Nissan Versa wipers problems

Filed Jul 10, 2024 · VA

These vehicles have a cowl drain located on the passenger side under the wiper blades. The drain is really small so it clogs easily. When there are heavy rains, my car floods. It has happened on several occasions, including Monday 7/8/2024. It happened while driving in June 2023. I am not sure why Nissan hasn’t done anything to mitigate this problem. I am not even sure of this is the appropriate place to contract but I figured I would try. Thanks.

Water collects on spark plug coils and the car does not exceed 50 mpg, check engine light comes on. This has happened twice so far, the first time was 1/04/2024. I actually didn't drive the car for two weeks after the first repair, it just sat in the driveway in the rain and snow. The first time I drove it after the first repair, the exact same thing happened. "The water is diverting improperly through the windshield wiper cowl, collecting on cylinder and bypassing seal causing misfire." This is a serious problem that can lead to completely destroying the engine. I joined a few Nissan/Versa forums and this seems to be a common, ongoing problem for 3rd generation Versa owners. I have ordered a 2024 Versa SR and am hoping this issue has already been corrected.

When it rains, water flows through the filter cabin water to collect below the windshield and, when the collected water doesn't drain, it flows into the car on the front passenger side floor. The water trough runs under the windshield wipers runs from one side of the car to the other. the trough collects water and has the drains on each side get plugged, water collects in the trough and will slosh back and forth especially when you are driving and making turns. There is an entry hole (filter cabin, i believe) that then lets the built up water flow right into the passenger side floor. My carpet becomes wet from the front passenger side to the back passenger side. I have called my dealership and they have no clue. the Nissan dealership wanted me to leave my car for two days for a diagnosis and they do not give loaners during this time of diagnosis and repair.

Front windshield wipers stall for 20 seconds and wiper controller does not fix it. Manual 1x wipe will not turn off when in use and will sometimes cause wipers to stall. Intermittent use is not functional due to constant stalling. Car has to be completely turned off for 2 minutes at least for it to reset and stop the motor. This problem gets worse when it's cold outside.

There are serious design flaws on the 2018 nissan versa that allow water (I.e rain) to collect below the windshield and when the collected water doesn't drain it floods the car on the front passenger side. There is a water gutter under the windshield wipers that runs from each side of the car. It has two very small drains on each side. The drains get plugged by dust, dirt, etc. Normal stuff that can get on the car, and the water collects and builds up in the gutter. There is a hole for some cables in this area, above the gutter that the built up water can flow through right on the passenger floor behind the glove compartment. The water drains out especially when the car is moving/in motion. If there is a heavy rain, the entire car floor get flooded. The health danger is the water has nowhere to go inside the car and gets musty and moldy. This can be fixed for approx. $600, however it will likely happen again because all is done is unplug the small drain holes. Nissan allowed a serious design flaw in the 2018 versa sedan that leads to flooding and wet floorboards, a drain that is prone to clogging, and a hole for water to flow inside the car. I found other complaints about this on google. My car damaged happen april 2020, and other car owners has happened in 2019. Please help us.

The intermittent wipers will not speed up when adjusting the dial. They will only go one speed. They go very slowly and it's not enough for moderate to heavy rain. This happens when driving at speed in the rain on any street including highways.

I was on my way to work one morning at 430am I was on the interstate. I felt a pull in my steering wheel and heard a big popping noise and pulled over to check on it and everything to me at that time looked ok. I keep driving 5 more mins or so and I heard the noise again and at that time my passenger tire was flat, I had to call a tow truck which costed me 160$. I thought it was just a regular tire blow out till my I take it to get fixed and my suspension had busted. I had to replace the front bumper (get it painted extra 135$), passenger side fender windshield wiper box,passenger fender well, ABS senor cable, get the suspension fixed and the plastic piece that goes along under the doors.(the long piece along the bottom) a total of 670$ out of my pocket
