There are 2 owner-reported visibility & wipers complaints for the 2012 Nissan Versain NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE GLARE OF THE SUN REFLECTED ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND DISTRACTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND EMITTED BLACK SMOKE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED SECOND DEGREE BURNS TO THE LEFT ARM AND RIGHT HAND THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 02/03/17*LJ *CN
BOTH FRONT SUN VISORS HAVE FAILED AND HANG DOWN SO THE FIELD OF VIEW LOOKING OUT THROUGH WINDSHIELD IS OBSTRUCTED. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WANT US TO PAY $500.00 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, SAYS IT WAS NOT RECALLED AND VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WILL NEED TO GET VELCRO AND DIY TO CORRECT PROBLEM UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE TO FORCE THEM TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY ISSUE.
