  • Recall 2017356 [Canada]: Airbag
    On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the driver frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the driver frontal airbag inflator. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected. Additional note: this campaign affects 2007-2012 versa hatchback models and 2007-2011 versa sedan models. The 2012 model year nissan versa sedan is not involved.

  • Recall 2017023 [Canada]: Airbag
    On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.

  • Recall 2015402 [Canada]: Suspension
    On certain vehicles, the front suspension coil springs may have been manufactured with an inadequate phosphorous coating, and/or could have low residual stress in the springs. This inadequate coating could lead to cracking due to coil-to-coil contact when the spring is compressed, which would allow the spring to be more susceptible to corrosion. In some instances coil spring breakage could occur. If ignored, broken front coil spring could damage the front tires and cause rapid air loss and/or tire failure, which could affect the driver's ability to bring the vehicle to a controlled stop, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace both front coil springs.

  • Recall 2010434 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
    On certain vehicles, the relays in the daytime running light (drl) circuit could have become contaminated with silicon during the assembly process. This could, in some circumstances, cause one or both of the relays to stop functioning, which would cause one or both of the daytime running lights not to illuminate automatically when the vehicle is driven. Should this condition occur, the lack of drl function may render the vehicle less visible to other motorists and pedestrians, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: dealers will replace the relays for the daytime running lights circuit.

  • Recall 2007069 [Canada]: Airbag
    On certain vehicles, the terminals for the passenger side seatbelt tension sensor harness connector may have been damaged during manufacturing process. This could result in a loss of electrical continuity causing the occupant detection system to become inoperative. If this occurs, the airbag warning light will come on and the passenger side frontal airbag will not deploy in a crash. Correction: dealers will replace the connector for the seatbelt tension sensor harness.

  • Recall 2006186 [Canada]: Powertrain
    Certain vehicles equipped with a continuously variable transmission (cvt) fail to comply with cmvss 101. The odometer and trip record counter are calibrated in miles rather than kilometres. Correction: dealers will reprogram the odometer to record the distance traveled in kilometres. Where such reprogramming is not feasible or practical, the odometer will be replaced with one recording in kilometres.

  • Recall 2006213 [Canada]: Brakes
    Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of cmvss 135. Specifically, the "warning: clean filler cap before removing" portion of the required statement on the brake fluid reservoir cap was omitted. Correction: updated brake fluid reservoir caps will be mailed to vehicle owners along with installation instructions.

    From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

  • Front coil spring fracture investigation as of 20150513

    In a letter dated september 10,2015, nissan north america,inc. (nissan) notified the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) of a safety defect that may result in coil spring fracture in approximately 218,019 model year (my) 2007 through 2012 nissan versa vehiclesproduced from may 8, 2006 through november12, 2012 and originally sold or ever registered in the following 22 states and the district of columbia: connecticut, delaware, iowa, illinois, indiana, kentucky massachusetts, maine, maryland, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, virginia, washington d.C., west virginia and wisconsin (nhtsa recall 15v-573).Nissan indicated that the recalled vehicles may contain front coil springs that received inadequate phosphorous coating, have low residual stress, or a combination of both.Surface imperfections resulting from coil-to-coil contact when the spring is compressed may lead to crack initiation.Exposure of the surface imperfections to road salts, in regions with heavy use of road salts for snow and ice control, may promote crack propagation in the spring that could result in spring fracture.If the coil spring fractures it may puncture the front tire and possibly the brake line while driving, which may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.Odis analysis of complaints it has received from the public (voqs) and nissan complaint data submitted in response to the information request letter for pe15-019 identified a total of 468 non-duplicative reports alleging coil spring fractures in the subject vehicles, including 142 voqs and 367 nissan complaints (41 of the incidents reported to odi were also reported to nissan).While the recall region accounts for approximately 43 percent of vehicle sales, the analysis found that 94 percent of the complaints involved vehicles sold or operated in those states.Approximately 27 percent of the voqs reporting coil spring failures in the recalled states indicated that the failure resulted in a punctured tire.Odi also identified one complaint that alleged brake line damage from a failed spring.Nissans recall will replace both coil springs free of charge.Based on nissans safety recall, this investigation is closed.The 142 voqs referenced in this resume are: 10236143, 10405369, 10443746, 10452956, 10491553, 10497737, 10503060, 10504557, 10512390, 10512975, 10514582, 10516024, 10516085, 10521216, 10522261, 10526334, 10533856, 10537404, 10537407, 10548678, 10552124, 10559853, 10562485, 10565283, 10572591, 10578519, 10583059, 10583154, 10583496, 10583673, 10584979, 10585327, 10585377, 10585751, 10586397, 10586444, 10587798, 10588347, 10588427, 10592366, 10592498, 10592780, 10593373, 10593621, 10595215, 10596802, 10598404, 10598877, 10606859, 10606998, 10610082, 10618059, 10640845, 10644269, 10645075, 10649515, 10653189, 10659632, 10662158, 10663102, 10667071, 10667845, 10669949, 10670829, 10671894, 10676522, 10680544, 10680740, 10682397, 10691419, 10692629, 10693347, 10694156, 10694420, 10701250, 10702765, 10703126, 10704658, 10705882, 10706351, 10711805, 10712045, 10712922, 10714243, 10715041, 10715175, 10716106, 10717254, 10717320, 10717403, 10717412, 10717489, 10717563, 10720958, 10721782, 10721824, 10722113, 10722459, 10722915, 10723873, 10723972, 10723973, 10724158, 10724899, 10725002, 10725328, 10725377, 10725542, 10726251, 10726736, 10726741, 10730138, 10730154, 10730342, 10731050, 10731692, 10731799, 10731901, 10732054, 10732062, 10733059, 10733144, 10733309, 10733349, 10733607, 10733781, 10733854, 10735347, 10735353, 10735606, 10736199, 10736227, 10743474, 10743634, 10743790, 10744701, 10745272, 10745646, 10745661, 10747233, 10747258, 10749978

