While I’m driving the car it starts swaying or jerking to the right sometimes to the left. Mostly when I press the gas to go faster. It’s very scary and I’m afraid it will run me in a ditch or into another vehicle.
Las revoluciones no se quedan estable cuando estoy manejando, el vehículo empieza a dar jalones y podría ser la transmisión.
ACCELERATES BY ITSELF WITHOUT PRESSING GAS AFTER HITTING THE BRAKE
SPEED CONTROL IS WAY OFF DOORS WON'T STAY CLOSED BACK HATCH UNLATCHED ON IT'S OWN FULL COOLING FAN WENT OUT STATIONARY AND IN MOTION HIGHWAY AND TOWN STREETS
2015 NISSAN VERSA NOTE HESITANT WHEN TAKING OFF. TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS. LATE SHIFT TIME. BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN TURNING OUT OF A NEIGHBORHOOD OR AT A LIGHT THAT MY CAR WOULD HESITATE AND I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT. I'M GUESSING IT'S THE TRANSMISSION. MOST OF MY DRIVING IS IN TOWN. I'M WORRIED THAT ONE DAY ITS GOING TO HESITATE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR OR BY MYSELF AND I WILL GET HIT.
MY VEHICLE IS SHIFTING AND REVVING IT IS BUZZING AND IT SHAKES WHILE IN MOTION IT TAKES TIME TO CHANGE THE SPEED. *TR
THIS CAR SINCE WE BOUGHT AL THOSE PART NEED TO REPLACE, FOR APROXIMA 6 MONTHS PARK IN THE GARAGES, OURS FRIEND KEEPS STATE TING THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT WORKING ALL YEAR 2019 TOWING AT LEAST 3 TIMES..
WHILE PRESSING DOWN THE PEDAL TO ENGAGE THE CAR TO PICK UP SPEED THE CAR PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 183 HEADING NORTH, I HAD TO CALL 911 TO GET ASSISTANCE FROM THE OPERATOR TO SAFELY SLOW THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE CAR ACCELERATED TO AN UNSAFE SPEED WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE HOME. THE CAR PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR BOARD. THE CAR WAS PLACED IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULL ON THE MEDIAN AND TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF. WHEN THE SHERIFF OFFICE ARRIVED AND LOOKED AT THE CAR THEY WERE ABLE HELP ME LOOSE THE PEDAL FROM THE FLOOR.
I WAS GOING ON TO THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS TRYING TO GO FAST TO MOVE IN TO ON GOING TRAFFIC AND MY CAR WOULDN'T MOVE FASTER AND STARTED MAKING THIS WEIRD SOUND LIKE A CHUGGING NOISE ALONG WITH A SCRAPE SOUND EVERY TIME I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS
DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, HOT DAY TEMP ON DASH READ 98 DEGREES. ALL ELECTRONICS SHUT DOWN, A/C SHUT DOWN. POWER STEERING SHUT DOWN AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO STEER CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING CAR ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I'M PREGNANT.
TAKATA RECALL WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED. WHILE DRIVING, ICAN HEAR WIND AS IF A WINDOW IS SLIGHTLY DOWN. THEY DROVE ANOTHER VERSA NOTE, CAME BACK AND TOLD ME THE OTHER VERSA NOTE HAD THE SAME SOUND AND DID NOTHING TO CORRECT THE SEALS ON MY WINDOWS.,IT WAS THAT WAY WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I EVEN POINTED IT OUT WHEN I WAS TEST DRIVING IT. SAFELLITE SAID THE SEALS WERE BAD.
WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ON, ALL ELECTRONICS SHUT DOWN EXCEPT FOR THE TURNING INDICATORS, ALONG WITH THE ENGINE. ACCELERATOR NO LONGER FUNCTIONED NOR DID THE BREAK ASSIST. AFTER PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE CAR OFF, IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN THROUGH TURNING THE KEY IGNITION. THE CAR REMAINED IN THAT STATE UNTIL I SHOOK BATTERY CABLES (WHICH WERE NOT LOOSE AND MAINTAINED FULL CONTACT BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER SHAKING). AFTERWARDS, THE CAR STARTED AS USUAL WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, ALL INSTANCES ENDING IN THE CAR POWER SHUTTING DOWN.
