SUSPENSION
32 complaints
THE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE IN TWO IMPALING MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE AND LOCKING UP MY FRONT END RESULTING IN A LOSE OF CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE TOWED AND REPAIRED I LEARNED OF A RECALL BY NISSAN WHICH I HAD NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF BECAUSE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED UNTIL AFTER THE INCIDENT. NISSAN HAS REPEATEDLY DENIED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR REPAIRS IN DIRECT VIOLATION NUMEROUS SECTIONS OF 49CFR PART 573.13
Jan 16, 2019
REPLACEMENT SHOCKS DISTRIBUTED BY THE DEALER FOR A PRIOR RECALL ARE LEAKING.
Feb 28, 2018
AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WE PARKED THE CAR. WE NOTICED A PORTION OF BROKEN COIL SPRING LYING UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. AFTER INVESTIGATION WE FOUND THIS WAS A PORTION OF THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION COIL. I CHECKED THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND FOUND THE BOTTOM OF THE COIL IS BROKEN, BUT HAS NOT YET FALLEN FROM THE SUSPENSION MOUNT. I CHECKED THE NHTSA SITE AND LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FRONT COILS (NHTSA RECALL 15V-573). I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THIS RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR VIN, IT IS LIMITED TO CARS SOLD/REGISTERED ON THE EAST COAST. THIS CAR AS ORIGINALLY IN CA, THEN WENT TO WA, THEN GERMANY BEFORE IT WAS RECENTLY BROUGHT TO MD. THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, NOR DRIVEN OVER ROUGH TERRAIN; SO IT IS HARD TO COMPREHEND HOW BOTH COILS WOULD HAVE CRACKED. THE NOTED RECALL DEFECT OF 'INSUFFICIENT CORROSION COATING' IT LISTED AS ONLY APPLICABLE TO EAST COAST CARS; BUT THIS INCIDENT SEEMS TO POINT TO IT BEING A BROADER MANUFACTURING DEFECT.
Sep 07, 2016
I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH ON A SLIGHT DOWNWARD SLOPE WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY MADE A LOUD NOISE, THE VEHICLE WAS JARRED, AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE, I FOUND THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE HAD COME OFF FROM THE SUSPENSION, AND IT WAS MISALIGNED AND STICKING OUT AT AN ANGLE. IN ADDITION, THERE WERE SHATTERED PIECES OF VEHICLE PARTS ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTING ONLY ON THREE TIRES. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE STOPPED RATHER THAN ROLLING DOWN THE SLOPE AND COLLIDING WITH SEVERAL CARS AS WELL AS PEOPLE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE DID HAVE TO BE TOWED AS IT WAS NOT DRIVE-ABLE FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE REQUIRED OVER $640 WORTH OF REPAIRS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE CONTROL ARM, DRIVE AXLE AND SHAFT. SEVERAL MONTHS FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT, NISSAN OPENED A CAMPAIGN SPECIFICALLY FOR CORROSION OF THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN IN MICHIGAN FROM 2007 TO SUMMER 2012 WHERE THERE IS HEAVY SNOW AND SALT ON THE ROADS IN THE WINTER. FROM THE SUMMER 2012 TO NOW, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE DC METRO AREA. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2016 TO HAVE THE CAMPAIGN COMPLETED, WHICH WAS REPLACING THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE BY NISSAN, I WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN WAS UNABLE TO REPLACE SOLELY THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DISASSEMBLE OTHER PARTS NEEDED TO GET TO THE COIL SPRINGS DUE TO OTHER PARTS HAVING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE FROM CORROSION (EX. STRUT, BEARING, MOUNT, ETC.). AS A RESULT, MULTIPLE PARTS (NOT JUST THE COIL SPRINGS) HAD TO BE REPLACED.
May 05, 2016
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR THE SUSPENSION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT AND A MECHANIC MADE A GENERAL STATEMENT THAT A FRONT END ALIGNMENT WAS NECESSARY BEFORE THE RECALL REPAIR WOULD BE COMPLETED. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE THE SOLUTION TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE CONCERNING WHAT THE DEALER STATED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

WHILE DRIVING OUR MUFFLER STARTED MAKING A CLUNKING SOUND, I PULLED OVER AND REALIZED MY MUFFLER WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE EXHAUST PIPE ANYMORE, THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO HAD RUSTED. BUT MUFFLER AND PIPE ARE NOT RUSTED AT ALL, JUST THE CONNECTION. I HAVE HEARD OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR NISSAN DOING THE SAME THING, BUT NISSAN WONT TAKE THE BLAME AND RECALL THE COMPONENTS. PLEASE HELP. *TR
Nov 13, 2013
THE MUFFLER SOUND SEEMED QUITE LOUD ON THURSDAY, 12/27/12, SOMETHING I HAD NOT NOTICED BEFORE. THE NEXT DAY FRIDAY, 12/28/12, THE MUFFLER STARTED RATTLING VERY LOUDLY. I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPT FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2007 VERSAS. I HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF $400 TO FIX THIS. I'VE HAVE OWNED OTHER MAKES OF VEHICLES FOR OVER 12 YEARS THAT NEVER HAVE NEEDED A MUFFLER. NOW THAT I'VE INVESTIGATED, THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE, ALL SEEMED TO REPORT A POOR DESIGN. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR THE ENTIRE 6YEARS THAT I'VE OWNED IT AND THE BODY IS ACTUALLY SHOWING RUST THAT THE DEALER SAID NISSAN WOULD FIX. NISSAN REFUSED SAYING THE CAR IS 6 YEARS OLD. *TR
Dec 30, 2012
I REPLACED THE MUFFLER AND GASKET ON MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2012 THE POOR QUALITY OF THE MATERIALS THAT NISSAN USED FOR THE FLANGE BECAME BRITTLE AND CRACKED, COMPROMISING THE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL INTEGRITY OF THE MUFFLER AT APPROXIMATELY 62,600 MILES. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND TAKE IMPECCABLE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AND ALL MY VEHICLES. IF THIS SAFETY/EXHAUST/EMISSION PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED, IT MAY HAVE CAUSED INJURY (MINOR, MAJOR, AND MAYBE FATAL) TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE VERSA AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS/PASSENGERS OF OTHER VEHICLES. THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR WITH LOW TO MODERATE MILEAGE OR ANY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR OF CAR SINCE MUFFLERS AND ASSOCIATED PARTS HAVE LONG BEEN PERFECTED. *TR