Due to rust corrosion on the underneath frame and carriage of this vehicle, the control arm on both sides has snapped out of place. This has affected my steering capabilities. It also almost caused a serious accident on the highway. I am lucky to be alive. The vehicle is with my mechanic and i will include as many pictures as i can. The recall states that the undercarriage of the vehicle may have unnecessary rust and unfortunately my pin number has been involved. The rust corrosion is so severe that the frame is literally rotting completely out. There is holes you can see through all over the frame of this vehicle. I feel as though nissan not only put my immediate life in danger but also many other drivers on the road as well. I was in the air force and they are reactivating me back into service due to the covid. Problem is that i no longer have a vehicle that will get me from ohio down to mississippi.

I was told that both side's airbags were done. The dealership told me it would take three weeks to a month to repair. When i told them that i would have to be compensated for my car downtime because i do uber. It was done in two days. The clock spring went out in my car. I do not have a lot of pictures, but i can go in my file and fine them. Thanks for any help on these issues. The airbags were done at the end of 2017 and i didn't know i could do what i'm doing today. I was told i would have to paid to get my airbags checked out. Over the past two years, i've had so many issues with my car. I've spent over 2.000.00 or more. I've learned so much about my car from google and youtube. Thank you for any help in this matter.

If i try to stop without doing so, the car will continue past the stop light road mark. When i press on the break, the break pedal feels like it touch the road.

I had to press the horn and held it so the driver would realize i had a problem. I had to swing away as not to hid the driver ahead.

I'm just curious as to this newest recall nissan has issues for certain versa sedans and hatchbacks. You see, both my front passenger and front driver (steering column) airbags both had to be replaced due to a recall. Now, the side air bags are beginning to show up on the recall list yet when i enter my vin, it shows no active recalls. I'm not really a betting woman but i will say that if my driver and passenger were replaced, wouldn't it stand to reason that the side airbags should probably be included in this newest recall nissan has put out? I got two side airbags. One on my driver and one on my passenger. And i don't want little metal fragments exploding in my face if impact comes to my car. Please let me know as it can take a while for my dealership to get the parts needed to replace the airbags. You know if two out of the four airbags have already been recalled, chances are the other two are next.

I received a recall notice in the fall of 2017 for the driver side airbag. When the replacement airbags were available in the spring of 2018 & called my local dealership where i purchased the car and made an appointment to have the work done. I was told when i arrived that because the airbag light was flashing they needed to do a diagnostic test that would cost $100+ to determine if it was safe to replace the airbag. They stated that the wiring harness/spiral cable may be the problem & that it would cost $1000+ to replace everything & that this was not covered under the recall. The vehicle has less than 94000 miles. I really like the car, but i also want to make sure it is safe to drive. Do i have any rights here? I called nissanone & they gave me a case # 31081454, they contacted the dealer & they were told that my check engine light needed to be addressed first. I have owned this car for 10 years, brought it new, the check engine light has never came on. Maybe the dealer used "check engine" light as a blanket term for any light that lights up on the dash board. I don't know. The nissan representative just keep saying that for safety reasons i needed to have it changes as soon as possible or maybe take it to another dealer. I would have to drive about 40 miles to another nissan dealer, which is ok, but why should i have too do that? Any assistants or advice you can give me is greatly appreciated.

Takata recall: local nissan dealership (sandy sansing nissan, pensacola florida) was contacted by us several times over the past 4 months, requesting information on this recall. We were told the part to repair the airbag is not available and won't be until spring 2018. When i called again today, i was told the same thing, but also told by the nissan serviceman, "this is a voluntary recall by nissan, done out of an abundance of caution. Nothing to worry about." i asked him if it was the airbag recall that had been in the press for the past few years for takata and he said, "no. This is a different part - just replacing the inflators and isn't anything to worry about. There is no threat to life or well being of drivers or passengers." i asked if he would call me when the parts are available and he said, "no, but you can call me every few weeks to see if the parts are in." i looked up the recall on the nhtsa website and it is, indeed the takata recall that people have died and/or been seriously injured from the airbags being faulty. This is my 18 year old son's car. I'm really ticked off and concerned.

