| 2013 | SERVICE BRAKES | MY 2013 NISSAN VERSA HAD NO BRAKES AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT THIS MORNING. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. LUCKILY I WAS GOING SLOWLY AS I JUST PICKED UP A FRIEND FROM HAVING SURGERY AND WAS BACKING. A BRIGHT RED BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. I RESTARTED IT AND STILL HAD NO BRAKES BUT THE BRIGHT RED LIGHT WAS GLOWING. I TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL WITHOUT ANY CHANGE. SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF AGAIN AND THE THIRD TIME THE RED LIGHT WENT OFF AS I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND I SEEMED TO HAVE PEDAL AGAIN. SO I CALLED & LEFT 2 MESSAGES WITH THE SERVICE DEPT OF MY DEALER WHICH WERE NOT ANSWERED. I DROVE HOME VERY CAREFULLY(APPROX. 20 MI.) WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM SINCE I STILL HAD THE PATIENT WITH ME I PICKED UP FROM THE HOSPITAL. I CALLED THE DEALER A THIRD TIME & WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT. THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE & THEY WOULD TOW IT. THIRTY MINUTES LATER THEY TOLD ME IF THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM THE TOWING BILL WOULD BE MINE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I AM A 67 YEAR OLD SENIOR CITIZEN LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME & THEY WANT ME TO BRING IT TO THEM(APPROX. 35MI). *TR |
| 2009 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | WHEN I WENT TO PROCEED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AFTER BEING STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. IT MADE CLUNKING NOISES AND EVEN THOUGH I KEPT GIVING IT MORE GAS I BARELY MADE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I THEN STEERED INTO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN. THE ENGINE STARTED BUT I STILL HAD NOISES AND NO POWER TO MOVE FORWARD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW AND HAVE ALL THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE. THEY DID A THOROUGH INSPECTION AND SEVERAL ROAD TESTS TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND NOW HAVE A LOSS OF CONFIDENCE AND AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. AFTER MY BREAKDOWN I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND NO ONE IS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. |
