“Shifting from low to overdrive loses power dramatically. Takata recall my Versa is in motion on surface streets and highway travel! It feels as if my transmission is going to drop on the ground. Serios vibrations throughout the entire vehicle and extreme deceleration!”

“Me and my spouse were rear ended last night at a red light. Neither of the airbags functioned and her seatbelt didn't hold her to her seat, causing her to impact the dashboard with her face. Her nose is broken and she also has hematomas on her eyes and forehead.”

NHTSA complaint #10823645, filed 2016-02, 6,000 miles

“I was leaving work on private property and a 19-year-old hit the side of my car on passenger side with her manual truck. Nothing deployed, she slammed me very hard and the car should be totaled, it is over half what the car is worth at this time. Body shop repairs are 5,658 plus another 500.00 for deductible, plus 282.92. The car is not worth that much and should have been totaled. Now, I have problems with it on a constant basis.”