Takata air bag recall, being charged to fix!! I have 2 airbag recalls. I've had a rental for 3 months while awaiting parts (expected spring 2018) on 12/19/07, adam ruehman, (service advisor) calls me & tells me he's getting "screamed at" because i've had the rental so long. He said that he had my airbag ready. I asked him if he had both, because that was strange. I called nissan headquarters who confirmed that they did not have both airbags, only one. That i can take my car to fix one & keep the rental until they got the other one. I had to work so i had to wait until the morning. The next day,12/20, adam calls me telling me again, that they have both parts. Nissan hq calls again & tells me now, that the service dept said that they do have parts for both airbags. I bring my car in & adam tells me that it will be 300$ because i need a spring that is connected to the airbag & that's also the reason my horn doesn't work. I tell him that i don't have any money (xmas time) i'm single mom & broke. I said "so what do i do?" he said "sorry, we can still fix it, it just won't work" i didn't tell him he could repair my car without the spring that i was required to pay for. I was very upset & sent off in a courtesy van to go get the rental car & bring it back for them, expected to drive my car with a recall repair that was done incorrectly. I called nissan hq & they told me that the case was forwarded to a higher department & it will be 24 hours & they couldn't help me. I called adam @dealership & told him that i'm not taking my car like that because it's unsafe to drive & not returning the rental until i hear from nissan hq. He said ok. Shortly after, adam left me voicemails demanding to bring the rental back because the recall repair was "complete", & nissan was not going to pay for any more rentals, to come pick up my car and they will charge me 35$ a day for the rental.

Dear sir, nissan corporate has been very rude and purposely mis-representing information with regards to putting us in an alternative vehicle since the recall. The are also refusing to honor a driver side seat belt warranty, the seat belt being stuck in it's buckle. On 11/1/2017 we were advised to not drive our versa any more in a phone call from nissan. The local dealer then told us to call back again the following day, as the person who is supposed to give us paperwork is on leave. We insisted and then a service technician told us to call enterprise and reserve a car. Enterprise sent us back to nissan dealer for a purchase order. Finally with run around, another service tech gave us the papwerwork for the loaner car. We called enterprise again to book the car and got their at the 5:00 pm, when the car was reserved. It took 90 minutes for enterprise to get the car after which service manager reneeta refuesed to give us a car until we paid a deposit. She persisted and suggested that if we did not buy insurance, the smallest dent on the car will come off our personal insurance deductible, even if not our fault. I am at loss on why we should be paying such deposits or be harrassed be the nissan dealer and rental car for a recall and why is nissan offerring customers a loaner and then harress them so that customer give up on taking the loaner. I will call nhtsa tomorrow to formally request an investigation on the same.

Was driving down the street and i heard a loud bang then my car veered off to the right. Luckily i wasn't on a busy road and was able to pull it all the way over. The front of my car basically collapsed onto the passenger corner. It was covering my tire and i couldn't move the car. Apparently the strut broke and had to get an alignment. Also, the engine light won't turn off after i put gas in. The gas cap will not screw on right. My door handles keep popping off. My seatbelt keeps getting stuck. And my tire light won't turn off when nothing is wrong with it.

Takata recall: i was provided information that the airbags needed to be replaced. I called mossy nissan to schedule and i was told that the parts would not be in until spring 2018, however, they would provide a loaner car until the repairs can be made. Unfortunately, they would only provide the loaner car with my 20 year old daughter driving if we paid $25.00 per day for 9 months. Now this is their recall, they are the ones that said it was absolutely not safe to drive but they want me to pay over $6000 in rental fees? So either my daughter drives an unsafe car or we have to basically pay the value of a new car in rental costs. This is not safe and if this is their recall, regardless of the driver, this should be covered.

Takata recall i was informed last week via a letter that i have two recalls on my vehicle. So i did what nissan told me to do and went to a dealership, to pick up a loaner vehicle provided from nissan. We went through all of the paperwork and they informed me that the driver side airbag will not be available until spring 2018. I accepted this fact and was willing to accept their loaner vehicle and bring my car home and not drive it. When we got to the rental agreement they informed me i would not be able to use the vehicle for lyft or uber driving, lyft is my main source of income and i have no other option. I am also a driver for amazon flex and i'm leaving pizza hut. When i went to sign the rental agreement they informed me that i would not be able to use their vehicle for my job. Also they informed me that i would need to contact nissan for it to be approved to be able to use the vehicle for commercial purposes. This is my only means of transportation and income. So i contacted nissan and the person i was connected with escalated my case to a regional nissan manager. The second person called me back within a few hours and informed me that i would not be able to use the vehicle for my job, and that if i choose to continue to drive my current vehicle i would be relinquishing any rights if the airbags were to harm me. So i either choose to accept their loaner vehicle and find a new job, or refuse the car and drive my current vehicle with airbags that might harm me and or occupants of my vehicle. While i was at the dealership i attempted everything i possibly could i even asked if they would be able to accept my car as a trade in they denied to this because of the airbags. So i have the choice of changing careers or continue to drive a car that could possibly injure me or any occupants. I was informed to contact the nhtsa by the dealership i purchased my car from.

Takata recall. Nissan sent a notice months ago saying they would notify us when they had parts on the inflator/airbag repair. Until then we were not to use the passenger front seat. They have not given us one single update! It has been over a year and we have heard nothing! There is no excuse for such customer treatment. I called nissan today after several transfers and was told that maybe they would have some parts during the first quarter of 2017. Shouldn't our government fine these car companies? Where is our congress and senators on these types of safety issues? Hiding in the weeds? Collecting their fat salaries? They are laying it all off on takata...However, takata is one of nissan's suppliers. Why isn't nissan held accountable and required to recall the cars and pay the customers for this mess?

