I AM AT 27000 MILES, AND I'VE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT JERKING OF THE CAR BETWEEN 1000-2000 RPM. IT'S ALMOST AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION SKIPS A BEAT, IN SOME CASES SLIGHTLY PROPELLING THE VEHICLE FORWARD. IF YOUR FOOT IS STARTING TO GO DOWN ON THE BRAKE, THERE IS A MOMENT THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWS DOWN (YOU TAKE THE FOOT OFF THE BRAKE SLIGHTLY), THEN PROPELS FORWARD. THIS JERKING ACTION CAN CAUSE A SEVERE ISSUE WITH STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT OR ABOUT TO MAKE A TURN. AT THE SAME TIME, YOU HEAR THE REV COUNTER ABRUPTLY JUMPING CHANGING AS WELL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS SITTING STATIONARY AT A STOP LIGHT IN TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET AND MY BRAKE LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT, AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND I IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER STEERING. I HAD TO GUIDE MY VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN SOUTH MORROW FOR SERVICE. I HAD ALSO HAD SOME MINOR IGNITION ISSUES RELATING TO TURNING MY KEY AND NOT SEEING MY CLOCK RADIO BECOME VISIBLE BUT WAS REMEDIED BY USING MY SPARE CAR KEY. NISSAN SOUTH MORROW SAID THAT THE CAR DROVE WELL WITH NO ISSUES. UNSURE WHETHER IT WAS ACTUALLY LOOKED AT.

ENGINE
FOR MANY YEARS*, THE EXHAUST FROM MY NISSAN VERSA HAS MADE ME SICK (NAUSEOUS AND HEADACHES) SIMILAR TO HOW VW EXHAUST WOULD MAKE ME SICK. I AM CONCERNED THAT NISSAN VEHICLES MAY BE CHEATING ON INSPECTIONS CHECKS LIKE VW WAS DOING. EXHAUST FROM MANY OTHER VEHICLES MAY SMELL, BUT THIS PARTICULAR EXHAUST IS SICKENING. OUR VEHICLE PASSES EMISSION STANDARDS FOR MD EACH YEAR AND WE ALWAYS KEEP IT WELL MAINTAINED. SO AGAIN, I AM CONCERNED THEY HAVE SOFTWARE THAT WORKS TO FOOL EMISSIONS TESTING BY CHANGING THE EXHAUST ALLOWED WHEN HOOKED UP TO AN EMISSIONS TESTING COMPUTER. FOR A POINT OF REFERENCE, MY PARENTS OWN A 23 YEAR OLD FORD EXPLORER (ALSO WELL MAINTAINED) WHOSE EXHAUST DOES NOT CAUSE ME SICKNESS. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING THIS ISSUE! *THE FORM IS REQUIRING A SINGLE DATE, BUT THIS HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY MAKING ME SICK EACH TIME WE RUN THE VEHICLE (IT DOES NOT ABATE WITH MILEAGE OR WEATHER CONDITIONS) SINCE 2011-2012.

TRYING TO LEAVE FOR WORK, TURN ON MY CAR AND THEN THERE WAS A SQUEAL (LIKE A BELT) AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, NOT THE CAR (BATTERY IS WORKING). I DO THIS ABOUT THREE TIMES TO SEE IF MAYBE THE GAS NEEDED TO BE PRESSED OR IF THE CAR NEEDED TO BE IN GEAR, SAME THING HAPPENED. I CALL MY FATHER FOR ADVISE, AND I WANTED HIM TO HEAR THE NOISE BEFORE THE SHUT OFF, SO I TURN OFF THE RADIO, AC, EVERYTHING. THEN THE CAR STARTS AND STAYS ON. TURNS OUT THAT IF I HAD THE FAN GOING IT WAS SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. I TAKE IT TO SISK NISSAN AND THEY INSPECT, SAY FIRST THAT ITS THE CONDENSER AND AFTER THE PART IS ORDERED AND THE CAR TAKEN APART THEY SAY THAT THE WHOLE AC SYSTEM IS CONTAMINATED. THE COMPRESSOR HAD STOPPED WORKING. ONE WEEK WITHOUT AC AND ONE WEEK IN THE SHOP TO REPLACE THE WHOLE AC SYSTEM.

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2018 AT OVER 72K AND IT IS NOW 94K, THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD NOW. EVERYTIME I HIT THE GAS, THE RPM JUMPS UP TO 4000-5000. EATS UP ALL THE GAS QUICKLY. SOMETIMES IT WOULD SHAKE WHEN I LET GO OF THE GAS PEDAL. IT STARTED JULY 2019 AND PER MECHANIC, I WILL NEED TO GET RID OF THE CAR.

PREVIOUSLY, THE TRANSMISSION OF MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED WHEN THE MOTHERBOARD OF A TAIL LAMP MALFUNCTIONED. I WAS INFORMED BY THE NISSAN SERVICE AGENT THAT THIS CAUSED A SIGNAL TO BE SENT TO THE TRANSMISSION THAT INDICATED THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE GOING IN REVERSE. THIS CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO FALTER AND THE CAR STUTTERS AND/OR STALLS WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE LOOKED UP A FEW ACCIDENTS, WHICH APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A FAILURE TO ACCELERATE, BUT NO ONE HAS LOOKED INTO THE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY, BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD THINK IT WOULD HAVE AN IMPACT. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING EXPERT WHO STATED THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS TO IMPACT THE TRANSMISSION, SINCE THE BULK OF THE WIRING IS HOOKED UP TO IT INSTEAD OF THE BATTERY. NOW MY CAR IS ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCING THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. HOWEVER, WHILE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE, THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR REPAIR TICKETS FOR THE TAIL LAMPS WHICH CAUSE THE PROBLEM. IN NEWER TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLIES, THE ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED. HOWEVER, THE ORIGINAL MOTHERBOARDS WITH THE 2014 NISSAN VERSA BODY STYLE CAN START TO MALFUNCTION AT ANY TIME.

I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE RECALLED SPRINGS, THEY WERE FIXED. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG, IT WAS FIXED. THEN THE LIGHT CAME ON ON THE AIRBAG AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR AND IT WOULD COST THOUSANDS TO FIX IT. HE SAID THE CAR WAS WORTH LESS THAN THE FIX WOULD COST.
