2014 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO ENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE WITH THE PUSH TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V418000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, NEEDED TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO SWITCH FOOT QUICKLY FROM GAS TO BRAKE PEDAL. REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND TOTALED MY NISSAN VERSA. AN EMERGENCY ROOM VISIT WAS NECESSARY. WE LEARNED ABOUT THE RECALL LAST WEEK THROUGH A MAILING TO OUR HOUSE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR 'USED' THROUGH CAR MAX, SO IT TOOK AWHILE FOR THE RECALL NOTICE TO FIND US.

NHTSA RECALL 15V-507. I'VE CALLED NALLEY NISSAN HERE IN ATLANTA SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED AND THEY REFUSE TO CALL ME BACK. THEY ARE THE CLOSEST PLACE NEAR MY WORK TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED AND I AM UNSURE WHAT TO DO NOW.

"NISSAN RECALL" WITHIN MY 1-YEAR WARRANTY, I'VE REPEATEDLY ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE ON MY NISSAN VEHICLE THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM; TOYOTA TOWN OF STOCKTON. MARCH 14TH, 2016, I, [XXX], ASKED FOR HELP. RECEIVED SOME KIND OF HELP, HOWEVER ENDED UP AS NO HELP AT ALL. AN EMPLOYEE THERE REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER EMPLOYEE THERE TO TAKE A LOOK AT MY CAR; HOWEVER, ENDED UP TEST DRIVING IT. HE SUPPOSEDLY HAD NOT HEARD THE UNPLEASANT NOISES THAT I WAS REFERRING TO. HE THEN SUGGESTED CHANGING MY BRAKES AND ROTORS. I WENT OUT MY WAY AFTER THAT DAY AND CHANGED MY BRAKES. THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. I GAVE UP ON THEM GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2016; I, [XXX], WAS DRIVING ON THE STREETS WHEN SUDDENLY WHEN I LIGHTLY PUSHED ONTO THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE HAD MERGED TO THE LEFT, WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT AGAINST THE CURB OF AN ISLAND. IT CAUSED BOTH TIRES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE TO BLOW OUT AND BENT MY RIMS ALSO. I HAD NO WAY OF GETTING BACK HOME WITH MY CAR. I HAD TO CALL A FRIEND TO COME HELP ME OUT IN AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION. I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE 12TH OF SEPTEMBER TO GET BOTH TIRES AND RIMS REPLACED. WHAT SHOULD MY NEXT STEPS BE? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON 10/11/2016 MY CARS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR WOULD SHIFT HARD TRYING TO GET INTO A HIGHER GEAR AND THEN WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL YOU COULD HEAR THE CAR ACCELERATE BUT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT AND ASIDE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON THAT IS WHY I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS WELL AS FOUND OUT THERE WAS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL ON THE CVT PROGRAM IN THAT YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. MIND YOU THIS IS THE FIRST I HEAR OF SUCH RECALL WHEN I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR OVER A YEAR AND THIS SUCH RECALL CAME OUT ON 08/12/2015. I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING VIA MAIL, EMAIL, OR PHONE. I HAVE NOT CHANGED MY ADDRESS NOR PHONE NUMBER IN YEARS SO I DON'T SEE WHY THEY DID NOT GET IN CONTACT WITH ME OR MY DAD. I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS WAS TAKEN CARE OF LAST YEAR WHEN THIS ALL CAME ABOUT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE IN THIS SITUATION WHERE THEY TREATING ME WITH SUCH DISRESPECT AND AS IF I DON'T KNOW MY RIGHTS AS A CUSTOMER. I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND AT ONE DEALERSHIP AND THE OTHER DEALERSHIP WAS "ON MY SIDE" AND ALL I WANT IS MY CAR TO BE FIXED AND NOT BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE I AM A FEMALE.

CONNECTIONS IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CRACK AND YOU MUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM INCLUDING THE PIPE AND THE MUFFLER. IN ADDITION, THE PIPE FROM THE CRACK FORWARD IS ALSO BEGINNING TO CRACK. THIS WAS MADE WITH DEFECTIVE METAL, AS A VEHICLE WITH 43,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THIS PIPE AND MUFFLER, BECAUSE NISSAN MADE IT AS ONE PIECE. THIS ENDS UP TO BE A $400+ JOB WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN SERVICE FOR MANY MORE MILES. THIS MUFFLER AND PIPE MUST BE ORDERED FROM NISSAN BECAUSE THERE ARE NO AFTERMARKET ALTERNATIVES. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON LINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DECREASED TO 10 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,999.

I HAVE HAD THREE PROBLEMS WITH MY REAR TIRES. YES THE FIRST TIME IT HAD A PIECE OF METAL FOUND BY THE DEALER IN A TIRE.#2 I HAD A FLAT AGAIN IN THE OTHER REAR TIRE "NO PROBLEM" FOUND BY THE DEALER.#3 ANOTHER FLAT TIRE FOUND IN THE SAME TIRE WHERE DEALER FOUND "NO" PROBLEM? I CHANGED THE TIRE "GREEN" TIRE TOP BY MYSELF HOPEFULLY NO FOURTH FLAT TIRE??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE CONTACT'S FOOT BECAME STUCK AND WAS UNABLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. HOWEVER, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V507000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,860.

SINCE ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO, I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF MY VERSA NOTE. FIRST I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN BECAUSE OF A BIG HUGE NOISE. THEY GAVE ME INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TO DO FOR AVOIDING THE NOISE WHEN CHANGING FROM PARKING TO DRIVE. SINCE THAT MOMENT I'VE BEEN DOING WHAT THEY ASKED ME TO, BUT SOMETIMES IT MAKES THE NOISE. NOW SINCE ABOUT THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, THE CAR IS MAKING A DIFFERENT NOISE LIKE IF IT IS GOING TO TURN OFF WHEN I USE THE BRAKE. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT STARTED MAKING A NOISE WHEN IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, LOOSE POWER, AND ALMOST TURN OFF. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY CHANGED THE AIR FILTER, AND THEY CLEANED SOMETHING ELSE. BUT THE CAR STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I USE THE BRAKE TO LET A PEDESTRIAN CROSS THE STREET, SOMETIMES AT A RED LIGHT, LAST MONDAY TO LET A PERSON GET OFF THE CAR; IT START MAKING A NOISE AND SHAKING LIKE TURNING OFF. I'M SURE THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION, BUT NISSAN DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