However, some of the things that they said and did made me suspicious that perhaps they did not actually perform the work or replace the old airbag. Sometime in early 2016 i received a letter from nissan informing me of the passenger airbag recall and telling me not to allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat, and to wait until i got a second letter when the part was available. In early november, i had already been waiting for many months for this second letter from nissan, but the letter never came and still has not come. So i called my dealer on november 8th to see if perhaps the second letter had been lost in the mail, and if the part was now available. The dealer said yes, the new inflator just came in, and to bring my vehicle in, which i did first thing the next morning. They called an hour later to say they could not find the part. Then they later said they found it. Then they performed the work in about an hour or less. It seemed too fast. As i was driving away, i realized that i only had their word for it that they had actually performed the work. So i called the nissan headquarters and got to speak to their consumer affairs department. My regional case manager at nissan consumer affairs investigated by calling my dealer and then called me back. He told me that the dealer said they performed an "interim repair" on my vehicle and that i will be notified when the permanent replacement part becomes available! He said the new airbag that i received was another takata airbag that had never been exposed to humidity. I want to know what airbag is actually in my car now. I had my local mechanic open up the compartment and i photograped the "new" airbag now in my car. I photographed the serial number. *tr

Takata airbag complaint. I received the interim notification from nissan in early july, and to this day have received no further communication from nissan on the matter. This has been four months that i have not been able to fully use the vehicle, since having passengers in the front seat is unsafe. Documentation on safecar.Gov suggests that there is an interim fix for this recall, however, my dealer could find no record of this in their system nor have they received any communication from nissan since the initial release. The latest update shows that parts for a final fix may not be available until december or later. This is inexcusable, far beyond a reasonable wait time to fix this very dangerous problem that also significantly reduces the utility and safety of the vehicle. I have also spoken with nissan customer service about this issue (although i did not escalate the complaint beyond first-level service) to absolutely zero resolution. I am hoping there is some recourse or faster resolution to this issue. *tr

My car's check engine light and the airbag indicator lights came up. The dealer diagnosed the problem and it was a faulty fuel level sending unit for the check engine light and for the airbag light was due to a bad airbag control unit and clock spring. The car was never in an accident and had around 80k miles on it when this happened.

Takata inflators - i received a recall notification sometime during mid summer 2016, for nhtsa recall 16v-349 from nissan north american inc. I was informed of the defect of the front passenger air bag inflators. The recall notification letter indicated that nissan was "awaiting parts to remedy the affected vehicles". I was to be sent a second letter when parts were available and arrange to take the vehicle to a nissan dealer for repairs. During the beginning of september 2016 my vehicle was at the dealer for other repairs and we inquired as to when they thought parts might be available. We were told the were supposed to be available any time and they would have to order them once they were available. Today i contacted nissan north america at the phone number listed on the original and only recall notice i received. I was told that repairs should already have been made to my vehicle, to contact the dealer and if they were not able to schedule and make repairs to contact them again. I called the dealer, nissan of mckinney (texas) and was put on hold to see if they could schedule my vehicle for repairs, and came back and immediately scheduled repairs for next week. I find it appalling that a safety recall, which could result in the death of an individual, was so poorly executed by both nissan north america, who failed to send out the second letter the original notification indicated would be sent, and the dealer who so deftly ignored any responsibility on following through on even contacting us about parts, when we had queried them so recently. We bought the 2007 versa new and it is still registered in the same names, at the same address and even maintenance and repairs are completed at the same selling dealer. I consider this safety recall campaign a completely failure on the parts of both nissan north american and mckinney nissan.

After driving on the highway we parked the car. We noticed a portion of broken coil spring lying under the front passenger tire. After investigation we found this was a portion of the bottom of the front suspension coil. I checked the front driver side and found the bottom of the coil is broken, but has not yet fallen from the suspension mount. I checked the nhtsa site and learned there was a recall for the front coils (nhtsa recall 15v-573). I called nissan and they told me this recall does not apply to our vin, it is limited to cars sold/registered on the east coast. This car as originally in ca, then went to wa, then germany before it was recently brought to md. This car has not been in an accident, nor driven over rough terrain; so it is hard to comprehend how both coils would have cracked. The noted recall defect of 'insufficient corrosion coating' it listed as only applicable to east coast cars; but this incident seems to point to it being a broader manufacturing defect.

I received notice of the takata passenger airbag recall in august, 2016. I have been unable to have passengers in my car since august without risking their deaths. Nissan has done absolutely nothing to remedy the situation. Despite many calls & many promises from them that the parts will be in "soon," they have done nothing but apologize. Toyota & honda seem to be able to get parts but nissan says they can't. Now they're telling me it might be march of 2017 before i can get my vehicle fixed; 8 months after their original recall notice. This recall is a huge inconvenience to me & my family, never mind possible danger to me as the driver should the airbag deploy erroneously. Nissan's behavior is irresponsible & unacceptable. Nissan needs to be disciplined.

Takata recall (nhtsa recall 16v-349) - my complaint is that nissan north america denied vehicle owner's request to provide a loaner vehicle until the defect is repaired. The request was based on potential safety risk posed by the subject defect to vehicle occupants while the vehicle is used/driven. The recall notice says the defect may result in "metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death." this is an unacceptable risk. The vehicle owner's only recourse is to not drive the vehicle, which is also unacceptable given the need to use it. Therefore, i request that nhtsa require nissan north america to provide a free loaner vehicle to the owner of the defective vehicle until the defect is repaired.

