POWER TRAIN
THIS CAR HESITATES. I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN AND NOTHING HAPPENS. I JUST ROLL. WHEN I MAKE A LEFT TURN - I HAVE CARS BEHIND ME HONKING AT ME TO GET MOVING, BUT NOTHING WORKS. THEN, SUDDENLY THE CAR SHOOTS FORWARD. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND NOT ONLY ON LEFT TURNS, BUT THEY ARE THE WORST. BEFORE MAKING A LEFT TURN, EVERYONE MAKES SURE THERE IS NO CAR APPROACHING. BUT, EVERY LEFT TURN IS A REAL ISSUE FOR ME, BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF THE CAR IS GOING TO MOVE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE, ONLY TO BE TOLD IT WAS FINE WHEN THEY TESTED IT AND BRING IT BACK WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK RIGHT. I WAS EVEN TOLD THAT THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS ARE CLOSE TOGETHER AND MAYBE I WAS PUSHING BOTH OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME. SO, IT WAS A WOMAN'S CRAZY PROBLEM SHE WAS CREATING HERSELF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE GOING DOWNHILL AT 30-35 MPH WE STARTED TO COME UPON A RED LIGHT. THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN BUT NOT BY MUCH AS IT KEPT GOING AT A STEADY RATE. FINALLY AFTER PRESSING HARD ON THE BRAKES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR THE CAR BEGAN TO STOP. IT EVENTUALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROSSWALK.

POWER TRAIN
WAS DRIVING ON SOUTH ON HWY 86 IN CALIFORNIA ..I CAME UP ON THE BACK OF A TRUCK AND SLOWED DOWN... I WENT TO PASS TRUCK AND FELT LIKE THE CLUTCH WAS SLIPPING. THEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I PULLED OVER AND I PULLED THE PEDAL OUT AND LET GO AND IT SHOT BACK TO THE FLOOR IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS A LARGE SPRING PULLING ON THE PEDAL. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SAW OIL SPLATTERS THAT APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM THE SLAVE CYLINDER. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING US THAT IT IS ABUSE HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN ON OPEN HIGHWAYS WITHOUT IT BEING NECESSARY TO SHIFT FOR 95% OF ITS SHORT 4400 MILES LIFE ! *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2105 NISSAN VERSA 4DR. SEDAN IN JANUARY 2015. I BOUGHT A BASIC CAR, AS I DESIRE. THE CAR HAS NON-POWER WINDOWS AND NON-REMOTE OR POWER DOOR LOCKS. I DISCOVERED LATER THAT THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE ANY WAY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TO ACCESS THE CAR IF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED. THERE IS NO KEYHOLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE LOCKED CAR CANNOT BE ACCESSED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN AN EMERGENCY (OR IF THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS BLOCKED SUCH AS BY A CAR PARKING TOO CLOSE OR AN OBJECT) . IN MY CASE, I HAVE TWO CHILDREN WHO RIDE IN THE BACK. WHAT MAKES THIS WORSE IS THE CAR HAS A CHILD SAFETY FEATURE THAT MAKES THE DOORS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE IF A BUTTON IS PUSHED IN THE DOOR JAMBS (BY A PARENT). IF THE FEATURE IS ENGAGED, A PERSON (PARENT) CANNOT GET ACCESS TO THE CAR EXCEPT THRU THE DRIVER'S DOOR WHICH MIGHT BE BLOCKED. THIS SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES RENDERS THE CAR INHERENTLY UNSAFE IN MY VIEW. NISSAN CUT A CORNER HERE TO SAVE MONEY AND HAS CAUSED THIS SAFETY CONCERN AS A RESULT. THIS CAR SHOULD BE CONSIDERED UNSAFE. *TR

GAS DOOR RELEASE IS IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO HOOD RELEASE WITH NO DISTINGUISHING TACTILE DIFFERENCES. HOOD RELEASE WAS ACCIDENTALLY PULLED, ALONG WITH GAS DOOR RELEASE. CAR WAS DRIVEN FROM STATION AND, AFTER HITTING BUMP IN ROAD, WAS RELEASED. FORTUNATELY, SPEED WASN'T GREAT ENOUGH FOR THE HOOD TO FLY BACK INTO WINDSHIELD. DESIGN AND LOCATION OF CONTROLS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DELAYED ACCELERATION AND DELAYED DECELERATION. THROTTLE ALWAYS REACTS HALF-SECOND BEHIND PEDAL MOVEMENTS, CAUSING DIFFICULTY PULLING OUT FROM A STOP, AND SHIFTING GEARS, IN CAR WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSES CAR TO STALL REGULARLY WHEN PULLING OUT IN FIRST GEAR, RISKING TRAFFIC ACCIDENT!THIS ABUSES THE CLUTCH AND WELL MAKE IT WHERE INCORRECTLY AND WILL REQUIRE CLUTCH REPLACEMENT LONGER SOONER THEN EXPECTED LIFETIME. *TR
