POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED. RPM KEPT SPIKING WHEN THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED AND THE ENGINE HAD A REVVING SOUND, BUT NO MOVEMENT WITH THE CAR. IT COULD GO IN REVERSE, BUT NOT FORWARD.

AIR BAGS, SUSPENSION
MY FRONT LEFT SUSPENSION COIL JUST BROKE WHILE DRIVING OVER A SEWER COVER ON A SIDE STREET. THE FRONT LEFT END OF MY CAR DROPPED A NOT AND A METAL PIECE OF COIL FLEW OUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR WHICH I RECOVERED. I SEE THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAD A RECALL, ALSO NEVER GOT THE AIRBAG RECALLED.

POWER TRAIN
AROUND 68000 MILES, I FIRST NOTICED PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION. IT WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, REVVING HIGH AND I OFTEN HAD TO MANIPULATE THE GAS PEDAL TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT UP. KEEP IN MIND, THIS VERSA IS EQUIPPED WITH A CVT, THUS THIS TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE VERY GRADUAL "GEAR" CHANGES. I THEN STARTED TO NOTICE THAT SOMETIMES, WHEN ACCELERATING, THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES JOLT AROUND BEFORE IT GOT UP TO SPEED. THIS JOLTING OCCURRED AT RED LIGHTS, FREEWAY ON-RAMPS, ETC. NISSAN'S WARRANTY EXPIRES 60,000 MILES, AND I NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE 60,000 MILES, HOWEVER TRANSMISSIONS SHOULDN'T DIE AFTER 68,000 MILES, LIKE MINE WAS GOING TO. I INITIALLY TOOK MY CAR IN AROUND 68,000 MILES TO HAVE THE TECHNICIANS LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE. THEN, I TOOK MY TRANSMISSION IN FOR ROUTINE TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE SERVICE AT AROUND 71,000 MILES, AND THE TECHNICIANS NOTICED SHAVINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CATCH PAN. THIS IS WHEN THEY FINALLY NOTICED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACING. THIS IS ABOUT A $5,000 REPAIR. LUCKILY, I HAD MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN INSURANCE FROM MY AUTO INSURANCE, THUS I WON'T NEED TO PAY THAT FULL COST, BUT IF I HADN'T HAD THAT, I WOULD HAVE A CAR THAT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON ROADWAYS.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION THE BRAKES WILL NOT WORK AND IT SLIDES. THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AND THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPS. I'VE HAD 2 MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAY ITS BECAUSE THE AXLE NUT BACKS OFF. TOOK IT TO GUNTER NISSAN ON 6/6/19 AND THEY REFUSED TO SERVICE IT SAYING I HAD TO CONTACT NISSAN CORPORATE BUT NISSAN CORPORATE SAYS I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE JERKS AS IF IT CANNOT FIND A GEAR, THE RPMS JUMP AROUND AND THE ACCELERATION IS SLOWED DRAMATICALLY. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER I ACCELERATE BUT GETS VERY BAD WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AN OR ATTEMPTING TO SPEED UP TO PASS OTHER VEHICLES.

WHILE PULLING ON TO THE I-26 ON RAMP THE VEHICLE LOST ALL PROPULSION POWER AND WOULDN'T MOVE. THEN AFTER I GOT OVER TO THE SHOULDER IT WOULD START BUT STILL CONTINUES TO DIE AFTER 1 OR 2 SECONDS RUNNING. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT HAD DONE THIS BEFORE ABOUT 6 MONTHS PRIOR. I AM CURRENTLY STUCK DUE TO THIS ISSUE