Takata recall: i received a safety recall letter from nissan stating that the front passenger airbag in my 2007 nissan versa needs to be replaced. I called the dealership and was told nissan does not provide loaner cars and will not pay for rental cars. I called nissan consumer affairs and was told the same. I was also informed that the parts for the needed repair work won't be in until late sept./early oct. I need my car for transportation to work and for driving my child to school, etc. I do not have a second car, and i cannot afford to rent a car and pay for that. Nissan instructed me to have my child sit in the back seat but if the airbag is deployed, as the driver, i will be sitting inches from possibly flying metal. I do not understand why nisan is not providing more assistance with this very serious recall. When i mentioned that i have an older car (my car is over ten years old) and so the risk is greater, the supervisor at nissan consumer affairs stated she did not know anything about that. Shouldn't car manufacturers provide loaner cars to people who have these "ticking time bombs" in their cars? How can nissan expect me to just stop driving my car? How do they expect me to get to work every day?

It advised me to make an appointment at the local dealership for a repair or replacement of the airbag on the passenger side and not to allow anyone to ride on the passenger side of the vehicle. What i do not understand is why it took 9 years to discover this defect and what i do not like is being told how i must utilize my vehicle in order to protect other passengers. It makes we wonder if i would want to replace this vehicle which has worked very well over the years with another nissan versa or other nissan vehicle.

Takata recall 16v-349: re: doj case number 16-20810, u.S. District court, eastern district of michigan. I see from the plea agreement that u.S. Government received its money, the clerk of court in michigan received its $400.00. The vehicle manufacturers also received their cut. However, the folks that own affected vehicles that cannot accommodate front passenger until replacement of inflator is made are out of luck. Nothing is being done for them.

Takata recall: this is third time airbag inflator light goes on. Had recall repaired a yr ago at clermont, fl dealer. After repair was done noticed horn, air conditioner and defrost buttons not working on panel. I immediately pointed it out to dealer. They fixed air conditioner button only, said the other two issues were not there problem. I spoke to warrant dept that day at the dealership to no avail dept. Stated car was out of warranty. If i wanted it fixed i had to pay. Dealership said it was not their problem i had to pay and they would gladly give me an estimate. Horn and other buttons on panel were all working properly until air bag was fixed that day. I called nissan warranty dept again. Dept said they could not help because it was a dealership issue. I took vehicle to another dealership in leesburg, fl 3 months ago. They stated there was a recall on airbag i did not know about. They fixed problem. 2 months later airbag inflator light goes on again. I went to the nissan dealer in clermont and they stated there was no recall on file. They would contact me when they recieved information about it. I tried to explain to manager that i spoke to the warranty dept and they stated i needed to bring vehicle in to have this issue fixed right away. Again manager said there was nothing they could do at the time i would have to wait to receive information about recall. I really need help regarding the issues at hand. Horn is not working due to the airbag malfunction. I drive this vehicle everyday and i am very scared sumthing might happen due to these issues and recall.

Reporting an issue with the 2007 nissan versa intermittent brake failure. When driving on dry roads and braking hard, the brake pedal would go to the floor, then recover itself and have adequate pressure within about a minute. Car has been regularly serviced since purchase, including annual brake service. This issue has occurred twice in the car's lifetime - the first time, the driver was able to maneuver the car out of traffic without issue. Full brake system was checked out with no issues found in master cylinder or other hydraulics and unable to repeat issue. After 1.5 years, the second time the issue occurred, the driver was in stop & go rush hour traffic on dry roads and when hitting the brakes, the brake failure caused a collision with another vehicle with airbag deployment. Full brake system check by multiple shops showed no issue with brake hydraulics, and again was unable to repeat the issue. Brake fluid had been recently exchanged. Owner has requested event data recorder info pull from nissan usa to determine that brake pedal was applied and car did not slow down - nissan usa stating $600 fee plus 1 month lead time until such data can be pulled from the vehicle. Nissan tech has confirmed that such an issue has been seen in some vehicles, but cannot confirm cause, only that replacement of a working master cylinder has fixed the problem, which goes against reason of replacing something that is functioning under standard test conditions.

Sometimes after driving highway or residential fine after turning off, and returning it won't start. Sometimes after this it will restart after taking a break and then trying again a third or fourth time. You never know.4 mechanic shops, including nissan dealership (twice) could not figure it out. No diagnostic is clear on the issue. One mechanic found a theft/security code come up, but both sets of keys work and both remote locks work. I called the lock reset people and they said it sounds more like a computer problem. Frustrating and dangerous. I do all the required and recommended maintenance and checks. This is bad.

Cvt transmission. Car will stop while in drive, with car already in motion, and need to be restarted in neutral. When shifted into reverse, car will not actually go in reverse for some time and generally not until the gas pedal is more firmly depressed and then eventually after 30 seconds or so will finally "lurch" into reverse. Then when shifting to drive, the car will start to go and then stall out again, needing to be restarted in neutral again. The fact that these instances occur with the car in motion is concerning and could lead to accidents. We have been very fortunate thus far to be in limited traffic when these instances have occurred but is an ongoing issue.

