“The fuel doesn't pump correctly as it should. The fuse burnt out. The automatic braking randomly activates for no apparent reason while driving. It also doesn't activate at all. The front end of the car lifts upward like a wheelie from a stop light. There was smoking and burning smell from under the hood.”

“I have a 2020 Nissan Versa and I purchased it in july. After driving it for a month or so I began to hear a squeaking noise. I took it in they said it was brake dust. I kept hearing the noise and I took it back in and they said it was the brakes. I went back to have them repaired only to find out that they said some hardware was missing from my brakes.I have been out here driving in this car with faulty brakes that left the manufacturer and that should have never been put out into circulation for purchase.”
