2008 Nissan Versa Brakes Problems

“There were 3 recalls on my 2008 Nissan Versa. Two were for airbags and 1 was for front coils/springs. I was given a loaner vehicle until parts were available to perform the repairs. Nissan had me drive my vehicle in to get serviced, knowing that it was a hazard to my life. On the way to get my vehicle serviced one could hear a loud pop, the vehicle was no longer operational and was at then engulfed in flames.”

“While I was driving on the 10 freeway headed east near downtown los angeles, my car's brakes suddenly did not respond, causing me to hit the car in front of me.

Pulled off the highway, opened hood and battery was on fire. Vehicle has original battery and mileage around 51,000. …”

“On january 26, 2015, I was traveling on the highway to take my daughter to school when a driver at least 2 car distances in front of me came to an abrupt stop which caused me to put on my brakes so that I will have enough time to stop at a good enough distance so that I do not hit them. However, after doing so my car kept sliding and I was unable to do anything and the car still hit the driver in front of me. We all left the scene in an ambulance. I do not know the status of the other driver, but I am suffering from severe back pain, some neck pain and I have headaches. …”

“Cold weather causes brake pedal to lock. Like someone put a cement block under the pedal, it will not push down and brakes do not engage. Must push hard to unlock and pump a few times to have brakes work. Car was in motion first time this happened and stationary the second time.”
