my air conditioning is not working. i believe wires in my care are covered with soy which is an attractant to mice and rats and causes them to climb into my car and eat the wires, causing the car to malfunction. we need to outlaw and ban the use of soy feedstuffs on car wires, this is just ridiculous for allowing this to happen, to make cars a magnet for mice and rats.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Versa. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle hesitated before the loss of motive power. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the #3 cylinder misfired. The coils and spark plugs were replaced however, the failure recurred. Additionally, it was determined that the PCM was faulty and needed to be replaced or reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer and the local dealer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE JERKS AT TIMES MAKING THE VEHICLE LUNGE FORWARD. IT ALSO DOES NOT ENGAGE FROM A STOP OR SLOW SPEED PLACING ME IN DANGER OF BEING HIT BY THE VEHICLES HESITATION. WHEN GOING UP A HILL THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE OR SLIPS PRIOR TO ENGAGING SO I HAVE NO POWER TO GO UP THE HILL. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AT A STOP SIGN SO WHEN I PULL OUT I NEVER KNOW IF I WILL BE STUCK IN THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. THIS TRANSMISSION IS DANGEROUS. WHEN TURNING THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE FOR A SHORT TIME JERKING THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THERE IS A LOT OF HESITATION WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, OFTEN SHAKING AND SHUDDERING. IT'S VERY SLOW TO ACCELERATE, AND GETTING TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS USUALLY TAKES QUITE A WHILE. ANYTHING OVER 65MPH CAUSES THE CAR TO PUSH INTO ABOUT 3500 RPM. WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT, IT SHAKES AND SHUDDERS.

IN MAY 2020, PURCHASED 2013 VERSA USED FOR DAUGHTER. ON 1/1/2021, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND AT SAME TIME THE RPM NEEDLE JERKED UP & DOWN. TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO TRANSMISSION. THIS IS TERRIFYING BECAUSE THE CAR IS JERKING & NOT ACCELERATING WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING(IN MOTION). I DID OBSERVE THAT ANOTHER COMPLAINT WAS MADE 10/25/2018 BY CAR VIN# SIMILAR TO OUR CAR-THAT COMPLAINT WAS VIN 3N1CN7AP8DL....PLEASE HELP.

I WAS ON THE STREET AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED GOING FORWARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. NOW THE CAR STARTS, JUGGLE BACK AND FORTH BUT I CAN'T GO OVER 45 MILES PER HOUR. NO ONE AT NISSAN WILL HELP ME. TELLS ME IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. WITH COVID I DON'T MAKE ENOUGH TO BUY ANOTHER CAR AND LIVE A NORMAL LIFE. I AM STILL PAYING FOR A BROKEN CAR.

THERE IS HESITATION WHEN I ACCELERATE, IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT TO GET UP TO SPEED (WHICH ISN'T GREAT WHEN YOU'RE ON THE FREE WAY). WHEN I PUSH ON THE BREAK AND THEN TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK IT FEELS LIKE MY CAR IS STILL BREAKING. WHEN I'M STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT MY CAR SHAKES.

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE GOING UP A BRIDGE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO THESE VEHICLES WITH THE TRANSMISSION TYPE. IT IS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF THIS TRANSMISSION TYPE. SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE, IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALLS.

POWER TRAIN
THIS NISSAN VERSA 4 DOOR FAMILY VEHICLE WAS MADE WITH A FAULTY CVT BY NISSAN WHICH IS SLIPPING AND PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING PROPERLY CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING HAZARD WHILE ON THE ROAD. A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST INFORMED US THAT NISSAN'S ARE NOTORIOUS FOR PRODUCING VEHICLES WITH FAULTY CVTS AND THEY DO NOT PROVIDE PARTS SO THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED COSTING OVER 4,000 DOLLARS. WE CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALER AND NISSAN U.S.A. AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO HELP US WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. THEY DO NOT CARE THAT THEY PRODUCED ANOTHER LEMON! WE ARE FORCED TO MAKE MONTHLY CAR PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT WE CANNOT DRIVE!

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AFTER CHARGING ME $119.84 I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE REPAIRED FOR A COST OF $1136.00. I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY OR MAY NOT GO OFF IF I WERE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT TO ME. I'VE OWNED A LOT OF CARS AND I'VE NEVER HAD AN AIRBAG GET WORN OUT AND BREAK. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR OCCASIONALLY WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP. HAD NISSAN PERFORM A BRAKE SYSTEM FLUSH AND STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THEY ASKED ABOUT CHANGING OUT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE WAY THAT THEY ASKED MADE ME BELIEVE THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW OF A PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MAKE OF CAR. I CHECKED UP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND NOTICED AN INVESTIGATION IS IN PROGRESS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS IN STREET TRAFFIC OR HIGHWAY WHEN TRYING TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE AND IS INTERMITTENT IN NATURE AND STILL OCCURS AFTER THE BRAKE FLUSH TO REMOVE ANY AIR IN THE SYSTEM.
