2014 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON 02/14/2014 AND YESTERDAY WAS THE FORTH TIRE TO GO FLAT ALL FOUR HAVE BEEN ON THE BACK DRIVER SIDE. THE FIRST TWO I'M NOT 100% ON WHAT CAUSED IT AS I JUST ASSUMED I RAN OVER A NAIL THE FIRST TIME AND THEN JUST HAD BAD LUCK ON THE 2ND TIME. THE THIRD TIME (STARTING IN OCTOBER OF 2014-RIGHT AFTER THE 2ND FLAT AND GETTING A BRAND NEW TIRE) THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. WOULD CHECK AND IT WOULD BE LOW. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE LOCATION I GOT THE NEW TIRE FROM AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. WHEN A FEW MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS. IN DECEMBER THE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET OIL CHANGED...THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT...THEY FILLED IT WITH AIR. AGAIN I HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL IT WAS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE, AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIME. IN APRIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT A LOT QUICKER. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, NOTHING. NEXT DAY IT WAS FLAT AGAIN HAD TO PUT AIR IN IT TWICE SO I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP, AGAIN THEY FOUND NOTHING. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN HAD TO PUT AIR IN IT TWICE, AGAIN TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP (YAP THREE DAYS IN A ROW). LEFT IT THERE ALL DAY. THEY FOUND A PIN HOLE IN THE SIDE. I BOUGHT A NEW TIRE. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE BACK DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLOW. THIS TIME THERE IS A INCH SIDE SLASH ON THE OUT SIDE OF THE TIRE. IN THE SAME PLACE AS THE PIN HOLE IN THE OTHER TIRE. IT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE THE SEEM WHERE THE BUMPER IS ATTACHED TO THE CAR IS TO SHARP OR RUFF AND KILLING THAT TIRE. I STILL HAVE THE TWO TIRES WITH THE ISSUES AND WILL TRY TO WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS FIXED.

WHEN STARTING UP FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE 18000 MILES I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE NEW. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. WHEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER, HE DIDN'T SEEM CONCERNED BUT TOLD ME I COULD LEAVE IT FOR A FEW DAYS TO TRY AND MAKE IT HAPPEN. WITH NO OFFER OF A LOANER, I COULD NOT BE WITHOUT THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM AND WILL RETURN TO THE DEALER AND DEMAND A FULL EVALUATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE INFREQUENCY OF THE PROBLEM MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY ANY LESS SERIOUS.

WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR, I WENT TO START IT BY PRESSING THE BRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID AS WELL. IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES FOR THEM TO RELEASE AND COME BACK UP, BEFORE I COULD GET MY CAR STARTED AND DRIVE BACK HOME. I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE IT WAS GOING TO STICK AGAIN ON MY 2 HOUR RIDE BACK HOME.

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN VERSA NOTE ON 05/14/2014 I TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN IN OCALA FLORIDA. COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKES. NOW THEY ARE 10 TIMES WORSE, THE CENTER CONSOLE DOES NOT WORK,THE PAINT IS PEALING,AND THE PAINT ON BUMPER IS CRACKING. I WAS SIDESWIPED ON AUGUST 2014 AND THE BRAKES ALMOST CAUSED US HARM, I SWERVED OFF THE ROAD JUST IN TIME. I COULD NOT COME TO A SHORT STOP,DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT HOLDING THE ONCOMING CAR CAME OFF THE ROAD AND SIDE SWIPED MY CAR. AND THEN WENT BACK ON THE ROAD TO HIT 2 MOTORCYCLES HEADON. THAD CAR CAME OVER INTO MY SIDE OF THE ROAD,AND WAS COMING AT ME HEAD ON.THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. I AM GLAD I KEPT MY COOL AND SWERVED TO THE RIGHT ENDING OFF THE ROAD. IF NOT I WOULD BE DEAD RT NOW. ALSO I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE. I TOOK IT TO BE CHECKED AT A TIRE SHOP IN TEMPLE TEXAS.THE TIRE ASSISTANT SHOWED ME MY TIRE, BELIEVE IT? I HAVE A HARD TIME! THERE WAS A PLUG IN MY BRAND NEW TIRE. ON A BRAND NEW CAR PURCHASED FROM A NISSAN DEALER! THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. I HAVE TO GIGGLE AND GIGGLE THE CELL PHONE CHARGING UNIT TO GET THE PHONE TO CHARGE.IN BOTH INSERTS.THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY ALL THE TIME.......SOMETIMES ON A FULL TANK IT SHOWS 200 MILES AND OTHER TIMES IT SHOWS 369 MILES.......THE PAINT BUBBLED UP AND IS PEALING. I AM SURE THERE IS MOST LIKELY OTHER ISSUES.

