UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM AT 27000 MILES, AND I'VE STARTED TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT JERKING OF THE CAR BETWEEN 1000-2000 RPM. IT'S ALMOST AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION SKIPS A BEAT, IN SOME CASES SLIGHTLY PROPELLING THE VEHICLE FORWARD. IF YOUR FOOT IS STARTING TO GO DOWN ON THE BRAKE, THERE IS A MOMENT THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWS DOWN (YOU TAKE THE FOOT OFF THE BRAKE SLIGHTLY), THEN PROPELS FORWARD. THIS JERKING ACTION CAN CAUSE A SEVERE ISSUE WITH STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT OR ABOUT TO MAKE A TURN. AT THE SAME TIME, YOU HEAR THE REV COUNTER ABRUPTLY JUMPING CHANGING AS WELL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS SITTING STATIONARY AT A STOP LIGHT IN TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET AND MY BRAKE LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT, AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND I IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER STEERING. I HAD TO GUIDE MY VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN SOUTH MORROW FOR SERVICE. I HAD ALSO HAD SOME MINOR IGNITION ISSUES RELATING TO TURNING MY KEY AND NOT SEEING MY CLOCK RADIO BECOME VISIBLE BUT WAS REMEDIED BY USING MY SPARE CAR KEY. NISSAN SOUTH MORROW SAID THAT THE CAR DROVE WELL WITH NO ISSUES. UNSURE WHETHER IT WAS ACTUALLY LOOKED AT.

POWER TRAIN
I HAD ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 40 MPH, AND IT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO GUIDE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TO MY ASTONISHMENT, IT TURNED OUT TO BE MY TRANSMISSION. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAD TO PUT IN A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. IT SCARES ME TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN GOING FASTER, OR IF SOMEONE HAD CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. I LATER READ WHERE NISSAN HAD BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR YEARS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN A MINOR FENDER-BENDER, AT AROUND 5MP FROM A DEAD STOP, THE FRONT DRIVER BUMPER HIT A CAR IN FRONT, CAUSING A SCRATCH TO THE OTHER NEWER-MODEL CAR. BESIDES THE HEADLIGHT, BUMPER, HOOD AND FENDER DAMAGE, THE FRAME HOLDING THE ENGINE WAS BENT, CAUSING SO MUCH DAMAGE THAT THE REPAIR COSTS EQUALED THE VALUE OF THE CAR, SO IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN, MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP THAT LED TO THIS MUCH DAMAGE FROM A COMMON MINOR INCIDENT.

MY 2018 NISSAN VERSA SV DOES NOT HAVE A BACKUP CAMERA. IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE UPGRADED BY THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER? ALSO IT HAS A MECHANICAL KEY SYSTEM WHICH I READ WAS GOING TO BE RECALLED ON OCT 19, 2018 DUE TO POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE MECHANICAL KEY SYSTEM, IS IT TRUE THERE IS A RECALL BEING ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM ?

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS PERFORMING A MONTHLY INSPECTION UNDERNEATH MY 2018 NISSAN VERSA IN AUGUST 2018 TO INSURE THERE WAS NOT ANY VISIBLE LEAKS. UPON MY INSPECTION I OBSERVED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL LOCATED ON THE AREA WHERE THE ENGINE MEETS THE TRANSMISSION. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 8-30-2018. UPON THEIR INSPECTION THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED IT WAS "NORMAL" FOR THIS AREA TO SEEP / LEAK OIL EVEN ON NEW CARS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FURTHER STATED NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY UNLESS THE OIL WAS " HITTING THE GROUND" THE OIL WAS WIPED OFF AT THIS TIME. OVER THE COURSE OF THE FOLLOWING COUPLE OF WEEKS I CHECKED AREA SEVERAL TIMES AND OBSERVED OIL REAPPEARING. EACH TIME I WIPED THE OIL OFF , IT CONTINUES TO SEEP/ LEAK OR REAPPEAR A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER WIPING AREA. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SUDDEN COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE SEAL WHERE THE OIL IS REAPPEARING AND THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE HAZARD. PHOTO OF ISSUE ATTACHED.
