I was driving on the highway and my hood came up and hit my windshield. The windshield was cracked. The hood brackets were bent and the hood was dented. A trooper arrived on scene. The hood was tied down with bracing and needs repair. The hood latch gave way.

The arm that comes in from the firewall of the clutch master cylinder that has the little plastic clip that attaches to the rod of the clutch pedal, constantly pops off leaving you with complete loss of control of your car. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY ALL NISSAN VERSA OWNERS!! This faulty issue has happened to so many people that have even had brand new clutch master cylinders replaced. Many owners have had to create a fix themselves due to this faulty clip. This can be extremely dangerous while driving. In my situation yesterday in HIGH traffic I lost complete control of my clutch. I have uploaded some photos that another person posted on a forum to show the clip and rod and that they used their own concoction to fix this. This has caused many versa owners complete loss of control of their vehicles.

I have had two major instances where the Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF) has caused my vehicle to lose total power. The first incident occurred around midnight one night as I was heading home. I was unable to accelerate from a stop sign and had to put the car in neutral and coast in reverse to be able to get my vehicle out of the road and along the curb. The vehicle would not start on its own. I had to have the vehicle towed and taken to a mechanic where repairs were completed. WIthin two months of these repairs, I notice the problem seems to be returning. Three times I notice the car not accelerating correctly and one instance where I tried to press the gas pedal and had no response from the car to it. Ultimately these issue led to my coming home one night around 2am and the car simply would not accelerate at all. I had to pull over and again call a tow truck. My mechanic tells me the the MAF sensor is faulty, but the company handling the extended warranty wants to see the car orior to repairs being done. However, that means I am stuck waiting almost a week before repairs can even begin. Its very nerve racking having this issue on your vehicle. Its an intermittent problem that seems to creep up whenever it feels like it, I have to drive my car for work and I often keep late hours. I dont like the idea of breaking down at night in an area I am not familiar with Having thid problem affects not only my and others safety but my overall well being and financial stability

MULTIPLE STALLS OR ATTEMPTS TO STALL ESPECIALLY WHILE AC IS RUNNING.

CALLS TO NISSAN RESULTED IN BEING HUNG UP ON. DEALER IS REPLACING CVT UNDER WARRANTY. OLD HAS 48K MILES. AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS DUE TO RISK OF ACCIDENT OR ADDITIONAL FAILURES IN TRAFFIC THAT MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES.

APPEARS TO HAPPEN ONLY WHEN TEMPERATURES REACH OVER 105' THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING. THE STEERING GOES OUT WITH NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR WHEN IT SUDDENLY STOPS RUNNING. THIS WAS ON A CITY STREET. THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR AND HAS STARTED AGAIN THIS YEAR AS WELL. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA OFFICE AND WAS TOLD TO PUT A HIGHER OCTANE GAS BUT THIS HAS NOT HELPED. I HAVE TAKEN INTO THE SHOP TWICE WHERE THEY RESET THE ECM THE SECOND TIME WAS TOLD IT WAS VAPOR LOCKING. I AM VERY CONCERNED DUE TO THE FACT I DRIVE WITH CHILDREN IN MY CAR.

I HAVE HAD MY NISSAN VERSA 2015 SV SINCE APRIL OF LAST YEAR WITH A AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSMISSION IT CURRENTLY HAS 20,300 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE TWO PROBLEMS THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I DO NOT HAVE ANY SPECIFIC DATE OF WHEN THESE PROBLEMS OCCURRED THEY STARTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. WHEN I SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE, NEUTRAL, AND DRIVE THE CAR JERKS EXTREMELY HARD . ALSO WHEN I ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING GEARS BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT SHIFT UNLESS I RELEASE THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. THIS IS ESPECIALLY A PROBLEM AND SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS WHEN I AM GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AS I CANNOT SPEED UP PROPERLY WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE COMPANY OR THE DEALERSHIP ( BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE FRIENDLIEST OF DEALERSHIPS) ABOUT MY PROBLEM BUT I HOPE I CAN GET SOME KIND OF SOLUTION THROUGH YOU.

I HAVE A NISSAN VERSA SL MODEL, THE TRUNK DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. EVERYDAY I HAVE TROUBLE CLOSING THE TRUNK OF MY CAR, THE CAR MAKES A BEEPING SOUND ALARMING ME THAT MY TRUNK IS OPEN, I TRY CLOSING IT AND IT WILL NOT LATCH ON. THE ONLY WAY I CAN CLOSE IT, IS IF I HAVE THE CAR DOOR OPEN. SO I CLOSE THE TRUNK FIRST, THEN I CLOSE THE CAR DOOR IN ORDER FOR MY TRUNK TO CLOSE. THIS IS AN ISSUE AND VERY ANNOYING. PLEASE RECALL THE TRUNK LATCH.
