My vehicle stops running whenever I turn on heater or A/C. When either is turned on, dashboard lights up with four or five other lights like battery, P/S, Brake, Temp, and other. When A/C or heater is not turned on, then my car is running. It looks like my vehicle may be defective in some way. I bought it only last year and I don-€™t understand why this particular control for heater or A/C is causing the problems. I believe some parts may be sub-standard and they may will cause some problems one day.

Vehicle hesitates when accelerating jerks car when getting speed when going at highway speeds car wanders back and forth hard to keep it on the road, clunking noise comes from cvt transmission when changing gears also produces severe vibrations when car is in motion getting worse and worse have been having these problems since I purchased car 1 year ago at 27,000 miles now have 70,000 miles and car is not very safe to be on the road I have replaced struts hub bearings control arms and tie rod ends along with motor and transmission mounts but the problem keeps getting worse and worse every day. Took it to local dealer and was told they couldn't do anything about it because it was out of warranty. The hertz car rental place that sold it to me was made aware of the problem took it twice to pep boys but I was told they couldn't find anything wrong I've spent about a 1,000 dollars in parts to try and correct the problem but still no luck

I have a 2016 Nissan Versa with approx 12,000 miles and have constant issues with the steering of this vehicle. The car veers off and has a mind of its own frequently and feels as if it is being pulled by wind. This is unsafe and causes controlling the car to be a problem. This began at first in early 2017 and is now a regular occurance

Everything time I stop and park the car to do a short errand and then after getting back in the car, I put the key in the ignition and it won't turn. I have to wiggled the key in the steering wheel for at least five (5) minutes or more. It is happening more frequent and often. I am very concerned.

I recently purchased a 2016 Nissan Versa and when I drive it, it veers to the left which is a matter of safety for my family.. took it in to service dept and they did an alignment but it is still happening...I am re-thinking my decision about this car because I refused to drive a unsafe vehicle.
