ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The driver side door lock was frozen and would not open with the use of electrical button inside of car, the remote, or manually with key outside of the car. I was trapped inside of the car and could not get out of the car through the driver's side door and had to climb out of driver seat over to passenger door to get out of the car. If I was older and had health problems I would of not been able to get out of the car. Very dangerous and should not ever happen to any car door. When I took my car into my mechanics for repair, there was another Versa that was brought in for the exact same problem, unbelievable. I did write to Nissan and they had a consumer affairs person call me. I spoke to a women and she informed me that Nissan did not have any recalls for the door locks. I expressed my concern for the safety and she told me that I should of taken the car to the Nissan dealer. I told her that I was not able to get into the driver's door and had my daughter climb into the car to drive to our mechanic to have it repaired as there is not a Nissan dealer nearby.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ENGINEERING FLAW ON NISSAN'S BEHALF. WATER COLLECTS INTO THE VEHICLES CABIN AND UNDERCARRIAGE AND AFFECTED THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS SO MUCH THAT IT AFFECTED THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND ABS LIGHT TO COME ON. I LOST BRAKING POWER AND COULD OF HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. MY WHOLE ELECTRICAL HARNESS IS NON EXISTENT AT THIS POINT. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE AT THIS POINT. THEIR HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NISSAN NEEDS A LIFETIME RECALL ON THIS OR NEEDS TO REFUND OUR MONEY BACK. I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN HOPES TO GET SOME RECONCILIATION, BUT THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IF YOU HAVE THE AC FULL BLAST AND ARE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR WILL STALL OUT AS IF IT WEREN'T GETTING FUEL BECAUSE IT WON'T START RIGHT BACK UP. IN ORDER FOR ME TO START IT I HAD TO PRESS AND DEPRESS THE ACCELERATION PEDAL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN IT OVER. IF TURNING OVER EXCEEDS THE BATTERIES VOLTAGE IT WILL KILL THE BATTERY RESULTING IN WORSE PROBLEMS. IF YOU'RE LUCKY IT WILL TURN OVER AFTER A LONG TIME TURNING IT OVER WHILE PUSHING GAS PEDAL BUT IF YOU DON'T UNPLUG AND PLUG IN THE FUEL PUMP IT MIGHT NOT WORK. IF YOU IDLE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME YOU'LL STALL OUT FOR SURE ONCE THE CAR STARTS SPUTTERING HITTING THE GAS PEDAL WILL ONLY INCREASE THE SPEED OF THE STALL BECAUSE LETTING GO SEEMS TO DRAIN THE SYSTEMS FUEL AND IT SEEMS YOU'LL HAVE TO GET THE FUEL RUNNING THRU SYSTEM AGAIN. THIS CAR ALSO HAS A LOT MORE WRONG WITH FOR STARTERS THE TRUNK IS NOT SEALED BY WELDING IT HONESTLY LOOKS LIKE BROWN PAINT WHICH DOESN'T COMPLETELY COVER THE CRACKS BETWEEN THE FRAME AND TRUNK BOTTOM AND SOMETIMES I GET LIGHT HEADED WHEN IDLING BEFORE IT STARTED TO STALL OUT. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS MADE IN MEXICO AND SEEMS TO BE CHEAPLY MADE BECAUSE THE TRIM DOESN'T EVEN DISPLAY THE VERSA S JUST VERSA ASIDE FROM THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING IT THE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK NO LONGER WORKS NEITHER DOES THE TRUNK. YOU CAN HEAR THE WIND THRU THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING AND THE FLOOR SEEMS POORLY INSULATED FROM HEAT. THE BLOWER MOTOR ISN'T BLOWING THE AC OUT AS HARD AS IT WAS. WHEN ACCELERATING POPS ARE HEARD COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR WHICH I DON'T KNOW THE SOURCE BUT I DO KNOW IT CAN'T BE GOOD. THIS VEHICLE IS MY MOTHER'S BUT I DRIVE IT A LOT AND THIS IS ONLY MY HALF OF THE EXPERIENCE. I HONESTLY THINK SHE GOT SCAMMED BECAUSE THIS 2017 CAR DOESN'T HAVE ELECTRIC SEATS, DOOR LOCKS OR WINDOWS AND DOESNT EVEN HAVE A KEY FOB OR ALARM.

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE AC OK MY CAR KEEPS GOING OUT. THIS YEAR IT WAS SO BAD THAT IF I HAD ACCIDENTALLY TURNED IT ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THAT THE CAR WOULD COMPLETELY STOP AND I COULD BE DANGEROUSLY HURT WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK UP ALSO. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY WOULDN'T EVEN LET ME TALK TO ANYONE THAT COULD POSSIBLY HELP. THE VEHICLE INITIALLY TURNED OFF WHEN I WAS MAKING A UTURN AFTER LEAVING WORK SO I PARKED IT SO I WOULDN'T BE STRANDED OR BLACK TRAFFIC. *TR

ENGINE
HYDROCARBONS ARE LEAKING INTO THE CAR CABIN. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO NISSAN SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD TWO REGIONAL TECH SPECIALISTS LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. I EVEN GAVE NISSAN THE NAME OF THE MECHANICS THAT FOUND THE LEAK AS WELL AS A COPY OF MY MEDICAL RECORD THAT SAID I HAD CARBON DIOXIDE POISONING. THE LAST INSPECTION I HAD WITH NISSAN THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME A COPY OF THE INVOICE/WORKORDER. NISSAN SAID IF I WANTED A COPY I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW. I HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 10 TIMES FOR THE SAME ENGINE LEAK THAT I MAKING ME SICK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE NISSAN VERSA 2017 IS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING IN THE ROAD BECAUSE IT TURNS OFF WHILE IT'S DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I FIXED MY CAR 2 TIMES AND IT KEEPS ON HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY MADE ME BUY PARTS THAT THE CAR DIDN'T EVEN NEED AND THE CAR BROKE DOWN 20 MILES LATER AFTER IT BEING 'FIXED'. NOW I TOOK IT BACK AND I HAVE TO PAY AGAIN FOR IT TO BE FIXED AND IDK IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS CAR.
