POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SYMPTOMS ' CAR DRIVEN TODAY ABOUT 100 MILES. ENGINE SHUTOFF FOR GAS UP. ON RESTART THE ENGINE CAME ON,BUT NO POWER WHEN IN GEAR. PRESS OF ACCELERATOR BUT CAR BARELY MOVED. SHUTDOWN AND TURN BACK ON AND GOT A LITTLE POWER. LOOKED AT THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND THOSE DO NOT COME ON WHEN BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. LIGHTS CHECKED AND ARE GOOD BULBS. THE ENGINE IDLED SMOOTHLY, THE TRANSMISSION WAS PROPERLY FUNCTIONING AND ENGAGED. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE TO ANY MOVEMENT FROM ON THE FOOT PEDAL TO THE ENGINE IN ANY GEAR, INCLUDING NEUTRAL AND PARK. AGAIN, THE ENGINE IDLED SMOOTHLY, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED PROPERLY WHEN SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE, ETC. HAD THIS SAME ISSUE ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER, NISSAN MECHANIC NOTED THE NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND GOT THOSE TO COME BACK ON. ONCE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORKED, THE ISSUE SUDDENLY WAS GONE. VERSA WAS BROUGHT IN FOR NO POWER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL KEPT DISENGAGING. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CRUISE CONTORL MODULE, THE BRAKE MODULE AND THE POWER TRAIN. ACTS AS IF THE COMPUTER CONTROL IS GETTING SIGNALS THAT BASICALLY DISCONNECTS THE ACCELERATION SIGNALS, OR IS CAUSING THE CVT TRANSMISSION TO DISCONNECT, EVEN THOUGH WE CAN SHIFT THROUGH TH GEARS WITH NO PROBLEM. JUST WON'T GET ANY ACCELERATION AT ALL.

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.

SERVICE BRAKES
AT 29,374 MILES, I NEEDED TO HAVE MY REAR BRAKES REPLACED. MY AUTO SHOP AND I BOTH AGREE THAT THIS IS VERY EARLY ESPECIALLY FOR THE REAR BRAKES. I NEVER RIDE THE BRAKES OR PUT MY EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. WITH A 8 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 29,374 MILES ON IT, YOU CAN SEE THAT I RARELY EVEN DRIVE THIS CAR.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL I WENT TO GREY DANIELS NISSAN IN BRANDON, MISSISSIPPI LAST YEAR (I WANT TO SAY AUGUST) AFTER READING AN ARTICLE ON A FINANCIAL COLUMN I FOLLOW IN REGARDS TO THE TAKATA AIR BAGS. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED IN ANYWAY PRIOR TO THAT. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE USED FROM SOMEONE WHICH IS WHAT I BLAMED FOR NOT BEING NOTIFIED. (HOWEVER I KNOW THAT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT A LARGE COMPANY SUCH AS NISSAN KEEPS RECORDS OF VINS AND COULD TRACK THEIR VEHICLE'S OWNERSHIP THROUGH THAT) THEY REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND BROKE PART OF MY DASH IN THE PROCESS. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WAS UNAVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT AND WOULD NOT BE UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR. EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THAT THEY MAKE REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS FOR VEHICLES, I MADE AN EXCUSE AND TOLD MYSELF, "MAYBE IT'S A CERTAIN COMPANY THEY'RE GOING WITH." I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE DRIVER'S SIDE REPLACED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR. THEIR WEBSITE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SCHEDULE ANYTHING MORE THAN TWO DAYS IN ADVANCE UNTIL LAST WEEK, WHEN IT ALLOWED FOUR DAYS IN ADVANCE. I MADE MY APPOINTMENT AND CLEARLY STATED WHY I WAS COMING IN. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WOULD WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER IT. I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE OTHER MANUFACTURERS WHO HAVE GOTTEN A RENTAL CAR WHILE THEY WERE FIXING THE AIR BAG. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY SO THE INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD PAY FOR THE RENTAL, NOT NISSAN.

SUSPENSION
VEHICLE WAS FREQUENTLY MAKING AN ODD NOISE - LIKE TENSION BEING RELEASED WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS - TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS WERE CORRODED. NISSAN HAS RECALLED THIS PART FOR OTHER VERSAS FROM OTHER STATES "DUE TO SALTING OF THE ROADS" OUR STATE DOES NOT SALT SO WE WERE NOT INCLUDED. IT ALSO ONLY APPLIED TO THE VERSA SEDAN - NOT HATCHBACK. CLEARLY THIS IS A BIGGER PROBLEM THEN NISSAN WANTS TO EXPLORE OR ADMIT TO. UPON CALLING THEM THEY WILL OFFER NO REMEDY AS WE DID NOT TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FIRST. BUT A COMPLIANT HAS BEEN FILED WITH NISSAN. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY CONCERN AS THE SPRING CAN SNAP AND PUNCTURE THE TIRE - IT IS A PROBLEM WITH CARS THAT AREN'T ON SALTED ROADS! NISSAN NEEDS TO EXPAND THIS RECALL.

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.
