“I purchased a 2019 Nissan Versa june of 2020 with only 9,000 miles on it from a licensed dealer. August of 2020, while driving at a speed between gear 4/5, all of my electric was lost(touch screen display, interior/dash lights) about 2 seconds later all lights returned. This occurred again in october of 2020. Same conditions. There were no other issues with the vehicle, no check engine lights, nothing. Then again in december of 2020, same issue. Since december, I noticed my vehicle hesitating more and more to turn the engine on when starting. …”

“On several occasions while driving on minor icy or snowy roads (not extremely slick) when I depress the brakes the car does not stop or slow. I hear a rattlling noise in the front of the car that I am told is the vehicle dynamic control system engaging. I press down on the brake and the rattlling continues but the car does not slow or stop. I have narrowly missed having two serious accidents when I had to pull of the road or into another lane to avoid hitting the car in front of me. I was not following closely, the car failed to brake on each instance for 80-150 feet. …”

“2019 Nissan Versa sedan has a transmission issue where you stop and immediately or within up to 3 seconds, there is a clunk. The engine is jumps forward, causing the engine to rock. In a range of years, up to 2017, there is a recall on the transmission. For 2018, which is just for that year, is a recall for that transmission. How can I find out if 2019 recall is in a preliminary stage at nissan and will be released later this year? I feel it's a safety issue because the transmission can stop working while I'm on the highway which could cause an accident at high speeds. …”