EXHAUST PIPE WELD BROKE CLEANLY RIGHT AT THE FLANGE. *TR

ON 3/18/2011 I HAD TO HAVE MY WHOLE MUFFLER SYSTEM REPLACED BECAUSE IT BECAME SEPARATED FROM THE ENGINE AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AT 119K MILES. (I'M NO CAR EXPERT.) THEN TODAY I HEAR THE SAME LOUD NOISES AND MY VEHICLE SHAKING JUST LIKE A YEAR AGO. RIGHT NOW MY CAR IS AT 138K MILES. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN JULY OF 2006. I'M TAKING MY CAR IN TOMORROW TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN AND I WILL BE VERY SURPRISED IF IT IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE. I'M WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY MUFFLER SYSTEM COMING OFF AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR IN THE STATE THAT IT IS IN AND I'M DEFINITELY NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING WHILE PREGNANT WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR. I'M NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT HAVING TO SHELL OUT ANOTHER $700 TO GET THIS FIXED WITHIN A SPAN OF 13 MONTHS! BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, I HAVE READ SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. NISSAN CLAIMS IT'S SALT DAMAGE. IN THE PAST YEAR, I HAVE NOT DRIVEN ON ANY SALTY ROADS SINCE HAVING MY VEHICLE FIXED, SO I CAN'T SEE HOW IT CAN BE BLAMED ON SALT. OUR WINTER WAS SO WARM OUR ROADS DIDN'T EVEN GET SALTED THE WINTER SEASON AFTER I GOT MY MUFFLER SYSTEM FIXED THE FIRST TIME. I'VE ALSO READ THAT NISSAN - CANADA IS FIXING IT AS A MEASURE OF GOODWILL ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. I'D LOVE FOR NISSAN TO FIX MY CAR TOO SINCE THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I'M HAVING TO FIX THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I KEEP MY CAR WELL MAINTAINED AND THIS IS THE ONLY ISSUE THAT I'VE HAD THAT HAS BEEN RECURRING WITH MY VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
16 complaints
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, ALONG WITH DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED OCCASIONALLY FOR OVER A YEAR UNTIL THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PERSONAL MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 120,000.

THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM STARTING MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA (CVT) IN THE MORNINGS. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT WHEN YOU GO TO START IT COLD THE CAR WILL NOT START AND SOMETIMES TAKES UP TO 30 SECONDS TO START. OTHER TIMES YOU CAN BE DRIVING AT AROUND 25 MPH AND THEN THE CAR HESITATES AND THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO AND THE CARE HESITATES FOR ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS AND THEN PICKS BACK UP. I TOOK TO ABQ RELIABLE NISSAN AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT I CAN SEE BY THE NISSAN FORUMS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT'S NOT SAFE (CAR HESITATING IN TRAFFIC) AND NOT STARTING IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE HONDA FIT! *TR
Feb 28, 2012
I PURCHASED MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA IN 2007. IN 2008, I BEGAN TO NOTICE INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS(HARD TO CRANK ENGINE); THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PROLONGED CRANKING ATTEMPTS. IN MAY 2008, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO UNDERGO DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR; THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE A FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND REPLACED THE PART UNDER WARRANTY, FIVE MONTHS LATER, THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED. I TOOK MY NISSAN VERSA BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME REPAIR, IN NOVEMBER 2009, AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR MY CAR BEING THAT I WAS ROUGHLY 2,000 MILES OVER MY WARRANTY PERIOD. SINCE THEN THE CRANKING PROBLEM WITH MY NISSAN VERSA HAS BECOME MORE PREVALENT AND AS A RESULT I'VE RECENTLY HAD MY FIRST BATTERY REPLACEMENT BECAUSE I DESTROYED MY ORIGINAL BATTERY FROM EXTENSIVE CRANKING! THE NISSAN CORP. AND NORTH AMERICAN NISSAN SHOULD HONOR THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR A SERIOUS ISSUE! *TR
Oct 13, 2011
2007 NISSAN VERSA BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN OCT. 06 - HAS HAD "EXTENDED" CRANK SINCE DAY 1, BUT NOW HAS FAULTY FPR (FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR) FAILURE AT 54,434 MILES. WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 3/36,000. CAR WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY LEAVING ME STRANDED FOR 15 MINUTES OR MORE. YOU HAVE TO "PUMP" THE GAS TO TRY AND GET IT TO START AND HEAVY ODOR OF FUEL IN CABIN OF CAR RESULTS. HAD TO SPEND $101.86 TO GET IT DIAGNOSED TO SEE IF NISSAN WOULD HELP, WHICH THEY DENIED MY CLAIM. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON VERSA'S FROM 2007-2009 MODEL YEARS. SINCE MY CAR IS THE FIRST MODEL YEAR IT HAS THE OLD FAULTY FPR. AS A RESULT OF EXTENDED CRANKING AND HAVING TO CRANK CAR MULTIPLE TIMES IT HAS KILLED MY BATTERY WHICH NOW NEEDS REPLACED AS WELL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING, AS NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY NEED TO MAKE IT RIGHT. *TR
Mar 04, 2011
SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF FUEL EFFICIENCY AT AROUND 51K MILES IN JANUARY 2011. ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD TO START FILLING TANK UP MORE FREQUENTLY AND NOTICED IT WOULD SHUDDER AT RANDOM. ON FEBRUARY 8, 2011 I WAS SITTING IDLE IN A PARKING SPACE IN PARK WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND THE ENGINE SHUDDERED AND THEN SHUT OFF. BATTERY WAS FINE BUT ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT COME ON. WAS TOLD FUEL PUMP NEEDED REPLACEMENT, NISSAN WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE AS A PROBLEM AND SAID I WOULD BE CHARGED 3 HOURS OF LABOR TO REPLACE WHILE THE SERVICE STATION I USE SAID IT WOULD ONLY REQUIRE 1 LABOR HOUR. HAD IT REPLACED FOR ALMOST $600. I BOUGHT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A RELIABLE CAR, BUT AFTER THIS AND HAVING THE FUEL DOOR BECOMING DISCONNECTED FREQUENTLY, I AM NOT FEELING CONFIDENT. *TR

TIRES
15 complaints
1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? My passenger-side rear tire blew out, while I was driving on I-85 in NC. I have a photo of the tire while it was on the rack at the AAA repair shop. The temperature was normal outside, and I did not see any debris in the road. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This occured at 3:50 p.m. on a weekday, and the safety of myself and the drivers around me was at risk, when the tire blew out and it was difficult to control my car on the intersstate. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The car was towed to a AAA service center, and I have photos of the tire that blew out, as well as the driver's-side rear tire that is also deformed. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, but I emailed Toyo with a report that I thought there might be an issue on Nov. 9, 2023. I was towed to a AAA service center. I have photos and the reciept from having to replace both rear tires, and get a re-alignment. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No. This was a sudden blow-out on the interstate while traveling. However, the car did begin shaking, so I was trying to pull to the slow lane when the tire blew out.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA EQUIPPED WITH SUMITOMO, TIRE LINE: TOURING LS TIRE SIZE: 185/65/R15 TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MAKE AN ABNORMAL THUMPING NOISE. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE TREAD HAD SEPARATED AND THE PIECE THAT HUNG OFF WAS HITTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THAT THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED DUE TO LACK OF AIR IN THE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPLACED. NEITHER THE VIN NOR THE DOT NUMBERS WERE AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,950. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

FUZION TOURING 185/65R15 FUZTOUR BLEW OUT ON INTERSTATE 75 NEAR WILDWOOD FLORIDA. DRIVER SIDE FRONT. REPLACED UNDER PRORATED WARRANTY. SECOND TIRE FROM SAME SET BLEW OUT IN A VERY SIMILAR FASHION ON JUNE 6, 2014 ON INTERSTATE 75. LUCKILY, NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY. CONTACTED BRIDGESTONE AND THE TIRE CHOICE WHERE PURCHASED (BY PREVIOUS OWNER). SINCE I AM NOT THE PURCHASER, THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS THAT TIRES WITH LESS THAN 11,000 MILES BLOW OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

