Nissan Versa grinding brakes problems

Filed Apr 5, 2026 · Brakes, Driver assistance · MD

I brought this car in August 2022 and now out of no where the rear breaking collision system is randomly malfunctioning. There will be nothing near my vehicle or in the line of sight and when you reverse it just slams on breaks and will continue to doo so very few seconds causing loud grinding. this will stop for a few days or weeks and randomly starts up again which causes problems when parking or backing up because its continuously slamming on breaks for no reason.

Additionally, the contact stated that the high-beam headlights were failing and were independently deactivating. The contact stated that the high-beam headlights switch had to be held manually for the high-beam headlights to remain activated. No warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local Pep Boys to be diagnosed. The local Pep Boys was unable to duplicate the failure. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired, because the dealer was unable to duplicate failure. The contact stated that the failure persisted.

A while ago my airbag light began flashing, we reset it a few times and it would come back after a week or two sometimes longer, either a flashing or solid light, it felt almost random. No codes came up when we had it ran, and then we took it to the dealership for inspection. It is the back of my driver seat, the airbag for the driver side back seat. I don’t know what the qualified number of complaints is, but please at least look into this. The most complaints this car has is something to do with the airbags. I’ve also had a similar ac/belt problem that was mentioned by the guy from Texas. He said the ac compressor caused a belt failure, mine was the other way around, my belt was squeaking for a while, had it replaced- month later my ac compressor gave out due to the belt operating at full capacity for the first time in a long time. It is available for further inspection. An airbag is plainly a safety risk, not to mention the part is “on extreme back order”, which leads me to believe that this a bigger problem then what is being reported here. The problem was confirmed by the dealership It has only been inspected by the Nissan dealership As also stated above, there were warning lights about its failure. It’s late, I apologize but I’m not proof reading this. Please look into it, please, it’s a very expensive repair that I won’t be able to afford for a long time, and I’m concerned about my back passengers..

CVT Shudders Jolts and grinds on stop and go traffic to the point where it feels like it’s going to destroy itself. The symptom occurs at very random occasions and the cars onboard diagnostics has failed to detect a problem with the vehicle. Vehicle had also turned off once suddenly when pressing accelerator from a complete stop(Has not happened ever since). Vehicle has no check engine codes or pending codes. Nissan Consumer affairs has failed to offer a resolution to this issue to my satisfaction other than pay out of pocket for diagnosing and repairing. Issues presented themselves prior to the warranty expiring and are only getting worse. Of course the dealer said it’s normal and most likely did not notate my concern (started happening very slightly and no check engine lights were on at the time of notifying them and even then it was a very random issue at that time) when I told them during my oil change. But now it’s too noticeable.

Nissan versa is tugging/misfiring during normal driving. The transmission does not shift properly, RPM gets stuck at around 3500-4500 at about 35-40 MPH. Once unstuck, the transmission shifts hard like a crunching sound, which sounds like metal grinding metal, not properly engaging shifting. The mileage is currently at 90k. The issue started around a month ago. The issue has gotten to the point that the vehicle is not safe to drive.

The vehicle was stationary, it will not start, it will not turn on. None of my lights have been left on, nothing has been plugged in. The first time I had it jumped it started and turned on. The belt was making a high pitched squealing noise. After it was initially jumped and after it was on & drove around & put back in park and turned back off. It no longer would start. I have tried to have it jumped again & it would not jump. I am concerned with the engine and fuel system. When I've tried to turn it on and it wouldn't it made sort of like a gargling noise after I had hit the start button as well as the gauges coming very slightly & shaking

I have a 2020 nissan versa and I purchased it in july. After driving it for a month or so I began to hear a squeaking noise. I took it in they said it was brake dust. I kept hearing the noise and I took it back in and they said it was the brakes. I went back to have them repaired only to find out that they said some hardware was missing from my brakes.I have been out here driving in this car with faulty brakes that left the manufacturer and that should have never been put out into circulation for purchase.

Starting at 50,000 miles the car started to make a squeaking noise when accelerating. The car was maintained by a mechanic and all belts were checked. There was no cars found at that time. After hitting approximately 50,000 miles I started having more issues that included louder noises from the engine, unexpected acceleration, and after letting the foot off of the gas pedal the car would slow down immensely. Recently the car was checked again by my mechanic and it was found it was the transmission that was at fault. A few times with the car in park had severe tremors too. Now with 75,000 miles the car is having strong jerks when being put I to reverse. Also, when accelerating I need to let off the gas and allow the transmission time to change gear.

Trying to leave for work, turn on my car and then there was a squeal (like a belt) and then the engine shut off, not the car (battery is working). I do this about three times to see if maybe the gas needed to be pressed or if the car needed to be in gear, same thing happened. I call my father for advise, and I wanted him to hear the noise before the shut off, so I turn off the radio, AC, everything. Then the car starts and stays on. Turns out that if I had the fan going it was shutting off the engine. I take it to sisk nissan and they inspect, say first that its the condenser and after the part is ordered and the car taken apart they say that the whole AC system is contaminated. The compressor had stopped working. One week without AC and one week in the shop to replace the whole AC system.
