Something making noise in the steering wheel inside when making turns ... and pass airbag sometimes off sometimes on when driving... and the last one the brake pedal is not smooth as other cars and also you can hear a crack on it when pressing on it.

The sensor does not recognize that someone is sitting on the passenger front seat. this happens when it is mobile.

Air bag light is constantly blinking...this means the airbag is non functional...this has been a recall item but my vehicle is not listed.... means airbag is non functional..

The airbag light has suddenly started flashing, warning me that neither the drivers or passengers side airbags will deploy in case of an accident. this is clearly a design flaw in the vehicle and i am afraid to drive it. i have heard of similar complaints about this vehicle. will there be a recall?

I closed the passenger side door and the air bag from the door exploded. just that easily.

4 recalls ony vehicle. i was rear-ended on the freeway when i was at a full stop because of traffic and a driver behind impacted me at her full freeway speed because she didn't notice the traffic had come to a full stop. i was whiplashed several times, hit my forehead on the steering wheel very hard a couple of times but the airbags did not deploy. there is a lawyer on the accident case but no one at nissan believed me when the airbags failed to delpoy- i was told the accident may not have been a strong enough impact but again the driver rear ended me at freeway speed (65mph min.) and i and the rest of traffic come to a complete for about 2 minutes. the only other thing i noticed and i notified nissan about was the passenger seat was not registering that a passenger was in the seat; the display showed that the passenger was not wearing a seat belt but that was not the case.

My airbag light is flashing, indicating that it would not deploy in case of an accident. is this a design flaw or a systems malfunction? i understand that this is a common problem with nissan versa year 2012 models.

Vehicle not in motion hitted in the back while parked , another time in motion left door. try to contact several dealers to schedule appointments for the recall they never contacted me back , waiting time was extremely long and schedules unavailable

Whenever i'm driving alone, the light that tell me the passenger air bag is on or off, goes on and off by itself. yesterday i saw an article on cnn, that nissan is recalling some vehicles because the air bag sensor in the passenger side is malfunctioning, and may prevent the air bag to not go off even if there is a passenger sitting there. the light does this only when the passenger seat is empty. if there is a passenger the light goes off and stays off. i did not see my 2012 versa included in the article. any help in this matter is greatly appreciated. thank you. *tr

Nissan versa 2012. this is my second cvt transmission replacement. i received the first transmission replacement in december 2013 and it has broken again in may 2014. the vehicle got stuck in gear and would not shift. it accelerated and decelerated without my foot on the gas pedal. the vehicle made front end noises and pops like it was going to fall apart. it's very unsafe to drive. the airbag and check engine lights came on. i took my car to the dealer and got the run around. don' t know what caused the problems and need more time to run test. the second transmission is under warranty and the dealer gave me every excuse to not fix my car. i was told, by the dealer, after seven days of waiting on repairs, that they (dealer) were waiting for a response from nissan headquarters to run test. fix my vehicle and run all the test you want but not at my sacrifice. the dealer said that they could not help me with a rental until nissan gave the dealer an answer as far as what test to run and if to repair the vehicle, which is under warranty. the dealer just said, sorry but we can't do anything. it wasn't until nine days later that the dealer gave me a rental car, only, after my dad lit the fire. i was inconvenienced getting off work, very late hours, with no transportation. i informed the dealer about my late night dangerous experiences. it should not take, let's see, i'm on day twelve as of this complaint to fix a warranty problem. these cvt transmissions have been a long, ongoing problem with nissan. this is a nightmare for all nissan owners and nissan should be held accountable for knowing about these issues and ignoring their issues. nissan puts the blame on the car owners so that they can pay. this is wrong. very disappointed in a reputable company. no longer reputable for me.

The driver side airbag were replaced but the airbag light still is blinking which could cause the airbag to explode.this light has been blinking for over 6 years... should be under warranty and fixed.. this apparently is a problem with the wiring harness in the steering wheel.as soon as i start the car the airbag light is blinking constantly
