I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH MY CAR SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. IT TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO ACTUALLY ACCELERATE AND I'VE HAD SERIOUS ISSUES SINCE 60K MILES AND I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND ASKED IF THEY COULD LOOK INTO IT. THE SECOND THAT MY WARRANTY EXPIRED IS WHEN THEY LET ME KNOW THAT I NEEDED TO GET MY TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED, BUT THEN IT TURNED OUT TO BE MY TRANSMISSION, AND THEN THEY KEPT GOING BACK AND FORTH AND DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT BEFORE BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES ON THE FREEWAY WHERE IT STALLS AND WON'T GO MORE THAN 20MPH. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER MULTIPLE TIMES TO STOP AND THEN BE ABLE TO GO AGAIN. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ON TOP OF THE MAINTENANCE AND I'M HOPING WITH THE RECALL THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO ASSIST WITH REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION AT NO COST. I DON'T SEE MYSELF EVER BUYING A NISSAN VEHICLE AGAIN.

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

STRUCTURE:BODY
THERE ARE SERIOUS DESIGN FLAWS ON THE 2018 NISSAN VERSA THAT ALLOW WATER (I.E RAIN) TO COLLECT BELOW THE WINDSHIELD AND WHEN THE COLLECTED WATER DOESN'T DRAIN IT FLOODS THE CAR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THERE IS A WATER GUTTER UNDER THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS THAT RUNS FROM EACH SIDE OF THE CAR. IT HAS TWO VERY SMALL DRAINS ON EACH SIDE. THE DRAINS GET PLUGGED BY DUST, DIRT, ETC. NORMAL STUFF THAT CAN GET ON THE CAR, AND THE WATER COLLECTS AND BUILDS UP IN THE GUTTER. THERE IS A HOLE FOR SOME CABLES IN THIS AREA, ABOVE THE GUTTER THAT THE BUILT UP WATER CAN FLOW THROUGH RIGHT ON THE PASSENGER FLOOR BEHIND THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. THE WATER DRAINS OUT ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING/IN MOTION. IF THERE IS A HEAVY RAIN, THE ENTIRE CAR FLOOR GET FLOODED. THE HEALTH DANGER IS THE WATER HAS NOWHERE TO GO INSIDE THE CAR AND GETS MUSTY AND MOLDY. THIS CAN BE FIXED FOR APPROX. $600, HOWEVER IT WILL LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE ALL IS DONE IS UNPLUG THE SMALL DRAIN HOLES. NISSAN ALLOWED A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW IN THE 2018 VERSA SEDAN THAT LEADS TO FLOODING AND WET FLOORBOARDS, A DRAIN THAT IS PRONE TO CLOGGING, AND A HOLE FOR WATER TO FLOW INSIDE THE CAR. I FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON GOOGLE. MY CAR DAMAGED HAPPEN APRIL 2020, AND OTHER CAR OWNERS HAS HAPPENED IN 2019. PLEASE HELP US. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING FROM OHIO TO VIRGINIA WHEN HER CAR STOPPED WORKING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO WHEN ACCELERATED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE A FATALITY. HAD THE CAR TOWED SEVERAL TIMES TO FINALLY END UP AT A NISSAN DEALER IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. THE SERVICE TECHNICAL SAID THAT HER TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND WAS A PAST RECALL. BECAUSE THE RECALL TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION HAS EXPIRED, NISSAN REFUSED TO FIX IT. THE CAR ONLY HAS 68,500 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION IS DEAD. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL CASE AND I WOULD LIKE FOR NISSAN TO EXTEND THIS RECALL AND FIX THE CAR AS THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED MY DAUGHTER TO LOSE HER LIFE. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT GOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR. SHE AND A CHEVY SILVERADO WERE TRAVELING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS WHEN THEIR TRAFFIC SIGNALS BOTH TURNED YELLOW. THINKING SHE WAS GOING TO STOP, HE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HER CAUSING HER TO T-BONE HIS TRUCK. THOUGH SHE HIT HEAD ON, NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THE IMPACT WAS ENOUGH THAT HER CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS AND SHE SUFFERED A CONCUSSION. SHE WAS NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT UNFORTUNATELY. *TR

