I’ve read other other complaints about this make/ model car and my car does ALL of those things. First the acceleration at Rand times my car will not accelerate whether it be pulling out of a parking space, sitting at a red light, making a turn etc. have took to a mechanic because this issue and my check engine light was on due to the mass air flow sensor or filter got that fixed and car still does the same thing. Second when playing music through Bluetooth the radio just randomly restarts after playing approx 3 songs. Next the forward and back collision , abs system lights make an appearance on the dash whenever they feel like it. The emergency breaking system forward and back breaks for me when nothing is behind my car or I’m a great deal behind another car. The car now cuts off while driving. My passenger side door does not lock when pressed on the key fob with all of the other doors. The remote start does not work AT ALL. The trunk does not open when pressed on the key fob either. The lighter port does not have any power. I did buy this car used for being 5 years old and having 71,000 miles I thought that I was getting a somewhat decent deal but that is not the case, I do not feel safe in this car nor do I get to enjoy any of the features of “having a newer car”.

What owners say
Sometimes when starting my car 3 lights illuminate the ABS, Forward Collision Warning, and the Parking Collision Warning. When this happens my car will not accelerate. It will not move when gas is applied or it moves very slowly. This happens in drive and reverse. It happens at random times and it has almost caused me to get hit when I attempted to pull out of a parking lot and my car all of a sudden would not move.
Abs light turn on and it’s malfunctioning
Every single day multiple times a day my ABS light comes on cars transmission jerks around or whatever it is. I have to pull over and turn vehicle off and restart to drive again. I may have to do that a few times in a mile. I think it's a safety concern. It could be in motion or stopped car wants to lunge forward
I was driving highway 101 camarillo to home. Its uphill I tried to press the gas but my speed gauge stock on 50mph no matter I tried. Then suddenly the ABS light and the car with zigzag appeared on my dash board. I bought my car used... The car have 38k+ mileage. I've researched online if the nissan versa having problem going uphill. I went to my mechanic they said mybe there a transmission problem go to the nissan dealership because my mileage is under 60k mybe im still on manufacture warranty... But I didn't bought the car on nissan dealer. I bought it on drivetime.
Engineering flaw on nissan's behalf. Water collects into the vehicles cabin and undercarriage and affected the electrical harness so much that it affected the braking system and ABS light to come on. I lost braking power and could of had a serious accident. My whole electrical harness is non existent at this point. The car is not driveable at this point. Their have been numerous complaints about this and it's unsafe to drive. Nissan needs a lifetime recall on this or needs to refund our money back. I've contacted nissan consumer affairs in hopes to get some reconciliation, but that remains to be seen.
The transmission completely quits working sometimes in the middle of driving down the road and then start back working just fine. It's like a dead paddle but I have replacement everything but the transmission. It has no check engine lights or ABS codes. It will only allow rpms up to 1 until it comes back then it starts working again it even kick off the cruise control and started blinking
The check engine light comes on and the codes come up saying it's the speed sensor the ABS light comes on the car user brake fluid too much the shock on passages side is totally out it was driving
Recall was on versa key switch, but now my speedometer not properly working, cruise control, ABS& brake lights also came on. The loyalty nissan mechanics can't figure out what's wrong
When car is in motion the brakes will not work and it slides. The ABS and traction control lights come on and the speedometer jumps. I've had 2 mechanics look at it and they say its because the axle nut backs off. Took it to gunter nissan on 6/6/19 and they refused to service it saying I had to contact nissan corporate but nissan corporate says I have to take it to a dealership.
