Nissan Versa 2018

• Recall 151847 [USA]: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
  Nissan north america, inc. (nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 nissan altima, armada, frontier, kicks, leaf, maxima, murano, nv, nv200, pathfinder, rogue, rogue sport, sentra, titan, titan diesel, versa note and versa sedan vehicles, as well as infiniti q50, q60, qx30 and qx80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 nissan gt-r and taxi and infiniti qx50, qx60, q70, q70l vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 111, "rear visibility."
  nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began november 11, 2019 and all affected vins should be activated. Owners may contact nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or infiniti customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
  owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.Safercar.Gov.

• Recall 138569 [USA]: If the vehicle stalls, it can increase the risk of a crash.
  Nissan north america, inc. (nissan) is recalling certain 2017 nissan nv200, sentra, nv3500 van, nv3500 bus, nv200 taxi, nv1500, nv2500 van, chevrolet city express, 2017-2018 frontier, versa note, and versa sedan vehicles that have a mechanical (physical) key ignition system. In these models, over time, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position to the accessory position, turning off the engine.
  nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the production information on the ignition switch, and replace it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began october 1, 2018. Owners may contact nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.
  owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.Safercar.Gov.

• Recall 126229 [USA]: If the component detaches during deployment, it may enter the passenger compartment and be a projectile within the vehicle cabin, increasing the risk of injury.
  Nissan north america, inc. (nissan) is recalling certain 2018 nissan versa note vehicles. During deployment of the side curtain air bag, a component of the air bag inflator may detach. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standards (fmvss) number 214, "side impact protection," and 226, "ejection mitigation."
  nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the side curtain air bags, free of charge. The recall began february 13, 2018. Owners may contact nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

• Recall 2019459 [Canada]: Visual system
  Issue: on certain vehicles, the rear view camera system does not return to the default setting when the transmission is shifted to reverse. This could cause a reduction in rear visibility if a driver had previously adjusted the camera display. Canadian regulations require that the rear view image returns to its original setting each time the camera is turned on. Safety risk: reduced rear visibility could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the rear view camera.

• Recall 2018440 [Canada]: Electrical
  On certain vehicles equipped with a mechanical key ignition system, a spring in the ignition switch could wear and break. This may allow the ignition key to inadvertently move from the on position to the accessory (acc) position while driving, causing the engine to shut off and the airbag system to lose power. The resulting loss of motive power, and change in steering and brake forces could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Additionally, in the event of a crash, this may also cause the airbags not to function. Correction: dealers will inspect the lot number of the ignition switch, and replace it with a new one if it is affected. Note: until the correction is performed, owners are advised to remove all objects from the ignition key ring, such as additional keys, key chains, etc.

• Recall 2017662 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the inflator diffuser installed in certain side curtain air bag modules may not have been manufactured correctly. If the vehicle were involved in a crash that warranted side curtain airbag deployment, this could potentially lead to the diffuser detaching. If the diffuser were to detach, it could become a projectile in the occupant compartment, which could result in the side curtain airbag to not fully inflate. Both of these conditions could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: dealers will replace the side curtain air bag modules.

To ensure accuracy and for your safety, it is recommended to do a free VIN recall check here or here [USA] - UK - Canada.

Bulletins are notices put out by manufacturers in conjunction with the NHTSA to notify the public of manufacturing issues or changes.

• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation as of 20210917

  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.

The contact owns a 2018 nissan versa. The contact stated while the vehicle was is for an inspection, the vehicle was returned with a malfunctioning check engine warning light on the instrument panel. The vehicle was diagnosed but was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure, and the contact was awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 74,723.

On may 29th, there was a really heavy down pour of rain. The next day when i got into my car, it was flooded. It rained for the next 3-4 days. I could hear water sloshing around inside the car frame. Water gushed into the passenger floor board from behind the dashboard. By the time i could vacuum the water out, it had soaked the entire front and back floors. The seats were absorbing water too, because they felt damp. I tried to start the car. It started but would not turn off. After i put it in drive and back in park, then i could turn off the car. I've had the car sitting and still water is draining out. The back floor board is filled with water again and mold is starting to form. When i contacted a nissan dealer repair shop, they said they had seen quite a few of these issues. They would have to remove the dashboard to repair the problem. This is dangerous. Water coming in behind the dashboard could cause a fire. The dealer repair shop also mentioned black mold forming, which is a health concern.