My transmission was unable to upshift to highway speeds. The closest nissan dealer verified my cvt transmission had adequate fluid. I limbered the car home. Upon searching the internet i read numerous posts of multiple owners with similar problems with nissan's 2007-2010 model year cvt transmissions. Nissan, admitted to their flawed cvt transmission by extending the warranty to 10 years/120 k miles. I filed a warranty claim with nissan as i was just slightly over the mileage warranty but well within the time frame part of the warranty. Nissan's extended warranty document claims they will assist vehicle owners with transmission related expenses for those transmissions that fail beyond the extended warranty. Marissa (615-725-7447) from nissan contacted me this morning stating that nissan will not help cover any of my expenses i have had several nissan service departments admit to me the excessive problems they have seen with this vintage cvt transmission compared to other transmissions and the large amounts of this type transmission they have had to replace. Nissan should be held accountable for their inferior design and production of this cvt transmission. At a minimum they should be assisting in my huge expense (over $ 3000) that i am experiencing right now. They claim to commit to this in writing within the extended warranty verbiage, but in my attempt for assistance i have been flatly denied. I am a very unsatisfied nissan customer, fortunately for them there was no personal injury to me or other drivers when i was unable to maintain a safe driving speed on my way home. I ask for your assistance on this matter for i am confident that there are an excessively high amount of nissan cvt transmission failures within the 2007-2010 model year, well beyond the industry norm. They should help pay for part of my expenses as they commit to within the extended warranty.

I was driving at approximately 5-10 mph on a slight downward slope when the vehicle suddenly made a loud noise, the vehicle was jarred, and the vehicle came to an abrupt stop. After exiting the vehicle, i found the front passenger tire had come off from the suspension, and it was misaligned and sticking out at an angle. In addition, there were shattered pieces of vehicle parts on the ground. The vehicle was resting only on three tires. Luckily the vehicle stopped rather than rolling down the slope and colliding with several cars as well as people; however, the vehicle did have to be towed as it was not drive-able following the incident. The vehicle required over $640 worth of repairs including but not limited to the control arm, drive axle and shaft. Several months following the incident, nissan opened a campaign specifically for corrosion of the front coil springs. The vehicle had been driven in michigan from 2007 to summer 2012 where there is heavy snow and salt on the roads in the winter. From the summer 2012 to now, the vehicle has been driven in the dc metro area. I took the vehicle to a nissan dealership in april 2016 to have the campaign completed, which was replacing the front coil springs. Upon inspection of the vehicle by nissan, i was told that nissan was unable to replace solely the front coil springs because they were unable to disassemble other parts needed to get to the coil springs due to other parts having significant damage from corrosion (ex. Strut, bearing, mount, etc.). As a result, multiple parts (not just the coil springs) had to be replaced.

Known nissan cvt transmission issue on 2007 nissan versa and many other nissan vehicles equipped with the cvt transmission. Our 2007 versa stopped moving while in "drive" in an extremely busy intersection - thankfully it did not result in a serious accident. We were able to pull off to the side of the road, put it in "park" and then back into "drive" to get it back home. Nissan has officially recognized & noted this cvt transmission issue on thier "nissan cvt customer satisfaction program" website and has extended the warranty to cover effected/faulty transmissions. My vehicle has been at a local nissan dealer for 2 weeks awaiting nissan authorization to perform the warranty repair. The larger concern is as follows - given the failure mode we experienced and the associated dangers related to a cvt transmission failure, why is this not a federal mandated safety recall? This situation is no different than the current gm ignition switch issue in my opinion. Failure of the nissan cvt transmision in certain situations can result in an accident, serious injury and even death. *js

The vehicle was not driven a lot and at 55000 miles it developed the problem of transmission coolant failure, this will cause the vehicle to lock up even during driving and cause an unsafe driving condition. Luckily we detected quick enough that we did not have anyone harmed during the operation of the car. Nissan refuses to cover all repair work under the extended guarantee and ensure safe driving from the debris left in the coolant line but did replace the transmission and radiator. There is no guarantee that the coolant pump, thermostat or other coolant devices won't fail and cause other operational hazards, if they do indeed fail as a result of their negligence to perform a full repair; and ensuring that the lines and coolant systems are free from debris and will not fail under use. Failure of the coolant system can cause overheating of the engine and may pose a unsafe driving hazard, however by their (nissan) definition changing the radiator and transmission and leaving debris in the coolant lines is within reason and safety guidelines and do not have to flush or replace any other component that the oil mixture has touched even if it did damage those components as a result of the oil mixture. *tr

The hatchback lock mechanism quit working on july 2 (106885 miles). Can only be opened with the key fob (no key lock on this model), or by unlocking the back seats and crawling into the trunk compartment to pull the manual release. While this is a pain in the neck, it doesn't seem to pose a hazard. On july 27 (108291 miles) the front passenger door lock quit working - totally and completely. There are four ways to open this door, with the key fob, the electric lock/unlock mechanism on both the driver's side and the passenger's side, and finally the manual lock/unlock mechanism. All of these quit working and there is no exterior manual key lock to access either. In the event of an accident or an emergency, the passenger has no quick and easy way to get out of the car. They must exit the same way the entered the vehicle, by crawling over the driver's side seat and wheel, emergency brake and transmission shift mechanism. My wife drives a total of 64 miles a day (to and from work) 10 days a month -- by herself, so the passenger side door and hatchback have not been used as often as another car with our mileage might be expected to have been used.

