAND AND NECK. THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK AND BACK. ALL REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *TT *JS

WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME FROM CLASS APPROX 11:45 AM, I TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITIONED AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND STARTED SHAKING. I PRESSED THE EMERGENCY LIGHT AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO A SHOULDER. I WAIT A FEW MINUTES TURNED THE CAR AND IT STARTED SHAKING AND MAKING THE LOUD NOISE. I TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND I DROVE HOME. *TR

DRIVING ON FREEWAY RAMP, CAR EXHIBITED AN AUDIBLE BANG. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, THE CAR DROVE OKAY BUT HAD SLOPPY AND UNRESPONSIVE HANDLING. UPON EXAMINATION, THE COIL SPRING ON THE FRONT DRIVE SIDE BROKE IN HALF. LUCKILY IT JUST MISSED PUNCTURING THE TIRE. *TR

HEARD A LOUD SNAPPING OR CRACKING NOISE AND THEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR DROPPED DOWN. HAD TOWED TO LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE SPRING COIL IN THE STRUT ASSEMBLY WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY 44,000 MILES ON IT. CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DID NOT COVER THIS. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS PART SHOULD BREAK LIKE THIS AND HAVE BEEN READING THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ON-LINE BUT NISSAN WILL NOT HELP. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

5/18/14 PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT (IN REVERSE) HEARD A HORRIBLE NOISE (GRINDING/CRUNCHING) FRONT LEFT WHEEL. BROUGHT CAR DIRECTLY HOME, BUT EVERY POTHOLE HIT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS HITTING THE ROAD. 5/20/14 BROUGHT CAR TO MECHANIC TO CHECK OUT FRONT END. WAS INFORMED THAT LEFT SUSPENSION COIL SPRING BROKE. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR DAMAGE STRUTS OR TIRE. NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH COIL SPRINGS AT A COST OF $544.41. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE COIL SPRINGS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED IT WAS THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING THAT HAD FALLEN OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TURNING AT 20 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER'S TIRE DEFLATED. THE SPARE WAS INSTALLED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER FRONT COIL SPRING FAILED AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE DRIVER FRONT COIL SPRING ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

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.

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.

MUFFLER ASSEMBLY GASKET/WELD FAILED. REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF MUFFLER, GASKET AND TAILPIPE. NISSAN DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VERSA HOWEVER THEY DO NOT WARRANTY THIS. *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

LH OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE HAS COME LOOSE. WILL PROBABLY BREAK SOON. COMES LOOSE WHEN OPENING FORM OUTSIDE. *TR

I HERE A LOUD POPPING NOISE IN THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN MOVING IN EITHER DIRECTION. HAVING PROBLEMS KEEPING TIRES ON FRONT OF VEHICLE. STARTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT GETTING LOUDER AND BEGINNING TO FEEL IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL.

MY 2010 NISSAN VERSA TIRE RIMS HAS MAJOR RUST ON ALL FOUR RIMS. I LIVE IN GEORGIA - PRETTY MUCH WARM WEATHER, LITTLE TO NO SNOW. WHERE IS THIS RUST COMING FROM AND IS THE WHOLE FRAME RUSTED OUT. I AM VERY CONCERN. *TR

LOUD NOISE WHEN DRIVING. TOOK TO LOCAL MECHANIC NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD THE FLANGE BROKE FROM THE MUFFLER. *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

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

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. THE RHEOSTAT MUST HAVE BEEN STUCK AND BECOME UNSTUCK AND I WOULD HAVE PAID FOR A REPAIR THAT WAS NOT NEEDED AND BEEN SCAMMED. *TR

MY CAR STARTED KNOCKING WHEN I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC I WAS TOLD MY MOTOR WAS REBUILT AND NOW THE OIL PUMP IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY SO ITS CAUSING MY MOTOR TO KNOCK. *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

