2014 Nissan Versa UNKNOWN OR OTHER

FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED VERY EASILY. STARTED FROM BOTTOM OF PASSENGER SIDE AND WHILE PARKED I SAY THE CRACKS SPREADING UP.

FUEL OR EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR. UNKNOWN OF ORIGIN AFTER MULTIPLE TESTS AT DEALERSHIP. OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS IDLING AND IN MOTION.

THE HEAT SHIELD COVERING THE EXHAUST UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND WAS REPLACED 2 TIMES. THE CRACKING OCCURS WHERE THE HEAT SHIELD IS HELD TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE BY SCREWS AND BOLTS. THE WASHERS AND BOLTS ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE PREDRILLED HOLES AND CAUSES STRESS FRACTURES AT THE HOLE. THIS CAUSES THE HEAT SHIELD TO COME LOOSE AND RATTLE AGAINST THE EXHAUST. THERE ARE OTHER MODELS WITH SIMILAR HEAT SHIELDS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE MATERIALS ARE THE SAME. THE RATTLE CAUSES DISTRACTED DRIVING AS WELL AS POSES A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD IF THE ENTIRE UNIT WERE TO FALL OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT COULD CAUSE UNSAFE VEHICLE OPERATION OR HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN VERSA NOTE ON 05/14/2014 I TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN IN OCALA FLORIDA. COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKES. NOW THEY ARE 10 TIMES WORSE, THE CENTER CONSOLE DOES NOT WORK,THE PAINT IS PEALING,AND THE PAINT ON BUMPER IS CRACKING. I WAS SIDESWIPED ON AUGUST 2014 AND THE BRAKES ALMOST CAUSED US HARM, I SWERVED OFF THE ROAD JUST IN TIME. I COULD NOT COME TO A SHORT STOP,DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT HOLDING THE ONCOMING CAR CAME OFF THE ROAD AND SIDE SWIPED MY CAR. AND THEN WENT BACK ON THE ROAD TO HIT 2 MOTORCYCLES HEADON. THAD CAR CAME OVER INTO MY SIDE OF THE ROAD,AND WAS COMING AT ME HEAD ON.THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. I AM GLAD I KEPT MY COOL AND SWERVED TO THE RIGHT ENDING OFF THE ROAD. IF NOT I WOULD BE DEAD RT NOW. ALSO I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE. I TOOK IT TO BE CHECKED AT A TIRE SHOP IN TEMPLE TEXAS.THE TIRE ASSISTANT SHOWED ME MY TIRE, BELIEVE IT? I HAVE A HARD TIME! THERE WAS A PLUG IN MY BRAND NEW TIRE. ON A BRAND NEW CAR PURCHASED FROM A NISSAN DEALER! THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. I HAVE TO GIGGLE AND GIGGLE THE CELL PHONE CHARGING UNIT TO GET THE PHONE TO CHARGE.IN BOTH INSERTS.THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY ALL THE TIME.......SOMETIMES ON A FULL TANK IT SHOWS 200 MILES AND OTHER TIMES IT SHOWS 369 MILES.......THE PAINT BUBBLED UP AND IS PEALING. I AM SURE THERE IS MOST LIKELY OTHER ISSUES.

SPONTANEOUS CRACK IN WINDSHIELD FROM BOTTOM EDGE ON PASSENGER SIDE. CAR WAS SITTING, NOT RUNNING. I WAS IN THE CAR DOING WORK RELATED PAPERWORK WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I HEARD A NOISE, LOOKED UP AND SAW A CRACK APPEAR AND SPREAD UPWARD.

I LIVE IN ARIZONA. I HAD COME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT IN SOME HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS GETTING READY TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. AT THE POINT OF MAKING THE RIGHT TURN THE CAR DIED. I COULD NOT COMPLETE THE TURN. BASICALLY I STARTED TO HEAD INTO OTHER CARS THAT WERE MAKING A LEFT TURN WHICH WAS PERPENDICULAR TO MY CAR. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANY CARS AND AT THE SAME TIME WAS LUCKY NOT TO BE HIT BY ANY CARS. THE CAR ENDED UP IN THAT LEFT TURN LANE. WHEN THE CAR STOPPED I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN WAITED A MINUTE OR TWO AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AGAIN. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WHICH WAS A 1/2 MILE AWAY. IT WAS ABOUT 105 DEGREES OUTSIDE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR THIS TYPE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE. I THINK ONE OF THE SERVICE BULLETINS MENTIONS EXACTLY WHAT I WENT THROUGH. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE ONE OR MORE PEOPLE WILL GET HURT OR DIE. I NEVER HAVE HAD ANY ISSUE REALLY OF ANY TYPE WITH THIS VEHICLE BEFORE. ALL THE MAINTENANCE WORK THAT IS NEEDED HAS BEEN DONE ON TIME. THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY. I DID NOTICE PROBABLY 30 MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING THAT THE CAR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. I KEPT THINKING I DIDN'T HAVE THE CAR IN THE CORRECT GEAR BUT I DID. THE CAR DURING THAT TIME SEEMED SLUGGISH.

I HAVE A NISSAN VERSA WITH NO HEAT WHEN IT IS COLD I HAVE BOUGHT IN TO THE NISSAN DEALER 3X . THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH HEAT TO KEEP THE WINDOWS CLEAR IN SLOW OR ICE. I AM TOLD ALL VERSA HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I EXPECT THIS TO BE ACTED ON. THE PICTURE IS AFTER DRIVING FOR TEN MILES
