| The vehicle seems to experience high frequency gas pedal vibration that is felt only between 2500 - 3000 rpm at any speed as long as in this rpm range the vibration can be also felt in the brake pedal without applying the brakes in the same rpm range since there is one bracket for accelerator and brake. no vibration during brake application. the dealer tested the car and stated that another new 2012 versa has the same issue and will not continue to diagnose the problem since it is a waste of time. the problem causes uncomfortable pulsation that results loosing feeling in my foot at that engine speed. i had been an ase certified master technician and i never experience vibration in the gas pedal as an symptom in any of my complaints. after looking at the brake and gas pedal bracket it seems the bracket can flex to any sides with little effort but will stay stable in direction of the pedals travel. the bracket does not seem to be damage just poor design to hold rigidity to side motion. i am not sure if the bracket is causing the problem or other source is transmitting vibration. however, i think there should be no side motion since the assembly can fail due to material fatigue over time. engine and transmission mounts had been checked by myself and the dealer. *tr | |||

| Tl- the contact owns a 2012 nissan versa. the contact was driving approximately 10 mph approaching a traffic signal with the brake engaged, the vehicle jerked with force in reverse for a few seconds. the brake pedal was applied repeatedly before coming to a stop. the identical failure occurred twice. currently, the vehicle was being diagnosed at an authorized dealer and the data recorder would be used to determine the cause of failure. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 78. rvk | |||
