On 3/21/25 I was informed by Malik's Auto Repair that I need my transmission replaced after a diagnostic of my car making a vacuum noise. After researching, I found that many Nissan vehicles have been experiencing this problem. I contacted Nissan and they informed me that no recall has been made for my make and model. It is a safety issue because at any time the car could stop causing an accident or fatality. Also, I had to have my starter replaced on this car. My car would not start. I was out with my daughter and if it was not for me having AAA we would have been stranded. Nissan stated that this issue was fixed on my car prior to me purchasing it. There is no record of this issue being fixed on Carfax and I paid almost $600 to replace it. Nissan have not assisted me with anything. Now I have to try to come up with the funds for a transmission.

Car will only start sporadically. Had both camshaft sensors replaced, check engine light still on. Unable to predict when vehicle will start. Sometimes it will rev up but wont actually start. Dealership says it needs ECM and engine harness replaced. I have had to get it towed several times from several random parking lots or streets because it wouldn't start. Wont pass an emissions test even though sensors were replaced, check engine lights wont go off.

The driver side door lock was frozen and would not open with the use of electrical button inside of car, the remote, or manually with key outside of the car. I was trapped inside of the car and could not get out of the car through the driver's side door and had to climb out of driver seat over to passenger door to get out of the car. If I was older and had health problems I would of not been able to get out of the car. Very dangerous and should not ever happen to any car door. When I took my car into my mechanics for repair, there was another Versa that was brought in for the exact same problem, unbelievable. I did write to Nissan and they had a consumer affairs person call me. I spoke to a women and she informed me that Nissan did not have any recalls for the door locks. I expressed my concern for the safety and she told me that I should of taken the car to the Nissan dealer. I told her that I was not able to get into the driver's door and had my daughter climb into the car to drive to our mechanic to have it repaired as there is not a Nissan dealer nearby.

ENGINEERING FLAW ON NISSAN'S BEHALF. WATER COLLECTS INTO THE VEHICLES CABIN AND UNDERCARRIAGE AND AFFECTED THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS SO MUCH THAT IT AFFECTED THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND ABS LIGHT TO COME ON. I LOST BRAKING POWER AND COULD OF HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. MY WHOLE ELECTRICAL HARNESS IS NON EXISTENT AT THIS POINT. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE AT THIS POINT. THEIR HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NISSAN NEEDS A LIFETIME RECALL ON THIS OR NEEDS TO REFUND OUR MONEY BACK. I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN HOPES TO GET SOME RECONCILIATION, BUT THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

THE NISSAN VERSA 2017 IS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING IN THE ROAD BECAUSE IT TURNS OFF WHILE IT'S DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I FIXED MY CAR 2 TIMES AND IT KEEPS ON HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY MADE ME BUY PARTS THAT THE CAR DIDN'T EVEN NEED AND THE CAR BROKE DOWN 20 MILES LATER AFTER IT BEING 'FIXED'. NOW I TOOK IT BACK AND I HAVE TO PAY AGAIN FOR IT TO BE FIXED AND IDK IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS CAR.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