Both times at costco and again when the light came on again the tire pressure was at the specified 33 psi.

In 2014, my versa's rf coil spring fractured. A large piece of it actually detached and fell onto the road as the car was being driven out of my driveway. I took it to a private garage and the spring and strut were replaced. In fall of 2015 i received the recall notice regarding this issue. In january 2016, i took the car to capital nissan in wilmington, nc, where i now live, and i was told that in order for the recall to be completed, i would need to purchase a new rf and lf strut out of pocket because the existing struts are fused by corrosion to the mounts. Moreover, i was told by the nissan recall center that i could not be reimbursed for the repairs i already had completed until i had the recall work completed. So, i am being held hostage by nissan. They won't make good the repairs that the recall forces them to make unless i pay them more money and they won't reimburse me for repairs already made by me that were necessitated by the defect that led to the recall. This does not seem right to me and i am appealing to you for redress. I hope you can help me. I don't think your recall went far enough, by the way. Later in the summer of 2014, the repair facility to which i had taken the versa for the strut was inspecting my car and informed me that the crossmember for the automatic transmission, as well as the lower right control arm, were corroded to the point of failure and needed to be replaced. I couldn't believe that the workmanship on this car could be so shoddy that parts would rust out in such a wholesale fashion - not until i received the recall notice. That repair cost me an additional $1600 (roughly, excluding tax). I can provide you with invoices for these repairs, if it will help you understand the problem and perhaps take a closer look at others' corrosion-related troubles with the nissan versa.

The dealership said there is no recall issued from nissan on this, but i wonder if it is something that should be investigated in case there is a defect. I was lucky but someone else might be hurt if the suspension is falling apart. *tr

1) the reverse lights stopped working and replacing both bulbs did not fix the problem. The problem is electrical and costly to fix. 2) the front passenger window switch/motor stopped working in 2009 and costs $500 to repair so still broken. 3) the rear left passenger door will not always open from the outside with the remote unlock switch on my key 'fob', and sometimes the remote will not lock same door. The door not opening has nothing to do with the child safety switch on the inner door. Sometimes the same door cannot be opened from the inside with the child safety lock in the 'unlock' position and the door unlocked from within. It could become a 'trap' in an emergency situation. This is an on and off problem, and it happens quite frequently.

Pipe from front end of muffler failed at flange weld due to: (1) mechanical strain, the muffler pipe supports the resonator by pulling the pipe tight; (2) lack of corrosion inhibition; (3) poor quality welding, the components appeared to have not been cleaned first. ==details== [1] the comparatively heavy resonator was supported at the rear only by the pipe segments between it and the muffler. This is a significant amount of mechanical force, applied to a structure not designed to handle it. [2] any car sold to parts of the usa that regularly get snow should have corrosion prevention applied to all underbody components by default. Not doing so is not only a poor business decision but also increases the likelihood of parts falling off and landing in the road. [3] welds to underbody components should be well inspected, as if they become separated parts of the vehicle may cease to function properly or depart from the vehicle entirely, resulting in a safety issue. ==final note== this form does not retain formatting, making the reports unduly difficult to read. *tr

In 2008, we began to notice intermittent starting problems with our 2007 nissan versa; the car would not start after prolonged cranking of the starter. In may 2009, we took the car to the dealership to undergo diagnostics and repair. They found the problem to be a faulty fuel pressure regulator and replaced the part under warranty. Five months later, the problem reappeared. The versa went back to the dealer for the same repair, in november 2009, and again replaced the part under warranty. Since the last repair, the versa was driven infrequently during the first half of 2010, and therefore, didn?T accumulate significant mileage. In the summer of 2010, the car was driven regularly again, with the starting problem reappearing in october 2010. We have not been able to take the car in for service until january 2011. This marks the third repair for the same problem. Unfortunately, the versa has exceeded the factory warranty (38k miles) and we are paying out of pocket for this repair. This problem is not isolated to us. I have done some research on this issue and the same problem is shared my many other north american versa owners across many enthusiast internet forums, car sites, blogs and other locations. With that in mind, i called nissan consumer affairs and stated my case. The reply was simply that nissan has not recognized this problem as a recall or campaign. We made the decision to purchase a new vehicle based on safety and reliability. We have lost confidence in our nissan versa, as every time we take the wheel we?Re left wondering whether it will or will not start. I cannot accept the fact that a modern, low-mileage, three-year-old vehicle will occasionally not start, thereby, creating a situation of potential danger to family. While this problem does not constitute an imminent threat such as a brake failure or tire defect, having your car become inoperable can lead to dangerous outcomes as well.

