2014 NISSAN VERSA NOTE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND AS I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE LEFT TURN LANE, THE ENGINE CUT OFF COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO ASK A GROUP OF PEOPLE TO HELP PUSH MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO START AGAIN. I WAS NERVOUS TO DRIVE ON THE EXPRESSWAY TO GET HOME AS THIS COULD POSE AS A SERIOUS THREAT TO SAFETY.

THE AIR BAD DID NOT DEPLOYED IN TIME THERE WAS FEW SECOND DELAY WHICH CAUSED MY DAUGHTER TO HIT HER HEAD ON STEERING WHEEL AND THEN WENT OFF. ALSO THE BREAKS SHE HAD DELAYED TIMING TO HIT THE BREAK LIKE HER FOOT WAS STUCK OR SOMETHING WHICH DELAYED STOPPING.

SPONTANEOUS CRACK IN WINDSHIELD FROM BOTTOM EDGE ON PASSENGER SIDE. CAR WAS SITTING, NOT RUNNING. I WAS IN THE CAR DOING WORK RELATED PAPERWORK WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I HEARD A NOISE, LOOKED UP AND SAW A CRACK APPEAR AND SPREAD UPWARD.

SUBJECT: PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ACTIVATION SENSOR COMMENTS: I HAVE A NISSAN VERSA NOTE 2014. WHEN MY WIFE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (SHE WEIGHTS 104 LBS) THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON, INDICATION THAT THE AIR BAG IS NOT ACTIVATED. THE DEALER SAYS THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED THAT WAY TO PROTECT CHILDREN, AND THAT THE WEIGHT SENSOR FOR THE LIGHT IS SET AT ABOUT 150 LBS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL STANDARDS. CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE TRUE?? I MAINTAIN THAT THIS IS A PRODUCT DESIGN DEFECT IF THE SAFETY OF A SMALL (CIRCA 100 LBS) ADULT IS NOT PROTECTED.

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND ENGINE CUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE. PUT CAR IN PARK, AND TRY TO RESTART BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING TRAFFIC. MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. I LET CAR SIT FOR 30 MINUTES AND CAR FINALLY RESTARTED. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP ON 7/6/15 AND THEY ADJUSTED THE IDLE BUT COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. ON 8/8/15, I WAS LEAVING A STORE AND STARTED TO YIELD TO TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR ON 8/11/15 TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE ECM, BUT DID NOT SAY THAT WOULD PERMANENTLY FIX THE ISSUE. I'M AN EXTREMELY CONCERNED CONSUMER AS I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL POST ONLINE FROM CONSUMERS FOR THIS VERY ISSUE, AND I DON'T FEEL NISSAN HAS DONE THEIR PART TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. BEING THAT THE CAR SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WITH OUT FOREWARNING, I'M CONCERNED SHOULD THIS SHUT DOWN OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED A FATALITY COULD OCCUR.

PARKED MY CAR, AS I WAS WALKING AROUND TO THE PASSENGER SIDE HEARD A "CLICK" NOISE AND MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED. NOTHING HIT MY WINDSHIELD, IT JUST CRACKED. THE CRACK IS LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FROM THE LOWER CORNER AND GOES UP ALL THE WAY TO THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD.

I LIVE IN ARIZONA. I HAD COME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT IN SOME HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS GETTING READY TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. AT THE POINT OF MAKING THE RIGHT TURN THE CAR DIED. I COULD NOT COMPLETE THE TURN. BASICALLY I STARTED TO HEAD INTO OTHER CARS THAT WERE MAKING A LEFT TURN WHICH WAS PERPENDICULAR TO MY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANY CARS AND AT THE SAME TIME WAS LUCKY NOT TO BE HIT BY ANY CARS. THE CAR ENDED UP IN THAT LEFT TURN LANE. WHEN THE CAR STOPPED I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN WAITED A MINUTE OR TWO AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AGAIN. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WHICH WAS A 1/2 MILE AWAY. IT WAS ABOUT 105 DEGREES OUTSIDE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR THIS TYPE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE. I THINK ONE OF THE SERVICE BULLETINS MENTIONS EXACTLY WHAT I WENT THROUGH. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE ONE OR MORE PEOPLE WILL GET HURT OR DIE. I NEVER HAVE HAD ANY ISSUE REALLY OF ANY TYPE WITH THIS VEHICLE BEFORE. ALL THE MAINTENANCE WORK THAT IS NEEDED HAS BEEN DONE ON TIME. THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY. I DID NOTICE PROBABLY 30 MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING THAT THE CAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. I KEPT THINKING I DIDN'T HAVE THE CAR IN THE CORRECT GEAR BUT I DID. THE CAR DURING THAT TIME SEEMED SLUGGISH.

REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AT 30 MPH CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF VEHICLE, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

MAYBE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT HIGHLY IRRITATING. IN WINTER, NO MATTER HOW COLD, THE VEHICLE TAKES WAY TOO LONG TO HEAT UP FOR WARM CABIN AIR. I LIVE 7 MILES FROM WORK, BUT IT STILL TAKES ALMOST 20 MINUTES TO GET THERE. I AM NOT GETTING WARM ENOUGH AIR UNTIL IM ALMOST AT WORK. IT MATTERS NOT HOW LONG I LET IT IDLE. ON VERY COLD DAYS, I DONT GET DEFROSTER HEAT AND I HAVE INTERIOR FROST ALL THE TIME. AFTER READING VERSA FORUMS ONLINE, IM LED TO BELLIEVE ITS ALL BECAUSE THE CAR HAS TWO THERMOSTATS AND AN OIL COOLER. IN CONTRAST, MY WIFES NEW 3 CYLINDER MITSUBISHI MIRAGE IS WARM IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES. DEALER SAYS ITS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR. HAD I KNOWN THIS BEFORE HAND I PROBABLY WOULDNT HAVE BOUGHT IT.

AS I WAS SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT MY BRAKES BEGAN TO PULSATE. THEY DID NOT MAKE ANY STRANGE NOISES. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE PEDAL RELEASED SLIGHTLY AND I BEGAN TO ROLL SLOWLY FORWARD, SO I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKES AND STOPPED. THIS WAS A NEW CAR AT THE TIME SO I THOUGHT PERHAPS I JUST DIDN'T HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE HARD ENOUGH, ALTHOUGH I KNEW THE PULSATING WAS NOT NORMAL. EVER SINCE THIS INCIDENT THE PULSATING BRAKES AS I'M SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES RELEASING WHILE I'M AT A STOP HAPPENS OFTEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN I RUN THE AIR CONDITIONER. I NOTICE THAT WHEN I'M AT A STOP AND THE AIR CONDITIONER KICKS ON, THE BRAKES WILL OFTEN RELEASE AND I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN HARDER TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING FORWARD. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND I KNOW THE INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS ISSUES HAS BEEN CLOSED, BUT I'M TELLING YOU, SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE BRAKES IN THIS CAR.