SOON AFTER OUR PURCHASE, 6/07, THE LIGHT CAME ON, ITS BEEN BACK TO MANY DIFFERENT DEALERS OVER A DOZEN TIMES,,.IT CANNOT BE DISCONNECTED, DISENGAGED. REPROGRAMMING IS ONE OPTION, REPLACING AT $150/VISIT PER WHEEL IS THE OTHER OPTION. WE HAVE HAD BOTH ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. OUR PROBLEM IS, THAT THE SENSOR WHEN IT FAILS, TELLS THE TIRE TO REDUCE PRESSURE. A PERFECTLY GOOD TIRE FILLED WITH 37 PSI WILL IN 24 HOURS COME DOWN TO 20 PSI... THIS IS A DISASTER AND I AM SURPRISED THERE HAS BEEN NO CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS... I HAVE SPENT TIME AND MONEY, REPLACED TIRES TO PROVE THE POINT, AND AFTER ALMOST 6 YEARS AM READY TO GIVE UP... SOMETHING SO SIMPLE AND STUPID CANNOT BE FIXED OR REMOVED.. NISSAN DEALERS BLAME IT ON POT HOLES, CORROSION, OR BAD MANUFACTURED TIRES. AMERICAN ROADS ARE FILLED WITH THESE PERILS AND THE SYSTEM DESIGNED BY NISSAN IS A FAILURE BECAUSE IT CANNOT STAND UP... I OWN 9 OTHER VEHICLES MADE AFTER 2007 AND NOT OF THE OTHERS HAVE HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS.. *TR

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Versa. The contact stated while driving at approximately 45-50 MPH, the steering wheel seized without warning. The contact stated that he had to apply pressure to the steering wheel. As a result, the vehicle crashed into an impact attenuator. No injuries were sustained. No police report was filed. No medical attention was needed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer nor the manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Aug 15, 2022
WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO THE STREET, THE STEERING SUDDENLY LOCKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE. THE CAR HAD STALLING ISSUES AND WOULD OCCUR WHEN THE CAR STALLED, BUT THIS TIME AND SEVERAL OTHER TIMES THE CAR DID NOT STALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE FRIOM OTHER DRIVERS. I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN ON THIS ISSUE.

MY TRANSMISSION WAS UNABLE TO UPSHIFT TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CLOSEST NISSAN DEALER VERIFIED MY CVT TRANSMISSION HAD ADEQUATE FLUID. I LIMBERED THE CAR HOME. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET I READ NUMEROUS POSTS OF MULTIPLE OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH NISSAN'S 2007-2010 MODEL YEAR CVT TRANSMISSIONS. NISSAN, ADMITTED TO THEIR FLAWED CVT TRANSMISSION BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS/120 K MILES. I FILED A WARRANTY CLAIM WITH NISSAN AS I WAS JUST SLIGHTLY OVER THE MILEAGE WARRANTY BUT WELL WITHIN THE TIME FRAME PART OF THE WARRANTY. NISSAN'S EXTENDED WARRANTY DOCUMENT CLAIMS THEY WILL ASSIST VEHICLE OWNERS WITH TRANSMISSION RELATED EXPENSES FOR THOSE TRANSMISSIONS THAT FAIL BEYOND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. MARISSA (615-725-7447) FROM NISSAN CONTACTED ME THIS MORNING STATING THAT NISSAN WILL NOT HELP COVER ANY OF MY EXPENSES I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ADMIT TO ME THE EXCESSIVE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE SEEN WITH THIS VINTAGE CVT TRANSMISSION COMPARED TO OTHER TRANSMISSIONS AND THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF THIS TYPE TRANSMISSION THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR INFERIOR DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF THIS CVT TRANSMISSION. AT A MINIMUM THEY SHOULD BE ASSISTING IN MY HUGE EXPENSE (OVER $ 3000) THAT I AM EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW. THEY CLAIM TO COMMIT TO THIS IN WRITING WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY VERBIAGE, BUT IN MY ATTEMPT FOR ASSISTANCE I HAVE BEEN FLATLY DENIED. I AM A VERY UNSATISFIED NISSAN CUSTOMER, FORTUNATELY FOR THEM THERE WAS NO PERSONAL INJURY TO ME OR OTHER DRIVERS WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A SAFE DRIVING SPEED ON MY WAY HOME. I ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE ON THIS MATTER FOR I AM CONFIDENT THAT THERE ARE AN EXCESSIVELY HIGH AMOUNT OF NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES WITHIN THE 2007-2010 MODEL YEAR, WELL BEYOND THE INDUSTRY NORM. THEY SHOULD HELP PAY FOR PART OF MY EXPENSES AS THEY COMMIT TO WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

KNOWN NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON 2007 NISSAN VERSA AND MANY OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. OUR 2007 VERSA STOPPED MOVING WHILE IN "DRIVE" IN AN EXTREMELY BUSY INTERSECTION - THANKFULLY IT DID NOT RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN "PARK" AND THEN BACK INTO "DRIVE" TO GET IT BACK HOME. NISSAN HAS OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED & NOTED THIS CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON THIER "NISSAN CVT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" WEBSITE AND HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO COVER EFFECTED/FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FOR 2 WEEKS AWAITING NISSAN AUTHORIZATION TO PERFORM THE WARRANTY REPAIR. THE LARGER CONCERN IS AS FOLLOWS - GIVEN THE FAILURE MODE WE EXPERIENCED AND THE ASSOCIATED DANGERS RELATED TO A CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE, WHY IS THIS NOT A FEDERAL MANDATED SAFETY RECALL? THIS SITUATION IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE CURRENT GM IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE IN MY OPINION. FAILURE OF THE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISION IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, SERIOUS INJURY AND EVEN DEATH. *JS

CLUTCH CABLE/CLUTCH PEDAL THE CLUTCH CABLE IS CONNECTED TO THE CLUTCH PEDAL WITH PLASTIC CAP THAT FITS OVER A METAL POST ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY. THE PLASTIC CAP WILL CHIP AND BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE CLUTCH PEDAL AND I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS SHIFTING FROM A DEAD STOP IN NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR AND NOT ON THE FREEWAY OR GOING DOWN A HILL.

CONTINUOUS BLINKING TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT THAT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN TIRES ARE CORRECTLY FILLED WITH AIR. THIS IS SECOND SENSOR I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE. FIRST ONE LASTED 6 YEARS AND SECOND ONE LASTED ONE YEAR. ALSO DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME 50 DOLLARS JUST TO TELL ME SENSOR IS BAD AND THAT INFORMATION I CAN FIND IN CAR'S MANUAL. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR. LOW MILEAGE 48,000 FOR AN EIGHT YEAR OLD CAR. THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS A BIG PROBLEM AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN. IT STARTED AT 15 THOUSAND MILES AND 27 THOUSAND MILES AND THEN I HAD TO KEEP TAKING IT TO DEALER TO GET RECALIBRATED...MORE MONEY. THEN THE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE FIRST ONE LAST YEAR AND NOW ONE YEAR LATER AND 7 THOUSAND MORE MILES IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER IS CHARGING 50 DOLLARS JUST TO LOOK AT IT. IT IS A DEFECTIVE TIRE SENSOR AND I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL THEM. IT IS ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

