Safety Features

2007 Nissan Versa 4-DR w/SAB Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2007 Nissan Versa 4-DR w/SAB

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

No
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"i'm just curious as to this newest recall nissan has issues for certain versa sedans and hatchbacks. you see, both my front passenger and front driver (steering column) airbags both had to be replaced due to a recall. now, the side air bags are beginning to show up on the recall list yet when i enter my vin, it shows no active recalls. i'm not really a betting woman but i will say that if my driver and passenger were replaced, wouldn't it stand to reason that the side airbags should probably be included in this newest recall nissan has put out? i got two side airbags. one on my driver and one on my passenger. and i don't want little metal fragments exploding in my face if impact comes to my car. please let me know as it can take a while for my dealership to get the parts needed to replace the airbags. you know if two out of the four airbags have already been recalled, chances are the other two are next."
