Owners have filed 340 complaints
about the 2010 Nissan Versa with NHTSA between 2010 and 2026.
The largest single group is the airbags.
Across this model's run it ranks 8 of 19 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 71
Against the median year of the Nissan Versa. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 76
14.7% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — 41
24% of failures with a mileage on record happened under
36,000 miles, against a national rate of
29%.
NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a
system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and
knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.

NHTSA crash tests
The agency crash-tested this model year itself. These are its own
photographs and star ratings.
These stars come from the pre-2011 crash test programme. NHTSA
rebuilt the programme for the 2011 model year and states that
ratings either side of that change are not comparable — so do
not read these against a 2011-or-newer car's stars.

When owners complained
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single

NHTSA investigations into the 2010 Nissan Versa
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough
complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks
something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants.

Recalls on the 2010 Nissan Versa
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

always mirror the American ones.
Recall 201832840,603 units in Canada
Airbag
On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Note: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected. Additional Note: This campaign affects 2010-2012 Versa hatchback models and 2010-2011 Versa sedan models. The 2012 model year Nissan Versa sedan is not involved.

Recall 2015402110,604 units in Canada
Suspension
On certain vehicles, the front suspension coil springs may have been manufactured with an inadequate phosphorous coating, and/or could have low residual stress in the springs. This inadequate coating could lead to cracking due to coil-to-coil contact when the spring is compressed, which would allow the spring to be more susceptible to corrosion. In some instances coil spring breakage could occur. If ignored, broken front coil spring could damage the front tires and cause rapid air loss and/or tire failure, which could affect the driver's ability to bring the vehicle to a controlled stop, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace both front coil springs.
Recall 201043473,697 units in Canada
Lights And Instruments
On certain vehicles, the relays in the daytime running light (DRL) circuit could have become contaminated with silicon during the assembly process. This could, in some circumstances, cause one or both of the relays to stop functioning, which would cause one or both of the daytime running lights not to illuminate automatically when the vehicle is driven. Should this condition occur, the lack of DRL function may render the vehicle less visible to other motorists and pedestrians, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the relays for the daytime running lights circuit.

Thankfully for this, but now I don’t feel safe driving this car regardless when airbag be repaired. Been in this vehicle for 12 years with a defected airbag which should keep occupants safe instead putting my life and others in danger. Is there a guarantee when repaired this will be safe?

POWER TRAIN
The car was having slow acceleration, horrid loud noises for awhile but no issues were found during checks but parts were replaced to try and troubleshoot but the sound and idle and running issues still persisted. The first sign of severe major issue was when the car was started it jolted forward while still in park in a first start up. Turned off the car and restarted it and it repeated the same action and then I put the car into reverse but it wouldn't reverse. Took the car to my local Firestone and they said it had an internal transmission problem and I should take it back to the dealership. Within the month I went to the dealership in person and explained the issue and they said there wasn't a recall or service call for my car. That I'd have to pay for repairs and my car wasn't under warranty since the extra service plan I purchased already ran out. While coming home from work my car started to shudder and jolt and wasn't accelerating properly. I stopped at a gas station to see if the car smelled odd and to refuel. It started up but repeated jolting shudder and less than a mile down the road the car suddenly slowed by itself and stopped accelerating. I had to hook slide to the side of the road. I put the car in park and accelerated the engine responded. So I turned off the car and restarted put it in drive after multiple tries I got it to finally accelerate. Less than half a mile down the road as the car was going downhill the car started to shutter jolt again before coming to a complete stop at a light. No matter how long I waited it would not drive but would only reverse at that point. I had to contact family to help me push the car to the roadside and called a tow. The car currently sits in the driveway will start up and reverse but when attempting to accelerate sometimes it might drive for a few minutes before refusing to accelerate. I have the 2010 Nissan Versa SL hatchback with the CVT Xtronic transmission.

Replacement as part of recall warning light complaint and case filed. Air bag warning light came on 12/19/21, diagnostic 12/21/21 air bag control system needed replacement. Clock spring was replaced October 2019, 15 months after recall issues on Takata air bag system and full replacement completed 7/26/2018. Nissan cannot cover costs due to mileage on car. I noted wanting to have this on record that these issues began after the recall on air bags and replacement in 2018. 615-725-7000 12/31/21 car air bag issue repaired then air bag light would pop on 2 more times, once in January 2022 in which they said they forgot to ‘clear codes” and then in February 2022 when other issues surfaced, another part replaced. Then light pops on again 3/15/2022 and I notified the service advisor with Nissan who’d been helping me and took the car in the following week.I have already paid for repairs to the clock spring in October 2019 between $530-$600 and the repair done 12/31/21 totaling over $1000 which includes the diagnostic fee, parts and labor. $1600 is just the bare minimum of what's been paid out.3/30/2022: Nissan Versa 2010 was dropped off again at Nissan of Rivergate/Hayes Nissan due to air bag warning light coming on again. They are running another diagnostic. This has been a continual and consistent issue since the air bag recall and replacement in July 2018. I have paid for the clock spring to be replaced October 2019 and now other parts and many trips to this Nissan for a “fix.” Which now they are saying I may have to possibly pay again. This is unacceptable and seems that there may be other consumers dealing with this issue. Something is wrong with this recall and replacement causing these issues of safety.

Urgent airbag safety recall. Prior to airbag recall was in a 3 car accident. Family was with me, and no one was hurt. Thankfully for this, but now I don’t feel safe driving this car regardless when airbag be repaired. Been in this vehicle for 12 years with a defected airbag which should keep occupants safe instead putting my life and others in danger. Is there a guarantee when repaired this will be safe?

SOMETIME IN THE LAST 3 OR 4 MONTHS THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. TOOK CAR TO GARAGE NOV. 24,2020 TO REPAIR THE LIGHT AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE GARAGE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AIRBAGS BY NISSAN COVERING THE TIME FRAME MY CAR WAS BUILT . NISSAN REJECTED THE RECALL REPAIR BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS INSTALLED IN MY CAR WERE NOT TIKATA BRAND AIR BAGS. IT WOULD SEEM REASONABLE THAT ALL AIR BAGS USED IN NISSAN VERSA VEHICLES DURING THE RECALL PERIOD SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND REPLACED WHATEVER THE BRAND AND NOT LIMITED TO ONLY THE TAKATA BRAND.

THE GEAR/SHIFT SELECTOR WON'T ALWAYS GO INTO PARK, DRIVE OR REVERSE CORRECTLY. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN PARK, IT WILL SHOW ON THE SHIFT SELECTOR AND THE DASHBOARD BUT IT'S HARD TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE KEY WILL GET STUCK. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN DRIVE, IT WILL SHOW ON THE SHIFT SELECTOR AND THE DASHBOARD BUT IT WON'T IMMEDIATELY MOVE WHEN THE FOOT IS PUT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE SHIFT SELECTOR HAS TO CONTINUOUSLY BE PLAYED AROUND UNTIL IT WORKS BUT IT ONLY WORKS ON A TEMPORARY BASIS.

FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STALL FOR 20 SECONDS AND WIPER CONTROLLER DOES NOT FIX IT. MANUAL 1X WIPE WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN IN USE AND WILL SOMETIMES CAUSE WIPERS TO STALL. INTERMITTENT USE IS NOT FUNCTIONAL DUE TO CONSTANT STALLING. CAR HAS TO BE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF FOR 2 MINUTES AT LEAST FOR IT TO RESET AND STOP THE MOTOR. THIS PROBLEM GETS WORSE WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE.
