2017 NISSAN VERSA — Complaint #1558301
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES filed April 16, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1558301 (ODI reference 11196625) concerns a 2017 NISSAN VERSA and was filed on April 16, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 1, 2019. The vehicle had 27,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Virginia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN VERSA cohort independently describe similar service brakes failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2017 NISSAN VERSA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I PURCHASED MY 2017 NISSAN VERSA IN JULY OF 2017, WITH 10 MILES ON IT AND THAT WAS THE 10 MILES THAT I PUT ON IT DURING THE TEST DRIVE. MARCH OF 2019 MY BRAKES START TO MAKE THIS HIGH PITCH SOUND WHEN I BREAK. MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE 28,000 MILES ON IT YET. TOOK IT TO MIDAS (BECAUSE BRAKES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY) AND THEY TOLD ME MY FRONT BREAK PADS WERE THIN, SO HAD THOSE REPLACED. THREE DAYS LATER THE SOUND IS BACK. SO MIDAS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THEY JUST TOOK ME FOR $200.00. MY CAR IS STILL MAKING THE HIGH PITCH SOUND WHEN BREAKING.