WAS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT WHEN I SAW CAR APPROACHING FAST BEHIND ME. TRIED TO ACCELERATE, BUT CAR STALLED AND I WAS REAR ENDED. WAS TAKEN TO ER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE CONTACT'S FOOT BECAME STUCK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE REAR. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED BECAUSE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN VERSA FROM MAITA NISSAN IN SACRAMENTO (NOW CALLED SACRAMENTO NISSAN) ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2014 AND I'M JUST NOT SATISFIED. THE VIN NUMBER IS [XXX] I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN VERSA FROM MAITA NISSAN IN SACRAMENTO (NOW CALLED SACRAMENTO NISSAN) AND I'M JUST NOT SATISFIED. THIS CAR DOES NOT AT ALL SOUND LIKE A NEW CAR. I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT WITH 9 MILES ON IT, BUT IMMEDIATELY NOTICED HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SMOOTHLY GET INTO GEAR. IT'S LOUD AND ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMPLETELY BROKEN. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE I HEAR A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHETHER IT'S ON A FLAT SURFACE OR IN THE DRIVEWAY. I'VE DISCUSSED HEARING THIS SOUND BEFORE 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND ALSO WENT TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT 4 TIMES. I'M BEING TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. I DIDN'T PURCHASE A "BRAND NEW" CAR TO HAVE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND ADVISED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUES AND REQUESTED A BUY BACK. AFTER WAITING 3 WEEKS FOR AN ANSWER, THEY ADVISED ME ON 4/9/15 THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ACCOMMODATE MY REQUEST. I FEEL THIS CAR HAS AN UNSAFE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKING SYSTEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER BEING READY TO BACK UP I PLACE THE 2014 VERSA IN REVERSE. I TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR AND STARTED TO BACK UP AND WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE PEDAL MY FOOT WAS CAUGHT ON SOMETHING AND I WAS ACTUALLY ADDED PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. I BACKED UP AND I TRIED TO SWING THE CAR AWAY FROM THE PARKED RENTAL CARS BEHIND ME. WAS ABLE TO PULL MY FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR AND PUSHED THE SHIFTER INTO PARK. I HIT THREE CARS WHEN I WAS BACKING UP. WE DAMAGED OUR REAR FACIA AND THE REAR FACIAS OF THE THREE CARS I HIT AND IT ALSO DAMAGED THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OF LAST CAR I HIT. WHILE EXAMINING THE DAMAGE OF FORM THE ACCIDENT A SUPERVISOR FROM THE RENTAL COMPANY SAID WE SHOULDN'T FEEL SO BAD SINCE ONE OF THEIR DRIVERS HAD DONE SOMETHING SIMILAR BUT ONLY DAMAGED THE CAR THAT HE WAS MOVING. AT FIRST I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT AND THEN I SAW THE RECENT NTSB ISSUES FOR THIS. I ALSO CHECK ALL OF MY OTHER CARS. THOSE CARS DO NOT HAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE FLOOR BOARD AND THE SIDE OF THE CONSEL. I HAVE NOT GOT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THE CONDITION EXISTS ON CURRENT MODELS. THE MODEL YEAR MIGHT NOT BE CORRECT I WAS JUST TRYING TO REMEMBER IS THIS WAS A 14 OR 15. THE VIN I GOT FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY SO IT HAS TO BE WHAT EVER COMES FROM THERE. *TR

STEP DAUGHTER STATED BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ENGAGING THE BRAKES CAUSING HER TO CRASH INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STOPPED ACTIVATING WHEN THERE WAS AN ADULT IN THE SEAT. THE LIGHT DISPLAYS SHOWING IT'S DISABLED AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY FLASHING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONTROL PANEL. NOT SURE IF TIMING WAS COINCIDENCE OR NOT, BUT THIS STARTED HAPPENING IMMEDIATELY AFTER I PLACED A 12-PACK OF SODA ON THE SEAT FOR A FEW BLOCK DRIVE HOME FROM THE STORE. IT DISABLED THE AIR BAG WHILE THE 12-PACK WAS ON THE SEAT, AND THEN IT NEVER RE-ENGAGED FOR AN ADULT IN THE SEAT. REPAIR APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED WITH THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
