SERVICE BRAKES
REPORTING AN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 NISSAN VERSA INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE. WHEN DRIVING ON DRY ROADS AND BRAKING HARD, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR, THEN RECOVER ITSELF AND HAVE ADEQUATE PRESSURE WITHIN ABOUT A MINUTE. CAR HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED SINCE PURCHASE, INCLUDING ANNUAL BRAKE SERVICE. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE CAR'S LIFETIME - THE FIRST TIME, THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT ISSUE. FULL BRAKE SYSTEM WAS CHECKED OUT WITH NO ISSUES FOUND IN MASTER CYLINDER OR OTHER HYDRAULICS AND UNABLE TO REPEAT ISSUE. AFTER 1.5 YEARS, THE SECOND TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED, THE DRIVER WAS IN STOP & GO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON DRY ROADS AND WHEN HITTING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE FAILURE CAUSED A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. FULL BRAKE SYSTEM CHECK BY MULTIPLE SHOPS SHOWED NO ISSUE WITH BRAKE HYDRAULICS, AND AGAIN WAS UNABLE TO REPEAT THE ISSUE. BRAKE FLUID HAD BEEN RECENTLY EXCHANGED. OWNER HAS REQUESTED EVENT DATA RECORDER INFO PULL FROM NISSAN USA TO DETERMINE THAT BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN - NISSAN USA STATING $600 FEE PLUS 1 MONTH LEAD TIME UNTIL SUCH DATA CAN BE PULLED FROM THE VEHICLE. NISSAN TECH HAS CONFIRMED THAT SUCH AN ISSUE HAS BEEN SEEN IN SOME VEHICLES, BUT CANNOT CONFIRM CAUSE, ONLY THAT REPLACEMENT OF A WORKING MASTER CYLINDER HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM, WHICH GOES AGAINST REASON OF REPLACING SOMETHING THAT IS FUNCTIONING UNDER STANDARD TEST CONDITIONS.

POWER TRAIN
I TOOK THE CAR FOR A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION AND TWO MONTHS LATTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WHEN DRIVING 60 MPH WILL JUST DECREASES IN SPEED UNTIL IT STOPS THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND WAS TOLD THE SPEED SENSOR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAS 78, 987 MILES ON IT, I WAS LOOKING ON LINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT TRANSMISSION USED BY NISSAN. MOST COMPLAINTS SAID AFTER THE DEALER REPAIRED THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION IT FAILED. WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF FILING A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION?

POWER TRAIN
I HAD THE 60,000 SERVICE DONE ON THIS CAR AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON DEC 14, 2015. PART OF THAT SERVICE INVOLVED INSPECTING THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION FLUID. APPARENTLY IT WAS OK. SIX DAYS LATER MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT TO NEW ORLEANS AND IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. LUCKILY, NOBODY WAS CLOSE BEHIND HER AND SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIFT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A NEW ORLEANS AREA DEALER AND ARE BEING TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3900. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NISSAN WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR. THIS IS A 4 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 65,000 MILES ON IT. A QUICK SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS SEVERAL PEOPLE ALSO HAVING TRANSMISSION FAILURES AT ABOUT THAT SAME MILEAGE. SEVERAL HAVE HAD THE CAR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY JUST LIKE MINE DID.

SUSPENSION
THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT SUSPENSION COIL SPRING FRACTURE IN MY MODEL YEAR 2009 NISSAN VERSA RUSTED/CORRODED AND BROKE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH. THE NOISE WAS APPARENT AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN PULLING SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT. I PULLED OVER TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT FIND ANY SPECIFIC REASON FOR THE NOISE AND CONTINUED HOME. I TOOK THE CAR INTO MCCARTHY NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT COIL SPRING HAD RUSTED/CORRODED AND CRACKED AND THAT DRIVING THE CAR IN THAT CONDITION WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND REQUIRED IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT COILS.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 3 YEARS, MY 110,000 MILE VERSA STALLS AND DOES NOT START, RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES IN DRIVEWAY, SOMETIMES STALL MID-DRIVE. SOMETIMES AFTER DRIVING HIGHWAY OR RESIDENTIAL FINE AFTER TURNING OFF, AND RETURNING IT WON'T START. SOMETIMES AFTER THIS IT WILL RESTART AFTER TAKING A BREAK AND THEN TRYING AGAIN A THIRD OR FOURTH TIME. YOU NEVER KNOW.4 MECHANIC SHOPS, INCLUDING NISSAN DEALERSHIP (TWICE) COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT. NO DIAGNOSTIC IS CLEAR ON THE ISSUE. ONE MECHANIC FOUND A THEFT/SECURITY CODE COME UP, BUT BOTH SETS OF KEYS WORK AND BOTH REMOTE LOCKS WORK. I CALLED THE LOCK RESET PEOPLE AND THEY SAID IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE A COMPUTER PROBLEM. FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS. I DO ALL THE REQUIRED AND RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE AND CHECKS. THIS IS BAD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
EXHAUST SYSTEM HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH 2 SEPARATE FAILURES REQUIRING A WELD JOB IN ORDER TO REPAIR. I HAVE COMPLETED ONE AT THE COST OF $200 AND THE SECOND WELD ESTIMATE IS PRICED AT $200. BOTH INSTANCES CAME ON SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT OTHER WARNING. EXHAUST SMELL OCCURS WHEN CAR FIRST STARTS AND DISAPATES AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MILES. EACH OCCURRED AT SEPARATE TIMES. BOTH FRONT BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN NOTED BY MY MECHANIC AS BEING LOOSER AND INDICATES NEEDING REPLACEMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE IN ORDER TO AVOID POTENTIALLY FATAL COLLISION OR SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION, STEERING, ETC., SYSTEMS.

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
MY CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 56,000 MILES ON IT AND SINCE HAVING THIS CAR I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR OF THE MASS AIR FLOW AND RELATED COMPONENTS ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I HAVE HAD 1 CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AND KNOWS SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH THE SUSPENSION. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS SAME ISSUES WHICH IS SASID TO BE THE SPRING COILS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES WITH A CAR THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT. NISSAN NEEDS TO OFFER EVERY CUSTOMERS THAT OWNS THIS CAR A REPLACEMENT CAR.SERIOUSLY!!! NOT TO MENTION ALL THE OTHER RECALLS THAT NEVER GET ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR VIN BUT, STILL HAS THE ISSUES.

EVERY TIME I GET GAS MY CAR CUTS OFF. I PUMPED THE GAS START THE CAR AND DRIVE A COUPLE FEET AND CAR CUTS OFF. NISSAN DOESN'T THINK ITS IMPORTANT AND THAT SENSE THEY CAN'T SEE THE PROBE IT ISN'T TRUE. I DON'T WANT MY CAR TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC DUE TO WHATEVER IS GOING ON. BRAKES GET STUCK OR GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN TRYING TO STOP AND GAS DRAINS VERY QUICKLY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR IN MOTION ON NJ STATE HIGHWAY 94, SPARTA, NJ. CAR HAD 39K MILES. THE FUEL PUMP FAILED ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDERS, BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO SOMEONE'S DRIVEWAY. IT WAS A SUNDAY AFTERNOON, 8/30/2015, BUT WAS ABLE TO GET TOWED THROUGH AAA. SITUATION WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS A BUSY HIGHWAY. A FUEL PUMP FAILURE OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING, IS DANGEROUS, AND SHOULD NOT OCCUR IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS A NISSAN DEALER'S REGULAR SERVICE RECORD, IS UNDER 40K MILES, AND DRIVEN ONLY BY TWO PEOPLE IN THEIR 70'S. RECEIPT FOR REPAIRS IS AVAILABLE IF REQUESTED.
