There is a shutter leaving 1st gear.

I own a 2016 Nissan Versa, and the air conditioning system has completely failed due to what I’ve been told is an evaporator core issue. After researching, I’ve found that this is a very common problem among Versa owners across multiple model years. The failure causes extreme heat in the cabin, especially in summer months, and creates a serious distraction and discomfort while driving. It becomes physically exhausting and mentally draining, even leading to dizziness or loss of focus — which I believe is a potential safety hazard. Nissan has not issued a recall or acknowledged the issue, despite the large number of owners reporting the same problem. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this as a potential pattern of manufacturer defect. The heat exposure is more than an inconvenience — it’s a daily health and safety risk. Please look into this!!!!!.

I own a 2016 Nissan Versa, and the air conditioning system has completely failed, making the car almost unbearable to drive in the florida heat. I have already spent over $1,000 trying to fix the issue — including replacing multiple a/c components — and the air still doesn’t work. A mechanic told me the evaporator core needs to be replaced, but that repair alone is too expensive for me right now. Driving this car in extreme heat has made me physically miserable and mentally drained. I sweat constantly, feel dizzy, and can’t think straight while on the road. I’ve even started losing things and forgetting where I put things because I’m so overheated and foggy. I have to dress half-naked just to survive the drive, and it’s humiliating. I’ve noticed that many other Nissan Versa owners report the same a/c failure, especially in similar model years, which tells me this is not just my car — it’s a pattern. I believe this is a manufacturer defect that Nissan is ignoring, and I respectfully ask that the NHTSA investigate this issue. The heat exposure is more than an inconvenience — it’s a daily health and safety risk.

My vehicle stops running whenever I turn on heater or a/c. When either is turned on, dashboard lights up with four or five other lights like battery, p/s, brake, temp, and other. When a/c or heater is not turned on, then my car is running. It looks like my vehicle may be defective in some way. I bought it only last year and I don’t understand why this particular control for heater or a/c is causing the problems. I believe some parts may be sub-standard and they may will cause some problems one day.

Vehicle shuts off completely while in motion regardless of speed. I've had it shut off while driving 15mph on the street as well as when I've been going 60+mph on the highway. Based off of other findings and lawsuits, I've began to suspect it is the transmission. I've taken it to the Nissan dealership each time it has happened, and they've never been able to give me an answer. I've gotten my warranty extended by them, but that's it.

So I'm problems with speed and the transmission.

On approximated on February 02, 2020 on the north bound 215 fwy existing fwy off ramp on newport blvd in menifee CA, when my 2016 Nissan Versa stall, it's on drive and not moving. No warning signs of any mechanical issues, no engine light on. I turned off the engine and restarted then I was able to drive but the rpm is moving up and down. I pulled over to the nearest gas station and called my roadside assistant through geico. The next day I drove the vehicle to pedder Nissan dealership for a diagnostic of the vehicle. The service dept return my call and notified me that my transmission is out on a less than four years old vehicles that I purchased brand new from this dealership. The dealership & Nissan consumer affair have both have given me the runs around. I see there bulletin for my vehicle model and year. I need assistance, please.

The car shut off completely while I was at a red light and I had to restart it.

I pulled in to a parking spot I was in park. Next to a 4x4 diesel pickup, he started to back up and turned his wheels to were he was going to run me over I held the horn down he did not hear it and ran me over from the front drivers side to the back door. He stopped when he realized he was on top of my car.

The front driver side continental contiprocontact p185/65 r15 tire exploded while parked. The vehicle had been parked for an hour and a half, and had only been driven less than ten miles prior to the explosion. The outside temperature was 65 degrees fahrenheit and it was raining, so heat was not a factor. The tire dot # is p5fp3yp2715. The tires themselves are three years old and have 54,710 miles on them.

Brake issues reported not a good vehicle to have repaired several time- bought brand new - still suffering from multiple visits to dealership and company.

Driving on a two lane road heard a pop, car sudden pull right front end hitting a ditch on the side of road front end sliding down in the ditch coming to a stop in a vertical position. The air bag didn't deploy.