WHEN THE PROBLEM INITIALLY HAPPENED, I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH THE REAR DEFROSTER BUTTON HARD (AND SOMETIMES WIGGLE IT) IN ORDER TO MAKE IT WORK. HOWEVER, AFTER A WEEK OF DOING THAT TO GET THE SNOW, FROST, AND FOG OFF MY REAR WINDSHIELD, THE BUTTON NO LONGER WORKS (I.E. THE LIGHT INDICATOR DOES NOT COME ON, NOR DOES THE REAR DEFROSTER TURN ON). AFTER CHECKING ALL MY FUSES (IN THE HOOD AND CABIN) AND FINDING THAT THE FUSES WERE IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER, I BEGAN TO LOOK ON VARIOUS NISSAN VERSA FORUM SIGHTS TO SEE IF I COULD TROUBLESHOOT THE MATTER. AFTER TYPING MY PROBLEM IN, NUMEROUS NISSAN FORUMS POPPED UP DISCUSSING THIS EXACT PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE STATED THAT THE REASON THE REAR DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK IS DUE TO AN INFERIOR A/C CONTROLLER. I UNDERSTAND THAT TIMES ARE TOUGH AND COMPANIES WANT TO MAKE MONEY BY USING CHEAP PARTS, HOWEVER WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE ISSUE. I COPIED THIS FROM A PREVIOUS INCIDENT REPORTED. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL. *TR

HE MAINTAINED REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE AND THE DAY AFTER AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE WAS MADE, IT SUDDENLY CAUGHT FIRE IN A PARKING LOT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND HAD TO BREAK OPEN THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO DOUSE THE FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THE FIRE ORIGINATED FROM THE FRONT CONSOLE. A REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND CONCLUDED THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS LABELED AS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 20,000. UPDATED 6/2/09 *CN UPDATED 06/04/09.*JB

Jul 10, 2013
THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA CAME OFF IN TO MY HAND WHEN I WENT TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR. THIS CAR HAS 38,807 MILES ON IT.YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND ARE REDUCED TO CRAWLING IN OVER THE GEAR SHIFT FROM THE PASSENGERS SIDE TO GET IN TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY OR AN ACCIDENT.. ODDLY ENOUGH I SAW A GIRL IN A SHOPPING CENTER YESTERDAY. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE WAS MISSING FROM HER CARE WHICH IS JUST LIKE MINE AND I STOPPED TO TALK WITH HER.. OUR LOCAL DEALER QUOTED PRICES OF SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS.TO REPAIR MY CAR AS WELL AS HER CAR I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME RECALLS ON OTHER NISSAN'S LIKE THE ROGUE THAT HAVE A RECALL FOR THE DOOR HANDLE FALLING OFF AND ONLY "SERVICE ADVISORIES" ON OTHERS. I WILL NEVER BY A NISSAN AGAIN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IF YOU GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM ON THIS CAR THERE ARE A LOT OF POSTINGS FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THIS SAME CAR. *TR

POPPING NOISE HEARD IN SUSPENSION AND FELT IN STEERING COLUMN DURING LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS AT SLOW SPEEDS.

ON JUNE, 2008 I PURCHASE NISSAN VERSA FROM AN INSURANCE AUCTION. THE DAMAGES ON THE VEHICLE WERE ON REAR END, AND FRONT BUMPER WAS MISSING. NO DAMAGES ON THE FRONT. I PERSONALLY FIXED THE BODY DAMAGES AND PRESENT THE VEHICLE TO SALVAGE INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE SUCCESSFULLY PASSED THE TEST AND WAS REGISTERED WITH RESTORE SALVAGE TITLE. ODOMETER WAS SHOWING LITTLE OVER 12000MI. THE FIRST 1000MI. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED ABOUT 13000MI. I NOTICED A CLUNKING AND KNOCKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND I FELT IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE. ALL THESE ISSUES ARE ACTING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING SLOWLY AND MAKING RIGHT TURN GOING UP ON THE DRIVEWAY OR DOWN ON THE DRIVEWAY. I ASKED THE DIALER IF THE CAR IS STILL COVERED WITH MANUFACTURE WARRANTY ALTHOUGH IT HAS RESTORE SALVAGE TITLE. THE ANSWER CLEARLY NO. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE NET FOR RECALLS AND SURPRISINGLY I FOUND FORUMS WHICH DISCUSS THE SAME PROBLEMS. DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE NET AND EVEN AFTER THE DEALER ACTS AND TRIES TO FIX THE VEHICLES BY REPLACING MULTIPLE PARTS AND COMPONENTS THE PROBLEM ARE STILL EXISTING. ALL THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND I DON'T SEE ANY REASONS TO VISIT THE DEALER AND TRUST THEM TO FIX IT. I DIDN'T SEE ANY RECALL INFORMATION FOR THE PROBLEMS LISTED ABOVE. I'M EUROPEAN CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND I'M WORKING WITH DIFFERENT VEHICLES, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A PROBLEM! I INSPECTED MY VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES AND COULD NOT FIND ANY REASON FOR THIS NOISE. TODAY 07/08/2010 TWO YEARS AFTER I FIRST NOTICE THIS PROBLEM THE NOISE IS MUCH LOUDER. I STILL CAN'T FIND ANY REASON FOR THIS NOISE. IT SEEMS LIKE NISSAN DEALERS DON'T HAVE CLEAR ANSWER WHICH PART CAUSES THIS NOISE. PLEASE TAKE ALL THIS INTO CONSIDERATION AND INVESTIGATE FURTHER THIS ISSUE. PLEASE NOTE THERE HAS NOT BEEN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE YET BECAUSE OF THE WRITTEN ABOVE. TO FILL THIS COMPLAINT I'M PUTTING TODAY'S DATE. *TR

ON OR ABOUT MARCH 26TH 2009 I REPORTED A COMPLAINT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT A CLUNKING AND KNOCKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF THE CAR AND FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 32,000 MILES AT THE TIME. THIS WAS NOT MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO GET THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT, BUT IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM. AFTER AT LEAST 6 TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR REPAIR ATTEMPTS, STRUTS, STRUT MOUNTS, STRUT BEARINGS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE, THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT GO AWAY. THEY EVENTUALLY PLACED LARGE METAL WASHERS BETWEEN THE SUB FRAME AND CROSS BRACE SUPPORT BECAUSE THEY STATED THAT THE SUB FRAME BUSHINGS HAD SAGGED, OR WHERE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED AT THE MANUFACTURER. NOW THE STEERING FEELS LOOSE AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT IS IT FEELS AS IF THE STEERING COLUMN IS SEPARATING WHEN TAKING TURNS OVER UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES. *TR

I LOST TWO HUBCAPS. WHEN I DISCOVERED THE FIRST HUBCAP, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THE COST WOULD BE $150.00. A YEARS LATER, I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN I LOST THE HUBCAP. ANOTHER DRIVER FOLLOWED ME UNTIL I STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT. THE COUPLE INFORMED ME WHERE I LOST THE HUBCAP. THEY INFORMED ME THEY HAD TWO SWERVE TO PREVENT THE HUBCAP FROM ROLLING INTO THEIR VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO CHANGE MY NISSAN DEALER SERVICE LOCATION TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED. WHEN I ARRIVED TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE, THEY ASKED ABOUT MY HUBCAPS. I TOLD THEM WHAT THE PREVIOUS SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME. THIS NEW SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THE HUBCAP WERE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THE ORIGINAL DEALER SHOULD HAVE NEVER TRIED TO CHARGE ME TO REPLACE THE HUBCAP. THE SECOND DEALER TRIED TO WORK SOMETHING OUT FOR ME SINCE MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 35K MILES. BUT, THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. *TR

