2014 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

CRACK ACROSS WINDSHIELD FROM PASSENGER LOWER SIDE ACROSS TOWARDS REAR VIEW MIRROR. OVER TIME CRACK HAS SPREAD IN A CURVE UP AND DOWN. REPORTED THE CRACK AND WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN UNAVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT DUE TO A HOLD BY NISSAN. NO APPARENT REASON, OTHER THAN COLD TEMP. *TR

THIS WAS JUST A RENTAL VEHICLE, BUT THIS PROBLEM WAS SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT I FEEL IT NECESSARY TO REPORT. THERE IS A RECESSED WELL ABOVE THE ACCELERATOR THAT TRAPS YOUR FOOT. SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, I WOULD ATTEMPT TO PIVOT MY FOOT ON ITS HEEL OFF THE ACCELERATOR OVER TO THE BRAKE, ONLY TO FIND MY FOOT TRAPPED IN THE RECESSED SPACE ABOVE THE ACCELERATOR. I WOULD THEN HAVE TO RELAX MY FOOT AND PULL IT BACK IN ORDER TO RELEASE MY FOOT AND MOVE OVER TO THE BRAKE. THIS DELAYED BRAKING TIME SEVERAL TIMES UNLESS I WAS CONSCIOUSLY PAYING ATTENTION TO AVOID GETTING MY FOOT TRAPPED. I WEAR A SIZE 12.5 SHOE, BUT THAT'S NOT INORDINATELY LARGE. *TR

WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE SKIPS AS IF ITS GOING TO CUTOFF. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT IT SHUTS DOWN. THIS BEGAN ON MON., 24 FEB 2014 IT CONTINUES TODAY WED., 26 FEB 2014. THE VEHICLE HAD A FULL TANK TO 1/2 TANK OF GAS WHEN THIS BEGAN. I DRIVE 51 MILES TO WORK ONEWAY AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THERE'S TRAFFIC. *TR

THE CAR IS SLOW TO HEAT UP AND AFTER DRIVING ABOUT SIX TO FIFTEEN MILES THE TEMPERATURE DROPS TO A VERY LOW LEVEL. SOMETIME THE TEMPERATURE IS SO LOW THAT IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THE DASH GAUGE. THIS CONDITION IS MOST PREVALENT WHEN THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE IS LOW. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

PULLING AWAY FROM A TOLL BOOTH ON I-80, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TOWED TO DEALER AT OWNER'S EXPENSE, PULLED TRAN CODES P0500, P1574, P1715, P1720 AND P0720. ONLY HAD CAR FOR 5 DAYS. AFTER 17 DAYS AT DEALER, REPLACED 2 SENSORS, 31935-1XF00 SENSOR ASMY-REV (N/C) 1 31935-1XF01 SENSOR ASMY-REV AT RECOMMENDATION OF NISSAN TECH LINE. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM PRIOR TO REPAIR. THIS WAS A LIFE THREATENING OCCURRENCE, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I FOUND THAT THE CAR WOULD MOVE SIDEWAYS 1 AND A HALF FEET ON A NON WINDY DAY. WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND YOU ARE ON CONCRETE THE CAR TRACKS 1.5 FEET SIDEWAYS RIGHT OR LEFT. WHEN DRIVING ON A DAY WHEN THE WIND IS 30MPH YOU GET 3 TO 4 FEET DRIFT RIGHT OR LEFT. TAKING THE CAR TO NISSAN FOR REPAIR THEY FOUND THAT YES IT DID DRIFT AND BLAMED IT ON THE ROAD AND THAT NISSAN HAD ON FIX. I DO HAVE 2 OTHER CARS WHICH HAVE THE SAME SIZE TIRES THAT DO NOT DO THE CHANGE LANE ACTION THAT IS WITH THIS CAR IS DOING. OTHER PEOPLE SAID THEY NOTICED IT TO. THERE WILL BE A TIME WHEN THE CAR NEXT TO YOU WILL GET DAMAGED DUE TO THIS ACTION .I `CALLED NISSAN HEADQUARTER THEY HAD NO FIX.AND SAID IT MIGHT BE THE TIRES. NISSAN PUT THE TIRES ON THE CAR. *TR

WENT OUT TO START CAR PUSH IN CLUTCH AND CAR ROLLED OUT INTO STREET HAD BRAKE ON BUT DID NOT HOLD AND AFTER STARTING MOTOR THE BRAKES WORKED OK WITH ENGINE RUNNING.. EVERYTIME I START THE CAR IF YOU ARE ON A SLOPE THE CAR WILL ROLL AND HIT SOMETHING. I CHECKED THREW OUT THE DAY AND FOUND THAT WHEN CAR IS NOT RUNNING YOU HAVE NO BRAKES. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY POWER BRAKES WHEN ENGINE STOPS THEY BECOME HARD IMMEDIATELY LOSE POWER ASSIST NOT LIKE OTHER CARS WHERE YOU HAVE 2 OR 3 APPLICATIONS BEFORE BRAKE LOSS. IF PUT IN A EMERGENCY AND ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING YOUR BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK AND YOU WILL HIT SOMETHING CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION AND GOOD BYE. I CALLED NISSAN HEADQUARTER AND THEY SAID THEIR TECH'S SAID IT IS OK AND NORMAL. *TR

WE RECENTLY (2 NOV) PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN VERSA WITH THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION ,OUR PROBLEM IS WITH DOWN SHIFTING FROM 5TH TO 4TH . WHEN SHIFTING FROM 5TH TO 4TH THE SHIFTER WILL RANDOMLY LOCK UP AND YOU HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PHYSICAL MOVE THE SHIFTER IN EVERY DIRECTION TILL YOU CAN SHIFT AGAIN OR IF YOU?RE LUCKY AS YOU?RE COASTING AND FIGHTING WITH THE SHIFTER IT POPS LOOSE AND YOU CAN SHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR. IT SEEMS LIKE THE SHIFT LINKAGE LOCKS UP AND THE CAR WON?T GO FULLY INTO 4TH. MY WIFE HAS TAKEN OFF WORK TWICE AND ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED AT OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER (LEGLUE NISSAN, ALEXANDRIA, LA). BOTH TIMES SHE HAS BEEN SHE TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AFTER A SHORT TEST DRIVE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR, ALL THE 2014 VERSAS SHIFT LIKE THAT. WE HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND RECEIVED A SIMILAR ANSWER BASICALLY THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE VERSA HAS A HARD DOWNSHIFT FROM 5TH TO 4TH BUT THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE. ALSO, LET ME AT THIS TIME ALLEVIATE ANY CONCERN ABOUT US BEING UNFAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION OF A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE. WE PRESENTLY OWN FOUR PASSENGER VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS, ONE BEING A 2009 VERSA WITH THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION WHICH HAS NEVER GIVEN US A PROBLEM AND SEVERAL PIECES OF FARM MACHINERY AND BETWEEN BOTH OF US HAVE OVER 70 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE OPERATING THEM. *TR
