MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA BEGAN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS TODAY AT 3:15PM. MY BLINKERS ARE COMING ON WHEN I TURN THE HEAD LIGHTS ON AND THE BRIGHT LIGHT SWITCH TURNS ON WITH THE BLINKER AND IS NOT ON BRIGHT LIGHT MODE. WHEN I TURN THE LIGHTS OFF THE INNER LIGHTS AROUND THE INSIDE PANELS OF SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER COME ON LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE ON NOT OFF. WHEN I TURN THEM OFF THE INNER LIGHTS GO OFF AROUND THE SPEEDOMETER. WHOLE HEADLIGHT BLINKER SYSTEM STARTED GOING CRAZY WHEN I WAS AT SONIC BEGAN IN REVERSE TO PULL OUT AND CONTINUED IN DRIVE TO A SAFE PARKING LOT CONTINUED IN PARK AND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. IT ALL BEGAN WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PHONE CALL ABOUT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. I WENT TO MY JOB INTERVIEW THEN TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP I'M PURCHASING IT FROM LOYDS USED AUTOMOTIVE WHERE THEY SENT ME TO CHAPMAN'S AUTOMOTIVE THESE PLACES ARE LOCATED IN HOT SPRINGS ARKANSAS WHERE ALL OF THIS OCCURRED. I LATER TRIED TO CALL THE WARRANTY PHONE NUMBER BACK AND IT SAID NOBODY WAS AVAILABLE TO TAKE MY CALL.

TAKATA INFLATORS. NOT REALLY SURE IF IT'S CORRECTLY DONE. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I STARTED SMELLING BURNING WIRES. AFTER SMELLING THAT, THE AIR-CONDITIONING/FAN STOPPED BLOWING. NO HEAT, NO AIR-CONDITIONING, NO FAN, NO DEFROST. I PULLED INTO A HAD STATION AND CUT EVERYTHING OFF AND SEEN SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. I POPPED THE HOOD AND SEEN ABOUT WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM AND SEEN THAT THERE WERE WIRES INFACT THAT WERE BURNT.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND LOSES ALL POWER AND STEARING

ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 4TH 2019, AFTER EXISTING THE EXPRESS WAY MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO SLOW DESPITE BEING ON THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, AND I BEGAN TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD ONLY ROLL. THE VEHICLE HAD LOST POWER AND WAS AT A SLOW ROLL. I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR AT IT WAS AS IF THE CAR WAS DEAD. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND I SENT THE CAR TO THEM ON A FLATBED ON TUESDAY. AFTER A DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND WHAT HAD CAUSED THE MALFUNCTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT SENT A SIGNAL SAYING 'I WAS ON THE BREAK AND NOT THE GAS". ON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE MECHANIC, I EXPRESSED MY CONFUSION BECAUSE THERE WERE NO INDICATION OF AN INOPERATIVE LIGHT BULB OR AN INDICATOR IN THE VEHICLE TO SUBSTANTIATE ANY FAILURE. I WAS TOLD "THERE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ANY WARNING OR INDICATION" BY THE MECHANIC. I CONTACTED NISSAN, A REPRESENTATIVE FOLLOWED UP AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME AFTER TALKING TO THE REPAIR SERVICE. WHEN THEY DID CONTACT ME AGAIN REGARDING MY CONCERNED ALL I WAS TOLD IS THAT THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. I RAISED THE QUESTION OF HOW CAN A VEHICLE LOSE POWER AND COME TO A STOP WITHOUT NO INDICATION AND I WAS TOLD "THEY DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS". THE CAR MALFUNCTION PUT MY LIFE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NISSAN HAVE NEGLECTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE VEHICLE IS FAULTY.

THE RIGHT REAR STOP LIGHT HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES AND KEEPS BURNING OUT. ALMOST GOT HIT BY CAR BECAUSE HE DID NOT SEE STOP LIGHT ON. LAST TIME THE BULB WAS REPLACED WAS TWO WEEKS AGO. NEED TO REPLACE SAME BULB AGAIN.

I WAS GOING TO PICK UP ONE OF MY KIDS AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE BRAKES, MANUAL TRANSMISSION, AND THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT WORK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THE PICK IT UP AND DID A 24 POINT CHECK UP. THE SERVICE AGENT TOLD ME ON THE PHONE THAT THEY CALLED NISSAN AND THEY DID A COMPLETE RESET OF THE SYSTEM. WHEN I PICK IT UP THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. I HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT HE TOLD ME, BUT HE WASN'T AVAILABLE. IN MY PAPER WORK ALL THEY PUT WAS THAT THEY DID A 24 POINT CHECK UP AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. I HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN I?M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. I WOULD LIKE TO GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR
