FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Owners of the 2025 Nissan Versa report issues related to the vehicle's forward collision avoidance system. One complaint describes a scenario where the automatic braking system activated unexpectedly during a left-hand turn, leading to a crash and injury when the vehicle stopped suddenly, preventing the driver from avoiding an oncoming vehicle. Another owner reports that the forward collision avoidance sensor warning light illuminated during rain, displaying a message to check the safety map information, though this resolved when the rain stopped. These issues are reported at low mileage, with one instance occurring at approximately 50 miles. The complaints highlight potential safety implications, including sudden stops and sensor malfunctions, which may be of concern to prospective buyers.
Owners report issues with the 2025 Nissan Versa's engine, specifically during cold starts and acceleration. Complaints frequently mention the vehicle jerking and vibrating abnormally when starting cold, with these symptoms resolving as the engine warms up, yet acceleration remains impaired. Another pattern involves the vehicle failing to exceed 45 MPH and losing motive power, leading to limp mode activation. These issues are noted at low mileages, with failures occurring as early as 13 miles and around 3,800 miles. No safety incidents such as crashes or fires are reported, but the loss of motive power could pose a potential safety risk.
