DRIVING IN SAN FRANCISCO IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED-LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE PEOPLE BEHIND BE HONK-THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES.TOOK THE CAR IN AND WAS TOLD THE CAR STARTS IN HIGH GEAR. THEY TRIED TO ADJUST THE CVT A FEW TIMES, BUT THERE IS STILL AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH MY STEERING WHEEL TURNED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT I HEARD A LOUD METAL THUMP IN THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WELL. THE NEXT DAY AT THE SERVICE SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A BROKEN RIGHT FRONT SPRING THAT HAD COMPROMISED MY STRUT. THE WHOLE REPAIR ENDED UP COSTING ME $749. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT DRIVE A 2012 VERSA WITH ONLY 56,753 MILES ON IT! THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS SPRING SHOULD HAVE BROKEN! I DIDN'T HIT ANY BUMPS OR POTHOLES, I WAS JUST PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND POPPED A TIRE OR SEVERED A BRAKE LINE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE SPRINGS THAT ARE BEING USED, NISSAN NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR JULY 2014 WITH ONLY 1,700 MILES. APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS INTO DRIVING IT, I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING A "CLICK" SOUND WHEN I BRAKE, WHETHER I GO SLOW OR FAST AND BRAKE THE CLICK SOUND IS THERE. SOMETIMES I GET A DOUBLE "CLICK" SOUND BEFORE THE CAR STOPS. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN SO I HOPE NOTHING BAD HAPPENS TO US. I CALLED THE DEALER AND LEFT MESSAGES BUT NO ONE IS GETTING BACK TO ME. I MUST BRING THIS CAR IN ASAP. I APPRECIATE ANY INPUT OR CALL BACK FROM A REPRESENTATIVE AT NHTSA.

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR AN P0101 OBDII CODE WAS TRIGGERED. CODE WAS VERIFIED WITH A AUTOXRAY CODESCOUT 2500 OBDII CODE READER. CODE WAS CLEARED. ONE MONTH LATER WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MILES PER HOUR AN ADDITIONAL P0101 OBDDII CODE WAS TRIGGERED. AGAIN CODE WAS VERIFIED WITH SAME MODEL CODE READER. CODE WAS CLEARED AND THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS REPLACED WITH AN AFTERMARKET DELPHI SENSOR PART# AF10141 BY A INDEPENDENT CAR MECHANIC. MILEAGE WAS 52300 AT SENSOR CHANGE. OVER THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WERE MADE TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP MECHANICS AT VAN NUYS NISSAN OF ROUGH IDLE AT SPEEDS BELOW 40 MILES PER HOUR AND IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN PURCHASED. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE OR RESOLVE ISSUE. REPLACEMENT OF MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR CORRECTED CONDITION.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING, INDICATING THAT IT WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. IS THIS A DESIGN FLAW OR A SYSTEMS MALFUNCTION? I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VERSA YEAR 2012 MODELS.

MY CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 56,000 MILES ON IT AND SINCE HAVING THIS CAR I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR OF THE MASS AIR FLOW AND RELATED COMPONENTS ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I HAVE HAD 1 CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AND KNOWS SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH THE SUSPENSION. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS SAME ISSUES WHICH IS SASID TO BE THE SPRING COILS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES WITH A CAR THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT. NISSAN NEEDS TO OFFER EVERY CUSTOMERS THAT OWNS THIS CAR A REPLACEMENT CAR.SERIOUSLY!!! NOT TO MENTION ALL THE OTHER RECALLS THAT NEVER GET ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR VIN BUT, STILL HAS THE ISSUES.

MY CAR WILL NOT MOVE WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED, IT STUTTERS AND VIBRATES THEN JERKS. THE TRANSMISSION CATCHES THEN RPM HIT 7500 VERY UNSAFE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I STOP AND GO. TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEREFORE COULD NOT FIX IT. THIS IS ( BS ) CAUSE IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ALSO WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL I FEEL SOMETHING MOVING AND HEAR POPPING NOISE ON THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. *TR

VEHICLE NOT IN MOTION HITTED IN THE BACK WHILE PARKED , ANOTHER TIME IN MOTION LEFT DOOR. TRY TO CONTACT SEVERAL DEALERS TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS FOR THE RECALL THEY NEVER CONTACTED ME BACK , WAITING TIME WAS EXTREMELY LONG AND SCHEDULES UNAVAILABLE

