Owner-reported complaints naming the electrical system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Electrical reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Over the past 4 years I have delt with my 2014 Nissan Versa Note SV constantly stalling in the middle of the road. I have replaced the transmission, TCM, and brake light wiring harness. I have had the Nissan dealership assess my vehicle three different times for 3+ days. They have completed wiring diagnostics and determined that the brake light wiring harness is getting water into the wiring causing a short and blowing the #49 fuse under the hood that also operates the transmission CVT/TCM. Their solution was to replace the wiring harness. This was completed last week. It rained again the last couple days off and on. The fuse has blown again. This causes the vehicle to stall in the middle of the road. There is no advanced warning or messages that appear. The check engine light does not come on either. It is way too hot out for my new baby for the vehicle to stall and not be able to run. Cars begin honking and swerving around my vehicle. The vehicle has to be pushed out of the road. Fuse after fuse has been replaced. New light bulbs. New wiring harness and still the same outcome. Please help.

I have been taking my car to nissan since my purchase. I was having cooling issues, radiator issues, and car not starting. with all these issues and years of repairs..my CVT transmission finally went out. I had no clue as they were fixing and servicing this car. I call nissan affairs dept as i had to pay $5050.00 to replace it out of my pocket! Nissan states out of warranty 5 months ago!!. I inquired to why i was NEVER contacted about transmission issues and problems or the opportunity to be included in the civil action with this vehicle. They CLAIMED they had the old owners information which is a LIE as i have received prior documentation for warranty notifications in my name! excuse after excuse to not help me. that got me good with the 5050.00 for an ongoing issue for this vehicle. NISSAN does not help at all!

NEVER HAD ISSUES UNTIL NOW BUT I'VE BEEN RANDOMLY HAVING ISSUES WITH MY POWER STEERING LOCKING UP ON ME. IT'S A REAL DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE ONE MINUTE IT'S NORMAL AND DRIVABLE. THEN I MAY GET BACK IN THE CAR AND IT'S LOCKING UP AGAIN. I DON'T HAVE A REGULAR POWER STEERING PUMP,BECAUSE MY CAR RUNS OFF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. I JUST REALLY NEED HELP FIGURING OUT THE SOURCE OF THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA INFLATORS. NOT REALLY SURE IF IT'S CORRECTLY DONE. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I STARTED SMELLING BURNING WIRES. AFTER SMELLING THAT, THE AIR-CONDITIONING/FAN STOPPED BLOWING. NO HEAT, NO AIR-CONDITIONING, NO FAN, NO DEFROST. I PULLED INTO A HAD STATION AND CUT EVERYTHING OFF AND SEEN SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. I POPPED THE HOOD AND SEEN ABOUT WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM AND SEEN THAT THERE WERE WIRES INFACT THAT WERE BURNT.