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOCKS WERE NOT WORKING ON THE HATCHBACK. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE LOCKS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK WITHOUT THE CONTACT DOING ANYTHING. ALSO, THE ODOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE WERE FLICKERING AND NOT PROVIDING A CORRECT READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAR-MART OF TEXARKANA (3015 SUMMERHILL RD, TEXARKANA, TX 75503, (903) 792-4298) WHERE IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE LOCK MOTOR BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR THE ODOMETER, BUT ADMITTED THAT THEY BASICALLY ROLLED IT BACK. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE MILEAGE READING CHANGED TO TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH OF 2019. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT RECEIVED AN UNKNOWN RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE AIR BAGS. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN UNKNOWN NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIR COMPLETED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DEALER DID NOT LET HER SEE THE PAPERWORK FOR THE SALE UNTIL AFTER SHE SIGNED FOR THE PURCHASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,329. *BF *TR

WHEN BACKING CAR MAKES A MOANING NOISE. I JUST LEARNED OF A RECALL FOR FRONT SPRINGS COIL SPRINGS. RECALL ID 239045. YOUR SITE SAYS THAT MY CAR ISNT UNDER IT BUT SHOULD BE. THE CAR TO MY KNOWLEDGE WAS FIRST SOLD IN FLORIDA. I BOUGHT IT FROM CARMAX IN VA. FLORIDA WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALL STATES BUT VA IS. WE USE ROAD SALT HERE. IT SEEMS TO DO IT IN HOT WEATHER.

SERVICE BRAKES
DURING WINTER SEASON, WHEN MORE THAN 2 INCHES OF SNOW FALLS, WHEN PRESSING ON THE BREAK, I HAVE TO PRESS AND RELEASE REPEATEDLY FOR THE CAR TO STOP AT A LIGHT. IF I TRY TO STOP WITHOUT DOING SO, THE CAR WILL CONTINUE PAST THE STOP LIGHT ROAD MARK. WHEN I PRESS ON THE BREAK, THE BREAK PEDAL FEELS LIKE IT TOUCH THE ROAD. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS MORE THAN THREE TIMES. EACH TIME I EXPERIENCE THIS, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SCARY ONE. ONE DAY, I WAS GOING INTO THE BACK OF A CAR AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN I COULDN'T BREAK. I HAD TO PRESS THE HORN AND HELD IT SO THE DRIVER WOULD REALIZE I HAD A PROBLEM. I HAD TO SWING AWAY AS NOT TO HID THE DRIVER AHEAD. I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE A MINUTE ON THE SAME BLOCK, SO I WAS NOT DRIVING MORE THAN ABOUT 10 TO 15 MILES PER HOUR. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY NISSAN VERSA 2007 CAR.

AIR BAGS
"TAKATA RECALL" NISSAN DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG, IT HAS REPLACED 2 AIRBAGS ONLY. BAGS REPLACED ARE SIDE AIRBAG ON DRIVERS SIDE, AND FRONT AIRBAG FOR PASSENGER. SPOKE TO MANAGER OF 2 DEALERSHIP BUT SAY THOSE NOT REPLACED WERE NOT SPECIFIED, THEREFORE WILL NOT REPLACE. ALSO COULD NOT TELL ME IF THEY WERE A DIFFERENT BRAND. SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM TO CHECK THE BRAND. WHY. WOULD NISSAN USE DIFFERENT BRANDS ON SAME CAR?

TAKATA RECALL - I CANNOT GET MY LOCAL DEALERS TO RETURN MY CALL TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. I CONTINUE TO GET WARNING NOTICES FROM NISSAN USA, BUT LOCAL DEALERS AVOID SCHEDULING RECALLS, ALWAYS SAYING THEY MUST "CONFER WITH THE PRODUCTION MANAGER TO ENSURE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE", THEY THEN PROMISE TO CALL BACK BUT NEVER DO. I HAVE LEFT PHONE NUMBERS AND EMAIL ADDRESSES AND NEVER HEARD FROM EITHER OF THEM. AT THIS POINT I BELIEVE THEY ARE STALLING ON THE FIXES HOPING THE OLDER CARS SIMPLY DIE AND GO TO THE GRAVEYARD FIRST.
