1 Warnings problem of the 2020 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 10/18/2024

I’ve read other other complaints about this make/ model car and my car does all of those things. First the acceleration at rand times my car will not accelerate whether it be pulling out of a parking space, sitting at a red light, making a turn etc. Have took to a mechanic because this issue and my check engine light was on due to the mass air flow sensor or filter got that fixed and car still does the same thing. Second when playing music through bluetooth the radio just randomly restarts after playing approx 3 songs. Next the forward and back collision , abs system lights make an appearance on the dash whenever they feel like it. The emergency breaking system forward and back breaks for me when nothing is behind my car or I’m a great deal behind another car. The car now cuts off while driving. My passenger side door does not lock when pressed on the key fob with all of the other doors. The remote start does not work at all. The trunk does not open when pressed on the key fob either. The lighter port does not have any power. I did buy this car used for being 5 years old and having 71,000 miles I thought that I was getting a somewhat decent deal but that is not the case, I do not feel safe in this car nor do I get to enjoy any of the features of “having a newer car”.

2 Warnings problem of the 2022 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 09/11/2024

The issue that I am experiencing has been intermittent, however it seems to be a safety concern that Nissan is not taking seriously. As I am driving at any speed with no cars around me the car collision icon will come on and flash as well as the front portion of the car in the advanced driver assistant system will flash yellow. This has happened on more than one occasion, but will always go away eventually. I believe that my safety is at risk because what if I was driving with my cruise control on and this occurred, would it slam on my brakes causing an accident? it has not been duplicated by the dealership that I have taken my car to however I have been able to record it several times when it occurred. There are no other warning lights that come up when this occurs, however I have codes that show that some of my radar sensors are not functioning properly. Nissan has not done anything about this issue and has dismissed it as a common problem with the vehicle when it clearly is a safety issue.

3 Warnings problem of the 2023 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 01/31/2024

Multiple incidents where car has failed to accelerate properly. When it happened this morning, I was in the vicinity of the dealership. Foreman mechanic road-tested vehicle with me, and back at Nissan my car put out the engine code p2615-00 camshaft posi signal b1. . . I was told this is a known concern on manual transmission Versa vehicles that is "being looked into by engineering. " on a previous visit to the dealership about this problem, I was told that the acceleration problem could have been caused by bugs covering the front crash sensor! anyway, on a couple occasions, when merging into traffic, this problem was dangerous. . I've resorted to my emergency blinkers a couple times. . . . Then, upon being able to pull over, I shut off the car, and when I re-start the vehicle it runs like a champ again.

5 Warnings problem of the 2020 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 04/08/2022

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking; went to auto service center to fix rest of accident body damage, unsure if they addressed these specific issues until I pick up the car this weekend --- how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - myself and one other passenger (child) were safely secured while driving, as was the other driver as reported; safety did feel even more assuring prior to impact, as we were under the impression that fcw and aeb features were going to activate --- has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - it has been reported to both insurance and auto service center, but not reported as of this writing if issues were addressed --- has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - yes, it is currently at auto service center, in preparation for pickup this weekend --- were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - no. Prior to this accident, I have seen both the fcw and aeb features deploy without any issues when in situation where they would normally.

6 Warnings problem of the 2020 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 02/25/2022

Recently, my Nissan has started having many problems with several of the collision/emergency sensors on the vehicle. It will happen randomly, in any sort of weather, and the sensor warnings will stay on for different amounts of time during each incident. Having the sensors randomly go off while driving is incredibly distracting, not to mention completely unsafe and useless. Along with the sensor issues, the aeb will spontaneously stop my vehicle and not allow me to brake it hot the gas. This is notable mainly when reversing. Just this morning I was completely unable to back out of my driveway because the aeb system kept automatically braking and preventing me from being out (though there was absolutely nothing moving or in the way. ).

This issue has been going on for 6 months. On three different occasions I have taken my car to fred hass Nissan due to the sensor lights coming on as if someone is going to hit me from the back and side of my car. It is still not fixed and they tell me it is safe to drive but I feel unsafe. You can be driving down the road whether it be sunshine or raining and no cars are around you and all of a sudden these sensor lights come on and my car slows down as if trying to avoid a collision. I have purchased 4 vehicles over the past several years from this same dealership and this one has given me trouble. I had to beg for them to give me a rental car so they could check my car out Monday and then they called me Tuesday late afternoon to come get my car because they couldn't fix it and it's under engineering review to figure out how to resolve this issue. This is the 2nd time they have given me this excuse. I called Nissan corporate 800 number and complained and this man from consumer affairs who was very rude kept telling me there was nothing they could do and they weren't going to buy back my car and that I would just have to take it back to the dealership and they would have to figure it out on how to fix the issue and that a letter would be going out to them and that I would need to contact them on if they received the letter or not. I have photos and videos of the sensor light issues and have given them to fred haas Nissan to review and again nothing has been done. I am back in this car still having the issue and Nissan doesn't want to keep the car and give me a rental until they can come up with a solution to fix the issue. I am afraid that if it is not corrected there is going to be an accident that could have been prevented.

9 Warnings problem of the 2020 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 10/18/2020

Safety is at risk for multiple reasons one because a month upon receiving this brand new vehicle with 40 miles on it I’ve been experiencing malfunctioning problems. I am not able to receive a forward collision warning at times. I’m not sure if these electrical problems also caused my battery to die a few weeks later. In these moments is the start of when the malfunction notification would appear daily. Two— the transmission has been having issues for a long time as well. My drives no longer have a smooth transition when I press the gas it stutters and will not accelerate immediately. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. I brought my car new once again so am very disappointed at how much needs to be worked on and do not want to purchase from Nissan ever again.

10 Warnings problem of the 2020 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 10/01/2020

I am reporting a chronic and dangerous defect in my 2020 Nissan Versa that results in an unpredictable, sudden, and complete loss of acceleration (motive power) while driving. This defect has been present since shortly after purchase and remains unresolved, posing a severe safety risk on public roads. Specific safety incident details: symptoms: the failure begins with the illumination of the malfunction indicator lamp (check engine light), simultaneously accompanied by dashboard messages like "malfunction see owner’s manual" and "key system error. " the critical safety hazard (loss of power): immediately following the dash warning, the vehicle experiences a major, sudden loss of acceleration. This is not a gradual deceleration—the throttle becomes unresponsive, and the vehicle will not accelerate for approximately 4 to 5 seconds. Driving conditions: this failure occurs randomly, including during critical maneuvers such as accelerating from a stop, merging into traffic, or attempting to accelerate on a highway. Consequence: when the vehicle unexpectedly fails to accelerate (especially in high-speed or high-traffic situations), it creates a high risk of being struck from behind or being unable to clear an intersection or merging lane safely. Initial report (in-warranty): the problem was first reported on March 31, 2021 (mileage 25,404) to central houston Nissan (invoice # nics309560) and again on July 29, 2021 (mileage 32,229) to sterling mccall Nissan (invoice # 2373806). Engineering investigation: on both occasions, the dealerships specifically noted that the issue (dtc p0101 and associated warnings/power loss) was "under investigation under Nissan engineers. " technical service bulletin (TSB): Nissan has acknowledged this widespread issue by releasing TSB ntb21-049 (June 8, 2021), which addresses the "mil on with dtc p0101" for the 2020-2021 Versa model.