I was hit from the side. The collision was pretty bad, my car was totaled. It was the the front of the passengers seat. At the speed the crash happened, the force with which i was hit and the damage to the car i was unpleasantly surprised that the airbags did not deploy, they could have prevented injury. My car was in forward motion on a highway, i was hit by a turning car.

Driving on highway at least 3 different times. When exiting highway car slowing down. When getting to intersection brakes applied. Pulsating felt on brake pedal. Loud thumping noise heard from left front of car. Took cad still under warranty to dealer service. Dealer test drove car stated they heard or felt nothing so theres nothing wrong with it.

Airbag light light came on. Toke it to get checked the first time was told old codes came up but everything look good that if the light came back on i would have to take to a nissan dealership. One hour later light came on again. Took to a nissan dealership and was told it showed old codes and wires were crinkled. They fixed them and everything was fine for two weeks. Light came back on. Toke it back to them. They checked it again same old codes came up again and was told it was suggested by nissan that i needed airbag module but they didn't know if that would actually fix the problem but that was the first thing they had to do and it would cost a little over 1300 dollars. I don't feel i should fork out that kind of money for them to guess. Also know there is a recall on the airbags but was told not my car.

There are serious design flaws on the 2018 nissan versa that allow water (i.E rain) to collect below the windshield and when the collected water doesn't drain it floods the car on the front passenger side. There is a water gutter under the windshield wipers that runs from each side of the car. It has two very small drains on each side. The drains get plugged by dust, dirt, etc. Normal stuff that can get on the car, and the water collects and builds up in the gutter. There is a hole for some cables in this area, above the gutter that the built up water can flow through right on the passenger floor behind the glove compartment. The water drains out especially when the car is moving/in motion. If there is a heavy rain, the entire car floor get flooded. The health danger is the water has nowhere to go inside the car and gets musty and moldy. This can be fixed for approx. $600, however it will likely happen again because all is done is unplug the small drain holes. Nissan allowed a serious design flaw in the 2018 versa sedan that leads to flooding and wet floorboards, a drain that is prone to clogging, and a hole for water to flow inside the car. I found other complaints about this on google. My car damaged happen april 2020, and other car owners has happened in 2019. Please help us. *tr

I was stopped at a stop sign (about to get on the highway) and my car just shut off. No signs that it was going to do this, no spuddering or acting like it was going to die. Just shut of. I have read on forums that other nissan versa owners have had the same issue. Some while driving down the road. I live 64 miles from my job. Its a very dangerous situation for me if my car does that while i'm driving.

We were recently in a car accident in our 2018 nissan versa. We were going 55-60 mph when we swerved to avoid an animal. We broke, but our speed did not decrease much, as we went into a ditch and crashed into the side of this ditch, causing severe mechanical and body damage. The passengers suffered bruises and a concussion. The airbags did not deploy.

Multiple times car has shut off/stalled while driving. Driving home, trying to cross a busy highway, merged into turning lane, stopped to turn and car has shut off.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 nissan versa. The contact stated that the key failed to release from the ignition switch. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to antelope valley nissan (451 auto center dr, palmdale, ca 93551) where it was diagnosed that the ignition needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 45,000.

I am at 27000 miles, and i've started to experience intermittent jerking of the car between 1000-2000 rpm. It's almost as though the transmission skips a beat, in some cases slightly propelling the vehicle forward. If your foot is starting to go down on the brake, there is a moment the car suddenly slows down (you take the foot off the brake slightly), then propels forward. This jerking action can cause a severe issue with stopping at a red light or about to make a turn. At the same time, you hear the rev counter abruptly jumping changing as well.

I was sitting stationary at a stop light in traffic on a city street and my brake light, battery light, and oil light came on and i immediately lost power steering. I had to guide my vehicle off the road and had it towed to nissan south morrow for service. I had also had some minor ignition issues relating to turning my key and not seeing my clock radio become visible but was remedied by using my spare car key. Nissan south morrow said that the car drove well with no issues. Unsure whether it was actually looked at.

Tl* the contact owned a 2018 nissan versa. While driving 10 mph through an intersection, the contact's vehicle was t-boned by another vehicle traveling 55 mph. The air bags did not deploy. The contact was in and out of consciousness after the crash and was transported to a local hospital. The contact sustained injuries to the neck, back, spine, and was paralyzed for the first two days after the crash. The contact sustained multiple other injuries as well. A police report was filed. The whereabouts of the other driver were unknown. The vehicle was towed from the scene and deemed destroyed. The manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The approximate failure mileage was 19,000. The vin was unknown.

