NHTSA complaint #10971776, filed 2017-04, 29,400 miles“When I first purchased my vehicle (new) in 2012 for the 2013 Nissan Versa, I noticed that when taking off at a red light, the engine/trans sounded like it was a hesitating to go.

NHTSA complaint #11142561, filed 2018-10, 85,000 miles“1. From the beginning, wind noise was noticeable. Management from dealership checked vehicle and said noise was from design of side mirrors.

NHTSA complaint #10946981, filed 2017-01, 57,000 miles“There is a lot of hesitation when I press the gas pedal, often shaking and shuddering.

While idling at a red light, it shakes and shudders.”
