Electrical System problem #1

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Versa. The contact stated upon inspecting the vehicle, she noticed water intrusion in the tail lights and headlights. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the electrical system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 71,000.

Electrical System problem #2

The gear shift selector is stuck in park. Being forced to use the manual override in order to drive, reverse or place car in neutral every time the car is being used. This is ridiculous!.

Electrical System problem #3

My car had a problem from day one I bought. The tires always showing not working and car has absolutely no power if you going on hill. From last year car having really serious problems with transmission and shuffling. I took car to Nissan car dealership and the are reprogrammed transmission. Unfortunately after a few weeks the same problem and even worst. Car making absolutely horrible noises and speed not going more then 15-20.

Electrical System problem #4

The undercarriage of my car seems to be falling into pieces. The car has only 57,000 miles on it. It has sat in my driveway for 7 years because I had another Nissan, my sentra, which I had for l5 years and it never had undercarriage issues. And I never had all these issues with my sentra that I am having with this Versa now that I am free to drive it since I got rid of my sentra after l5 years. The dealer says power control arms pressure forceing grees to be released. And heat shield, repair heat shield ripped off bolts and causing rattling under vehicle. I just paid a $600 bill to that same dealer for that same areas of work not that long ago. Why is my Nissan falling apart. I had a sentra I had for l5 years and never had trouble with the undercarriage like this. I cant afford these big repair bills. The milage is very low for all these things to go wrong when I never had them go wrong on the sentra for l5 years. Did ghosn steal money from Versa?.

Electrical System problem #5

I am getting water in my right tail light bulb so that it is out. I have only 57,000 miles on my car. It is 7 years old. This has no damage to the right tail light. It was just manufactured so it is a damage problem. Nobody hit the car there in that area oranything. It just developed to have water in teh light bulb. Nissan Versa is not a well designed or manufactured car. It falls apart on the buyer. I bought this car new and hardly used it for 7 years. I had another car and used that more. It sat in my driveway falling apart.

Electrical System problem #6

My air conditioning is not working. I believe wires in my care are covered with soy which is an attractant to mice and rats and causes them to climb into my car and eat the wires, causing the car to malfunction. We need to outlaw and ban the use of soy feedstuffs on car wires, this is just ridiculous for allowing this to happen, to make cars a magnet for mice and rats.

Electrical System problem #7

There is hesitation when I accelerate, it takes a little bit to get up to speed (which isn't great when you're on the free way). When I push on the break and then take my foot off the break it feels like my car is still breaking. When I'm stopped at a red light my car shakes.

Electrical System problem #8

I've spoken to Nissan complaints, and I've gotten nothing. Nissan Versas intermittently shutter when driving. This is dangerous. Nissan told me it could be the transmission, but refuse to dig into it because they claim they can't find the codes. This is crap. I'm not driving an unsafe vehicle. The transmission is a cvt. When I accelerate past 2 rpg it shutters repeatedly. There needs to be some kind of recall.

Electrical System problem #9

The transmission indicator on the display goes out frequently while in motion. When the display is out, the cvt transmission shudders, slips, and/or 'downshifts' hard. There is also a lack of power when accelerating which becomes a problem when entering traffic. The indicator will go out and then come back on intermittently while operating the vehicle.

Electrical System problem #10

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Versa. The contact stated while the was idling the vehicle felt as though it would stall and the check light illuminated. As a result of this failure the vehicle goes into safe mode and does not allow for acceleration over 40 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed the vehicle needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired however the failure had recurred 4 times. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 83,000. Kh.

Electrical System problem #11

The turn signal clicking sound is not loud enough when the auto is being operated dealer's service people can't make the clicker louder or get a part to fix this problem manufacturer's people tell us that the part is as designed we contend that the clicker not being loud enough could cause us to have an accident.
