NISSAN VERSA WAS STOPPING NORMALLY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. AS AUTO CAME TO A COMPLETE NORMAL STOP AND BRAKE PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED AUTO VIOLENTLY LUNGED FORWARD DEPLOYING BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS. SAME VIOLENT TYPE OF STOPPING OCCURRED TWO WEEKS PRIOR ALSO BUT NO DEPLOYMENT AT THAT TIME.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I DRIVE A 2013 NISSAN VERSA. I'VE HAD IT ABOUT 4 YEARS, THE CAR HAS ABOUT 40,000 MILES. RECENTLY, MY CAR STARTED SHUTTERING (VIBRATING) AS I ACCELERATE. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE (THIRD TIME WILL BE EITHER TOMORROW OR TUESDAY) AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS DANGEROUS OR NOT AND NOT ONLY DO I DEPEND ON THIS CAR, BUT I DRIVE AN 82 YEAR OLD WOMAN AROUND TO DR APPOINTMENTS. NISSAN ITSELF DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM (YOU KNOW, LIKE FINDING OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.) THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND THE NHTSA NEEDS TO NOT ONLY HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, BUT ALSO FORCE NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'M PAYING A BOAT LOAD OF MONEY AND TIME TRYING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ISSUE

THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 85,000 MILES, TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT HE DEALS WITH IT ALL TIME AND IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THOSE TRANSMISSIONS AND DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN STILL USED THEM. SPOKE TO NISSAN USA AND THEY WANTED TO FIGHT TO PAY FOR THE COST AND WANTED TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE TECH LAUGHED AND SAID YOU COULDN'T REBUILD IT BECAUSE ITS A CLOSED SYSTEM. ONLY OWNERS OF THE CAR AND HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WITH 85,000 MILES ON IT.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (ALAN WEBB NISSAN, LOCATED AT 3608 NE AUTO MALL DR, VANCOUVER, WA 98662) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CTV TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 29733173 BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

AIR BAGS, SEATS
TAKATA RECALL. I BELIEVE MY CAR IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT IS A NISSAN VERSA 2013. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD RECENTLY STARTED FLASHING WITHOUT ANYTHING MAJOR HAPPENING TO THE CAR. THE PASSENGER SEATBELT LIGHT HAD STARTED FLASHING AFTER I WAS INVOLVED IN A SMALL HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT THAT AFFECTED THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS IN FULL STOPPED MOTION AT A TURNING RED LIGHT AND AN UNKNOWN PERSON HAD REAR ENDED MY CAR, SHORTLY AFTER I HAD NOTICED THE PASSENGER SEATBELT LIGHT HAD STARTED FLASHING. I AM IN FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT HAVE TO DO WITH THE HIT AND RUN, BUT IT JUST STARTED A FEW WEEKS AGO WHILE THE ACCIDENT WAS OVER 2 YEARS AGO. PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME AND I FEAR THAT I MIGHT GET INJURED IF THE AIRBAGS ARE RECALLED AND I GET INTO ANOTHER ACCIDENT. THANK YOU.

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY HEAT SHIELD SCREWS COMING UNDONE ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS COMMON ON A NISSAN VERSA. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH A SUITABLE REMEDY, SO THE SCREWS OR CLAMPS ON THE HEAT SHIELD DOESN'T CONTINUE TO LOOSEN UP. THE RATTLING NOISE IS VERY ANNOYING AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DISTRACTION IT CAUSES. THE ONLY WAY TO CURRENTLY TIGHTENING THE SCREWS OR REPLACE THEM IS TO BRING IT TO A GARAGE AND HAVE THE VEHICLE PUT ON A LIFT, WHICH IS AN EXPENSE, SINCE THIS PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE WELL AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THE DEALERSHIP SO CALLED FIXED MY LOOSENED OR REPLACED MY LOST CLAMPS SEVERAL TIMES AND I AM STILL EITHER TIGHTENING THE CLAMPS OR REPLACING THEM TWO YEARS AFTER MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I DON'T SEE THIS PROBLEM STOPPING. I BOUGHT TWO VERSAS ON THE SAME DAY, SO I NOW HAVE DOUBLE TROUBLE AND DOUBLE THE BILLS TO CONTINUALLY FIX THIS PROBLEM, WHICH IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AT BEST. IT'S BASICALLY A CHEAP THIN FOIL THAT IS THE HEAT SHIELD, WITH THE HOLE FOR THE CLAMPS WIDENING FROM THE VIBRATION OF THE VEHICLE, OR THE CLAMPS JUST LOOSEN FROM THE VIBRATION. THERE ARE SEVERAL CAUSES FOR THE HEAT SHIELD COMING UNDONE. I WOULD SAY INSTALLING A MORE RIGID MATERIAL FOR THE HEAT SHIELD AND BETTER QUALITY FASTENERS WITH LOCK WASHES WOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN
I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS 4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 62000 MILES ON IT. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT BEING RUN OVER BY THE SEMI TRUCKS TRAVELING THE HIGHWAY WITH ME. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS 'DEFECTIVE' AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE, I FIND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT AND ONE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT ALREADY SETTLED OVER THE SAME ISSUE. HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE USING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND NOT BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS CORRECTION? THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT CHEAP, AND THOSE OF US PAYING FOR THEM DID NOT PURCHASE A DISPOSABLE VEHICLE!

TAMARA RECALL: I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT & A DEER RAN IN FRONT OF MY CAR & THE FRONT BUMPER & RT HEADLIGHT HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY 2013 NISSAN, VERSA. MY INSURANCE PD IT. I AM NOT CERTAIN IF THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED BUT THEY DID NOT DEPLOY EVEN WITH MY PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES HARD & STILL HITTING THE DEER, I THOUGHT IT STRANGE THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WITH THE SUDDEN BRAKES & HITTING THE SIDE OF THE DEER. WAS THE AIRBAGS SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY IN THAT SITUATION? I DON'T KNOW. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS? UNKNOWN NOT DEPLOY. IS THIS NORMAL? I DON'T KNOW?

SERVICE BRAKES
IT WAS A RAINY DAY OUTSIDE. THE FRONT AND BACK BRAKE PADS/SHOES WERE REPLACED 10,000 MILES PREVIOUSLY AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN DOVER, OH. I WAS DRIVING ON NORMAL PAVEMENT. I DROVE ON A HIGHWAY AT SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH. I DROVE ON A VILLAGE MAIN ST AT A SPEED LIMIT OF 25 MPH. IT DID NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED OR WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS STRAIGHT OR TURNING: WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. AFTER THAT, WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THERE WAS ANOTHER CLUNKING NOISE. THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE BRAKES. I ASKED A PASSENGER TO JOIN ME TO TEST THE NOISE AND EVEN LET THEM DRIVE. THEY CONFIRMED. THE NOISE SUDDENLY STOPPED AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. ONCE IT STOPPED WE PULLED OVER AND POPPED THE HOOD AND SMELLED WHAT SEEMED TO BE BRAKE FLUID. CHECKED ALL THE FLUIDS IN THE CAR AND THEY WERE FINE.

SHAKING FEELS LIKE IT WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF. VEHICLE HAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT A FEELS TIMES ALREADY COMPLETELY TURNING OFF. VEHICLE DOESN'T NOT GO ABOVE 50-60 MPH WITHOUT STRUGGLING. HESITATES TO GO AFTER STOPPING AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT'S A ROUGH RIDE RATHER THEN BEING A SMOOTH RIDE IN THE PAST. IN ALL OCCASIONS I'VE HAD MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR. FIRST PROBLEM WAS JULY 28TH 2017 AT 5:15PM.
