2024 Nissan Versa problems

Filed Nov 2, 2026 · AZ · crash

On XXX, my son was driving a 2024 Nissan Versa (VIN: [XXX]), with approximately 12,000 miles, on [XXX] near [XXX]. During nighttime travel, the vehicle apparently encountered a possible patch of ice, lost traction, spun, and came to a stop on the roadway. My son attempted to restart the engine multiple times, but the vehicle would not start. The occupants noticed approaching headlights and exited the vehicle for safety. A bus passed without striking the Nissan. They returned to the vehicle and again attempted to restart it without success. Shortly afterward, another vehicle approached. All occupants exited the Nissan a second time. Within seconds, a semi-truck struck the stationary vehicle. Fortunately, everyone escaped before impact. Had they remained inside, the consequences could have been fatal. Following the collision, the airbags had not deployed. We are reporting two potential safety concerns: 1.Engine/Starting System: The vehicle would not restart after the initial incident, leaving it disabled and exposed to approaching highway traffic. The cause remains UNKNOWN. 2.Airbag System: The airbags did not deploy when the semi-truck struck the vehicle. We request an evaluation to determine whether the restraint system functioned as designed. The vehicle is located at [XXX], and may be available for inspection upon coordination. Nissan North America has been contacted and requested additional information. A technical diagnosis has not yet been provided. Whether any warning lights or messages appeared before the incident is UNKNOWN. Whether the vehicle's electronic safety systems have been inspected is UNKNOWN. We request that the federal safety agency investigate both concerns and evaluate whether a potential vehicle safety defect exists.

I am the first owner of this car. I noticed the windows would make an air like sound everytime im driving on the freeway. Ive owned many vehicles and have never heard this before. One day, which was yesterday. the window (passenger) was rolled up, and while on the freeway, it exploded all over my friend. nothing made impact, there was no shatter indication. it completely exploded. it turned completely white (a full shatter) in a half a second and shattered. nothing hit the window. the window was rolled up. and my friend was looking out it. my ac was on medium, and it was about 80 degrees. so i dont know if the glass wasnt tempered properly or what. but this was terrifying we got glass in our drinks, we got microcuts all over us. this was traumatic.

Issue: The rear windshield suddenly imploded while the defroster was turned on while on the road, causing significant fear and glass debris. We were driving when it happened, sending glass all on the road. Photos are available. It's currently at the dealership, awaiting repair. The car has only been inspected by the dealer as far as I am aware. There was no warning messages or lights prior to shattering, only a strong electrical burning smell moments beforehand.

Electrical/ECU failure while shifting gears (manual transmission), can be inspected by dealership. Vehicle stalled while going into 2nd gear and could not crank/start, happened in busy intersection, emergency tow had to be called, could have easily gotten hit/injured. Problem has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by dealer/service center. Has been inspected, but only to replace the blown fuse, not to solve the underlying issue. No warning lights prior to failure, only a fuse that keeps blowing (15 amp, slot 55), alarm/beeping does sound when key is turned (possible anti-theft).

When you take off from stopping, it jerks some and doesn't want to move. It also will stop in the middle of the road while driving. I bought this car new in 2024. It's very dangerous especially when I have children in the car. It has happened several times.
