SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY, AT APPROXIMATELY 75MPH, TRAFFIC SLOWED AND I LIGHTLY DEPRESSED MY BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW MY VEHICLE IN RESPONSE AND NO BRAKING WAS DETECTED. I PRESSED THE PEDAL FURTHER TO NO AVAIL. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE BRAKES FINALLY ENGAGED. THANKFULLY, I WAS TRAVELING AT A SAFE DISTANCE BEHIND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. NEVERTHELESS, THE EXPERIENCE WAS UNSETTLING. NORMAL BRAKE OPERATION RESUMED FOR A SHORT TIME. WITHIN 25 MILES OF THE LAST OCCURRENCE, I ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE EXCESSIVE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL, FOLLOWED BY NORMAL BRAKE OPERATION. I CAUTIOUSLY MADE MY WAY TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED, AND THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM TO BE A LEAK IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. DESPITE THE 115000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE, I FIND IT QUITE TERRIFYING THAT THE FAILURE OF A COMPONENT COULD PUT MY OCCUPANT AND I IN SUCH A PERILOUS SITUATION WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE, AND AM AWAITING FURTHER ASSISTANCE/REMEDY.

RECALL 15V507000 HAS NEVER BEEN DONE ON MY V ERSA. IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IT SHOULD BE FIXED. NISSAN IS BEING ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH FAILIGNJ TO FIX SAFETY PROBLEM SON CALLS. I FIND THAT NHTSA IS NOT FINING NISSAN FOR FAILURE TO FIX SAFETY ISSUES IN CAS. THEY LET CAR PROFITEERS GET AWAY WITH THE SAFETY PROBLEM ON CARS UNTIL PEOPLE DIE. THAT IS FAR TOO LONG AND TOO WRONG. I DO NOT THINK CONGRESS MEANT FORNHTSA TO DO NOTHING BUNTIL PEOPLE DIE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED A USED CAR FROM MR. BILL MOTOR CO IN ARLINGTON, TX ON PIONEER PARKWAY. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT. I CALLED TO INFORM MR. BILL MOTORS AND I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD SEND IT OUT TO BE LOOKED AT AND LET ME KNOW WHEN IT WAS READY FOR PICK UP. IT WAS TAKEN TO DG'S PERFORMANCE ON PIONEER PARKWAY FOR REPAIRS. ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE CAR RESUMED OVERHEATING, I CONTACTED MR. BILL MOTORS AGAIN AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEND THE VEHICLE OUT FOR REPAIR. THEY SENT IT TO LONGHORN TRANSMISSIONS. AS MY DAUGHTER WAS HEADED TO SCHOOL AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED ON I-20 IN ARLINGTON, TX THE CAR STARTS TO OVERHEAT AND STOPS ON HER, SHE COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR. SHE CALLS LONGHORN AND THEY SEND A TOW TO GET HER. SHE WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT PLACE THE CAP ON THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY ADDED FLUID TO IT SO THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR IS HEATING AGAIN. I CONTACT MR. BILL MOTORS AGAIN IN PERSON SO THEY COULD SEE AND WITH A VIDEO OF WHAT THE CAR HAD BEEN DOING, THEY TELL ME THEY WILL WORK ON IT THE NEXT DAY. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR FROM THE LOT, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND I ROLLED INTO THE STREET. TWO SALES MEN HAD TO PUSH THE CAR UNTO THE PROPERTY FROM THE STREET. TWO DAYS GO BY AND I AM TOLD THAT IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT WILL COST ME $1500 AND TAKE A WEEK TO REPAIR FROM SCOTT AND HE STATES THAT MATT ANOTHER MANAGER IS PRESENT WITH HIM. I CALLED TO DISCUSS STATUS UPDATE, MISSING ITEMS FROM THE CAR TO FIND OUT THEY WERE CHARGING ME $235 FOR THE TOW THAT LONGHORN TRANSMISSION BILLED THEM. I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS CHARGE, NOR DO I FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGE. THEY DID NOT PUT THE CAP ON THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGE AND THAT YOU DO NOT CHARGE ANYONE WITHOUT DISCUSSING THE AMOUNT WITH THE PERSON. I ASKED FOR THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR AND I STATED I WANTED TO SPEAK TO THE REPAIR PLACE. I WAS GIVEN A NUMBER FOR JEFF.

HEAT SHIELDS- UNDERCARRIAGE VIBRATE, MAKE ALL SORTS OF NOISE, THEN CRACK AT BOLTS WHERE MOUNTED AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS DONE ON MY VEHICLE AND UNLESS CORRECTED WILL BE A CONTINUAL PROBLEM. ALSO, THE PLASTIC, POORLY MADE, AIR INTAKE AT AND NEAR AIR BREATHER VIBRATE AND CLATTER TERRIBLY! THIS CAR HAS MORE UNDERCARRIAGE AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT NOISE THAN ANY VEHICLE I'VE OWNED. I MIGHT ALSO ADD THE ENGINE HAS VALVE TICK, WHICH DOES NOT SEEM TO SHOW IT'S UGLY HEAD WHEN AT THE DEALERSHIP.
