What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2017 nissan versa. While driving 35 MPH, the vehicle was involved in a chain reaction crash. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to slow down. The contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle, which then crashed into the preceding vehicle. The contact stated that the air bags failed to deploy and the seat belts failed to function as intended. A police report was filed.
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.
