Started the versa after being parked for at least 30 minutes and was exiting a shopping center. Exit requires driving up a significant incline to access busy three lane road. At the crest of the hill, during pause waiting for access point to enter traffic, versa would not move even with excellerator depressed. Tried several times and versa instead rolled backwards, gaining momentum while going down hill backwards. Brakes failed, pressed all the way to the floor and would not stop car until a curb was hit. Later, exiting the same location and crossed in 2 lanes, the versa running but the transmission would not move the car. Zero rpms. Car stopped dead in its tracks and would not move even shifting gears trying anything and everything to get out of the oncoming traffic. After several attempts to move the car, the versa died. Versa then would not start and only made 'clicking noises'. Five people in the car all at risk during this serious drivability concern. Once able to restart the car, the trans and engine sinked and versa then drivable. Exited the roadway. Drove the vehicle in less populated area to the dealership. This all following a complaint to the dealer in may that the transmission was making unusal noises which they claimed was normal for the 2014 CVT.
Returning from state line my mother and two aunts where driving back to la on the freeway when trafic slowed before approaching a downhill grade when my aunt went to brake when the brake system was a total failure. The brake pedal went all the way to the flor. She then continued to pump the brakes still not stoping she put the car on nuetral and pulled on the shoulder and waited for the car to slow down. When the car stoped they brakes were still not working. The car stoped when they entered an uphill off ramp. They then called aaa and towed the car back to my house. The very next day july 6 I took my mothets car to the dealer and told them what happen n they proceeded to check the car onky to find "client stayesat time brake is hard/padel gors to the floor" then it says "test brake system, ok. No leak. Unable to diplocate this problem at this time." I did some reasearch and found articles related to the 2014 nissan versa break failures and proceded to this website. Heres my question what if the next time a nissan versa brake failuresresults in a major accident or loss of life. My mother this nissan versa im describing with incident is my mothers. Recall it and make it safe to drive. It will continue to fail you and I both know it will.
After driving on highway or interstate with no brake use the brakes howl very loudly when applied the first few stops. The howling has gotten worse, the stopping power is good and there is no brake fade, no pulsing in the pedal. Nissan refuses to fix under warranty saying brakes are a wear item, but my milage is all highway and interstate with very little brake useage.
When I got in the car, I went to start it by pressing the brake. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor and the accelerator pedal did as well. It took about 10 minutes for them to release and come back up, before I could get my car started and drive back home. I was scared for my life it was going to stick again on my 2 hour ride back home.

I purchased a 2014 nissan versa from maita nissan in sacramento (now called sacramento nissan) on september 12, 2014 and I'm just not satisfied. The VIN number is [xxx] I purchased a 2014 nissan versa from maita nissan in sacramento (now called sacramento nissan) and I'm just not satisfied. This car does not at all sound like a new car. I drove it off the lot with 9 miles on it, but immediately noticed how difficult it is for the transmission to smoothly get into gear. It's loud and almost sounds like it's completely broken. When I put the car in reverse I hear a loud clunking sound whether it's on a flat surface or in the driveway. I've discussed hearing this sound before 4 different times and also went to the nissan service department 4 times. I'm being told nothing is wrong. I didn't purchase a "brand new" car to have all of these problems. I called nissan consumer affairs and advised them about the issues and requested a buy back. After waiting 3 weeks for an answer, they advised me on 4/9/15 that they are not going to accommodate my request. I feel this car has an unsafe transmission and braking system. Please investigate this issue. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Step daughter stated brake pedal went completely to the floor without engaging the brakes causing her to crash into the back of another vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan versa. While the vehicle was at a complete stop, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled abruptly to the floorboard. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.
2 separate occasions the ABS has failed to function and has locked the wheels up solid until the pedal was released and depressed again. Also the air conditioning when on makes car pulse to the point that at a stop unless you are full depressed on brake the car will lurch forward as compressor kicks on.
I had an accident on 4/8 in the parking lot of my job and a truck slammed into my passenger side and no air bag deployed. She had accelerated due to a manual transmission in her truck. The estimates for body work was 28.92, 500.00 and 5, 658.32 more than half totaled I have problems with the car, the brakes, idiot light, steering and acceleration and jumps as you back out.
I was leaving work on private property and a 19-year-old hit the side of my car on passenger side with her manual truck. Nothing deployed, she slammed me very hard and the car should be totaled, it is over half what the car is worth at this time. Body shop repairs are 5,658 plus another 500.00 for deductible, plus 282.92. The car is not worth that much and should have been totaled. Now, I have problems with it on a constant basis.

I was driving up the street and when I pushed down on the brake it started to shake I only had the car for a day at the time, then within the next week the light around the radio dim in and out all the time and when braking sometime the brake will release on its own and the car will jump forward. When I took it in to nissan they said they could not duplicate what I stated was happening and that there was nothing wrong with it but till this day it is still happening and I spoke with the manager who also says there is nothing wrong with it.
Went out to start car push in clutch and car rolled out into street had brake on but did not hold and after starting motor the brakes worked ok with engine running.. Everytime I start the car if you are on a slope the car will roll and hit something. I checked threw out the day and found that when car is not running you have no brakes. You do not have any power brakes when engine stops they become hard immediately lose power assist not like other cars where you have 2 or 3 applications before brake loss. If put in a emergency and engine stopped running your brakes would not work and you will hit something causing an accident. I took it to nissan they said they have no solution and good bye. I called nissan headquarter and they said their tech's said it is ok and normal.
