STEERING
VEHICLE LOST CONTROL EXITING A RIGHT HAND CURVE OF A COUNTY ROAD. THE VEHICLES SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH IS ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY 55-65 MPH. A POST-CRASH MECHANICAL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETED. THE INSPECTION REVEALED THE SPLINES ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE STEERING SHAFT HAD BEEN DAMAGED. THIS DAMAGE WAS CONSISTENT IN APPEARANCE WITH THE WHEEL BEING PLACED ON THE SHAFT AND PRESSED VIA THE STEERING WHEEL NUT WHEN THE SPLINES WERE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE STEERING WHEEL NUT WAS ABLE TO BE SPUN WITH ONE FINGER DURING THE INSPECTION. BOTH FINDINGS WERE NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE EXPECTED CRASH DAMAGE GIVEN THE CRASH SEQUENCE. AN AIRBAG RECALL HAD BEEN FULFILLED ON THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2019 IN WHICH THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REMOVED. THE RECALL WAS FULFILLED BY A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN GREELEY, CO.*DT*DT *JS *JS*DT*JB*DT*DT*AS*DT*TR*DT THE CONSUMER PROVIDED PHOTOS. *TR*DT*JB*TR

FEB. 10TH 2020 CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED SHUDDERING AND THEN BROKE DOWN IN VALDOSTA GEORIGA. VALDOSTA NISSAN SAID TRANSMISSION WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL FROM CLASS ACTION SUIT. HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT VALDOSTA TRANSMISSION WITH REMANUFACTURED NISSAN TRANSMISSION ON FEB. 13TH 2020. DROVE 992 MILES TO JACKSON MICH. STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH NEWLY INSTALLED TRANSMISSION SO BRIGHT THE 201( NISSAN VERSA TO JACKSON NISSAN. WAS INFORMED BY SERVICE MANAGER JAMIE BALDWIN THAT TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO TRANSMISSION COOLING TUBE IN RADIATOR FAILED. OF COURSE THE RADIATOR FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED ANYMORE FROM THE EARLIER CLASS ACTION RADIATOR SUIT. I ALSO FILED A CLAIM WITH CONSUMER AFFAIR NISSAN, CASE #39608867. THE REPRESENTATIVE (AUSTIN) I SPOKE WITH DENIED THE CLAIM. I'VE TRIED TO REACH AUSTIN (615) 725-7582 A FEW TIMES TO GET ANY DOCUMENTATION THAT WAS USED FOR HIS DECISION TO DENY THIS CLAIM, BUT HE HAS NOT RETURNED ANY OF MY CALLS. I BELIEVE THAT NISSAN HAS AN OBLIGATION TO THE CONSUMER WHEN THEY HAVE SOLD DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND RADIATORS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN THERE WAS A SCREECHING NOISE AT ANY POINT OF ACCELERATION THINKING IT WAS THE BRAKES. I GOT THE BRAKES CHANGED BUT THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT HAS CAUSED NOT ONLY ME BUT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE PROBLEMS AS WELL. ONE OF THE BELTS IN THE TRANSMISSION IS SCREECHING AND CAUSING OTHER THINGS IN MY CAR TO NOT FUNCTION AS WELL. THIS IS NOT OKAY TO KNOW AND SELL A CAR WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT IS KNOWN TO FAIL SOON. I GOT THE CAR IS NOW AT 106,000 MILES. IT MAKES ME SCARED TO KNOW I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THAT THE CAR CAN GO AT ANY TIME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN 2014. I HAD THE BODY THROTTLE REPLACED, THE FAN ON THE AC. NOW THE ELECTRICAL MOTORS FOR THE DOORS TO LOCK AND UNLOCK IS GOING OUT. I TRULY FEEL WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR IT WAS A LEMON. BECAUSE I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS WHEN THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND SHORTY THEREAFTER, THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE FAN ON THE AC. NOW ON 23 FEB 2020. I AM ON MY WAY TO CHURCH WHEN I NOTICE THIS LOUD NOISE AND NOW I'VE BEEN TOLD THE MOTOR IS GOING OUT THAT CONTROLS LOCKING MY CARS DOORS. WHEN THE THROTTLE GAVE OUT I WAS DRIVING WHEN I NOTICE THIS LOUD NOISE. WHEN THE FAN GAVE OUT ON THE AC, I NOTICE THAT THE AC NO LONGER WORK AND I ATTEMPTED ADD FREON AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FAN ON THE AC. MY MAJOR COMPLAINT TODAY IS THE MOTOR ON FOR THE LOCK/UNLOCK. IT'S A SHAME THAT CARS ARE ONLY MADE TO LAST A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME OR AT THE LOWEST COST POSSIBLE AND THE SELL THEM FOR OUTRAGEOUS PRICE OVER THE FAIR MARKET PRICE. SOMETIME ITS JUST BETTER TO PURCHASE A USED CAR OPPOSED TO NEW VEHICLE THAT YOU THINK WILL LAST AND BUT ITS NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL.
