What 2013 Nissan Versa owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Dodge ram. Early 2000s grey with a lot of paint peeling and a gate type accessory across the back window of the truck. Lifted. They're vehicle is blowing so much black smoke I couldn't see while driving and puke to breath because I had a window open. There unsafely weaving in and out of traffic without signaling and while blowing tons of smoke. Could easily have caused an accident. Washington license plate number [xxx]. 5pm in east bremerton wa. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
No takata recall. Also muffler failed after 37,000 miles requiring huge cost to repair mulffler and a pipe
Muffler clamp got rusted out and broken. This is made out of stainless steel which got rusted where as remaining muffler is rust proof.
Hood latch failed, hood popped open while driving on a highway about 45-50 MPH, causing damage to both front fenders & hood brackets
They window shades in the front are tiny. They do not keep out the sun. They let all the sun enter the car so that you cannot see when driving. They went cheap on the window shades in the front. They don't protect the driver. They are tiny tiny tiny and I guess cost 25 cents to make. This is a cheap car, but safety things must be fair for the drivers protection.
Suspension: both sides front struts mounts and right side lower control arm, also called ball-joints are defective in just 3 years, right after the 36 months manufacture warranty expired. This is causing the car to bounce at moderate speed and more dangerously so on the highways. The vehicle would wander right to left uncontrollably. Steering u-joint defects: there is an ongoing noise while vehicle is driven and the steering column is shaking up unnecessarily and excessively.
Recall 15v507000 has never been done on my v ersa. If it is a safety issue it should be fixed. Nissan is being allowed to get away with failignj to fix safety problem son calls. I find that the federal safety agency is not fining nissan for failure to fix safety issues in cas. They let car profiteers get away with the safety problem on cars until people die. That is far too long and too wrong. I do not think congress meant foragency to do nothing buntil people die.
Heat shields- undercarriage vibrate, make all sorts of noise, then crack at bolts where mounted and have to be replaced. This was done on my vehicle and unless corrected will be a continual problem. Also, the plastic, poorly made, air intake at and near air breather vibrate and clatter terribly! This car has more undercarriage and engine compartment noise than any vehicle I've owned. I might also add the engine has valve tick, which does not seem to show it's ugly head when at the dealership.
I was driving in a left turning lane slowing down when all of a sudden I heard a voice asking if I were ok? I came to and noticed the air bags were deployed and my versa 's hood was smashed, along with the front sides. The car in front of me had a small dent on the rear bumper. Apparently I hit the vehicle in front of me. I am still in shock. I wear a size 14 shoe. I believe my foot came off the brake and hit the accelerator. My insurance company totaled my vehicle.
