Engineering flaw on Nissan's behalf. Water collects into the vehicles cabin and undercarriage and affected the electrical harness so much that it affected the braking system and ABS light to come on. I lost braking power and could of had a serious accident. My whole electrical harness is non existent at this point. The car is not driveable at this point. Their have been numerous complaints about this and it's unsafe to drive. Nissan needs a lifetime recall on this or needs to refund our money back. I've contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs in hopes to get some reconciliation, but that remains to be seen.

When I first got my car it was feeling like it was going in and out of gears (still do). My brakes aren't good and when I start my car from not driving for hours it make a loud noise.

I purchased my 2017 Nissan Versa in July of 2017, with 10 miles on it and that was the 10 miles that I put on it during the test drive. March of 2019 my brakes start to make this high pitch sound when I break. My car does not have 28,000 miles on it yet. Took it to midas (because brakes are not covered under the warranty) and they told me my front break pads were thin, so had those replaced. Three days later the sound is back. So midas did not fix the problem they just took me for $200. My car is still making the high pitch sound when breaking.

I've had to fix my brakes 3 times and it's only been a year, to to mention I'm still hearing a scratching sounds when I brake. So there's obviously something wrong with something else and I shouldn't be coming out of pocket this much for brakes.

I purchased my 2017 Nissan Versa in September 11th, 2017. Within 2 weeks, I began having brake issues. The car would screech when slowing down and make almost a grinding sound when making a hard brake. I took it to the dealer who I purchased the car from (abc Nissan) and they twice refused to fix it. Than I drove across town to another dealer (midway Nissan) who admitted that it was a known defect and said it simply needed more grease. About a week after being fixed, the problem continued. Two weeks later, I was on the freeway and attempting to slow down to stopped traffic when the brakes locked up and would not allow me to stop. I attempted to steer in the direction of the side lane, but was unable to avoid the collision with the car in front of me. The airbags immediately deployed and although no serious injuries occurred, I found that some papers I had in the car had somehow been torn. Although I was wearing a seat belt, my seat belt was nowhere to be found. I am glad I am alive and I am thankful that I was not injured (other than very minor knee injury) but I feel that both the brakes and the air bags present significant safety concerns. Previous years of Nissan have been recalled for the brake issues. My car only had 24 miles when I purchased the car and the brakes locked up and failed at 3,000 miles.

2017 Nissan Versa sedan fwd. Brakes are going to floor when pedal is pressed. It slowly floats to the floor but is not a reproducible act every time. Seems the master brake cylinder could have a porous side wall? will take to dealer to evaluate and possible replacement on warranty since 4000 miles on car.
