2008 NISSAN VERSA Unknown Or Other Problems

Traffic stopped suddenly when I hit my brakes they failed to work and the airbags didn’t work either so I ended up hitting my head on the roof of the car when I ran into the truck that suddenly stopped in front of me at speed of about 50mph. I don’t feel good but have no way to get medical attention right now. And was just released from having some head trauma the day before the accident. My car was totaled in the accident so I don’t need additional recall information on it, and no insurance to fix it so now I don’t have any way to get a new car.

I park the Nissa Versa and I smell an over heating odor a lightly dense smoke appears over the hood. A thought comes to mind, “I just went to Jiffy Lube last week.” Suddenly two people are running towards yelling, “Fire, get out of the car.” I couldn’t believe it I was at a loss for words I couldn’t move until they literally opened the door. I started recording it. It’s insane I loved that car, it was payed off and it still looked nice. -it gets worse They tow the car to North Shore Towing. I report it to my insurance and the appraiser that attempted to see the car was not allowed access because I didn’t sign a release form so I go to the towing place and sign the release form. The appraiser goes for the second time and is refused entrance. Weeks went by so I...

THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW THE CORRECT GAS LEVEL AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK. EVERY DAY I START THE CAR THE GAS GAUGE WILL NOT MOVE, SO I RESTART THE CAR AND THEN THE GAS GAUGE WILL MOVE BUT I'M NOT SURE IF IT IS CORRECTLY SHOWING THE CORRECT GAS LEVEL.

VEHICLE IS UNDER 100,000 MILES AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS OUT! I WAS AT THE GROCERY STORE AND WHEN I GOT BACK TO MY CAR IT FLAT OUT DID NOT START NO ISSUES OR WARNING PRIOR TO IT NOT STARTING. I WAS STRANDED AT NIGHT WITH NO TRANSPORTATION.

THERE WERE 3 RECALLS ON MY 2008 NISSAN VERSA. TWO WERE FOR AIRBAGS AND 1 WAS FOR FRONT COILS/SPRINGS. I WAS GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS. NISSAN HAD ME DRIVE MY VEHICLE IN TO GET SERVICED, KNOWING THAT IT WAS A HAZARD TO MY LIFE. ON THE WAY TO GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED ONE COULD HEAR A LOUD POP, THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL AND WAS AT THEN ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR CPO AND THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS NEVER BLOWN COLD AIR. IT BLOWS ACCORDING TO THE CONTROLS, BUT THE AIR IS NEVER COLD. EVERY SUMMER I HAVE TO HAVE IT SERVICED. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT SEVERAL THINGS HAVE BEEN WRONG WITH IT OR CAUSE THAT. SOMETIMES I'M TOLD IT'S SOMETHING NEW, AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED IN THE PAST IS AGAIN/STILL WRONG WITH IT, CAUSING THIS. I'VE REPEATEDLY HAD IT SERVICED ONCE A YEAR (USUALLY IN SUMMER) SINCE PURCHASED. I'VE HAD IT CHARGED, FREON, HOSES REPAIRED, ETC. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS A MAJOR FAULT IN THIS CAR FOR ITS MODEL YEAR. THERE ARE MANY NISSAN VERSA DRIVERS FOR YEARS 2008 AND 09 IN MANY NISSAN DRIVER ONLINE FORUMS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. I'M CONVINCED THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND I DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR SERVICE AGAIN...

MY FRIEND HAD MY VEHICLE. SHE HAD JUST MADE IT HOME FROM WORK. SHE LIVES LESS THAN 10 MINUTES FROM HER JOB. SHE SAID WHEN SHE MADE IT HOME SHE WENT INTO THE APARTMENT TO CHANGE INTO A BATHING SUIT AND SOMEONE KNOCKED ON THE DOOR SAYING THAT THERE IS A LITTLE BLACK CAR SMOKING.
