Car has no stability on the road, it almost feels like im in a windstorm, and in a rainstorm if I hit standing water it will throw me into the other lane. It is worse on the freeway and will push me near the other lane.

A few weeks ago while I was driving my car shut off right in the middle of the street and was unable to steer, my children were in the car. I has gas in the car, the car never overheated and there were no warning lights on the car. This happened twice already with the first time being July 15, 2017.

While driving on the freeway, my car all of a sudden stalled to the point where I could not steer, press on the gas or the brake. I had to turn my car completely off and back on in the middle of the freeway in order for the car to work again. This happened three times in a span of a mile before I was finally able to get over to the shoulder of the freeway. I felt unsafe in my vehicle due to the fact that I was on the freeway in traffic and could not move my own car.

Acceration of the car hesitates ; car jerks and have cut off while driving. Put higher octane of gas in car and still having same problem.

2010 Nissan Versa 1,8 hatchback, recall spring issue replaced , and the 7 years old struts are the same now the springs and struts aren't working together this is starting to lead to suspension issue that weren't there before the replacement of the springs the car does not have 30,000 miles yet.

The car suddenly stopped while I was driving. I had no control of brakes or steering. It coasted to a stop. I contacted ktnv channel 13 investigative news and they filmed me and my story. The episode aired last night and today. I have two 2012 Versa's; the other one did not do this. They are my twins cars; I try to drive one every two weeks to make sure everything is ok. The vehicle was definitely in motion when this happened; had just exited the interstate.

The car's power steering stopped functioning, a ps indication on the dash was illuminated. The vehicle was very difficult to drive in this condition. This is the second time this has occurred.

Front coil spring shattered tearing up front tire this exact problem was noted for Versa in recall 15v573000 date 09/14/2015. My car was not included in the recall. It appears that the recall was to limited. After getting car repaired Nissan has refused to pay for my repair costs stating the car was not included in recall. Luckily I pulling out of my driveway when the spring exploded. I think the recall was to limited and I should be reimbursed to my expenses.

Too bouncy when driving and squeeking sound when driving slow on curves un even that occurs before I got the Nissan Versa 2012.

Everything time I stop and park the car to do a short errand and then after getting back in the car, I put the key in the ignition and it won't turn. I have to wiggled the key in the steering wheel for at least five (5) minutes or more. It is happening more frequent and often. I am very concerned.

I have a 2016 Nissan Versa with approx 12,000 miles and have constant issues with the steering of this vehicle. The car veers off and has a mind of its own frequently and feels as if it is being pulled by wind. This is unsafe and causes controlling the car to be a problem. This began at first in early 2017 and is now a regular occurance.

When driving the car at speeds 40mph and above, the car does not stay in the lane. This car is continuously pulling to the left out of the lane towards cars in the middle lane, with no control to correct, then pushed to the right out of lane, back and forth my whole ride with no subsiding. The issue at times escalates by getting out of control while driving straight on any road, going back and forth left to right very fast and short by itself with the steering wheel centered. For this issue I'm needing to wait for the correction and slow down the car. The front tires are continuously getting thrown out of alignment as soon as I drive it following servicing. I have had 4 service appointments for alignments and balancing within a 2 week time frame, replaced tires, and brought to Nissan directly for a diagnosis with no change to this safety issue. I do not believe the alignment is the root cause of this safety problem. In addition, when a car or any vehicle drives by my car on any road, more severe on the highway, my car is pushed across my lane and there is no windy conditions. This does occur on the highway and local streets. It is also apparently visible to other drivers as I see cars from behind me move to the middle lane, speed up and pass me in the far left of their lane, then cut me off. I do not believe again that this is a wheel issue, and I do not know what is the root cause of this is however what I do know is that it is not safe for myself or others on the road. I have an opened complaint with Nissan consumer affairs and so far their response has been, go back to Nissan for another alignment, to which I have had several already with no change to the root problem.

When I turned on my airbag sensor light lit up and would not go out I brought the car to the dealer and the dealer told me the airbag had to be replaced dealer charge me $894 to install the airbag.

On September 8, 2016, I was driving and all of a sudden the car's steering violently pulled to the right and when I tried to correct it, the car then turned all of the way to the left, causing the car to roll over several times. Although I had my seat belt on, the pre-tensioners didn't fire to keep me from moving around and hitting my head. None of the airbags went off either, not even the ones on the driver's side curtain where the car was damaged. Afterwards, I went to the doctor and a chiropractor because I hurt my back, neck and my head. I also got a lawyer because I had not done anything wrong while driving. The steering problem just came out of nowhere. Nissan, takata, tkh and my lawyer inspected the car in March and found that none of the air bags went off, the seat belt pre-tensioners didn't activate, the car's vehicle speed sensor had a fault code, the car's intake air temperature sensor had a fault code and Nissan's engineer that was there was unable to access the power steering module with his machine. Next, we found out that the electronic power steering system can shut down due to excessive steering at slow speeds. That is bad because Nissan had a technical service bulletin that said that the car can pull to one side even when aligned based on Nissan's requirements. This means that the reason people have had steering problems is because of the car's design, Nissan's alignment requirements and the car needing to be aligned differently. Also the intake air temperature sensor can cause a car to surge and sputter, this can be why people have had problems with acceleration. There is no reason why the seat belt pretensioners didn't protect me. I also believe that the speedometer recall may be due to the vehicle speed sensor problem. My car was totaled and these things need to be investigated.

I recently purchased a 2016 Nissan Versa and when I drive it, it veers to the left which is a matter of safety for my family. . Took it in to service dept and they did an alignment but it is still happening. . . I am re-thinking my decision about this car because I refused to drive a unsafe vehicle.

Car making noises when turning. Strut bearings replaced. Recall serviced on front coil springs. Car is at 87800 miles but at 87300 engine started making knocking/pinging/clicking/ticking noises. Took to Nissan. Mechanic said Nissan engineers say this is normal for their 4 cylinder motors. Said he couldn't locate source of sound but possibly cylinder 2 or 3. He told me until check engine light comes on or until engine fails don't worry about me to keep oil changed every 3700 miles and run engine restore products in with oil changes. I tried this the next day, and noise became worse. The car has never been run low on oil, has been serviced like it was supposed to be, never smokes or burns oil, oil always looks clean at oil changes. Since the noise started, there is decreased fuel mileage. Other than that, the sound and it's tune so to speak, have been the only changes as far the engine goes. The suspension/steering still isn't right. After bearings replaced, some noise went away while turning, but now turning either way, when first taking off, vehicle makes weird clunking noises. I'm wondering if it has bad struts?.

Nhtsa recall 16v-349.

My wife was making right hand turn, entering a highway, she lost total control of the steering. The vehicle veered to the left then veered to the right. She was able to stop the vehicle without incident and parked on the shoulder. Had car towed to garage, mechanic inspected suspension and steering, and was unable to find a problem. H stated he went on line and discovered some steering issues. However, he stated, because it has an electronic power steering system, resetting the system by turning off the engine and restarting the vehicle should solve the immediate problem (as it was stated on the forum). This is ridiculous when you are going 60 mph and going back and forth across the road. I went to the local Nissan dealership and he stated he knew nothing about this issue.

Salesman/dealer did not disclose vehicle maintenance report when requested. Was told that the vehicle was not involved in any accidents. 1) vehicle rolls back after it is put in park.

Gov and was told that there were 4 recalls on the vehicle in which 2 had already been performed. Called Nissan dealer and scheduled an appointment for service for 12/31 to rectify those issues.
