2025 NISSAN VERSA — Complaint #2078138
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: SENSING SYSTEM: RADAR filed March 28, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2078138 (ODI reference 11651288) concerns a 2025 NISSAN VERSA and was filed on March 28, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 22, 2025. The vehicle had 50 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Washington based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as forward collision avoidance: sensing system: radar, 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. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
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 forward collision avoidance: sensing system: radar 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 2025 NISSAN VERSA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