THE HUBCAPS ON NISSAN VERSAS ARE HELD ON MY PLASTIC TABS WHICH ARE EASILY BROKEN WHEN ROTATING THE TIRES. ONE TAB (OF FOUR) WAS DAMAGED ON ONE OF MY TIRES WHEN MY NISSAN DEALER ROTATED THE TIRES AT THE BEGINNING OF JUNE. I THOUGHT THE HUBCAPS WERE REPLACED SECURELY. ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT MY HUSBAND COMMENTED THAT ONE OF THE HUBCAPS DIDN'T LOOK RIGHT. ON THE 28TH I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, IN CROWDED TRAFFIC AT 75 MPH. I BELIEVE THE WIND CAUGHT MY HUBCAP. I HEARD A SOUND, THEN SAW SOMETHING FLIP UP ON THE SIDE OF MY CAR. I THOUGHT I'D KICKED SOMETHING UP FROM THE ROADWAY. THEN SOMETHING FLEW ACROSS MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. I LOOKED CLOSER AND SAW MY HUBCAP FLYING THROUGH TRAFFIC AND ACROSS THE INTERSTATE. I DID NOT STOP TO RETRIEVE IT AS I DID NOT FEEL IT SAFE IN THE CONGESTION. I WAS VERY THANKFUL THAT NO ONE SWERVED TO MISS IT AS IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A DISASTROUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE SINCE LOOKED ONLINE TO FIND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT MY NISSAN DEALER FOR A REPLACEMENT BUT HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. CURRENTLY I AM DRIVING WITHOUT A HUBCAP ON THAT TIRE. I WILL LIKELY REPLACE ALL THE HUBCAPS AS SOON AS MONEY PERMITS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
5 complaints
WHEN THE GAS TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL, THE VEHICLE HAS A BAD SMELL OF GASOLINE. AFTER DRIVING FOR FIFTY MILES, THE SMELL DISSIPATES. I TOOK THE NISSAN VERSA 2007 TO HANOVER NISSAN AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND HAVE NOTICED THAT IT IS A RELATIVELY COMMON ISSUE ON VARIOUS NISSANS. HOWEVER, NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND DOES NOT ISSUE ANY RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS SINCE IT COSTS $800 - $1,000 AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY JUST WANT TO MAKE MONEY SO THEY WILL NOT ISSUE AN SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THE FAULTY FUEL PUMPS. *TR

LOST ALL POWER TO VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING DOWN EXPRESSWAY AT POSTED RATE OF SPEED (65 MPH). NO POWER BUT ALL ELECTRICAL WORKING. ALMOST CAUSED A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT AS I TRIED TO MOVE FROM THE CENTER LANE TO THE ROAD SHOULDER. IT TOOK ABOUT 20 TRIES TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER 45 MINUTES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT THE CAR DID START. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR INTERMITENTLY. FINALLY TOOK IT IN TO A SHOP AND TOLD THEM MY HISTORY OF FUEL PROBLEM. THEY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME ABOUT ALL THE INFO ON THE NET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN NOT RECALLING. MANY REFERENCES TO MOVING VEHICLE FAILURE. COST OF THEW FUEL PUMP IS NEAR $1000. I THINK THIS IS WHY NISSAN IS NOT RECALLING. BUT SOMEONE WILL BE HURT OR KILLED FROM THIS NEGLECT. DID THE RESEARCH ON THIS AND FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP ON THIS AND OTHER NISSANS HAVE FAILED SINCE DAY ONE. TOO MUCH INFORMATION ON THIS ON MESSAGE BOARDS. NISSAN ISSUED A TSB BUT IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE PROTECTING THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS, OR THE DRIVING PUBLIC FROM THIS FAILURE THAT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING WHEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO SOUND OR OTHER INDICATION OF ENGINE PROBLEMS ASIDE FROM INABILITY TO ACCELERATE. WAS ABLE TO PULL VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AGAIN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND THAT THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. IN ADDITION, WHILE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE 2007, THERE HAS BEEN NO VOLUNTARY RECALL DESPITE MANY OTHER INCIDENTS (AS PER INTERNET SEARCH) OF OTHER VEHICLES LOSING POWER WHILE IN MOTION. THE INITIAL SYMPTOMS INCLUDE AN INABILITY TO START UPON INITIAL TURNOVER WHEREIN THE ISSUE PROGRESSES TOWARDS TOTAL FUEL PUMP FAILURE. I DID EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD TAKE A SECOND OR THIRD TRY TO TURN OVER BUT HAD ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE STARTER. *TR

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL, BEING CHARGED TO FIX!! I HAVE 2 AIRBAG RECALLS. I'VE HAD A RENTAL FOR 3 MONTHS WHILE AWAITING PARTS (EXPECTED SPRING 2018) ON 12/19/07, ADAM RUEHMAN, (SERVICE ADVISOR) CALLS ME & TELLS ME HE'S GETTING "SCREAMED AT" BECAUSE I'VE HAD THE RENTAL SO LONG. HE SAID THAT HE HAD MY AIRBAG READY. I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD BOTH, BECAUSE THAT WAS STRANGE. I CALLED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS WHO CONFIRMED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE BOTH AIRBAGS, ONLY ONE. THAT I CAN TAKE MY CAR TO FIX ONE & KEEP THE RENTAL UNTIL THEY GOT THE OTHER ONE. I HAD TO WORK SO I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING. THE NEXT DAY,12/20, ADAM CALLS ME TELLING ME AGAIN, THAT THEY HAVE BOTH PARTS. NISSAN HQ CALLS AGAIN & TELLS ME NOW, THAT THE SERVICE DEPT SAID THAT THEY DO HAVE PARTS FOR BOTH AIRBAGS. I BRING MY CAR IN & ADAM TELLS ME THAT IT WILL BE 300$ BECAUSE I NEED A SPRING THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG & THAT'S ALSO THE REASON MY HORN DOESN'T WORK. I TELL HIM THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY (XMAS TIME) I'M SINGLE MOM & BROKE. I SAID "SO WHAT DO I DO?" HE SAID "SORRY, WE CAN STILL FIX IT, IT JUST WON'T WORK" I DIDN'T TELL HIM HE COULD REPAIR MY CAR WITHOUT THE SPRING THAT I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY FOR. I WAS VERY UPSET & SENT OFF IN A COURTESY VAN TO GO GET THE RENTAL CAR & BRING IT BACK FOR THEM, EXPECTED TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH A RECALL REPAIR THAT WAS DONE INCORRECTLY. I CALLED NISSAN HQ & THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CASE WAS FORWARDED TO A HIGHER DEPARTMENT & IT WILL BE 24 HOURS & THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. I CALLED ADAM @DEALERSHIP & TOLD HIM THAT I'M NOT TAKING MY CAR LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE & NOT RETURNING THE RENTAL UNTIL I HEAR FROM NISSAN HQ. HE SAID OK. SHORTLY AFTER, ADAM LEFT ME VOICEMAILS DEMANDING TO BRING THE RENTAL BACK BECAUSE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS "COMPLETE", & NISSAN WAS NOT GOING TO PAY FOR ANY MORE RENTALS, TO COME PICK UP MY CAR AND THEY WILL CHARGE ME 35$ A DAY FOR THE RENTAL.