I got out of the car in shock....A neighbor came running over...I told him that all i did was put the car in reverse and then lost complete control. The car was still running...My neighbor went to turn off the engine...And said..."the car is still in reverse." he put the car in park and turned off the engine. A police repoprt was filed. The car was removed to a lot for inspection. The inspection did not reveal any problems with the car. As far as nissan was concerned the case ended there. They never interviewed any witnesses. The panel truck owner was just about to go to his truck...He heard the loud racing sound of the engine...As did my daughter who saw the whole thing... She was sitting at the dining room table with full view from a window...She thought i had a heart attack. And the neighbor who winessed the gear in reverse was never contacted. In light of the cases of "unexplained" sudden acceleration i find it hard to believe that nissan is satisfied with the results in this case. I cannot in good conscious let this stand without at least making a record of the incident. By the way the car was totaled. I would be curious to see a report from an accident reconstruction expert as to the speed the car reached from a dead stop....Traveleing about 45 feet..... That would cause the amount of damge done to that car. I would have to be standing on the gas pedal...Common sense says that did not happen. The airbags never deployed. Thank you. *tr

I was driving home from work taking same route as i've done for three years. It was my first time driving a recently purchased 2007 nissan versa hatchback. I moved into the turn lane and applied brakes to turn a 90 degree corner. The brakes failed. I had turned the wheel anticipating a normal turn however the car kept moving straight ahead. The car jumped a concrete island and came to rest. I knew immediately there was significant damage to the driver side although the damage was underneath the vehicle. It had to be towed to an auto repair facility approx one hundred yards from the scene of the accident. Police came but no citation was issued. Damage includes a broken front axle, damage to suspension, wheel etc. I contacted nissan to determine if my vehicle was included in the faulty brake fluid reservoir cap recall. Nissan states it is not. The brakes failed and there's no explanation. *tr

The sun visors (l and r) will not stay up on the hook, they fall down. Partially blocking forward view. Neither visor will hold at any position, including stored. They continue to drop down. I am presently using velcro to secure the visors in a stored or up position. There ia no apparent means of adjustment, and the dealers want $200 plus to fix. I have never had an automobile have this problem with the sun visors, and i have owned at least 11 cars since 1956. *tr

On june, 2008 i purchase nissan versa from an insurance auction. The damages on the vehicle were on rear end, and front bumper was missing. No damages on the front. I personally fixed the body damages and present the vehicle to salvage inspection. The vehicle successfully passed the test and was registered with restore salvage title. Odometer was showing little over 12000mi. The first 1000mi. I didn't have any problems. When the vehicle reached about 13000mi. I noticed a clunking and knocking noise in the front end of the vehicle and i felt it in the steering wheel. The noise was coming from passenger side. All these issues are acting when the vehicle is driving slowly and making right turn going up on the driveway or down on the driveway. I asked the dialer if the car is still covered with manufacture warranty although it has restore salvage title. The answer clearly no. I did some research on the net for recalls and surprisingly i found forums which discuss the same problems. Despite numerous complaints on the net and even after the dealer acts and tries to fix the vehicles by replacing multiple parts and components the problem are still existing. All this is very disappointing and i don't see any reasons to visit the dealer and trust them to fix it. I didn't see any recall information for the problems listed above. I'm european certified mechanic and i'm working with different vehicles, but i've never seen such a problem! I inspected my vehicle multiple times and could not find any reason for this noise. Today 07/08/2010 two years after i first notice this problem the noise is much louder. I still can't find any reason for this noise. It seems like nissan dealers don't have clear answer which part causes this noise. Please take all this into consideration and investigate further this issue. Please note there has not been accident with this vehicle yet because of the written above. To fill this complaint i'm putting today's date. *tr

Have had our 2007 versa for 2 1/2 years and have had no issues up until last week. When driving in the mountains had to stop, put car in reverse and car would not move. Put in drive and car moved but was sluggish. Later car drove normally. Took to dealer 6/4/10 found code p746 and replaced tcm. Dealer dealt with issue great. Just reporting in case of future recall issues or other people have same problem. *tr

While driving on entrance ramp and accelerating, vehicle suddenly died with no power to the steering, brakes or acceleration. Vehicle was in center lane had trouble steering to the right to get to shoulder. After turning key back and forth several times, the lights and dash came back on but would not start. Car cranked but would not start. Car was towed to dealership. Was told the fuse to fuel pump blew. That would not explain the electrical system shutting down. If i was in traffic, this would have caused accident with no control over vehicle steering. Waiting on cause for fuse to blow from dealer. *tr

At approximately 4:15pm i was driving east in a 2007 nissan versa on sr 18 at a speed of 35 mph. A truck ran a stop sign going south and i collided with his passengers side rear between the extended cab and bed. The collision caused significant damage to the front end of my vehicle. It also caused my transmission to shift or be pushed back because i can not put it into drive. Also, i believe my drive shaft was also damaged because i cannot take my keys out of the ignition. With this significant amount of damage and the speed of travel my complaint is that my vehicles airbags did not deploy. *tr

I lost two hubcaps. When i discovered the first hubcap, i took the vehicle to the dealer to have it replaced. I was told the cost would be $150.00. A years later, i was driving on a city street when i lost the hubcap. Another driver followed me until i stopped in a parking lot. The couple informed me where i lost the hubcap. They informed me they had two swerve to prevent the hubcap from rolling into their vehicle. I decided to change my nissan dealer service location to have my car serviced. When i arrived to have an oil change, they asked about my hubcaps. I told them what the previous service department informed me. This new service department informed me that the hubcap were covered under my warranty. The original dealer should have never tried to charge me to replace the hubcap. The second dealer tried to work something out for me since my car had less than 35k miles. But, there was nothing he could do. *tr
