2014 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

DRIVING TO ALA. FROM GA. HAD DIFFICULT TIME SEEING OUT WINDOWS AND WINDSHIELD DUE TO CONDENSATION BUILDING UP INSIDE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, PASSENGER SIDE, AND WINDSHIELD. IT WAS RAINING & DIFF IN TEMP., HAD TO STOP SEVERAL TIMES AND WIPE OFF WITH CLOTH TOWELS. WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO GET RADIO REPLACED AND SHOWED THEM THE TRUNK WAS WET (CARPET SHOWED RINGS) AND THE RIGHT DRIVERS DOOR HAD BIG GAP BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND DOOR FRAME AREA - IT IS SEPARATING FROM THE FRAME ON BOTH SIDES. THE FRONT DOORS ON BOTH SIDES ARE BELOW THE BACK DOORS AND THE GAPS ARE INCREASING WHENEVER I DRIVE THE CAR. INSIDE THE WINDSHIELD SEAL PLASTIC HAS STARTED TO PEEL OFF TWICE. THE WIPER BLADES HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES BECAUSE THEY JUST START TO TEAR IN SMALL AREAS. ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT AND SEEN BY THE SERVICE DEPT. EVEN WHEN THE MOISTURE COLLECTS INSIDE DURING A RAIN SHOWER (DEFROSTER WON'T PREVENT THIS) . THEY HAVE REFUSED TO FIX THE LEAK IN THE TRUNK OR THE DOORS. I AM SCARED THAT ONE OF THE DOORS WILL FALL OFF. THE GAP HAS INCREASED IN 6 WEEKS YOU CAN STAND 2 FT. AWAY AND SEE THE SCREWS. I CAN HARDLY LOCK THE CAR (MANUALLY). NO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WILL FIX IT WITHIN 120 MILES. I DO NOT KNOW WHY. THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THIS AND IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO, THERE IS A AWFUL SMELL WHEN I START IT WITHIN THE SYSTEM, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS ME NOT THE CAR. *TR

THE CAR ON COLD DAYS AND SOME NOT COLD DAYS, AND COULD JUST HAD SAT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, WOULD FEEL/HEAR CRUNCHING SOUND (LIKE METAL BARS BEGINNING TO DISLODGE OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE) UNDER THE FLOOR BOARD AFTER ACCELERATION AND CAR STARTS TO MOVE. THIS IS ONLY ON DRIVER SIDE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND REPORTED THIS TO HAVE IT LOOKED AFTER. TO NO AVAIL, THE CRUNCHING PROBLEM IS YET TO BE DISCOVERED BY A SERVICE MAN. THEY HAVE YET TO FIND THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR CHECK-UP AND DOCUMENTED MANY AND EVERY TIME I HAVE OIL CHANGES AS WELL. I HAVE BEEN REPORTING THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE 12/2013 AND NOW HERE IT IS MARCH 2015 THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED ABRUPTLY TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

THERE IS A COOLANT SMELL COMING FROM THE ENGINE, NO NOTICEABLE SIGNS OF A LEAK . THE MAIN COOLANT TANK WAS FULL BUT THE OVERFLOW WAS EMPTY. DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMMON SMELL WITH NO FURTHER EXPLANATION. AFTER FILLING THE OVERFLOW, THE SMELL STILL PERSISTS. THE OVERFLOW LOSES ABOUT HALF A CUP PER MONTH. NO OVERHEAT OR COOLING PROBLEMS NOTICED. *JS

WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT A STAND STILL AND WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED, PUSHING MY DAUGHTERS CAR INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER. HER CAR HAS BEEN CLAIMED AS A TOTAL LOSS. SHE STRUCK HER FACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL RESULTING IN A BLACK EYE AND CLOSED HEAD INJURY. HER AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED ANYWHERE IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

VEHICLE MOVES ABRUPTLY LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN THERE ARE NO GROOVES OR WIND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY SAFELY. NISSAN TEST DROVE VEHICLE. ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT'S JUST HOW THE VEHICLE IS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX IT. *TR

THIS CAR TAKES FOREVER TO WARM UP IN WINTER. I DON'T LET IT SIT AND IDLE, I DRIVE SLOWLY FOR A WHILE. IT TAKES ME 20 MINUTES TO GET TO WORK AND JUST STARTING TO WARM UP THEN. IS THIS BECAUSE IT HAS TWO THERMOSTATS AND AN OIL COOLER? ITS AN ANNOYANCE. I EVEN LEAVE HEATER OFF TILL TEMP GAUGE HAS 6 BARS AND THAT ONLY MINIMALLY SOLVES THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING OUT A COUNTRY ROAD, I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL. WHEN I MADE AN ATTEMPT TO STOP, I HAD NO BRAKES WHAT SO EVER. I COULD SEE THAT THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC COMING FROM EITHER DIRECTION SO I MADE AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE TURN ON TO THE ROADWAY BUT HAD NO STEERING EITHER. WITH NO WAY TO CONTROL THE CAR I ENDED UP GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN, ACROSS THE ROAD, THROUGH A TREE STUMP AND INTO THE SIDE OF AN ABANDONED HOUSE. WITH THE IMPACT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT COME OUT EVEN WITH AN IMPACT GREAT ENOUGH TO CAUSE SUSPENSION DAMAGE ALONG WITH OTHER MAJOR BODY AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WITH THIS VEHICLE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT COME OUT, THE FIRST IS WHEN MY HUSBAND HIT A DEER HEAD ON AT 55MPH AND AIR BAG SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THEM BEING TRIGGERED. ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE, I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE MAKING A LOW SPEED TURN BUT CAR QUICKLY RECOVERED. THE DASH AND RADIO HAS FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES ON AND OFF AND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT HAS NO POWER AND SHUTTERS BEFORE FINALLY PICKING UP SPEED. THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND WOULD SEND US ON OUR WAY AND WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE NON AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT THEY JUST STATED THAT SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS, WELL NOW IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE BEEN UNSATISFIED EVER SINCE. THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION IS LOUD AND SEEMS TO LAG WHEN I'M ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS, IT'S LOUD. I ALSO SMELL COOLANT ON A REGULAR BASIS AND THE CAR SHIFTER MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN REVERSING WHETHER I'M ON A FLAT SURFACE OR IN THE DRIVE WAY. THIS IS NOT CHARACTERISTIC OF A "BRAND NEW" VEHICLE AND IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5.
