2014 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

VIBRATIONS FELT THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN, SEATS AND FLOOR, WHENEVER CAR IS IN GEAR AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR IDLE. VIBRATION GETS WORSE WHEN AC OR DEFROST IS TURNED ON. IT GOES AWAY WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. HOWEVER CAR TAKES SOME TIME TO MOVE WHEN SHIFTING BACK TO DRIVE, AND THIS CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO HIT YOU FROM BEHIND. TAKEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS VIBRATION IS COMPLETELY NORMAL AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. VERY DISAPOINTED TO SAY THE LEAST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. AS A RESULT, DUST, POWDER, AND SMOKE ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VISION WAS IMPAIRED. THE CONTACT REAR ENDED A VEHICLE, WHICH THEN CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES WITH HIGH PRESSURE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE OTHER AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED ARM, CHEST, AND FINGER INJURIES. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED; HOWEVER, A FINAL DECISION REGARDING THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DECIDED. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED FRONT END DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

THE HEAT SHIELD COVERING THE EXHAUST UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND WAS REPLACED 2 TIMES. THE CRACKING OCCURS WHERE THE HEAT SHIELD IS HELD TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE BY SCREWS AND BOLTS. THE WASHERS AND BOLTS ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE PREDRILLED HOLES AND CAUSES STRESS FRACTURES AT THE HOLE. THIS CAUSES THE HEAT SHIELD TO COME LOOSE AND RATTLE AGAINST THE EXHAUST. THERE ARE OTHER MODELS WITH SIMILAR HEAT SHIELDS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE MATERIALS ARE THE SAME. THE RATTLE CAUSES DISTRACTED DRIVING AS WELL AS POSES A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD IF THE ENTIRE UNIT WERE TO FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT COULD CAUSE UNSAFE VEHICLE OPERATION OR HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE.

ME AND MY SPOUSE WERE REAR ENDED LAST NIGHT AT A RED LIGHT. NEITHER OF THE AIRBAGS FUNCTIONED AND HER SEATBELT DIDN'T HOLD HER TO HER SEAT, CAUSING HER TO IMPACT THE DASHBOARD WITH HER FACE. HER NOSE IS BROKEN AND SHE ALSO HAS HEMATOMAS ON HER EYES AND FOREHEAD.

I WANT TO KNOW WHO MANUFACTURED THE AIRBAGS IN MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN AND MY SPOUSE'S 2009 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THE AIRBAG BUT I AM AWARE FROM GOOD PRESS REPORTS INCLUDING NYTIMES THAT MANY VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME OR SIMILAR TAKAT-MANUFACTURED BAGS TO THOSE RECALLED AND AT LEAST ONE FATALITY HAS OCCURRED IN SUCH A VEHICLE. I HAVE SEARCHED AND THE ONLY INFORMATION ONLINE I HAVE FOUND IS THE LIST OF RECALLED MODELS. IF MINE IS NOT THERE, I STILL HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHO MANUFACTURED THE AIRBAG AND WOULD APPRECIATE THE NHTSA SUPPLYING SUCH INFORMATION. ALTERNATIVELY, HOW DO I GET THE CARMAKER TO INFORM ME OF THE AIRBAG MANUFACTURE? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. I AM VERY PLEASED THAT AN AGENCY SUCH AS YOURS EXISTS.

I'VE UPLOADED A DETAILED OUTLINE OF WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH THE CAR. PLEASE SEE THE DOCUMENT.

MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA S WILL NOT EXCEED 23 MILES PER HOUR. IT HAPPENED FIRST ON 12/26/15 AND I HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED SEVERAL HOURS LATER SAYING THE CAR WAS FINE AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN 12/28/15 I WAS LEAVING A FROM A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT AND ONCE AGAIN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 23MPH. I DROVE THE VEHICLE ABOUT 3 MILES INTO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM DRIVE IT SO THEY COULD SEE WHAT I MEANT. THEY DID DRIVE IT AND SAID THEY WILL GIVE ME A LOANER CAR AND WOULD DIAGNOSE MORE TOMORROW. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR SURE,.

CAR STARTED ACTING UP ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND A HALF NOW WHEN I DRIVE IT ACCELERATES VERY SLOWLY AND WHEN I BRAKE IT MAKES THIS RUMBLING NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED ON AS WELL THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND THAT IS VERY LOUD WHEN I ACCELERATE ALSO AND TURN ON THE ENGINE HAD THE CAR CHECKED TWICE BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICAL PLACES AND THEY TEST DROVE ON BOTH OCCASIONS AND THEY SAID ITS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION STATED I SHOULD TAKE IT TO NISSAN TO GET IT LOOKED AT FEEL IT'S TO SHORT OF A TIME FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO BE ACTING UP IF THAT BECAUSE THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WITH OIL CHANGES AND HAS THE PROPER MAINTENANCE SINCE PURCHASED
