Because many owners commonly drive 20,000 miles/year or more, Versa owners experiencing CVT transmission problems may find they are not covered by this settlement due to the mileage limitation.

My 2014 Nissan Versa began having electrical problems today at 3:15pm. My blinkers are coming on when I turn the head lights on and the bright light switch turns on with the blinker and is not on bright light mode. When I turn the lights off the inner lights around the inside panels of speedometer and other come on like they are supposed to when headlights are on not off. When I turn them off the inner lights go off around the speedometer. Whole headlight blinker system started going crazy when I was at sonic began in reverse to pull out and continued in drive to a safe parking lot continued in park and while driving on city streets. It all began with an extended warranty phone call about an electrical problems with my car. I went to my job interview then took it straight to the dealership I'm purchasing it from loyds used automotive where they sent me to chapman's automotive these places are located in hot springs Arkansas where all of this occurred. I later tried to call the warranty phone number back and it said nobody was available to take my call.
I was backing out of my driveway, and noticed that the vehicle started losing power and steering. The vehicle then shut off while driving. After this incident, I parked the car, and it stopped responding and would no longer turn on.
The car turns off while driving and waiting at a stop sign or red light. Studdering occurs with exceleration. There is also an electrical draw somewhere. If the car is not driven in 3 days, the battery must be jump started. We have replaced the battery. This has been an ongoing problem since 2017
Since purchasing the car in 2014. I had the body throttle replaced, the fan on the ac. Now the electrical motors for the doors to lock and unlock is going out. I truly feel when I purchased this car it was a lemon. Because I had only had the car for a couple of years when the dealership had to replace the throttle body and shorty thereafter, the dealership had to replace the fan on the ac. Now on 23 Feb 2020. I am on my way to church when I notice this loud noise and now I've been told the motor is going out that controls locking my cars doors. When the throttle gave out I was driving when I notice this loud noise. When the fan gave out on the ac, I notice that the ac no longer work and I attempted add freon and I was told that it was the fan on the ac. My major complaint today is the motor on for the lock/unlock. It's a shame that cars are only made to last a short period of time or at the lowest cost possible and the sell them for outrageous price over the fair market price. Sometime its just better to purchase a used car opposed to new vehicle that you think will last and but its not like that at all.

Bought 2014 Nissan Versa on 09/10/19. Had it checked out by mechanic and checked out good. Had for 2.5 - 3 weeks and engine light came on and started stalling while stopped. Had to turn headlights off when stopping and then turn them on again when car got going again. Took to aamco in louisville ky and they said it was neutral safety switch. Spent $400 to have replaced and things were good for a couple of days then started doing the same thing again. Very dangerous to have to turn lights off/on at night. Drove to ky this weekend to get car and bring home to mo to have fixed (hopefully). I cannot have my daughter in college 500 miles away from me in a dangerous situation.
On the morning of March 4th 2019, after existing the express way my vehicle seemed to slow despite being on the accelerator. After stopping at a red light, and I began to press on the accelerator the car would only roll. The vehicle had lost power and was at a slow roll. I continued to press on the accelerator at it was as if the car was dead. I contacted the dealer and I sent the car to them on a flatbed on Tuesday. After a day I called the dealership to find what had caused the malfunction. I was told that there was an electrical short that sent a signal saying 'I was on the break and not the gas". on picking up the vehicle I asked to speak to the mechanic, I expressed my confusion because there were no indication of an inoperative light bulb or an indicator in the vehicle to substantiate any failure. I was told "there doesn't have to be any warning or indication" by the mechanic. I contacted Nissan, a representative followed up and told me they would get back to me after talking to the repair service. When they did contact me again regarding my concerned all I was told is that the problem is resolved. I raised the question of how can a vehicle lose power and come to a stop without no indication and I was told "they don't have the answers". the car malfunction put my life in a dangerous situation and Nissan have neglected to acknowledge that the vehicle is faulty.
When put in park and key out of ignition the car will not shut off. The car continues to run for hours. It will eventually run out of gas and hopefully shut off.
The right rear stop light has been replaced 4 times and keeps burning out. Almost got hit by car because he did not see stop light on. Last time the bulb was replaced was two weeks ago. Need to replace same bulb again.

When I got in the car, I went to start it by pressing the brake. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor and the accelerator pedal did as well. It took about 10 minutes for them to release and come back up, before I could get my car started and drive back home. I was scared for my life it was going to stick again on my 2 hour ride back home.
I was going to pick up one of my kids and all the lights came on. The brakes, manual transmission, and the steering wheel did not work. I called the dealer and the pick it up and did a 24 point check up. The service agent told me on the phone that they called Nissan and they did a complete reset of the system. When I pick it up the service representative was no where to be found. I had some questions about what he told me, but he wasn't available. In my paper work all they put was that they did a 24 point check up and nothing was found. I hope this doesn't happen when I?M driving on the highway at 70 mph. I would like to get more information about this problem.
