MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WAS CLOSED AND MY SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY 4 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY CAR WAS IN DRIVE BUT I WAS NOT MOVING, I WAS DROPPING A FRIEND OFF AT HOME. IT WAS ON A CITY STREET. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR A RENTAL UNTIL THEY COME AND LOOK AT MY CAR, WHICH THEY SAID WOULD TAKE 6 TO 8 WEEKS.

WE BOUGHT THE BASIC MODEL OF THE 2010 NISSAN VERSA. OUR CHIEF COMPLAINT IS THE FACT THERE IS ONLY ONE LOCK AND IT IS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I AM DISABLED THEREFORE WHEN I COME BACK FROM THE STORE OR SOME APPOINTMENT ETC OR HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN OR OTHER CHILDREN FROM THE FAMILY, I HAVE FOUND THAT EITHER SOMEONE HAS PARKED TOO CLOSE TO OPEN THE DOOR ( MANY TIMES AND WHEN YOU ARE IN PAIN THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO IN THE RAIN OR 90+ WEATHER IS WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO COME OUT AND MOVE A VEHICLE WHEN YOU HURT TOO BAD TO WALK BACK WHEREVER YOU ARE) OR THE OTHER PROBLEM IS LEAVING CHILDREN UNATTENDED WHILE REACHING THRU TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER DOOR BECAUSE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO PHYSICALLY GET IN TO REACH THE OTHER LOCK. YOU DON'T WANT KIDS WALKING ACROSS CLOTH SEATS WITH DIRTY SHOES. WE NEED KEYLOCKS PUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. IT IS A MATTER OF SAFETY IF ANYTHING ELSE. WHAT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AND YOU CANNOT UNLOCK YOUR CAR DOOR? WE DON'T LIKE POWER LOCKS BECAUSE OF THE GRANDKIDS AND CHILDREN WE HAVE WITH US THEIR AGES. BUT WE WON'T BUY ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT IF YOU CAN ONLY ENTER ONE DOOR. *TR

THE 2010 NISSAN VERSA 4 DOOR HATCHBACK WITH MANUAL DOOR LOCKS: ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR CAN BE UNLOCKED FROM THE OUTSIDE. PASSENGERS MUST BE LEFT UNATTENDED AS THE DRIVER ENTERS THE VEHICLE, REACHES ACROSS TO UNLOCK THE REMAINING 3 DOORS, AND THEN EXITS TO ESCORT PASSENGERS TO THE VARIOUS DOORS. ELDERLY, DISABLED AND SMALL CHILDREN SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO BE LEFT UNATTENDED IN ORDER TO ACCESS A VEHICLE. *TR
