2014 Nissan Versa Steering Problems

“When car is in motion the brakes will not work and it slides. The ABS and traction control lights come on and the speedometer jumps. I've had 2 mechanics look at it and they say its because the axle nut backs off. Took it to gunter Nissan on 6/6/19 and they refused to service it saying I had to contact Nissan corporate but Nissan corporate says I have to take it to a dealership.”

“Vibrations felt through the steering column, seats and floor, whenever car is in gear and stopped at a light or idle. Vibration gets worse when AC or defrost is turned on. It goes away when I put the car in neutral. However car takes some time to move when shifting back to drive, and this can cause someone to hit you from behind. Taken to the dealer 3 times. I was told that this vibration is completely normal and there is nothing that can be done. Very disapointed to say the least.”

“I was driving about 30 miles/hour, there was a sound and the car shut down, engine stopped, lost power steering and brake became heavy, no lights in speedometer and indicators went off/black screen. Brakes were soft but I was able to stop. I restarted the engine and I was able to drive. Then I was on a freeway about 20 min later, driving 65 miles/hour and the car made a big noise, shook as if I drove on a pothole, and it was the same thing. No engine, accelerator didn't work, I was coasting, lost power steering, and hard to push down breaks. Power in the panels were off. …”

“Driving down the highway I found that the car would move sideways 1 and a half feet on a non windy day. When driving on the freeway and you are on concrete the car tracks 1.5 feet sideways right or left. When driving on a day when the wind is 30mph you get 3 to 4 feet drift right or left. Taking the car to Nissan for repair they found that yes it did drift and blamed it on the road and that Nissan had on fix. I do have 2 other cars which have the same size tires that do not do the change lane action that is with this car is doing. Other people said they noticed it to. …”

“Vehicle moves abruptly left and right when there are no grooves or wind at highway speeds. It's very dangerous and cannot be driven on the freeway safely. Nissan test drove vehicle. Acknowledged the problem and said that's just how the vehicle is and there is nothing they can do to fix it.”
