AIR BAGS
WHENEVER I'M DRIVING ALONE, THE LIGHT THAT TELL ME THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS ON OR OFF, GOES ON AND OFF BY ITSELF. YESTERDAY I SAW AN ARTICLE ON CNN, THAT NISSAN IS RECALLING SOME VEHICLES BECAUSE THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SIDE IS MALFUNCTIONING, AND MAY PREVENT THE AIR BAG TO NOT GO OFF EVEN IF THERE IS A PASSENGER SITTING THERE. THE LIGHT DOES THIS ONLY WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS EMPTY. IF THERE IS A PASSENGER THE LIGHT GOES OFF AND STAYS OFF. I DID NOT SEE MY 2012 VERSA INCLUDED IN THE ARTICLE. ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS IN A CAR CRASH; I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND IT VEERED OF THE ROAD, CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL,ROLLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR EXPERIENCED FRONT IMPACT, SIDE IMPACT, REAR IMPACT, THE ROOF OF THE CAR CRUSH IN AND NOT ONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I HAVE PICTURES AVAILABLE IF NEEDED. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY DEFECT AND I FEAR THAT EVEN THOUGH I WAS FORTUNATE TO NOT BE CATASTROPHICALLY INJURED THAT SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME FORTUNE IF THIS MATTER IS NOT INVESTIGATED AND RESOLVED. *TR

MY DAUGHTER PUT KEY IN IGNITION. STARTED THE CAR. PLACED IT IN REVERSE. SHE MOVED BACKWARD ABOUT ONE INCH. MY WIFE, MY DAUGHTER AND MYSELF HEARD A LOUD SNAP. WE SAW NOTHING WRONG. SHE DROVE AWAY AND CAME BACK AFTER DRIVING 1/2 MILE. SHE HAD THE BROKEN PIECE FROM THE COIL SPRING. I KNEW INSTANTLY WHAT IT WAS. I LOOKED BEHIND THE FRONT WHEEL AND SURE ENOUGH. I'M AN OLD FARM BOY, NOW 57. I GUARANTEE YOU THIS IS A FAULTY PART. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT BADLY WHILE DRIVING ROAD SPEED. YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH THIS. I WILL KEEP THE BROKEN PART AS PROOF. IT WAS A CLEAN BREAK WHILE SITTING STILL. THIS FAULTY PART IS COSTING UPWARDS OF $900 TO REPAIR!!!:(:( NOT TO MENTION PUTTING PEOPLE AT VERY HIGH RISK. OTHERS ALL ACROSS THE USA AND CANADA ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. CHECK OUT THE FORUMS. CONCERNED AND DISGUSTED FATHER. *TR

WHEELS
I LOST TWO HUBCAPS. WHEN I DISCOVERED THE FIRST HUBCAP, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THE COST WOULD BE $150.00. A YEARS LATER, I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN I LOST THE HUBCAP. ANOTHER DRIVER FOLLOWED ME UNTIL I STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT. THE COUPLE INFORMED ME WHERE I LOST THE HUBCAP. THEY INFORMED ME THEY HAD TWO SWERVE TO PREVENT THE HUBCAP FROM ROLLING INTO THEIR VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO CHANGE MY NISSAN DEALER SERVICE LOCATION TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED. WHEN I ARRIVED TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE, THEY ASKED ABOUT MY HUBCAPS. I TOLD THEM WHAT THE PREVIOUS SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME. THIS NEW SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THE HUBCAP WERE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THE ORIGINAL DEALER SHOULD HAVE NEVER TRIED TO CHARGE ME TO REPLACE THE HUBCAP. THE SECOND DEALER TRIED TO WORK SOMETHING OUT FOR ME SINCE MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 35K MILES. BUT, THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. *TR

