I RENTED A 2012 VERSA HATCHBACK THIS WEEK. UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE I DISCOVERED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS WERE NOT WORKING. I REPORTED THIS TO THE RENTAL AGENCY AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS MODEL DOES NOT HAVE INDICATORS. I DROVE THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND FOUND THAT IT HAD NO TURN OR HIGH BEAM INDICATORS. THESE ARE BASIC SAFETY DEVICES TO INFORM THE DRIVER OF THE THESE FUNCTIONS. THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON US ROADWAYS. ACCORDING TO WHAT I READ IN A DOCUMENT PUBLISHED BY THE U. S. DOT THESE ARE REQUIRED, SO I WONDER HOW THESE VEHICLES ARE ALLOWED IN THE U.S. THE DOCUMENT IS PUBLICATION NUMBER TP-108-13. PLEASE ADVISE ABOUT THIS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE ON WINDSOR AVE. I WAS DRIVING SOUTH AND A TRUCK WAS IN THE LEFT LANE. THE TRUCK CAME OVER ON MY LANE. I TRIED MOVING OVER A LITTLE TO STAY AWAY FROM THE TRUCK, WHEN I DID I JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT A CAUTION SIGN WHICH MADE THE CAR GO UP IN THE AIR. AND WHEN IT CAME DOWN MY FOOT HIT THE GAS PEDAL. AS GOING UP IN THE AIR I HIT MY HEAD, THANK GOD I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON. WHILE TRYING TO CONTROL MY CAR I WENT THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL FENCE, AND THEN HIT A HOUSE AND BROKE THEIR OIL FILL TUBE WHICH CAUSED THE OIL TANK TO LEAK. I ALSO CRACKED THE FOUNDATION OF THE HOUSE. WHEN MY CAR HIT THE HOUSE I WAS IN SUCH SHOCK I HAD BLOOD ON MY HEAD, AND HAD NECK PAIN. THE NEXT FEW DAYS I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT BUT BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT MY MEDICATION PUMP HOSE WAS KINKED, AND IT CAUSED THE PUMP TO SHUT DOWN.WHICH I HAD TO HAVE SURGERY ON SO THEY COULD REPLACE THE PUMP WITH A NEW ONE. I ALSO HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY ON MY NECK. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF THE AIR BAGS HAD BEEN DEPLOYED. THERE NEVER WAS A WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THESE AIR BAGS. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND HOPE TO HEAR FORM YOU SOON. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL NOR DID THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT ENGAGE. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON MY USUAL WAY TO WORK. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THROUGH A T INTERSECTION AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, MY CAR WAS STRUCK BY A SECOND CAR THAT RAN THE RED LIGHT. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 20 TO 25 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE BUT NOT MUCH ELSE. THE SECOND CAR IMPACTED THE LEFT SIDE FRONT WHEEL WELL AREA WHICH RESULTED IN INJURIES TO MYSELF AND FRONT PASSENGER. AS STATED IN THE POLICE REPORT, IT HAPPENED AROUND 3:00 PM WITH CLEAR WEATHER AND A DRY ROAD SURFACE. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEAR THE END OF MAY OF 2012. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH HE ATTEMPTED TO AVOID A VEHICLE WHO HAD CROSSED THE DOUBLE LINES ON THE ROAD. THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WENT OFF THE ROAD CAUSING THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND AS A RESULT, HE CRASHED INTO A SIGN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO AIRBORNE. THE CONTACTS HEAD HIT THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE SCRAPING THE SKIN OFF THE TOP OF HIS HEAD. THE VEHICLE THEN CRASHED INTO A LARGE DIRT PILE AND A VINYL FENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DEALER WAS OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE BUT DID NOT DO SO. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND MAILED THE CONTACT A BROCHURE ON AIR BAGS BUT OFFERED NO OTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,261..UPDATED 12/05/12 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HIT THE FOUNDATION OF A HOUSE. THE CONSUMER'S BODY SLAMMED AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL.

THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO EXPERIENCE HIGH FREQUENCY GAS PEDAL VIBRATION THAT IS FELT ONLY BETWEEN 2500 - 3000 RPM AT ANY SPEED AS LONG AS IN THIS RPM RANGE THE VIBRATION CAN BE ALSO FELT IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES IN THE SAME RPM RANGE SINCE THERE IS ONE BRACKET FOR ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE. NO VIBRATION DURING BRAKE APPLICATION. THE DEALER TESTED THE CAR AND STATED THAT ANOTHER NEW 2012 VERSA HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND WILL NOT CONTINUE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A WASTE OF TIME. THE PROBLEM CAUSES UNCOMFORTABLE PULSATION THAT RESULTS LOOSING FEELING IN MY FOOT AT THAT ENGINE SPEED. I HAD BEEN AN ASE CERTIFIED MASTER TECHNICIAN AND I NEVER EXPERIENCE VIBRATION IN THE GAS PEDAL AS AN SYMPTOM IN ANY OF MY COMPLAINTS. AFTER LOOKING AT THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL BRACKET IT SEEMS THE BRACKET CAN FLEX TO ANY SIDES WITH LITTLE EFFORT BUT WILL STAY STABLE IN DIRECTION OF THE PEDALS TRAVEL. THE BRACKET DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DAMAGE JUST POOR DESIGN TO HOLD RIGIDITY TO SIDE MOTION. I AM NOT SURE IF THE BRACKET IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM OR OTHER SOURCE IS TRANSMITTING VIBRATION. HOWEVER, I THINK THERE SHOULD BE NO SIDE MOTION SINCE THE ASSEMBLY CAN FAIL DUE TO MATERIAL FATIGUE OVER TIME. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS HAD BEEN CHECKED BY MYSELF AND THE DEALER. *TR
