ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS, TIRES
THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM BEGAN TO FLASH AND THEN WENT TO A STEADY SIGNAL. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE IT WAS FINE. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ALMOST DAILY AND IS STILL HAPPENING. ON ONE OCCASION I IGNORED IT AND LATER THAT DAY I HAD A BLOW OUT DUE TO LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I CANNOT GET THE DEALER TO FIX THIS. I CHANGED WHEELS AND ADDED NEW TIRES AND THE CONDITION CONTINUES. ON SOME DAYS WHILE DRIVING IT WILL START TO MALFUNCTION AND THEN TURN OFF. ON OTHER DAYS IT IS FINE. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED IN FRONT OF ME FROM A SIDE STREET. I IMMEDIATELY SWERVED TO THE RIGHT AND ATTEMPTED TO WARN THE OTHER MOTORIST WITH MY HORN, BUT IT DID NOT WORK. I AVOIDED THIS CRASH, BUT STRONGLY BELIEVE A WORKING HORN WOULD HAVE HELPED A LOT IN THIS SITUATION. THE HORN ON THE VEHICLE USUALLY WORKS IF YOU HIT IT IN THE VERY CENTER OF THE BUTTON, BUT ONLY WORKS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME WHEN IT IS PRESSED ON EITHER SIDE WHERE THE HORN SYMBOLS ARE. WHEN WE TESTED ANOTHER 2009 VERSA AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE HORN WORKED EVEN WORSE THAN MY CAR. NISSAN/NORTH AMERICA AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ASSERT THE HORN IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. I BELIEVE THEY DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO MAKE REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND HONOR THEIR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. I HOPE THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT WILL BE REPAIRED BY NISSAN AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

STEERING
I DISMISSED THE PULL I FELT WHILE DRIVING MY NEW NISSAN VERSA SINCE FEB. 2012 AS BEING NEW TO DRIVING ON MOUNTAINOUS ROADS.... BUT AFTER HAVING A MAJOR SCARE THIS WEEKEND WHERE MY STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS NOT ALL CONNECTED. WHEN DRIVING I CAN NOT LET MY HANDS OFF THE WHEEL AT ALL WITH OUT IT SIGNIFICANTLY MOVING TOWARDS THE NEXT LANE/CURB. THEN THIS WEEKEND WHEN SITTING IN TRAFFIC (YES IT WAS VERY HOT OUTSIDE) WITH AC ON I TRAVELED A FEW FEET BEYOND THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN WHEN MY STEERING BECAME SO HARD THAT IT TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH TO KEEP THE CAR FROM COLLIDING WITH SIGNS/OFF ROAD. IT WAS LIKE I LOST POWER STEERING... I GOT IT TO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT NEAR BY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 1 MIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND OIL LIGHT. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND STEERING HAD RETURNED. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOOK ME IN RIGHT AWAY AND "LOOKED AT IT" AND SAID THERE WERE "NO TROUBLE CODES STORED" AND "ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR MAY HAVE GOT HOT ENOUGH FOR THE CONTROL MODULE TO SHUT IT OFF TO PREVENT DAMAGE". DOES THIS MEAN I CAN'T STEER MY CAR IF IT GETS HOT OUTSIDE??????? I AM A MOTHER AND DON'T FEEL SAFE TRAVELING IN THIS CAR!!!!! I DO NOT FEEL THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONCERNED WITH WHAT HAD HAPPENED. *TR

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS GIVEN THIS CAR AS A RENTAL. I AM AN EXTREMELY SAFE DRIVER WITH A PERFECT DRIVING RECORD. WITHIN 7-8 MINUTES OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THERE WAS A CRASH! I DROVE IN ON THE SAME BUSY STREET THAT THE RENTAL CAR WAS LOCATED AND FROM THE STOP LIGHT THE CAR SWITCHED INTO GEAR AUTOMATICALLY AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. THIS CAUSE CAUSED ME TO HIT A CAR FROM BEHIND AND SINCE THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING I HYDROPLANED INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. ONLY ONE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED, THE ONE IN THE HORN..NOT ALL SIX. I SUFFERED A SEVERE CONCUSSION AND HAD TO BE HOSPITALIZED OVERNIGHT. LUCKILY, THE PEOPLE IN THE OTHER VEHICLES WERE FINE. I AM NOW UNDER THE CARE OF A NEUROLOGIST WHO IS DOING TESTS TO HELP DETERMINE WHY I GET FREQUENT MIGRAINES AND MY SHORT TERM MEMORY IS VERY LIMITED AS WELL AS MY BALANCE. THE NISSAN VERSA 2012 IS NOT A SAFE CAR! *TR

SUSPENSION
THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SPRING BROKE ON MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA. LUCKILY, I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY (ABOUT 30MPH) ON A QUIET ROAD (NO BIG POT HOLES OR BUMPS). I HEARD A HUGE POP AND THEN HAD TROUBLE STEERING. AFTER PULLING IT INTO A GAS STATION, I QUICKLY NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WAS NEARLY RESTING ON MY FRONT TIRE. LUCKILY, THE TIRE WASN'T COMPROMISED BY THE SPRING/BODY. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. FROM MY KNOWLEDGE OF CARS, SPRINGS TEND TO LAST FOR THE LIFETIME (OR BEYOND) OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND UNEXPECTED. *TR