ENGINE, STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, AIR BAGS
DRIVING IN SNOWY/ICY CONDITIONS. VEHICLE STARTED ANGLE TOWARDS ONCOMING VEHICLE (LARGE POWER COMPANY BUCKET/BOOM TRUCK). THE TRUCKS DRIVER (THERE WERE MORE THAN ONE) SAW ME COMING AT HIM. THE TRUCK MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID ME. I COLLIDED INTO THE DRIVER CORNER OF THE LARGE TRUCK HEAD-ON. BUMPER WENT INTO THE ENGINE. TAIL-END OF MY VEHICLE SWUNG AROUND TO MEET HIS DRIVER SIDE WITH MY PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN MY VEHICLE BROKE LOOSE FROM THE BUMPER, THE WHOLE FRONT END CAME OFF AND PART OF THE ENGINE CAME OUT. ONCE I COLLIDED WITH MY PASSENGER SIDE, I SPUN AROUND HITTING THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE AS WELL. I SLID BACK ACROSS THE ROAD AS I WAS SPINNING INTO A SMALL AREA NEAR A FENCE. THAT IS WHERE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. NOW.... AFTER ALL THIS; THE ONLY AIR BAG THAT BLEW WAS THE CURTAIN BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DRIVER CURTAIN AIRBAG, THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL NOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IN THE DASH DID NOT GO OFF. I HAVE SUFFERED BODY(PHYSICAL AND MENTAL) DAMAGE FROM THIS ACCIDENT. I FEEL THAT SINCE I HIT HEAD-ON, THE DRIVER AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT THAT NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO ADMIT TO. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING 75 MPH (THE SPEED LIMIT) ON AS FLAT STRETCH OF TX190 WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO KEEP IT AT 60MPH BY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING SPEED BY TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN PRESSING IT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FOR THE LAST 8 MONTHS. IT STARTED WITH A HESITATION AND SQUEAL WHEN I LIGHTLY TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR TO ADJUST MY SPEED AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. TWO MONTHS AGO IT STARTED HESITATE-SURGE BEHAVIOR, LIKE IT WAS SEARCHING FOR THE RIGHT GEAR, AT FREEWAY SPEED LIMITS OR WHEN ACCELERATING TO FREEWAY OR CITY SPEED LIMITS. SOMETIMES IT'S SO STRONG I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE, NISSAN HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH ITS CVT FOR YEARS, YET I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO GET 3 NISSAN DEALERS IN 3 DIFFERENT TOWNS TO SERVICE THIS PROBLEM. ONE SAID THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THE OTHER TWO WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE ME AN APPOINTMENT. THEY BASICALLY SAID THIS IS JUST HOW THIS TRANSMISSION WORKS, LIVE WITH IT. I HAVE THIS INCIDENT AND OTHERS ON DASHCAM FOOTAGE. *TR

SEAT BELTS
CAR SEAT BELT ON PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT OPEN , THAT IS TO SAY THAT THE BELT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE THING IN WHICH IT IS PUT WHERE YOU PUSH THE RED BUTTON. SEVERAL STRANGERS TRIED TO HELP BUT IT WAS LOCKED AND PASSENGER WAS IN A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TIGHT SITUATION ( THANK GOD HE DID NOT SUFFOCATE). AND THE BELT WOULD NOT COME OUT. PASSENGER WAS STUCK, UNTIL WE CUT IT. WE WISH FOR THE BELT TO BE REPLACED BY NISSAN AND SHOULD THEY WANT A RECALL -PLEASE LET US KNOW. *TR

TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. HAD CAR TOWED TO A BODY SHOP WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT A COIL SPRING HAD BROKEN AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO BLOW. LOOKED ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN VERSA. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS UNHELPFUL, GETTING BASIC FACTS OF MY CASE WRONG AND CLAIMING NO LIABILITY SINCE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HIGH POTENTIAL FOR MORTALITY. I RECOMMEND AN INVESTIGATION INTO A POTENTIAL RECALL. *TR

THE CAR IS SLOW TO HEAT UP AND AFTER DRIVING ABOUT SIX TO FIFTEEN MILES THE TEMPERATURE DROPS TO A VERY LOW LEVEL. SOMETIME THE TEMPERATURE IS SO LOW THAT IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THE DASH GAUGE. THIS CONDITION IS MOST PREVALENT WHEN THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE IS LOW. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. *TR
