Driving in snowy/icy conditions. Vehicle started angle towards oncoming vehicle (large power company bucket/boom truck). The trucks driver (there were more than one) saw me coming at him. The truck moved to the side of the road to avoid me. I collided into the driver corner of the large truck head-on. Bumper went into the engine. Tail-end of my vehicle swung around to meet his driver side with my passenger side. When my vehicle broke loose from the bumper, the whole front end came off and part of the engine came out. Once I collided with my passenger side, I spun around hitting the rear of my vehicle as well. I slid back across the road as I was spinning into a small area near a fence. That is where the vehicle stopped. I had to be cut out of the vehicle. Now.... After all this; the only air bag that blew was the curtain bag on the passenger side. The driver curtain airbag, the airbag in the steering wheel nor the passenger airbag in the dash did not go off. I have suffered body(physical and mental) damage from this accident. I feel that since I hit head-on, the driver airbag should have deployed. I do believe this is a defect that nissan does not want to admit to.
2010 Nissan Versa body complaints

Lh outside door handle has come loose. Will probably break soon. Comes loose when opening form outside.
While driving home from work my 2010 nissan versa began to make a rumbling sound. It has sense grown to a roar while stopped with the car in drive. I took it to the dealer where I got it and they said the rear muffler assembly had broken loose and was rubbing on the frame causing the noise and vibrations in the driver compartment. Upon a brief internet search I have found that many other nissan owners have experienced the same problem. Nissan claims it is due to road salt, but the only part that is rusting out is the flange leading to the rear muffler assembly.
We bought the basic model of the 2010 nissan versa. Our chief complaint is the fact there is only one lock and it is on the driver's side door. I am disabled therefore when I come back from the store or some appointment etc or have my grandchildren or other children from the family, I have found that either someone has parked too close to open the door ( many times and when you are in pain the last thing you want to do in the rain or 90+ weather is wait for someone to come out and move a vehicle when you hurt too bad to walk back wherever you are) or the other problem is leaving children unattended while reaching thru to unlock the passenger door because you actually have to physically get in to reach the other lock. You don't want kids walking across cloth seats with dirty shoes. We need keylocks put on the passenger side doors. It is a matter of safety if anything else. What if there is an emergency and you cannot unlock your car door? We don't like power locks because of the grandkids and children we have with us their ages. But we won't buy another nissan product if you can only enter one door.
I am very much motivated to write about nissan versa, the compact/economy vehicle. I have driven this car for about 8 hours and on both occasions it was the same dreadful experience. This car lacks 'balancing ability', specially on the highways, that means, if u drive it at until 40mph, it is fine & normal, beyond that it starts shaking so bad that you cannot even blink your eye or afford to take ur hands away from the steering wheel. The first time, I drove this car, I suffered the first accident of my life...and I pray to god that noone ever experiences that kind of an imbalancing. Basically the car totally lost control & I could do nothing to stabilize the car. That happened in delaware. Yesterday, april 30, I was driving it on indiana dunes highway & I-94, chicago, perhaps it was the wind, but it only made the shaking much worse. I had a friend drive it and he was scared to death to drive this vehicle. Driving this car is like riding on a roller coaster ride, but I was the one behind the wheels. If I had the money, I would definitely go ahead and sue nissan for even releasing this vehicle out for roads. Driving a nissan versa is like kayaking through the mirage of gorges.....you have to be attentive all the time, it tends to slip to the left side of the road and wont stay in one lane. It is like trying to keep your boat/ tube in one straight position while the boat keeps flying away...either left or right. I swear if I had suffered another accident yesterday, I would have sued nissan blindly, without a second thought. And I am surprised how come noone has sued them yet for selling a plastic toy for thousands of dollars!!!