THE ARE ALSO REFUSING TO HONOR A DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WARRANTY, THE SEAT BELT BEING STUCK IN IT'S BUCKLE. ON 11/1/2017 WE WERE ADVISED TO NOT DRIVE OUR VERSA ANY MORE IN A PHONE CALL FROM NISSAN. THE LOCAL DEALER THEN TOLD US TO CALL BACK AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY, AS THE PERSON WHO IS SUPPOSED TO GIVE US PAPERWORK IS ON LEAVE. WE INSISTED AND THEN A SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD US TO CALL ENTERPRISE AND RESERVE A CAR. ENTERPRISE SENT US BACK TO NISSAN DEALER FOR A PURCHASE ORDER. FINALLY WITH RUN AROUND, ANOTHER SERVICE TECH GAVE US THE PAPWERWORK FOR THE LOANER CAR. WE CALLED ENTERPRISE AGAIN TO BOOK THE CAR AND GOT THEIR AT THE 5:00 PM, WHEN THE CAR WAS RESERVED. IT TOOK 90 MINUTES FOR ENTERPRISE TO GET THE CAR AFTER WHICH SERVICE MANAGER RENEETA REFUESED TO GIVE US A CAR UNTIL WE PAID A DEPOSIT. SHE PERSISTED AND SUGGESTED THAT IF WE DID NOT BUY INSURANCE, THE SMALLEST DENT ON THE CAR WILL COME OFF OUR PERSONAL INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE, EVEN IF NOT OUR FAULT. I AM AT LOSS ON WHY WE SHOULD BE PAYING SUCH DEPOSITS OR BE HARRASSED BE THE NISSAN DEALER AND RENTAL CAR FOR A RECALL AND WHY IS NISSAN OFFERRING CUSTOMERS A LOANER AND THEN HARRESS THEM SO THAT CUSTOMER GIVE UP ON TAKING THE LOANER.

DURING WINTER SEASON, WHEN MORE THAN 2 INCHES OF SNOW FALLS, WHEN PRESSING ON THE BREAK, I HAVE TO PRESS AND RELEASE REPEATEDLY FOR THE CAR TO STOP AT A LIGHT. IF I TRY TO STOP WITHOUT DOING SO, THE CAR WILL CONTINUE PAST THE STOP LIGHT ROAD MARK. WHEN I PRESS ON THE BREAK, THE BREAK PEDAL FEELS LIKE IT TOUCH THE ROAD. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS MORE THAN THREE TIMES. EACH TIME I EXPERIENCE THIS, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SCARY ONE. ONE DAY, I WAS GOING INTO THE BACK OF A CAR AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN I COULDN'T BREAK. I HAD TO PRESS THE HORN AND HELD IT SO THE DRIVER WOULD REALIZE I HAD A PROBLEM. I HAD TO SWING AWAY AS NOT TO HID THE DRIVER AHEAD. I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE A MINUTE ON THE SAME BLOCK, SO I WAS NOT DRIVING MORE THAN ABOUT 10 TO 15 MILES PER HOUR. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY NISSAN VERSA 2007 CAR.

REPORTING AN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 NISSAN VERSA INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE. WHEN DRIVING ON DRY ROADS AND BRAKING HARD, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR, THEN RECOVER ITSELF AND HAVE ADEQUATE PRESSURE WITHIN ABOUT A MINUTE. CAR HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED SINCE PURCHASE, INCLUDING ANNUAL BRAKE SERVICE. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE CAR'S LIFETIME - THE FIRST TIME, THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT ISSUE. FULL BRAKE SYSTEM WAS CHECKED OUT WITH NO ISSUES FOUND IN MASTER CYLINDER OR OTHER HYDRAULICS AND UNABLE TO REPEAT ISSUE. AFTER 1.5 YEARS, THE SECOND TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED, THE DRIVER WAS IN STOP & GO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON DRY ROADS AND WHEN HITTING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE FAILURE CAUSED A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. FULL BRAKE SYSTEM CHECK BY MULTIPLE SHOPS SHOWED NO ISSUE WITH BRAKE HYDRAULICS, AND AGAIN WAS UNABLE TO REPEAT THE ISSUE. BRAKE FLUID HAD BEEN RECENTLY EXCHANGED. OWNER HAS REQUESTED EVENT DATA RECORDER INFO PULL FROM NISSAN USA TO DETERMINE THAT BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN - NISSAN USA STATING $600 FEE PLUS 1 MONTH LEAD TIME UNTIL SUCH DATA CAN BE PULLED FROM THE VEHICLE. NISSAN TECH HAS CONFIRMED THAT SUCH AN ISSUE HAS BEEN SEEN IN SOME VEHICLES, BUT CANNOT CONFIRM CAUSE, ONLY THAT REPLACEMENT OF A WORKING MASTER CYLINDER HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM, WHICH GOES AGAINST REASON OF REPLACING SOMETHING THAT IS FUNCTIONING UNDER STANDARD TEST CONDITIONS.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS INFORMED LAST WEEK VIA A LETTER THAT I HAVE TWO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. SO I DID WHAT NISSAN TOLD ME TO DO AND WENT TO A DEALERSHIP, TO PICK UP A LOANER VEHICLE PROVIDED FROM NISSAN. WE WENT THROUGH ALL OF THE PAPERWORK AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING 2018. I ACCEPTED THIS FACT AND WAS WILLING TO ACCEPT THEIR LOANER VEHICLE AND BRING MY CAR HOME AND NOT DRIVE IT. WHEN WE GOT TO THE RENTAL AGREEMENT THEY INFORMED ME I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE FOR LYFT OR UBER DRIVING, LYFT IS MY MAIN SOURCE OF INCOME AND I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION. I AM ALSO A DRIVER FOR AMAZON FLEX AND I'M LEAVING PIZZA HUT. WHEN I WENT TO SIGN THE RENTAL AGREEMENT THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE THEIR VEHICLE FOR MY JOB. ALSO THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO CONTACT NISSAN FOR IT TO BE APPROVED TO BE ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND INCOME. SO I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THE PERSON I WAS CONNECTED WITH ESCALATED MY CASE TO A REGIONAL NISSAN MANAGER. THE SECOND PERSON CALLED ME BACK WITHIN A FEW HOURS AND INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE FOR MY JOB, AND THAT IF I CHOOSE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CURRENT VEHICLE I WOULD BE RELINQUISHING ANY RIGHTS IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO HARM ME. SO I EITHER CHOOSE TO ACCEPT THEIR LOANER VEHICLE AND FIND A NEW JOB, OR REFUSE THE CAR AND DRIVE MY CURRENT VEHICLE WITH AIRBAGS THAT MIGHT HARM ME AND OR OCCUPANTS OF MY VEHICLE. WHILE I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP I ATTEMPTED EVERYTHING I POSSIBLY COULD I EVEN ASKED IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCEPT MY CAR AS A TRADE IN THEY DENIED TO THIS BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAGS. SO I HAVE THE CHOICE OF CHANGING CAREERS OR CONTINUE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT COULD POSSIBLY INJURE ME OR ANY OCCUPANTS. I WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT THE NHTSA BY THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM.

