11.6% of complaints about the 2013 Nissan Versa came in the first year, which is unremarkable for a 2013 vehicle — around the middle of the 210 model-years on record. The median complaint arrives at 5.3 yr in service. The most-reported system is power train (73 complaints), typically at 6.8 yr or about 85,904 miles.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Nissan Versa sedan vehicles manufactured June 9, 2011, to March 11, 2015, and 2014-2015 Nissan Versa Note vehicles manufactured April 23, 2013, to March 11, 2015. The affected vehicles have a center console trim panel that may catch the driver's shoe and delay the transition from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal.
A delay in the application of the brake pedal would lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.

I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MY MASTER CYLINDER FAILED . I DID SOME RESEARCH AND OTHER 2013 VERSA HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND THESES CARS WAS ASSEMBLED IN MEXICO WITH THE VIN 3N1 . I JUST CAME BACK FROM A LONG TRIP FROM NEW JERSEY I JUST THANK GOD MY BRAKES DIDN'T FAIL ON THE INTERSTATE I COULD HAVE OF BEEN KILLED . SOMETHING NEEDS BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
ONCE I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR SHUT OFF AND I WAS UNABLE TO USE MY BRAKES. THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING AND MY BRAKES WERE VERY SOFT AND DIDN'T HAVE A QUICK ENOUGH BRAKE RESPONSE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN MY NEW CAR AND NISSAN WON'T REPLACE MY CAR OR GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. *TR
WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN I PULLED INTO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WARNING LIGHT INDICATED THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS OFF LINE. TODAY IS 2/19 AND THEY ARE STILL HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING THE PART THAT IS LOCATED UNDER THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THE NUMBER OF FAILURES OF THIS PART MIGHT RESULT IN A RECALL. MY COMPANY HAS 15 OF THESE NEW VEHICLES THAT WE USE FOR OUR NURSES IN THE FIELD. MY VEHICLE IS THE ONLY ONE SO FAR TO HAVE AN ISSUE. ALL SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR. *TR
