AIR BAGS
WE KEEP RECEIVING THESE NOTICES EVEN AFTER COMMUNICATING TO CEASE SENDING THEM. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED IN AN ACCIDENT IN OCTOBER 2017 AND THE INSURANCE PAID FOR PURCHASING IT THEN SOLD IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. WE DO NOT OWN THE VEHICLE. PLEASE STOP SENDING THE NOTICES. THE AIR BAGS WORKED FINE IN THE ACCIDENT.*DT*JB

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
P0846 FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR - REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION CONTROL VALVE BODY/ REPLACE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION. I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH SHOWED P0846 CODE IN MID 2018. HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARED AFTER A WHILE. THE LIGHT REAPPEARED NOW IN 2020 SHOWING THE SAME FAULTY CODE. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN NISSANS 2012 VERSA AND THAT I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY HAS ALSO EXPIRED AS THE VEHICLE IS ABOVE 84000 MILES. ( I GOT THIS LIGHT AT 79K MILES WITH THE SAME CODE AND IT HAD DISAPPEARED.) I HAD PHOTOGRAPHED IT WITH DATES AND TIME SHOWING . NISSAN TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP IN ANY WAY AND THAT I WILL NEED TO COVER THE COMPLETE COST. VEHICLE WORKS PRETTY OKAY I DON'T FEEL ANY ISSUES IN IT. *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.

MY 2012 VERSA, WON'T SHIFT GEARS, STALLS AND EVEN WITH THE GAS ALL THE WAY DOWN, IT WON'T ACCELERATE. TOOK IT TO NISSAN ROSSEN IN MILWAUKEE, WI. FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, RESULT: TRANSMISSION FAILURE, COST TO REPLACE IT $4,200.00. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT WHY MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED? NISSAN SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THAT ISSUE AND REPAIR THE AFFECTED CARS. NOTE : MY TRANSMISSION WENT OFF AT 53000 MILES. *TR

ENGINE
HYDROCARBONS ARE LEAKING INTO THE CAR CABIN. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO NISSAN SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD TWO REGIONAL TECH SPECIALISTS LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. I EVEN GAVE NISSAN THE NAME OF THE MECHANICS THAT FOUND THE LEAK AS WELL AS A COPY OF MY MEDICAL RECORD THAT SAID I HAD CARBON DIOXIDE POISONING. THE LAST INSPECTION I HAD WITH NISSAN THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME A COPY OF THE INVOICE/WORKORDER. NISSAN SAID IF I WANTED A COPY I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW. I HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 10 TIMES FOR THE SAME ENGINE LEAK THAT I MAKING ME SICK.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO LOSE ACCELERATION POWER. STARTED HESITATING TO ACCELERATE AND TOOK LONG TO SHIFT (THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) GOT ON THE INTERSTATE AND CAR STARTED JERKING AND WOULD NOT GO PAST 10-15 MPH. PULLED OVER, BROUGHT GEARS BACK DOWN TO THE PARK POSITION, BUT THAT ONLY MADE IT WORSE. CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND HAS BEEN STUCK NOW FOR A WEEK. STARTED RESEARCH ON VEHICLE AND LEARNED MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITHIN THIS CLASS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE AND WILL NOT FIX. WHY NOT?? THEY APPARENTLY BUILT A FAULTY VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE GETTING A LAWYER.

I WE T TO HAVE THE SAFETY RECALL FIXED BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT SOMEONE HAD ALTERED THE HARNESS FOR THE AIRBAG, IT WAS THE FIRST ID HEARD OF IT. THEY SAID ID HAVE TO BUY A BRAND NEW HARNESS FOR THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS , SO I DIDN'T GET THE RECALL FIXED. WENT TO THE PLACE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY SAID THEY WEREN'T LIABLE FOR IT EITHER. JUST WANT TO GET THOSE AIRBAGS OUT OF MY CAR.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SOMETIMES STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE OWNING THE CAR. YOU CAN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT WON'T DO ANYTHING AT ALL. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT IT AND THEY TOTALLY BLOW ME OFF DENIED THAT ANYTHING WAS GOING ON THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE MOTOR THEY SAID. YOU HAVE TO JUST LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT'LL FINALLY MOVE THE CAR WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO GO SOMEWHERE AND IT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE I COULD LEAVE YOU STRANDED SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADNOT SURE IF IT'S THIS IS RELATED TO THE WHATEVER'S CAUSING THAT PROBLEM BUT WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND YOU'RE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR VIBRATES REALLY BAD SOMETIMES YOU CAN STEP ON THE BRAKE LET OFF OF IT AND STEP BACK ON IT AND RPMS WILL GO UP BUT SOMETIMES THE RPMS WILL DROP DOWN TO BELOW 600 THAT'S WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS VIBRATING REAL BAD. I'VE TRIED TO GET THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES THEY ENDED UP TELL THEM IT WAS AN AFTERMARKET MOTOR MOUNT IT WAS NOT A NISSAN PART SO I CHANGED IT FOR A GENUINE NISSAN PART THEY CHARGE ME OVER $600 AND IT DID NOT FIX THE CAR IT'S STILL VIBRATED. WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT SOMEWHERE THE CAR RUNS PERFECT THE RPMS ARE FINE AND THERE'S NO VIBRATION WHATSOEVER BUT AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT INTO DRIVE IT STARTS VIBRATING. IT HAS ALSO ALMOST WENT DEAD SEVERAL TIMES TO OVER THE LAST YEAR I JUST STARTED KNOCKING , SPUTTERING REAL BAD AND IT ALMOST GOES DEAD AND SHUTS THE MOTOR OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT RED LIGHTS FOR PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOTS ON CITY STREETS. IT'S ALMOST GONE DEAD JUST SITTING AT THE RED LIGHT WHEN THE CAR STARTS SPUTTERING.
