SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED MY 2017 NISSAN VERSA IN JULY OF 2017, WITH 10 MILES ON IT AND THAT WAS THE 10 MILES THAT I PUT ON IT DURING THE TEST DRIVE. MARCH OF 2019 MY BRAKES START TO MAKE THIS HIGH PITCH SOUND WHEN I BREAK. MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE 28,000 MILES ON IT YET. TOOK IT TO MIDAS (BECAUSE BRAKES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY) AND THEY TOLD ME MY FRONT BREAK PADS WERE THIN, SO HAD THOSE REPLACED. THREE DAYS LATER THE SOUND IS BACK. SO MIDAS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THEY JUST TOOK ME FOR $200.00. MY CAR IS STILL MAKING THE HIGH PITCH SOUND WHEN BREAKING.

I'VE HAD TO FIX MY BRAKES 3 TIMES AND IT'S ONLY BEEN A YEAR, TO TO MENTION I'M STILL HEARING A SCRATCHING SOUNDS WHEN I BRAKE. SO THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH SOMETHING ELSE AND I SHOULDN'T BE COMING OUT OF POCKET THIS MUCH FOR BRAKES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
AT 5:30, 1 DEC 2018, DRIVING 45 MPH NOTHING UNUSUAL WHEN MY CAR JUST STOPPED MOVING! I HAD MY FOOT FLAT TO THE GROUND ON THE GAS AND IT WAS NO WHERE! I HAD TO THROUGH MY HAZARDS ON BECAUSE I WAS ON A COUNTY ROAD AND NEARLY GOT HIT! I PULLED OVER INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND DROVE SOME MORE TO SEE IF IT WAS A FREAK THING BUT IT HAPPENED ABOUT 8 MORE TIMES (REALLY QUICKLY LIKE THE ENGINE DIED FOR 10 SECONDS, CAME BACK, DIED AGAIN; I WAS JUST JOLTING FORWARD WHEN IT CAME BACK ON!) IT WAS TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE SO I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP! IT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GUY IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, WHERE I AM CLOSE AND I WOULD BET MONEY IT'S THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THEY FOUND IN HIS CAR BUT NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING! I WAS JUST THERE 3 WEEKS AGO FOR MY INSPECTION!

RESULTS OF COMPLAINT # 11154861 2017 VERSA SV SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING PROBLEM: "WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE THE ENGINE STALLS OR LOSE POWER DURING ACCELERATION. TODAY 11/29/2018 IT WAS 28 DEGREES. I WARMED THE CAR UP FOR A FEW MINUTES BECAUSE OF THE STALLING PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET FOR TWO MILES WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN. I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN. THE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR WARNING PRIOR TO, DURING, OR AFTER THE TIME THE CAR SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO TURN THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION. THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THEN CRANK THE CAR BACK UP TO DRIVE OUT THE WAY OF THE CARS BEHIND ME. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECK THE CAR. THERE WERE NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER. THE DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO KEEP THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND TEST DRIVE IT IN THE MORNING WHEN IT IS COLD. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR TWO MONTHS AGO WITH 5000 MILES. TODAY IT ONLY HAS 8000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF WHEN I DRIVE IT. COMPLAINT RESULTS: TODAY, 11/30/2018 I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO GET A STATUS ON MY CAR. THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION UNIT FAILED. THEY ARE ORDERING ME A NEW TRANSMISSION. NHTSA PLEASE MAKE THIS PROBLEM KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC SO OTHER NISSAN OWNERS DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROBLEMS I AM GOING THROUGH. THANK YOU.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY PASSENGER DOOR HAS BEEN CATCHING ON SOMETHING AS IT OPENS. THE BLACK PLASTIC PIECE THAT STRETCHES OUT AS YOU OPEN THE DOOR IS VISIBLY SCRATCHED, AS IF IT IS CATCHING ON METAL IN THE DOOR. THE WINDOW ALSO HAS BEEN GETTING STUCK AND WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN ALL THE WAY. THIS WEEKEND THE DOOR WAS HARD TO OPEN, AND WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR, THE WINDOW GOT OFF TRACK. MY BOYFRIEND AND I TRIED TO SEE IF WE COULD MOVE IT, BUT DID NOT WANT TO MESS IT UP ANY MORE THAN IT ALREADY WAS. HE WENT TO ROLL IT DOWN JUST A LITTLE, AND THE WHOLE WINDOW SHATTERED. I DONT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS, BECAUSE THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS OFF AND PARKED.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, SEAT BELTS
I PURCHASED MY 2017 NISSAN VERSA IN SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2017. WITHIN 2 WEEKS, I BEGAN HAVING BRAKE ISSUES. THE CAR WOULD SCREECH WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND MAKE ALMOST A GRINDING SOUND WHEN MAKING A HARD BRAKE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM (ABC NISSAN) AND THEY TWICE REFUSED TO FIX IT. THAN I DROVE ACROSS TOWN TO ANOTHER DEALER (MIDWAY NISSAN) WHO ADMITTED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN DEFECT AND SAID IT SIMPLY NEEDED MORE GREASE. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER BEING FIXED, THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. TWO WEEKS LATER, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN TO STOPPED TRAFFIC WHEN THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO STOP. I ATTEMPTED TO STEER IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SIDE LANE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO AVOID THE COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIRBAGS IMMEDIATELY DEPLOYED AND ALTHOUGH NO SERIOUS INJURIES OCCURRED, I FOUND THAT SOME PAPERS I HAD IN THE CAR HAD SOMEHOW BEEN TORN. ALTHOUGH I WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT, MY SEAT BELT WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. I AM GLAD I AM ALIVE AND I AM THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT INJURED (OTHER THAN VERY MINOR KNEE INJURY) BUT I FEEL THAT BOTH THE BRAKES AND THE AIR BAGS PRESENT SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERNS. PREVIOUS YEARS OF NISSANS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE BRAKE ISSUES. MY CAR ONLY HAD 24 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND FAILED AT 3,000 MILES.