THE AC OK MY CAR KEEPS GOING OUT. THIS YEAR IT WAS SO BAD THAT IF I HAD ACCIDENTALLY TURNED IT ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THAT THE CAR WOULD COMPLETELY STOP AND I COULD BE DANGEROUSLY HURT WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK UP ALSO. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY WOULDN'T EVEN LET ME TALK TO ANYONE THAT COULD POSSIBLY HELP. THE VEHICLE INITIALLY TURNED OFF WHEN I WAS MAKING A UTURN AFTER LEAVING WORK SO I PARKED IT SO I WOULDN'T BE STRANDED OR BLACK TRAFFIC. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER ONLY EIGHT YEARS WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE. I REVERSED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND INTO THE BUSY HIGHWAY AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC NOTICED I WAS HAVING ISSUES OR I WOULD CERTAINLY BE DEAD. MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS NOT WORTH IT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY FAIL AGAIN AND AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO GET RID OF THE VEHICLE AND PURCHASE A NEW ONE, IT SEEMS NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSIONS HAVE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES THAT ARE WIDELY KNOWN. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT NISSAN IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE SELLING LEMONS. MY VERY FIRST CAR WAS A 1981 MONTE CARLO AND THE TRANSMISSION ON THAT CAR NEVER HAD TO BE REPLACED, I USED THAT CAR UNTIL 2016 AND THE ONLY REASON I GOT RID OF IT WAS THAT THE FRAME BUCKLED IF THAT CAR CAN GO 35 YEARS WITH NO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, THEN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE FOR A 2012 TRANSMISSION TO FAIL IN 8 YEARS.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS HAD ONGOING ISSUES SINCE MANUFACTURED. NISSAN HAS KNOWN OF THE ISSUE BUT HAS MADE PATCH WORK OF THE ISSUE INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. SINCE THE RECALL DEADLINE WAS MAY 9,2020 THEY ARE RECOMMENDING THE TRANSMISSION TO BE REPLACED BUT UNWILLING TO REPAIR IT UNDER THE RECALL AT MY COST. IN GOOD FAITH OF THE COMPANY, THEY KNEW OF THE ISSUE AND SHOULD COVER THE MAJORITY OF THE COST AND I WAS WILLINGLY TO PAY A PORTION HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP. I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE THE CAR TO THEIR SHOP BEFORE THE DEADLINE DUE TO THE GOVERNMENT LOCKDOWN. THE CODE THAT THE ALWAYS COMES UP ON WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON IS P0486. THE HAVE REPLACE THE VALVE BODY AND REPROGRAMMED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE REPROGRAM IT AND DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION UNTIL AFTER THEIR RECALL WAS EXPIRED. I HAVE BARELY PUT 4300 MILES ON IT SINCE THE PATCH JOB THEY DID. THEY SAID THAT THIS PATCH WOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE AND THE SAME ISSUE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON BUT WENT OFF PRIOR TO MY FIRST VISIT IN JUNE BUT ON THREE DAYS LATER. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN?T GET ME IN UNTIL JUNE 10. *TR

MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. THE RADIO AND AIR WERE STILL ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IN ORDER FOR ME TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, I HAD TO PUT IT INTO PARK, TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO OFF AND TURN THE IGNITION BACK TO ON. BASICALLY TURN IT ALL THE WAY OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. *TR

SUSPENSION
THE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE OR UNWOUND AND STABBED THE TIRE. WE WERE JUST LEAVING, STILL IN THE DRIVEWAY AND HAD ONLY TRAVELED A FEW INCHES WHEN WE HEARD A NOISE AND STOPPED. WE WATCHED THE TIRE DEFLATE AND HEARD IT HISSING. THE NEXT DAY (TODAY) WE REMOVED THE TIRE AND FOUND THAT IT HAD BEEN STABBED. MY GRAND-NEPHEW FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT 1-800-867-7669. AND LEFT A MESSAGE, THEN CALLED NISSAN ANCHORAGE DEALERSHIP. THEY OFFERED TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT BEFORE THEY COULD HELP. THAT WOULD REQUIRE A 45 MILE TOW. THEY GAVE ME A DIFFERENT NUMBER AT NISSAN: 800-647-7261. I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH [XXX], SHE GAVE ME A CASE #[XXX], BUT SAID MY VIN WASN'T IN THE CAMPAIGN. APPARENTLY IT DOESN'T APPLY IF THE CAR IS OVER 9 YEARS OLD, AND MAYBE THE MILEAGE IS TOO HIGH, IT'S 104,789. WE ARE ALIVE AND UNHURT BECAUSE OF THE TIMING, BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE. THEIR WEBSITE DOES NOT LIST ALASKA AS QUALIFYING FOR THE CAMPAIGN. I WILL BE HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP FOR REPAIRS. NISSAN SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE EXPENSES. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE REPAIRS MIGHT COST MORE THAN REPLACEMENT.
