ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILS IN HIGHER THAN 85 DEGREE TEMPERATURES AS WELL AS BELOW 25 DEGREES. SOMETIMES THE WARNING LIGHT FOR IT COMES ON WHEN IT FAILS AND OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT. THIS PROBLEM COMES AND GOES, NOT LIMITED TO JUST MOVING. I CAN SHIFT INTO GEAR AND HAVE IMMEDIATE DIFFICULTY OR BE DRIVING ALONG AT ANY SPEED THEN SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING IS GONE. I WAS ADVISED BY THE ADA, OK DEALERSHIP THAT THE 2015 NISSAN VERSA DOES NOT USE POWER STEERING FLUID AND THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE POWER STEERING COMPUTER.

POWER TRAIN
MY 2015 NISSAN VERSA TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT AND IT ONLY HAS 79K MILES I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN OCT OF 2015. I AM JUST CHECKING TO SEE IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED IN 2014 SINCE THOSE TRANSMISSIONS WERE RECALLED ON THE 2014 VERSAS WERE USED IN THE 2015 VERSAS. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED WITH THAT MILEAGE. I AM SURE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH CUSTOMERS, AS I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM NISSAN VERSA OWNERS. WE NEED A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES CONSUMERS SIMPLY CANNOT PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE THEM REPLACED THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND NISSAN SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY FOR THE TOTAL REPAIRS TO REPLACE THESE TRANSMISSIONS ON ALL THE 2015 VERSAS, MAYBE YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS. MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING TO BE INSPECTED AS THEY ARE TWO WEEKS BEHIND AND NOW I HAVE TO RENT A VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK. PLEASE TAKE THIS COMPLAINT INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.

POWER TRAIN
AT 90,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP. IT WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS SLIPPING WHEN YOU TAKE OFF FROM A DEAD STOP. AS TIME WENT BY, AT 114,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AT THE SAME TIME THE TRANSMISSION GOT WORSE. NOT ONLY IT WAS SLIPPING AT TAKE OFF, BUT JERKING AT 20 AND 40 MPH. WHE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER WHEN I CHECKED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO SAID IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SERVICED EVERY 36,000 MILES. SHE I WHEN IN FOR OIL CHANGES NOTHING WAS SAID PRIOR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE STUCK IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE AND MY CAR STALLED. NO WARNING WAS GIVEN AND MY POWER STEERING TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TURN MY CAR BACK ON AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER WAITING FOR A FEW MINUTES TO MAKE SURE IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN I PULLED BACK ONTO THE FREEWAY. WITHIN A FEW FEET WHEN TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE MY CAR STALLED AGAIN. I WAS REAR ENDED AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AGAIN. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 101 AT THE TIME. WHEN SPEAKING TO NISSAN I WAS TOLD TO USE PREMIUM GAS AND ONLY FILL UP HALF A TANK AND WAS SENT AWAY WITHOUT THEM LOOKING AT MY CAR.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
APPEARS TO HAPPEN ONLY WHEN TEMPERATURES REACH OVER 105' THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING. THE STEERING GOES OUT WITH NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR WHEN IT SUDDENLY STOPS RUNNING. THIS WAS ON A CITY STREET. THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR AND HAS STARTED AGAIN THIS YEAR AS WELL. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA OFFICE AND WAS TOLD TO PUT A HIGHER OCTANE GAS BUT THIS HAS NOT HELPED. I HAVE TAKEN INTO THE SHOP TWICE WHERE THEY RESET THE ECM THE SECOND TIME WAS TOLD IT WAS VAPOR LOCKING. I AM VERY CONCERNED DUE TO THE FACT I DRIVE WITH CHILDREN IN MY CAR.