2015 NISSAN VERSA NOTE SV SUFFERS FROM FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT LIGHT UP THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. CONSEQUENTLY, WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS WORKING, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL ALSO ILLUMINATE AND CAUSE THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM TO BE DISABLED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. FIRST, FAILURE TO ILLUMINATE THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN BRAKING WILL FAIL TO ALERT DRIVERS THAT YOU ARE STOPPING AND PUTS YOU AT RISK FOR A REAR END COLLISION. SECOND, THE TRACTION CONTROL ALSO BECOMES DISABLED, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT YOU LOSE TRACTION, THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER ASSIST WITH DRIVING STABILITY. WORSE CASE, YOU ARE REAR ENDED DUE TO THE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT ILLUMINATING AND THEN YOUR CAR LOSES TRACTION DUE TO THE IMPACT, YOU TRACTION CONTROL IS ALSO DISABLED, THEREFORE YOU ARE AT AN EVEN HIGHER RISK FOR INJURY. THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED BY SIMPLE REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH SENSOR THAT SITS BEHIND THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT IS A 1 MINUTE JOB JUST TO UNSCREW THE OLD SENSOR AND SCREW IN THE NEW ONE. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, ALTHOUGH MINOR, DUE TO THE BRAKE LIGHT NOT TURNING ON. THE DRIVER BEHIND ME REAR ENDED ME, POSSIBLY DUE TO KNOWING I WAS BRAKING UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. I HAVE NOTICED THROUGH MY REAR VIEW MIRROR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHERE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WOULD BRAKE VIOLENTLY. I FINALLY REALIZED IT WAS DUE TO MY BRAKE LAMP SWITCH NOT ALWAYS WORKING. KEEP IN MIND, MY VEHICLE NEVER WARNED ME ABOUT MY TAIL LIGHT BEING OUT. TECHNICALLY, IT WOULDN'T, SINCE THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS ARE FINE. THE SWITCH FAILING DID NOT ALERT ME WHEN THE BRAKE LAMPS ARE NOT ILLUMINATING. I REPLACED THE PART FOR $68.36 WITH A GENUINE PART FROM NISSAN DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM AND NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. THE CAR IS BARELY TWO YEARS OLD, THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.
CAR THROWING P2135 CODE - WILL STOP RUNNING AT RANDOM AND WON'T RESPOND TO ACCELERATION BY GAS PEDAL. CAR MUST BE STOPPED, TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN IN ORDER FOR THE SENSOR TO BOOT BACK UP. VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS SHUT OFF ON ME ON THE INTERSTATE!! SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THE CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION AND RUNNING IN VARIOUS CONDITIONS, CITY/HIGHWAY/ETC.
MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING WHEN IT GETS TOO HOT. THE STEERING LOCKS UP, ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON IN THE CAR (ENGINE LIGHT ETC.) AND I CAN'T DRIVE. IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN WHEN I TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. I ALREADY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT IT HAS DONE IT SINCE I'VE TAKEN IT. IT HAS DONE IT WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH THE FREEWAY AND CITY STREETS.
DRIVING AS I NORMALLY DO ON MY NORMAL ROUTE, DOING ABOUT 30 MPH, AND CAR WOULDN'T MAKE THE CORNER. WENT OVER CURB, BENT THE RIM IN TWO PLACES, AND OF COURSE RUINED THE TIRE. IT WAS AS IF THE CAR WAS INTENT ON GOING RIGHT. NO EVIDENCE OF STABILITY CONTROL WORKING. HAVE NEVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THAT. CALLED AAA AND THEY CHANGED TIRE. DROVE TO DEALER, AND WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF OVER $500.00 TO REPAIR DAMAGE. ESTIMATE INCLUDED RIM, OEM TIRE, PLASTIC WHEEL COVER ($80.00) TOLD IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO HAVE A FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE SCARY THING WAS IT FELT LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE WHEEL. CRANKED STEERING HARD LEFT, CAR JUST HEADED FOR THE CURB. ROAD IS AN UPHILL TWISTY ONE THAT IS NORMALLY FUN TO DRIVE, BUT WHEN THE DRIFTED LEFT, AND I STEERED RIGHT, IT DIDN'T STRAIGHTEN OUT AND WENT OVER THE CURB.
PULLED INTO PARKING SPACE, SPEED 2-3 MPH., CAR WENT INTO FULL ACCELERATION, HIT BRAKES AS HARD AS POSSIBLE,CAR JUMPED 10 FOOT PARKING DIVIDER, SIDE- SWIPED LAMP POST, HIT PARKED CAR IN REAR WHEEL AREA TEARING OFF REAR BUMPER,MY CAR LURCHED TO LEFT AND FINALLY DECELERATED. TOWED TO PREMIER NISSAN OF STEVENS CREEK SANTA CLARA,CALIF. FILED CLAIM, AWAITING INSPECTION. CASE NO. 22964507.