Shaking brake pedal, difficulty slowing the car down while driving

The vehicle has difficulty slowing down while driving. And brakes seem not to stop the car (weakened brake pads) it felt like i was losing control of the car. Also the car would loose power when stationary at stop lights. This could be very dangerous if this occurred on a highway or while in motion. I hope they don't rent vehicle out until mechanical issues are solved

Vehicle was parked when steering wheel locked up and ignition switch wouldn't move.

I had only had my car for a couple of weeks, was driving down the road going about 40 mph, and it completely stalled out on me. I was able to guide it to the side of the road. To my astonishment, it turned out to be my transmission. The nissan dealership told me they had to put in a whole new transmission. It scares me to think what would have happened if i had been going faster, or if someone had crashed into the back of my car. I later read where nissan had been having transmission problems for years.

Airbags recall. I was in a side front accident and no air bags came out.

Tl* the contact owned a 2018 nissan versa. While driving 55 mph, the contact struck a deer on the front passenger side of the vehicle. The driver's air bag did not deploy upon impact. The contact stated that the air bag deployed after the crash when the vehicle was pulled over on the side of the road. A police report was not filed. There were no injuries sustained. A dealer was not made aware of the crash. The vehicle was destroyed, but not towed. The manufacturer was made aware of the crash and provided the contact with case number: [xxx].

My 2018 nissan versa sv does not have a backup camera. Is this supposed to be upgraded by the dealer or manufacturer? Also it has a mechanical key system which i read was going to be recalled on oct 19, 2018 due to possible failure of the mechanical key system, is it true there is a recall being issued for this problem ?

In a minor fender-bender, at around 5mp from a dead stop, the front driver bumper hit a car in front, causing a scratch to the other newer-model car. Besides the headlight, bumper, hood and fender damage, the frame holding the engine was bent, causing so much damage that the repair costs equaled the value of the car, so it was a total loss. Obviously, there is a defect in the design, materials or workmanship that led to this much damage from a common minor incident.

Tl* the contact rented a 2018 nissan versa note. While driving approximately 5 mph and attempting to turn, the vehicle shifted into reverse on its own. The vehicle struck a wall and damaged the rear of the vehicle. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The rental company had the vehicle repaired. The contact mentioned that a strong odor of fuel was present inside the cabin while the vehicle was rented. The approximate failure mileage was 15,058. *tt consumer was a renter of the defective vehicle.*jb

We had leased this vehicle from hertz earlier in the day. That evening, i was driving down a hill and the vehicle's steering system had suddenly locked up. I was not able to steer and drove into a tree at a high rate of speed. My passenger and i both suffered significant bodily injuries and were taken to a hospital via ambulance.

No backup camera. Dealer: not all have them

I was performing a monthly inspection underneath my 2018 nissan versa in august 2018 to insure there was not any visible leaks. Upon my inspection i observed what appeared to be a small amount of oil located on the area where the engine meets the transmission. I brought the car to the dealership where i purchased the vehicle on 8-30-2018. Upon their inspection the service department stated it was "normal" for this area to seep / leak oil even on new cars. The service department further stated nissan would not cover under warranty unless the oil was " hitting the ground" the oil was wiped off at this time. Over the course of the following couple of weeks i checked area several times and observed oil reappearing. Each time i wiped the oil off , it continues to seep/ leak or reappear a couple of days after wiping area. I am concerned about sudden complete failure of the seal where the oil is reappearing and the potential for a fire hazard. Photo of issue attached.

My car will turn off completely while i'm driving. It is very unsafe, i purchased the car new and don't know why it's happening. Has happened multiple times now.

Airbags did not inflact when car had a hard impack hit to front of car. I was going 40mph or more when a car come into my line. Inoder to avoid the head on colision i shrived to the right and hit a in ground brick that were bounded into the ground. The front end and engine was damage. The car is now at coloial colision. This a concern to me this velical needs to be checked out. I dont feel safe driving this vehical agan.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 nissan versa. While driving various speeds, the vehicle jerked to the right. There were no warning indicators displayed on the instrument panel. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road to inspect the tires for knots. Nissan south of union city (4080 jonesboro rd, union, city, georgia 30291, (770) 964-4900) was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was taken to firestone (4599 jonesboro rd, union city, georgia 30291, (770) 225-1531) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was improperly aligned and that all four tires needed replacement. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

On nissan motors usa website, the lower trims levels of the versa sedan do not include backup cameras! Wasn't that made mandatory!?
