Description of the problem | There are serious design flaws on the 2018 nissan versa that allow water (i. E rain) to collect below the windshield and when the collected water doesn't drain it floods the car on the front passenger side. There is a water gutter under the windshield wipers that runs from each side of the car. It has two very small drains on each side. The drains get plugged by dust, dirt, etc. Normal stuff that can get on the car, and the water collects and builds up in the gutter. There is a hole for some cables in this area, above the gutter that the built up water can flow through right on the passenger floor behind the glove compartment. The water drains out especially when the car is moving/in motion. If there is a heavy rain, the entire car floor get flooded. The health danger is the water has nowhere to go inside the car and gets musty and moldy. This can be fixed for approx. $600, however it will likely happen again because all is done is unplug the small drain holes. Nissan allowed a serious design flaw in the 2018 versa sedan that leads to flooding and wet floorboards, a drain that is prone to clogging, and a hole for water to flow inside the car. I found other complaints about this on google. My car damaged happen april 2020, and other car owners has happened in 2019. Please help us. |
