2012 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

THE BRAKES DO NOT BRAKE CONSISTENTLY ALL THE TIME. ON THE EXACT SAME ROADS, WITH THE SAME WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME SPEEDS; WHEN PUSHING THE BRAKES WITH THE USUAL AMOUNT OF PRESSURE REQUIRED TO STOP BY A CERTAIN DISTANCE, THE BRAKES WILL SOMETIMES NOT FUNCTION AS USUAL REQUIRING YOU TO BRAKE HARD IN ORDER TO STOP IN TIME. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SO. DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE DRY AND THREADWEAR AND TIRE PRESSURE WERE BOTH FINE. WOULD DRIVE 60 MILES PER DAY, FIVE DAYS A WEEK.

THE NISSAN DEALERS SAY THAT THE CHANGE OF SPEED IN THIS CAR CANNOT BE FELT, AND SO DOES THE TV COMMERCIAL. IT ISN'T TRUE. IT IS A DANGER IN THE STREETS. EVERYTIME I GO TO THE EXPRESSWAY I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ISN'T A CAR ANY CLOSE TO BE ABLE TO ENTER BECAUSE WHEN YOU TRY TO SPEED A BIT, IT RESTRAIN ITSELF AND I ALREADY GOT SCARED WITH THIS EXPERIENCE. EVEN WHEN YOU ARE IN THE CITY AND YOU TRY TO SPEED A BIT TO CHANGE LANE, YOU CAN FEEL THAT IN MOST OF THE CASES IT WON'T LET YOU DO IT INMEDIATELY. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS CAR HAVE BEEN APPROVED WITH 5 STARS BY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AS THE DEALERS SAY. BESIDES, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT WON'T GO ALL THE WAY, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT AFTER FEW BLOCKS DRIVING, IT LOOSE A BIT MORE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER, BUT I CANNOT PUT THIS DANGER IN HER HANDS. I HOPE I GET ADVISORS THAT HELP ME TO GET MY MONEY BACK OR TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THIS CAR AND NOT LOOSING 5000 AS THE NISSAN PROPOSED ME. UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT AFFORD IT ANYMORE. *TR
