POWER TRAIN
ON 10/11/2016 MY CARS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR WOULD SHIFT HARD TRYING TO GET INTO A HIGHER GEAR AND THEN WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL YOU COULD HEAR THE CAR ACCELERATE BUT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT AND ASIDE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON THAT IS WHY I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS WELL AS FOUND OUT THERE WAS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON THE CVT PROGRAM IN THAT YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. MIND YOU THIS IS THE FIRST I HEAR OF SUCH RECALL WHEN I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND THIS SUCH RECALL CAME OUT ON 08/12/2015. I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING VIA MAIL, EMAIL, OR PHONE. I HAVE NOT CHANGED MY ADDRESS NOR PHONE NUMBER IN YEARS SO I DON'T SEE WHY THEY DID NOT GET IN CONTACT WITH ME OR MY DAD. I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS WAS TAKEN CARE OF LAST YEAR WHEN THIS ALL CAME ABOUT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE IN THIS SITUATION WHERE THEY TREATING ME WITH SUCH DISRESPECT AND AS IF I DON'T KNOW MY RIGHTS AS A CUSTOMER. I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AT ONE DEALERSHIP AND THE OTHER DEALERSHIP WAS "ON MY SIDE" AND ALL I WANT IS MY CAR TO BE FIXED AND NOT BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE I AM A FEMALE.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS IS A TAKATA ISSUE, OR IF WE EVEN HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG SYSTEM IN OUR VEHICLE. HOWEVER, FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS OUR AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON. WE HAVE BEEN TURNING IT OFF BY DOING THE SYNCHRONIZED KEY TURN METHOD, WHERE IT WOULD WORK FOR A FEW DAYS OR WEEKS AND THEN THE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON. WE TOOK IT INTO A DEALER, AND THEY ARE REPLACING THE "AIRBAG MODULE" BECAUSE IT IS DEFECTIVE. WE TOOK IT TO ELHART AUTOMOTIVE IN HOLLAND, MI AND IT IS COMPLETELY COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. HOWEVER, WE WANTED TO SUBMIT THIS AS AN ISSUE BECAUSE THE VIN DOESN'T GET A HIT ON THE TAKATA RECALL, HOWEVER THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN AIRBAG ISSUE - WHETHER IT IS ISOLATED OR A PART OF THE TAKATA THING, IS ABOVE MY PAYGRADE TO KNOW OR UNDERSTAND. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IF THE 2014 NISSAN VERSA SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST, THAT IT IS APPROPRIATELY ADDRESSED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, SUNDAY , APRIL 3 AROUND 12:30 PM, TEMPERATURE AROUND 40 DEGREES, SUNNY CONDITIONS, NO RAIN. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF ACCELERATION FROM THE FOOT PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE CAR STILL HAD HALF A TANK OF GAS PROVIDED FROM THE SELLER, HERTZ, SO WE PUT LESS THAN 100 MILES SINCE THE PURCHASE. 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. THE THROTTLE RESPONSE RETURNED AFTER THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF THEN TURNED BACK ON. THE 2014 VERSA HAS FLY- BY- WIRE THROTTLE, SO DIRECT LINKAGE IS NOT BROKEN, THIS SUGGESTS EITHER A SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION OR AN INTERMITTENT APP SENSOR. UPON INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET, SEVERAL NISSAN AUTOMOBILES OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE VERSA WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IF YOU HAVE ANY SERVICE BULLETINS WITH THIS REFERENCE, COULD YOU PROVIDE THE SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER SO THAT I CAN TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALER. I FEEL THIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE IF IT WERE TO OCCUR IN TRAFFIC OR AT HIGH SPEEDS, THEREFORE I HAVE FILED A REPORT WITH NHTSA. I FEEL THIS POTENTIALLY AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY SUPPORT YOU CAN PROVIDE WITH SERVICE BULLETINS, OR ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE OTHER NISSAN RECALLS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE PEACE OF MIND THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT STALL IN TRAFFIC I MAY BE CONTACTED AT [XXX].

BRAKE FAILURE TODAY WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE, THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR DIDN'T RESPOND. THANK GOD I WAS COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL SITUATION. ALSO EXPERIENCING CVT JUDDERS AND VIBRATIONS CONSTANTLY. TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE ITS STRUGGLING AND WILL DIE SOON. I ONLY HAVE 39000 MILES ON THE CAR.

SEATS, STEERING
VIBRATIONS FELT THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN, SEATS AND FLOOR, WHENEVER CAR IS IN GEAR AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR IDLE. VIBRATION GETS WORSE WHEN AC OR DEFROST IS TURNED ON. IT GOES AWAY WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. HOWEVER CAR TAKES SOME TIME TO MOVE WHEN SHIFTING BACK TO DRIVE, AND THIS CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO HIT YOU FROM BEHIND. TAKEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS VIBRATION IS COMPLETELY NORMAL AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. VERY DISAPOINTED TO SAY THE LEAST.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE HEAT SHIELD COVERING THE EXHAUST UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND WAS REPLACED 2 TIMES. THE CRACKING OCCURS WHERE THE HEAT SHIELD IS HELD TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE BY SCREWS AND BOLTS. THE WASHERS AND BOLTS ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE PREDRILLED HOLES AND CAUSES STRESS FRACTURES AT THE HOLE. THIS CAUSES THE HEAT SHIELD TO COME LOOSE AND RATTLE AGAINST THE EXHAUST. THERE ARE OTHER MODELS WITH SIMILAR HEAT SHIELDS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE MATERIALS ARE THE SAME. THE RATTLE CAUSES DISTRACTED DRIVING AS WELL AS POSES A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD IF THE ENTIRE UNIT WERE TO FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT COULD CAUSE UNSAFE VEHICLE OPERATION OR HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS
I WANT TO KNOW WHO MANUFACTURED THE AIRBAGS IN MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN AND MY SPOUSE'S 2009 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THE AIRBAG BUT I AM AWARE FROM GOOD PRESS REPORTS INCLUDING NYTIMES THAT MANY VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME OR SIMILAR TAKAT-MANUFACTURED BAGS TO THOSE RECALLED AND AT LEAST ONE FATALITY HAS OCCURRED IN SUCH A VEHICLE. I HAVE SEARCHED AND THE ONLY INFORMATION ONLINE I HAVE FOUND IS THE LIST OF RECALLED MODELS. IF MINE IS NOT THERE, I STILL HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHO MANUFACTURED THE AIRBAG AND WOULD APPRECIATE THE NHTSA SUPPLYING SUCH INFORMATION. ALTERNATIVELY, HOW DO I GET THE CARMAKER TO INFORM ME OF THE AIRBAG MANUFACTURE? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. I AM VERY PLEASED THAT AN AGENCY SUCH AS YOURS EXISTS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA S WILL NOT EXCEED 23 MILES PER HOUR. IT HAPPENED FIRST ON 12/26/15 AND I HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED SEVERAL HOURS LATER SAYING THE CAR WAS FINE AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN 12/28/15 I WAS LEAVING A FROM A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT AND ONCE AGAIN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 23MPH. I DROVE THE VEHICLE ABOUT 3 MILES INTO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM DRIVE IT SO THEY COULD SEE WHAT I MEANT. THEY DID DRIVE IT AND SAID THEY WILL GIVE ME A LOANER CAR AND WOULD DIAGNOSE MORE TOMORROW. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR SURE,.
