2014 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (PLANET NISSAN IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA) WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY WHILE RUNNING, SECOND TIME I WAS PARKED, BUT WHEN I TRY TO BACK UP IT SHOT DOWN THIRD TIME WAS RUNNING. NISSAN WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME THEY PRACTICALLY SAID YOUR ON YOUR ON, AND I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THAT CAR, IT'S JUST A TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE THE VICTIM

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR FAULTY... READS AS AIRBAG OFF WHEN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT

THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GOES OVER 100 DEGREED. I HAVE NO BRAKES AND IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.

IN JUNE, 2017, MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA JERKED AND THE ENGINE DIED WITH NO WARNING WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE. I HAD BEEN IDLING IN PARK WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES PRIOR TO THIS OCCURRING. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS BETWEEN 112-115 DEGREES IN LAS VEGAS, NV. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY VERSA. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AT THIS TIME.

TO MY UNDERSTANDING, MY CAR HAS BEEN OVERHEATING AND THE FIRST TIME IT OVERHEATED IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD NO COOLANT. THEN, THE SAME NIGHT, I BOUGHT SOME COOLANT AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT THE NEAREST AUTO ZONE. COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THOUGH, THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF AGAIN. LUCKILY, EACH TIME WAS ON THE STREET SO I CAN FLASH MY EMERGENCY SIGNAL. HOWEVER, I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS RECENT NEWS UPDATE AND ENSURE MY SAFETY.

MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA SHUT DOWN TODAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING! LUCKLY I WAS ON A PARKING STRUCTURE. I LOOKED UP MY VIN FOR ANY RECALLS AND IT SHOWS 0 HOWEVER, I DID LOCATE A RECALL THAT WAS MADE FOR 2014 NISSAN VERSAS SEDAN FOR THE EXACT SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR AND I'M WONDERING WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART THE THE RECALL VIN NUMBERS.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN JANUARY OF 2014. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE. THE WHOLE MUFFLER SYSTEM FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON BACK NEEDS REPLACED. THAT INCLUDES THE RESONATOR AND THE MUFFLER AND THE PIPES. WHY? IT LASTED ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS WITH 51,000 MILES ON IT? THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I PAID CASH FOR THE CAR AND HAVE NO EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHAT KIND OF GARBAGE PARTS ARE THEY USING. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND I KNOW WE GET ROAD SALT PROBLEMS BUT NOT IN 3 1/2 YEARS. HOW THIN IS THE METAL THEY USED? THERE IS NOT EVEN AN AFTERMARKET PART TO REPLACE THESE PARTS. WHAT A RIP OFF.

IN MOTION. THIS CAR WOULD VIBRATE WHILE STEERING (TURNING) AND ACCELERATING, FORCING THE RMPS TO FLEX UP WITHOUT GAIN OF POWER. THE RPMA WOULD RANDOMLY FLEX UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT A MAINTAINED SPEED. THEN A DAY AT A STORE I TURN THE CAR ON, WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AN IT STALLED OUT- 5 TIMES TO GET TO TO MOVE. THEN IT WOULD STALL OUT WHILE COMING TO A STOP/AT A STOP/STILL IN GEAR (DRIVE) SO I WOULD HAVE TO SLAM IT INTO NEUTRAL WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP OR AT A STOP. UNTIL ONE DAY AS I WAS DRIVING I DIDN'T NEED TO COMPLETELY STOP AS I TURNED TO ANOTHER ROAD BC NO ONE WAS COMING, AS I USED THE ACCELERATOR TO GAIN MY SPEED THE RMP FLEXED UP AND DOWN BUT MY SPEED DECREASED LEADING TO THE CAR STALLLING OUT ON SIDE OF ROAD. I TURNED IT OFF THEN TRIED TO START IT AND TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT AGAIN STALLED OUT, AFTER THAT IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER AN IT GOT TOWED TO MY PLACE WHERE IT SITS AND DOESN'T START OR MOVE, IT HAS 3 RECALLS COME TO FIND OUT AN I CONTACTED NISSAN WHICH TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT TOLD ME TO GO CALL NISSAN. SO PRETTY MUCH I'VE GOTTEN ZERO INFORMATION AN A RUN AROUND. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'M LUCKY I WASN'T DRIVING 60MPH OR MORE AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND EVERYTHING LOCKS UP. WILL BE TRYING TO START THIS CAR TO DETERMINE IF IT SHOULD NEED TO BE TOWED 3 HOURS AWAY FROM THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP.
