WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED A LOUD HUMMING NOISE STARTING AT 40 MPH AND LATER DETERMINED THAT THE WHEEL BEARINGS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED . UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AMONG THIS MODEL OF CAR STARTING AS EARLY AS 10K MILES. MY MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT IT IS UNUSUAL FOR THIS PART TO BE REPLACED SO EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE BUT IF THE PART IN QUESTION WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED A TOTAL FAILURE THE ENTIRE WHEEL FALLS OFF OF THE VEHICLE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
THE PIECES ON THE DOOR HANDLE OF 2007, SEEM TO POP OUT OVER TIME. DRIVE SIDE KEY ENTRY AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I KNOW OF THREE NISSAN VERSA'S HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AND ALL FROM THE CAVALIER CONVERTER... THE HEATER CORE HAS SOME ISSUES. THIS CAR HAD AN AIRBAG RECALL AND I DON'T BELIEVE MY AIRBAGS WERE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH SIDE'S AIRBAGS WERE DONE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WOULD TAKE THREE WEEKS TO A MONTH TO REPAIR. WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR MY CAR DOWNTIME BECAUSE I DO UBER. IT WAS DONE IN TWO DAYS. THE CLOCK SPRING WENT OUT IN MY CAR. I DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF PICTURES, BUT I CAN GO IN MY FILE AND FINE THEM. THANKS FOR ANY HELP ON THESE ISSUES. THE AIRBAGS WERE DONE AT THE END OF 2017 AND I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD DO WHAT I'M DOING TODAY. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAID TO GET MY AIRBAGS CHECKED OUT. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, I'VE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH MY CAR. I'VE SPENT OVER 2.000.00 OR MORE. I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT MY CAR FROM GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER.

POWER TRAIN
I HAD ISSUES WITH THE GEARS THAT INITIALLY THE ISSUE SHOWED UP AS A PROBLEM WITH AC/HEATER NOT WORKING PROPERLY, BUT WHEN THE MECHANIC EXAMINED THE ISSUE, IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH GEARS. SOON AFTER THAT, MY CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE WHILE DRIVING AND THEN BEGAN TO SMELL LIKE SOMETHING BURNT. THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED, I DID REGULAR MAINTENANCE AS INSTRUCTED IN THE MANUAL, BUT IT WAS AROUND 60,000 MILEAGE WHEN ISSUES BEGAN TO SHOW UP AND AROUND 90,000 WHEN IT BEGAN HESITATING AND SMELLING. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON CITY STREETS BECAUSE IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND SO I CANNOT DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. I CONTACTED NISSAN WHILE I HAD MILEAGE IN THE RANGE OF 80K-84K TO SEE IF THEY WILL EXAMINE MY CVT, GIVEN THE CURRENT LAWSUIT, FREE OF CHARGE. BUT THEY STATED THAT THE LAWSUIT HASN'T BEEN SETTLED YET AND THAT BY THE TIME IT IS, I WILL LIKELY BE OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

MY CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT JUST 5 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE FROM THE USED CAR DEALERSHIP, EBERSOLE OF LEBANON. THE VEHICLE HAS 94,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSMISSION AND TENDS TO SLIP IN AND OUT OF GEAR A LOT. THE VEHICLE HAS THESE PROBLEMS WHEN SITTING, DRIVING AND ACCELERATING AS WELL.

POWER TRAIN
STARTING AT 50,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. THE CAR WAS MAINTAINED BY A MECHANIC AND ALL BELTS WERE CHECKED. THERE WAS NO CARS FOUND AT THAT TIME. AFTER HITTING APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES I STARTED HAVING MORE ISSUES THAT INCLUDED LOUDER NOISES FROM THE ENGINE, UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION, AND AFTER LETTING THE FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD SLOW DOWN IMMENSELY. RECENTLY THE CAR WAS CHECKED AGAIN BY MY MECHANIC AND IT WAS FOUND IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS AT FAULT. A FEW TIMES WITH THE CAR IN PARK HAD SEVERE TREMORS TOO. NOW WITH 75,000 MILES THE CAR IS HAVING STRONG JERKS WHEN BEING PUT I TO REVERSE. ALSO, WHEN ACCELERATING I NEED TO LET OFF THE GAS AND ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TIME TO CHANGE GEAR.

OUTER DOOR HANDLE ON PASSENGER SIDE CAME OFF.DEALER FIXED IT AND I PAID FOR REPAIR. HANDLE CAME ODD 4 DAYS LATER.I RETURNED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD A PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT IS BROKEN AND THE ADDITIONAL CHARGE WOULD BE 350.00. I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF WHEN I FIRST WENT TO DEALER. I AM REQUESTING THE HANDLE BE REPLACED BY DEALER NO CHARGE SINCE IT WAS NOT PROPERLY REPAIRED WHEN I FIRST TOOK IT IN.THAT PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WHEN THEY INITIALLY SO FIXED IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT ACCURATE AND EVER SINCE RUNNING OUT OF GAS THE FIRST TIME IT'S BEEN ACTING STRANGER AND STRANGER. THE NOISE NO LONGER CHIMES WHEN RUNNING LOW IT ALSO DOESN'T HAVE EXTRA FUEL RESERVE SO ONCE YOU RUN OUT YOU RUN OUT. MY CARS FUEL PUMP JUST WENT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND THIS WAS AT NIGHT. THE CAR NO LONGER STARTS YET ALONE MOVE. I GOT STUCK ON THE FREEWAY TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES IT WAS FULL OF PEOPLE FLYING BY ME SO I COULD NOT EVEN GET OUT TO MOVE.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN (ABOUT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY) AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. NO SIGNS THAT IT WAS GOING TO DO THIS, NO SPUDDERING OR ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. JUST SHUT OF. I HAVE READ ON FORUMS THAT OTHER NISSAN VERSA OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. SOME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I LIVE 64 MILES FROM MY JOB. ITS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME IF MY CAR DOES THAT WHILE I'M DRIVING.