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW WITH 18 MILES ON IT. AT APPROXIMATELY 25K I WAS DOING A FLUID CHECK ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STUTTER WHILE ACCELERATING. WHEN I POPPED THE HOOD OPEN I NOTICED THE MY COOLANT RESERVOIR TANK WAS BONE DRY. I FOUND SOME COOLANT IN MY GARAGE AND IMMEDIATELY ADDED IT TO THE RESERVOIR TO GET IT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING DAY I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY SITUATION. THE SERVICE TECH LOOKED AT THE CAR AND KEPT SAYING THAT THE TANK WAS FULL AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT EVEN THOUGH I EXPLAINED THAT I ADDED SOME TO GET IT THERE. THEY FINALLY TOOK MY CAR BACK AND HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS. WHEN I CAME DOWN TO PICK IT UP THAT SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID THEY PRESSURE TESTED THE COOLING SYSTEM AND FOUND NO LEEKS AND TOLD ME I WAS IMAGING THING AS FAR AS THE STUTTER WITH MY TRANNY. AT APPROXIMATELY 32K AGAIN I WAS LOW (1/4 FULL) ON COOLANT AND THE STUTTER STILLED HAPPENED INTERMITTINGLY. AGAIN I TOOK IT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD IT FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. AT APPROX. 38K THE STUTTERING HAD GOTTEN WORSE AND THERE WOULD BE TIMES THAT ID PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN FOR ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE TRANNY ONLY THIS TIME. AND THEY TOLD ME WITH OUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A COUPE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE TRANNY WOULD NOT RESPOND WHILE PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR.

WAS STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT WHEN M FOOT GOT CAUGHT IN THE DOOR TRIM BY THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND I ALMOST RUN THROUGH THE RED LIGHT BEFORE I COULD GET MY FOOT OUT TO BRAKE. *TR

MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING ON BANGERTER HIGHWAY IN SOUTH JORDAN, UTAH. FOR SOME REASON, THERE WAS A LATCH FAILURE ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR. THERE HAD BEEN NO WARNING, NO RATTLING OF THE HOOD, NO SHAKING ETC. THE HOOD SIMPLY FLEW UP AND SMASHED INTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS LEFT ME (I WAS DRIVING) WITH NO FRONTAL VISION. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY; BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW I DID THAT. THE WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED (GLASS SHARDS ALL OVER US), THE HINGES ON THE HOOD BENT AND CAUSED A GASH IN THE FENDER ON EACH SIDE, THE HOOD WAS DENTED, AND THE TOP OF THE CAR NEAR THE WINDSHIELD WAS ALSO DENTED. I CAN NOT DETERMINE ANYTHING I COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY WHICH WOULD HAVE SAVED ME THIS AWFUL SITUATION. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM GROCERY STORE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO MEINEKE TO HAVE CODE DETERMINED. STORE MANAGER CHECKED MY CAR FOR CODE, HE FOUND CODE IS 007 AND IT WILL COST ME OVER $400 TO REPAIR. I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE AUTO UNTIL IT GETS REPAIRED. THIS PART SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH LOW MILEAGE AND AGE OF VEHICLE! HE SAID CAR WILL DISABLE IF I DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS IF IT DISABLES WHILE DRIVING! I HAVE DRS APPTS TO GO TO AND CANNOT BE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE IT! IS THIS A RECALL FOR THIS PART?

2012 NISSAN VERSA SV 4 DOOR SEDAN WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE IS JERKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE OVER 65 MPH. RPM GAUGE WILL BOUNCE FROM 3000-4000 WHILE THE VEHICLE IS SHUDDERING. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT TRANSMISSION SINCE 2007 AND NISSAN STILL HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED SINCE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL FINALLY BREAKDOWN. I HOPE THAT THIS CAN BE FIXED AND NISSAN WILL OWN UP TO THE BAD WORKMANSHIP ON THE TRANSMISSION. I WILL CONTINUE TO POST AS THE TRANSMISSION GETS WORSE. THANK YOU! *TR

THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT OF THE CAR. IT WOULD SLOW DOWN, I HAD TO STOP, TURN IT OFF, WAIT, TURN IT BACK ON, DRIVE A LITTLE BIT, REPEAT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS, YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO DATE. WHEN YOU BUY A NEW CAR, THE KNOWN ISSUES AREN'T OUT YET BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN TIME ENOUGH TO GATHER ANY STATISTICS. THE DEALERSHIP NOR NISSAN CORPORATION WAS WILLING TO ASSIST US. WE PROVIDED SERVICE RECORDS AND THEY DEEMED THEM 'INSUFFICIENT' BECAUSE THE SERVICE WAS NOT PERFORMED THROUGH NISSAN. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT MANDATED THAT OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS BE COMPLETED AT THEIR SITE. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE OIL PUT INTO THE CAR MIGHT NOT BE MADE FOR A NISSAN VEHICLE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I'VE EVER HEARD OF AN OIL BEING MADE FOR A SPECIFIC BRAND OF CAR. THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T DUE TO BE SERVICED UNTIL BETWEEN 60,000 AND 70,000 MILES, AND WE HAD JUST TURNED 60,000 THE WEEK BEFORE. PLUS, ENGINE OIL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A TRANSMISSION, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENGINE. WE ARE STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE CAR. IF WE PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS, AND ADD TO WHAT WE STILL OWE, NOW THE CAR COSTS MORE THAN WHAT WE BOUGHT IT FOR BRAND NEW. I'VE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THESE SAME ISSUES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

WHEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, IF YOU STOP AT A TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE, ONCE YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. EVEN IF YOU HOLD THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR WILL NOT GO. ONCE IT DOES "CATCH", THE RPM'S HIT ABOUT 7000 OR 8000 AND WHEN YOU LET OFF THE PEDAL THE CAR JERKS HARD AND GOES INTO "LIMP MODE". IT DID THIS SEVENTEEN (17) TIMES AND 6 OF THEM WERE ON THE INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A CAR COMING UP BEHIND ME BECAUSE I COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR OUT OF THE ROAD IN TIME. I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND TURN IT BACK ON TO GET IT TO MOVE AND EVEN THEN IT STAYED IN LIMP MODE SO I WAS STUCK IN FIRST (1ST) GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY DAY UNTIL I FINALLY TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. COMING FROM AN AEMT, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED WITH NISSAN AND THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

FAILING INSPECTION 2 YEARS IN A ROW DUE TO NON-COMMUNICATING OBD SENSOR . FIRST YEAR NISSAN DEALERSHIP "FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS YEAR A LOCAL SHOP FIXED IT AND STATED THAT MANY OF THE GROUNDS WERE LOOSE. THE SHOP WENT THOUGH ALL OF THE GROUNDS IN THE CAR. IN ORDER FOR THE OBD TO START COMMUNICATING AGAIN. THE MECHANIC WAS IN SPEAKING WITH A NISSAN DEALER AND THEY HINTED THAT THE CARS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE GROUNDING BUT THEY WOULD SAY THE WHOLE STORY. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

CEILING (INTERIOR ROOF) IS LEAKING WHEN IT RAINS IN THE AREA WHERE THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MEETS THE WINDSHIELD, NEAR THE TOP OF THE PILLAR? I THINK IT IS CALLED. DONT KNOW WHY.

I PURCHASED A 2012 NISSAN VERSA FROM A PRIVATE OWNER FOR MY GRANDSON TO DRIVE AT COLLEGE. A WEEK AFTER THE PURCHASE, MY GRANDSON WAS DRIVING ON I95 AT 55 MPH AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. HE TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN WHILE MAKING A HORRIBLE SOUND LIKE IT WAS STUCK BETWEEN GEARS. HE COASTED TO THE NEAREST EXIT, PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. HE RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER SINCE IT ONLY HAD 18,000 MILES AND IS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT DID REPLACE A "SENSOR". TWO WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND NISSAN AGAIN REPLACED A "SENSOR". THE THIRD TIME, MY GRANDSON WAS DRIVING TO THE POCONOS AND JUST MADE IT TO THE LODGE BEFORE THE CAR SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHERE IT SITS TODAY. NISSAN IS DIRECTING ME TO CONTACT THE DISTRICT OFFICE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO YOU NEED TO GET A RECALL? DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE BEFORE NISSAN DOES THE RIGHT THING? *TR