THE SUN VISORS (L AND R) WILL NOT STAY UP ON THE HOOK, THEY FALL DOWN. PARTIALLY BLOCKING FORWARD VIEW. NEITHER VISOR WILL HOLD AT ANY POSITION, INCLUDING STORED. THEY CONTINUE TO DROP DOWN. I AM PRESENTLY USING VELCRO TO SECURE THE VISORS IN A STORED OR UP POSITION. THERE IA NO APPARENT MEANS OF ADJUSTMENT, AND THE DEALERS WANT $200 PLUS TO FIX. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN AUTOMOBILE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISORS, AND I HAVE OWNED AT LEAST 11 CARS SINCE 1956. *TR

THE DEFROST SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING. THE SYSTEM CANNOT KEEP WINDOWS FREE FROM FOG AND DURING COLD SPELLS, IT CANNOT KEEP THE FOG OFF THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THAT I HAVE ACTUALLY HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. NO MATTER THE INTERIOR TEMPERATURE IS SET, WHETHER YOU OPEN THE WINDOW, OR HOW FAST THE BLOWER GOES, NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP SEE. THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO CLEAR MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHECK FOR CARS IN THE 'BLIND' AREA WHEN CHANGING LANES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO; I PRAY YOU CAN COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. JUST THINK ABOUT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON A COLD DAY OR NIGHT AND BEING ABLE TO SEE FOR A WHILE. THEN, THE FOG SLOWLY OVERTAKES THE WINDOWS AND WINDSHIELD. ALWAYS THE WINDOWS! *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TAKING SAME ROUTE AS I'VE DONE FOR THREE YEARS. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME DRIVING A RECENTLY PURCHASED 2007 NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK. I MOVED INTO THE TURN LANE AND APPLIED BRAKES TO TURN A 90 DEGREE CORNER. THE BRAKES FAILED. I HAD TURNED THE WHEEL ANTICIPATING A NORMAL TURN HOWEVER THE CAR KEPT MOVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE CAR JUMPED A CONCRETE ISLAND AND CAME TO REST. I KNEW IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER SIDE ALTHOUGH THE DAMAGE WAS UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR FACILITY APPROX ONE HUNDRED YARDS FROM THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. POLICE CAME BUT NO CITATION WAS ISSUED. DAMAGE INCLUDES A BROKEN FRONT AXLE, DAMAGE TO SUSPENSION, WHEEL ETC. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE FAULTY BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR CAP RECALL. NISSAN STATES IT IS NOT. THE BRAKES FAILED AND THERE'S NO EXPLANATION. *TR

MY MUFFLER ON MY 2007 VERSA ROTTED OFF THE MAIN PIPE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VERSAS. WHY IS NISSAN NOT RECALLING THESE FAULTY PARTS.

I AM SURE I WILL BE BACK AND SAY THE TAIL PIPE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THAT PART ALREADY TOO. *TR
May 31, 2012
PIPE FROM FRONT END OF MUFFLER FAILED AT FLANGE WELD DUE TO: (1) MECHANICAL STRAIN, THE MUFFLER PIPE SUPPORTS THE RESONATOR BY PULLING THE PIPE TIGHT; (2) LACK OF CORROSION INHIBITION; (3) POOR QUALITY WELDING, THE COMPONENTS APPEARED TO HAVE NOT BEEN CLEANED FIRST. ==DETAILS== [1] THE COMPARATIVELY HEAVY RESONATOR WAS SUPPORTED AT THE REAR ONLY BY THE PIPE SEGMENTS BETWEEN IT AND THE MUFFLER. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MECHANICAL FORCE, APPLIED TO A STRUCTURE NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE IT. [2] ANY CAR SOLD TO PARTS OF THE USA THAT REGULARLY GET SNOW SHOULD HAVE CORROSION PREVENTION APPLIED TO ALL UNDERBODY COMPONENTS BY DEFAULT. NOT DOING SO IS NOT ONLY A POOR BUSINESS DECISION BUT ALSO INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF PARTS FALLING OFF AND LANDING IN THE ROAD. [3] WELDS TO UNDERBODY COMPONENTS SHOULD BE WELL INSPECTED, AS IF THEY BECOME SEPARATED PARTS OF THE VEHICLE MAY CEASE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY OR DEPART FROM THE VEHICLE ENTIRELY, RESULTING IN A SAFETY ISSUE. ==FINAL NOTE== THIS FORM DOES NOT RETAIN FORMATTING, MAKING THE REPORTS UNDULY DIFFICULT TO READ. *TR

The Airbag light is stuck on solid(its accessable). The seatbelts lock without toucking them(its accessable). The trunk wont unlock electrical problem through wire harness(its accessable) My safety and everyone else safety is in danger with these recalls that the dealer wont acknowledge on my 2007 Nissan Versa still in 2022. The problems are on all nissan versa models through 2007 - 2012 have been confirmed by dealer and my vehicle is a 2007 nissan versa hatchback and it says theres no recalls for my VIN which Nissan needs to be sued for this or actually fix there recalls. My vehicle has not been inspected by dealer, police, or insurance. But It has been checked by professional mechanics. no lights before problem started. just came on out of no where Airbag light never blinks just stays on solid after car is turned on. and the trunk worked just fine for 15 years until yesterday. the trunk has some electrical problem after mechanic inspected it. Fix these problems. My safety is in danger and so is everyone else.

While driving, I was going about 25mph, but was coming to an intersection. Before getting to the intersection the light was blinking yellow due to the time so i started to slow down so i could yield through the light. At this time, my son who was 3yrs 2mo old (at the time) was in the backseat in his carseat. As I gradually stepped on the brake pedal, I then felt a big slam, and my face smacked the airbag and dust flew all over my vehicle, and son in the backseat who didnt have an airbag deploy. As I came to realize what happened my son was in the backseat screaming and i had smoke coming from my hood. I hit a city light pole outside of a 7-Eleven store. I was unsure of what happened that caused the accident, but after it happened I got out of my car in complete shock of what hit me. my son was in pullups, and the gel stuff inside the diaper had flew all over my car as it caused the seatbelt to tighten around his legs. I grabbed my son out of the car, because it was smoking and the first thing I should have done was not moved. When i got out of car to see what hit me, i stayed on the sidewalk and waited 35mins for a cop, so by the time the cop came, who never called ems, told me i was being cited and they took my vehicle to the impound lot. The car then was considered totalled and because I was in an accident, gasoline was leaking and they said it was considered hazardous. I didn't nor did my child receive medical attention because we did not have medical insurance at the time but the officer didnt call ems. I then had to pay to get my things from the vehicle from the impound lot, and they were treating me very poorly about what i could grab and what had to left with it. I also had to pay Court Costs, and fines and due to this accident, i have suffered trauma, and my son im sure has also. My body has major pains as well as my legs, hips, neck and severe lower back pain. I am unable to care for my child as he needs at times because my body hurts so bad, i cant help.

HORN AND OTHER BUTTONS ON PANEL WERE ALL WORKING PROPERLY UNTIL AIR BAG WAS FIXED THAT DAY. I CALLED NISSAN WARRANTY DEPT AGAIN. DEPT SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP BECAUSE IT WAS A DEALERSHIP ISSUE. I TOOK VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN LEESBURG, FL 3 MONTHS AGO. THEY STATED THERE WAS A RECALL ON AIRBAG I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT. THEY FIXED PROBLEM. 2 MONTHS LATER AIRBAG INFLATOR LIGHT GOES ON AGAIN. I WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN CLERMONT AND THEY STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL ON FILE. THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY RECIEVED INFORMATION ABOUT IT.

