My brother has a 2013 S and doesn't have any issues with the a/c or brake. Now the car being tossed around, that's normal. Mine did it when I 1st got it. Still does it but not as much now that I have bigger wheels, wider tires, and lowered it. :thumbsup:
NHTSA complaints.
Reading through complaints on the NHTSA website regarding 2013 sedans. I've found some that I have issues with also. While I love my Versa these problems are nagging if to say the least. Anyone else having these issues with their new sedans?
The one about the A/C compressor causing the car to surge forward when you are stopped or coming to stop or the brake pedal feeling a bit loose and the ones about the car wandering and getting blown about in windy conditions I've also have experienced.

Crash:No Fire:No Number of Injuries:0 Number of Deaths:0
Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.
Vehicle Identification No. (VIN): Not Available
SUMMARY:
I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN STOPPED OR COMING TO A STOP, BRAKE WILL FEEL LIKE IT BECOMES DISENGAGED OR FEELING OF CAR SURGING FORWARD A LITTLE, WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING IS ON. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE MY FOOT IS HEAVILY ON THE BRAKE, SO THAT IT WILL NOT FEEL LIKE IT WILL MOVE FORWARD. A COUPLE OF TIMES, I HAVE THOUGHT THE CAR IN BACK OF ME HAD BUMPED ME. ALSO, THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS A LITTLE LOOSE. ALSO, WHEN THERE IS DEW PRESENT ON THE WINDOW IN THE MORNING IF I HAVE PARKED OUTSIDE AT NIGHT, THE BUILT-IN WINDOW BRUSHES/EDGERS WILL NOT CLEAR THE WINDOWS. THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE YOU WERE DRIVING AND THE WINDOWS BECAME FOGGY ON THE OUTSIDE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THOSE LITTLE BRUSHES, WERE JUST MEANT TO KEEP DEBRIS OUT OF THE DOOR PANEL AREA.

SUMMARY:
THE CAR WANDERS WILDLY AT SPEEDS OF 55MPH + AND YOU ARE IN ANOTHER LANE IF THE WIND BLOWS. HAVE BROUGHT TO DEALER, HAD TIRES ROTATED, SUSPENSION CHECKED TIRE PSI MATCHING ETC. IT IS DESIGN FLAW WITH SOME COMPONENT, WHETHER IT BE THE CAR IS SIMPLY TOO LIGHT, OR THE SUSPENSION IS TOO SOFT ETC. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN PULLED OVER BY STATE TROOPERS FOR "EXCESSIVE WEAVING", WHEN IT WAS WINDY OUT.