I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON RT. 9 IN WEST CHESTERFIELD NH. A LARGE, WHITE, UNMARKED BOX TRUCK BEGAN TAILGATING ME. IT WAS QUITE ALARMING, BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS VERY LARGE AND HE WAS VERY CLOSE BEHIND ME. I WAS TRAVELING 5 MPH ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT AND HE WAS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO MY BACK BUMPER. AT ONE POINT, I'M SURE THERE WAS LESS THAN ONE CAR LENGTH BETWEEN US. IT LOOKED LIKE A BUSINESS TRUCK, BUT THERE WERE NO MARKINGS. THE LICENSE PLATE WAS FROM CONNECTICUT, NUMBER K97642. THE DRIVER WAS ALSO SWERVING BEHIND ME, AS IF HE WAS CONSIDERING PASSING. IT MADE ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED FROM A DEALERSHIP 11/3/2011, NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER, HAD REMAINDER OF REGULAR VEHICLE WARRANTY LEFT ON IT, NO PROBLEMS UNTIL THE OTHER DAY I THOUGHT IT SOUNDED LOUDER THAN NORMAL, SO WHEN I DROVE IT YESTERDAY IT WAS STILL LOUDER AND I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND THE MUFFLER IS LOOSE AND THE EXHAUST SOUNDS TERRIBLE. THIS IS TERRIBLE FOR A NOT EVEN THREE YEAR OLD CAR WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT!!! 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! MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS A DODGE AND I HAD IT FOR 7 YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MUFFLER OR EXHAUST NEEDING REPLACED IN 7 YEARS!! *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE TODAY I NOTICED A CLICKING NOISE IN THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AS I TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT. NOTHING APPEARS TO BE LOOSE AND I CAN'T PIN POINT THE ORIGIN OF THE NOISE. *TR

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.

2010 NISSAN VERSA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE CRASH. CONSUMER STATES THAT VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. *LD THE CONSUMER STATEE THE VEHILE INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN WHICH THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *JS

THE COIL SPRING ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BROKE. IT DROVE FINE THE DAY BEFORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT THE NEXT MORNING AND FOUND IT BROKEN. NO ROUGH ROADS OR UNUSUAL DRIVING. *TR

SINCE PURCHASE (PRE-OWNED WITH ~28K MILES IN 2/12) CAR MADE POPPING NOISES AROUND BOTH FRONT TIRES WHEN TURNING INTERMITTENTLY. HAD IT LOOKED AT BY LOCAL MECHANIC; COULD NOT FIND ISSUE. 5.10.13 HEARD LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN CAR WAS JUST SITTING IN DRIVEWAY. THAT EVENING BEGAN TO PULL OUT OF DRIVEWAY TO HORRIBLE GRINDING/SCREECHING NOISE. STOPPED AND PARKED CAR. TOWED CAR TO LOCAL MECHANIC. BROKEN COIL SPRING WAS DIAGNOSED. BEGAN RESEARCHING, THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AT VARIOUS YEARS AND MILEAGES OF THE VERSA. NISSAN REGIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFFICE (KELLY X458169) OFFERED TO REIMBURSE TOW AND SEND A SERVICE CREDIT FOR $125.00 BUT NOT TO ADMIT THAT THERE WAS A LEGITIMATE PROBLEM WITH THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT COVER THE ENTIRE COST OR TO REPLACE THE OTHER ONE, WHICH THE NISSAN DEALER (THAT I HAD TO TOW TO FROM THE OTHER MECHANIC) SUGGESTED. THERE ARE A COUNTLESS PEOPLE THAT HAVE ENDURED THIS DEFECT AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL/SERVICE COMPLETED TO CHECK ALL COIL SPRINGS. THIS IS DANGEROUS. IF DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS IT COULD EASILY SHRED THE TIRE, CAUSE ONE TO LOSE CONTROL, AND HURT/KILL PASSENGERS OR OTHER DRIVERS. NISSAN IS IGNORING THIS ISSUE, NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAULTY PARTS, AND JUST TRYING TO COVER IT UP BY OFFERING CREDITS. I HAVE A 10 YR OLD HYUNDAI AND A 19 YR OLD FORD AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. IT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A 3 YR OLD VEHICLE WITH 41K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ROOF STARTED MELTING AND SMOKE WAS SEEN COMING FROM THE ROOF. A FIRE DID NOT ERUPT. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER OR A MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH OVER A POTHOLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD FAIL ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS.