THE TPMS LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL CONTINUOUSLY BLINK, EVEN WHEN ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IN THEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY TPMS LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT IS NOT DOING ME ANY GOOD. I HAVE NO WAY TO TELL IF A TIRE IS GOING FLAT WHILE MOVING BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY USELESS IN THE CAR.

1) THE REVERSE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AND REPLACING BOTH BULBS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL AND COSTLY TO FIX. 2) THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW SWITCH/MOTOR STOPPED WORKING IN 2009 AND COSTS $500 TO REPAIR SO STILL BROKEN. 3) THE REAR LEFT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT ALWAYS OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE WITH THE REMOTE UNLOCK SWITCH ON MY KEY 'FOB', AND SOMETIMES THE REMOTE WILL NOT LOCK SAME DOOR. THE DOOR NOT OPENING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CHILD SAFETY SWITCH ON THE INNER DOOR. SOMETIMES THE SAME DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE WITH THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK IN THE 'UNLOCK' POSITION AND THE DOOR UNLOCKED FROM WITHIN. IT COULD BECOME A 'TRAP' IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. THIS IS AN ON AND OFF PROBLEM, AND IT HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY. IT REMAINS UNADDRESSED. 4)THE FRONT EXTERIOR DRIVER DOOR HANDLE CAME APART UPON OPENING AND IS $500 TO FIX. 5) THE RUBBER SEALS AROUND 2 OF THE DOORS SPONTANEOUSLY CAME OFF AND HAVE TO BE MANUALLY RE-ATTACHED REGULARLY. 6) THERE IS A FLAPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER WHEEL WELL AREA, AND MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE SOUND. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN A LOT AND AT 55000 MILES IT DEVELOPED THE PROBLEM OF TRANSMISSION COOLANT FAILURE, THIS WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOCK UP EVEN DURING DRIVING AND CAUSE AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. LUCKILY WE DETECTED QUICK ENOUGH THAT WE DID NOT HAVE ANYONE HARMED DURING THE OPERATION OF THE CAR. NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER ALL REPAIR WORK UNDER THE EXTENDED GUARANTEE AND ENSURE SAFE DRIVING FROM THE DEBRIS LEFT IN THE COOLANT LINE BUT DID REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE COOLANT PUMP, THERMOSTAT OR OTHER COOLANT DEVICES WON'T FAIL AND CAUSE OTHER OPERATIONAL HAZARDS, IF THEY DO INDEED FAIL AS A RESULT OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE TO PERFORM A FULL REPAIR; AND ENSURING THAT THE LINES AND COOLANT SYSTEMS ARE FREE FROM DEBRIS AND WILL NOT FAIL UNDER USE. FAILURE OF THE COOLANT SYSTEM CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE AND MAY POSE A UNSAFE DRIVING HAZARD, HOWEVER BY THEIR (NISSAN) DEFINITION CHANGING THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION AND LEAVING DEBRIS IN THE COOLANT LINES IS WITHIN REASON AND SAFETY GUIDELINES AND DO NOT HAVE TO FLUSH OR REPLACE ANY OTHER COMPONENT THAT THE OIL MIXTURE HAS TOUCHED EVEN IF IT DID DAMAGE THOSE COMPONENTS AS A RESULT OF THE OIL MIXTURE. *TR

THE TPMS SENSORS WERE ALL CHECKED AT COSTCO AND THE RESET BY THE TECHNICIANS TO RELEARN THE PROGRAM. THEY STATED THAT IF THE TPMS COMES BACK ON THAT I WILL NEED TO TAKE TO A DEALER TO GET IT FIGURED OUT SINCE IT COULD BE THE COMPUTER. CALLED THE DEALER TO FIND OUT COSTS THAT THEY SAID THE DIAGNOSTIC WOULD BE $65 WHICH WOULD BE CREDITED FOR ANY SERVICES THAT NEED TO BE DONE. AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IT CANNOT BE NOT DONE BUT IF THIS WERE ALSO A FEDERAL SAFETY MANDATED ISSUE SUCH AS AN AIRBAG IT SHOULD NOT "DEPLOY" UNLESS THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW. BOTH TIMES AT COSTCO AND AGAIN WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS AT THE SPECIFIED 33 PSI. IF AN AIRBAG WERE TO BE DEFECTIVE THAT WOULD CAUSE A DANGER TO LIFE AND PROPERTY BUT DUE TO THIS SAFETY MEASURE NOT THREATENING LIFE OR LIMB IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE ZERO DEFECTS AND THE USER CAN GET BILLED FOR ANY DEFECTS UNLIKE AN AIRBAG. *TR

THE HATCHBACK LOCK MECHANISM QUIT WORKING ON JULY 2 (106885 MILES). CAN ONLY BE OPENED WITH THE KEY FOB (NO KEY LOCK ON THIS MODEL), OR BY UNLOCKING THE BACK SEATS AND CRAWLING INTO THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT TO PULL THE MANUAL RELEASE. WHILE THIS IS A PAIN IN THE NECK, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO POSE A HAZARD. ON JULY 27 (108291 MILES) THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK QUIT WORKING - TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY. THERE ARE FOUR WAYS TO OPEN THIS DOOR, WITH THE KEY FOB, THE ELECTRIC LOCK/UNLOCK MECHANISM ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, AND FINALLY THE MANUAL LOCK/UNLOCK MECHANISM. ALL OF THESE QUIT WORKING AND THERE IS NO EXTERIOR MANUAL KEY LOCK TO ACCESS EITHER. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR AN EMERGENCY, THE PASSENGER HAS NO QUICK AND EASY WAY TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THEY MUST EXIT THE SAME WAY THE ENTERED THE VEHICLE, BY CRAWLING OVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT AND WHEEL, EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION SHIFT MECHANISM. MY WIFE DRIVES A TOTAL OF 64 MILES A DAY (TO AND FROM WORK) 10 DAYS A MONTH -- BY HERSELF, SO THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND HATCHBACK HAVE NOT BEEN USED AS OFTEN AS ANOTHER CAR WITH OUR MILEAGE MIGHT BE EXPECTED TO HAVE BEEN USED. THE DEALER QUOTED ME $895 PLUS TAX TO FIX THESE TWO ISSUES ($485 FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR). NOT ONLY DOSE THIS POSE A SERIOUS DANGER TO THE PASSENGER, IT IS A RIP OFF (WHY DIDN'T THEY PROVIDE A "KEYED" ENTRY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE?)! *JS

I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE LAST WEEK I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN WAS BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A FUEL PUMP. IT WAS REPLACED. AFTER I GOT THE CAR BACK IT STARTED TO HAVE NO POWER WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS PETAL. BECAUSE OF THIS I WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT AND THE RPM'S WOULD BE VERY HIGH. IF SOUNDED LIKE THE MOTOR WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP AGAIN AND NOW THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT IT IS A MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD WHY ARE THESE THINGS HAPPENING? I HAVE HAD PEOPLE SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT HIT ME EVEN WHEN THE GAS PETAL IS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TRYING TO MAKE THE VEHICLE MOVE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR
