IN 2014, MY VERSA'S RF COIL SPRING FRACTURED. A LARGE PIECE OF IT ACTUALLY DETACHED AND FELL ONTO THE ROAD AS THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE GARAGE AND THE SPRING AND STRUT WERE REPLACED. IN FALL OF 2015 I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. IN JANUARY 2016, I TOOK THE CAR TO CAPITAL NISSAN IN WILMINGTON, NC, WHERE I NOW LIVE, AND I WAS TOLD THAT IN ORDER FOR THE RECALL TO BE COMPLETED, I WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE A NEW RF AND LF STRUT OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE THE EXISTING STRUTS ARE FUSED BY CORROSION TO THE MOUNTS. MOREOVER, I WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN RECALL CENTER THAT I COULD NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS I ALREADY HAD COMPLETED UNTIL I HAD THE RECALL WORK COMPLETED. SO, I AM BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY NISSAN. THEY WON'T MAKE GOOD THE REPAIRS THAT THE RECALL FORCES THEM TO MAKE UNLESS I PAY THEM MORE MONEY AND THEY WON'T REIMBURSE ME FOR REPAIRS ALREADY MADE BY ME THAT WERE NECESSITATED BY THE DEFECT THAT LED TO THE RECALL. THIS DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT TO ME AND I AM APPEALING TO YOU FOR REDRESS. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME. I DON'T THINK YOUR RECALL WENT FAR ENOUGH, BY THE WAY. LATER IN THE SUMMER OF 2014, THE REPAIR FACILITY TO WHICH I HAD TAKEN THE VERSA FOR THE STRUT WAS INSPECTING MY CAR AND INFORMED ME THAT THE CROSSMEMBER FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AS WELL AS THE LOWER RIGHT CONTROL ARM, WERE CORRODED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THE WORKMANSHIP ON THIS CAR COULD BE SO SHODDY THAT PARTS WOULD RUST OUT IN SUCH A WHOLESALE FASHION - NOT UNTIL I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. THAT REPAIR COST ME AN ADDITIONAL $1600 (ROUGHLY, EXCLUDING TAX). I CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH INVOICES FOR THESE REPAIRS, IF IT WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM AND PERHAPS TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT OTHERS' CORROSION-RELATED TROUBLES WITH THE NISSAN VERSA.

TRANSMISSION FAILED RESULTING IN CAR LOSING POWER AND MAKING NOISES WHEN ACCELERATING. NISSAN IS NOT HONORING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR WHICH MY CAR IS ELIGIBLE AND WON'T RESPOND TO MY MANY CALLS AT ALL. IT HAS BEEN 7 WEEKS. THEY ARE STONEWALLING ME. THEY WON'T EVEN TELL ME THE NAME OR EXTENSION OF THE "SPECIALIST" HANDLING MY CASE.

MY NISSAN VERSA WAS RECALLED LAST YEAR FOR FAULTY COIL SPRINGS. THE LETTER SAID THAT PARTS WILL BE READY IN JANUARY 2016. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER TO HAVE THE PARTS ORDERED AND REPLACED. IT IS ALMOST APRIL 2016 AND THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I CALL MY DEALER ONCE A MONTH, THEY HAVE NOW CHOSEN TO SCREEN THEIR PHONE CALLS AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY SERVICE CALLS ABOUT THE RECALL. I THINK THAT NISSAN IS NOT PREPARED TO HANDLE THIS RECALL ON THE VERSA.

I WAS DRIVING AND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION I INADVERTENTLY BUMPED INTO MY GEAR SHIFTER HANDLE AND MY CAR SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITHOUT THE BREAK BEING DEPRESSED OR APPLIED. I ALMOST HAD AN CAR CRASH/ACCIDENT WITH THE PERSON DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. IN MARCH OF 2016 I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT THEY ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. MY CAR HAS APRROXAMETLY 57,470 MILES AS OF 03/30/2016 AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON ANY NISSAN OR NHSTA CAMPAIGN RECALL LISTS. THE REFERENCED NHSTA CAMPAIGN RECALL ID NUMBER ASSOCIATED WITH MY VEHICLE ISSUE IS ID: 12V032000 VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 2012 VERSA SEDAN SHIFT SELECTOR CAMPAIGN ID: PM253 APPLIED VEHICLES 2012 VERSA(N17) APPLIED TRANSMISSION CVT

OUR VERSA WILL NOT ACCELERATE, AT RANDOM INTERVALS, WHEN WE ARE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN MORTOR COMPANY NORTH AMERICA, THEY ACKOWLEDGED THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT ONE OR MORE PARTS USED IN THE CVT TRANSMISSION WERE KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. YET, THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE, REPAIR, OR EVEN ASSIST WITH REPAIRING OUR VERSA. I AM AFRAID THAT WE MAY ONE DAY BE HIT FROM BEHIND AS WE ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP LIGHT. THIS ACTUALLY ALMOST OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE EXTERIOR SIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS ARE NOT WIDE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SEE MOST VEHICLES INCLUDING LARGE SUV'S ETC, IN THE LANES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS MAKES CHANGING LANES VERY DANGEROUS. I'VE NEARLY COLLIDED WITH VEHICLES ALONGSIDE ME A NUMBER OF TIMES TRYING TO CHANGE LANES. THIS WILL BE A CONSTANT PROBLEM UNTIL THE MIRRORS ARE REPLACED OR I REPLACE THE CAR WITH ANOTHER BRAND.THIS ISSUE HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR CAUSING ACCIDENTS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. WHILE ALL CARS HAVE BLIND SPOTS, THE BLIND SPOTS FOR THIS CAR ARE ESPECIALLY SEVERE AND DANGEROUS DUE TO THE EXTERIOR SIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS BEING TOO SMALL FOR VEHICLES TO BE SEEN IN. NISSAN IS SOMEWHAT AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE FOR THE 2015 MODEL YEAR, NISSAN HAS ENLARGED THESE EXTERIOR SIDE REARVIEW MIRRORS SO THAT VEHICLES IN LANES ALONGSIDE THE VERSA CAN NOW BE MORE EASILY BE SEEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THE 2012-2014 VERSAS AND REPLACE THE EXISTING REVIEW EXTERIOR MIRRORS WITH THE LARGER MIRRORS THAT ARE NOW ON THE 2015-2016 VERSAS.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
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.
