“I would like to report that I purchased a Nissan Versa on april 5, 2015. The night I drove it home I noticed a few problems: first: the seat belt light stays on unless both front seats are buckled even if the drive is the only person in the vehicle. This is cause for the vehicle to not pass state inspection and the dealership I bought it from is telling me they took the car to two different Nissan dealerships and this is proper function for the Nissan Versa. …”
NHTSA complaint #10862109, filed 2016-04, 51,220 miles“The Nissan dealers say that the change of speed in this car cannot be felt, and so does the tv commercial. It isn't true. It is a danger in the streets. Everytime I go to the expressway I have to make sure that there isn't a car any close to be able to enter because when you try to speed a bit, it restrain itself and I already got scared with this experience. Even when you are in the city and you try to speed a bit to change lane, you can feel that in most of the cases it won't let you do it inmediately. …”
NHTSA complaint #10428730, filed 2011-10, 1 miles“My complaint is that the side impact airbags did not deploy at all nor did the driver's seat belt engage. The incident occurred on my usual way to work. While driving the car through a t intersection and making a left turn, my car was struck by a second car that ran the red light. I was traveling about 20 to 25 MPH. I was able to slam on the brake but not much else. The second car impacted the left side front wheel well area which resulted in injuries to myself and front passenger. As stated in the police report, it happened around 3:00 pm with clear weather and a dry road surface. …”
NHTSA complaint #10482808, filed 2012-10, 2,600 miles“When driving passenger seat belt randomly disengages from lock. I will even make sure it is fully engaged before taking off by pulling on the belt and it will still randomly become unlocked. This has been going on for about a year now and it is slowly becoming more consistent. No modifications have been done and lock appears to be cleaned and in good shape.”