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
12/5/2018 I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION ON THE NISSAN VERSA 2015 AT 37,000 MILES. 2 MONTHS AT 42,000 MILES LATER CAR MAKING NOISE NOT KNOWING WHAT IT IS, AFTER MANY CAR CHECKS WITH AUTO MECHANICS. ON SEPTEMBER 2019 AT 93,000 MILES I RECEIVED A POST CARD ABOUT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED BY NISSAN OWNERS AGAINST 2013-2017 NISSAN VERSA AND SENTRA CARS ''CVT' TRANSMISSIONS NOT PROPERLY WORKING TO NOT WORKING AT ALL. I FINALLY HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND THE NISSAN ONLY MECHANIC SAID MY 2015 NISSAN VERSA IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR A THIRD TIME AT MOSSY NISSAN HOUSTON, TX. ITS EXTREMELY NOT FAIR. NISSAN MANUFACTURE FAIL TO PROVIDE 100% OF REPAIR COST AND REFUSE TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PAIN AND SUFFERING THEIR TERRIBLE CAR TRANSMISSION CAUSE ME. MANY PEOPLE AND TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS KNOWS NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT GOOD. YOU CAN REPLACE A NISSAN TRANSMISSION TODAY AND THE SAME YEAR OR NEXT YEAR YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. ITS EXTREMELY NOT FAIR WHAT NISSAN MANUFACTURER & DEALERSHIP DID. II REPLACED THE FIRST TRANSMISSION AT 37,000 MILES IN YEAR 2 OF OWNING MY CAR , AT 42,000 OR 50,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTS GOING BAD. AND YEAR 3 AT 93,000 I HAVE TO REPLACED AGAIN. THAT IS A MAJOR HIGHWAY SAFETY HAZARD. THE REASON I DID NOT HAVE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH THIS CAR I STRONGLY BELIEVE, IS BECAUSE I PRAYED EVERYDAY WHEN I START DRIVING FOR JEHOVAH GOD TO PROTECT ME, NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, AND NOT TO KILL ANYONE WITH THIS CAR. SO EVERY 30,000 MILES OR EVERY YEAR YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON A NISSAN VERSA DEPENDING HOW MUCH YOU DRIVE FOR THE YEAR.. I HAD TO DEAL WITH EXTREME STRESS BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL 3 TIMES. PLEASE MAKE MONEY GREEDY NISSAN PAY FOR THEIR DELIBERATE FRAUD ACT. I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH A VERY BAD TRANSMISSION.

PLEASE TELL THE GOVERNMENT OR WHOEVER IS THE BIGGEST BOSS OF CAR MANUFACTURER NISSAN TO PUNISH NISSAN SEVERELY AND EXTREMELY FOR MAKING UNSAFE CARS THAT PUTS CONSUMER A T A SEVERE SAFETY RISK. FOR THEIR TRANSMISSIONS, SHOCKS, STRUTS, EVERYTHING IN THE CAR. EVER SINCE I GOT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2016 I HAVE TO BRING IT TO THE SHOP EVERY 2-3 MONTHS, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, OCTOBER 2019 I HAD TO REPLACED THE FAN, BEFORE THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS, THE SHOCKS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THE STRUTS TOO, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON, MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR.. REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BEFORE AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE CAR JIGGLES, WADDLE, THE SHOCK, STRUTS, GETS STARTS TO WORN OUT AT 20,000 MILES, AT 50, 60, 70, 80,000 MILES THE CAR EXTREMELY UNSTABLE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT FEELS SO LIGHT, FEELS LIKE ITS WHEELS WILL BREAK OR PULL OFF TO ONE SIDE. CAR IS PHYSICALLY UNSTABLE AND BOUNCE WAY TOO MUCH. THE CAR MOTOR MOUNTS MAKES SO MUCH CLICKING NOISE, BRAKES TERRIBLE. MAJOR CAR SAFETY HAZARD. 90.000 MILES CURRENTLY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS MECHANIC SAID AND I CANNOT REPAIR IT. PLEASE MAKE NISSAN REFUNDED ME MY MONEY & TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAULTY CAR. THEIR IS A CURRENT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM FOR THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS WILL STOP WORKING ON THE NISSAN VERSA AND SENTRA CARS FROM 2013-2017 YEAR MODELS. AND EVEN IF YOU REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IT WILL FAIL AFTER 30,000 MILES. PLEASE MAKE NISSAN PAY FOR THEIR FRAUDULENT CAR PARTS THAT THEY MADE THAT IS GOING TO NOT WORK SOON. FOR A MONTH I ALSO DROVE A 2019 NISSAN SENTRA RENTAL BRAND NEW CAR AT 1000 MILES. AT 5,000 -7,000 MILES THE CAR TRANSMISSION MAKES SO MUCH NOISE. NISSAN SENTRA AND VERSSA CARS ARE NOT SAFE. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED EXTREMELY AND SEVERELY FOR PUTTING PEOPLE'S SAFETY AT RISK..
