2012 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

MY AIRBAG SIGNAL IS ALWAYS FLASHING. WHEN I WENT TO NISSAN DEALER THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BY RESETTING, SO THEY THOUGHT IT'S A CONNECTION PROBLEM. BUT IT STARTED FLASHING SOON AFTER THEY RESETED, SO I SUSPECT IT'S NOT A CONNECTION PROBLEM. BESIDES, MY FRIEND ALSO HAS A NISSAN VERSA 2012 WITH AIRBAG SIGNAL FLASHING, BUT SHE HASN'T GONE TO DEALER BECAUSE IT'S EXPANSIVE TO REPLACE AN AIRBAG. WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU SOON. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THERE WAS A DELAY IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR BACK PAINS AND WHIPLASH, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V507000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

MY SON WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 65 NEAR WHITE HOUSE, TENNESSEE (AT NIGHT), AND THE RPM GAUGE PEGGED OUT; BUT HE COULD NOT MAINTAIN SPEED. HE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COULD GO NO MORE THAN 3 OR 4 MILES AN HOUR AND THE CAR WAS MAKING NOISES. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD US THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 72,000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000. THEY SAID SOME KIND OF SENSOR FAILED. THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR SINCE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT SEEMS REALLY DANGEROUS FOR A VEHICLE SENSOR TO DISABLE THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE. I FEEL LIKE NISSAN SHOULD HAVE FIXED THIS PROBLEM FOR US EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED WITH 63700 MILES. THIS CAR IS DANGERIOUS NISSAN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING HAS CAR TOWED TO THEM AND CALLED NISSAN CORPERATE AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING WHEN THERE CVT PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORECTED AND STILL FAILING ON THE NEW CARS. CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLED OF THE ROAD I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT KILLED THESE CARS ARE DANGERIOUS !!!

VEHICLE AFTER A PERIOD WOULD NOT MOVE! I PURCHASED A NISSAN VERSA BRAND NEW AND TOOK EXCELLENT CARE OF IT. YET, THIS CAR HAS CVT TECHNOLOGY WHICH MEANS WHEN A-N-Y PART OF THE TRANSMISSION BREAKS, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION!!! COST TO REPLACE: $4,200.00

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. PEDAL TO THE FLOOR- NO BRAKES. AFTER THE INITIAL "TO THE FLOOR", I WAS ABLE TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT OF BRAKES NOT ENGAGING- THE FIRST HAPPENED AT SIDE-STREET SPEED, AND I WROTE IT OFF AS A FLUKE. VEHICLE HAS AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP IN TWO DAYS.
