ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN
2011 NISSAN VERSA WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR NOT SHIFTING OUT OF PARK. AT THE TIME, POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER IN EFFECT. DEALER ADVISED, THAT THE SHIFTER SOLENOID IS NOT FUNCTIONING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST FOR THE SHIFTER SOLENOID IS APPROXIMATELY $600.00 DOLLARS. I CONDUCTED A RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED NISSAN HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH MOST OF THEIR VEHICLES AT LOW MILEAGE. NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE SUSPENSION IS ALSO MAKING NOISES AND HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN, WHO HAS ADVISED THE STRUT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE MAKES CLICKING NOISED WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. THE COST FOR OEM STRUT IS APPROXIMATELY $ 200.00. I AM HAVING TO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND CONSIDERED TO TRADE IT IN IF NISSAN DOES NOT RECALL VEHICLES. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE A HISTORY OF COMPLAINS WITH NISSAN ABOUT THE STEERING. MY COMPLAINT WAS ABOUT A PINGING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END. YOU COULD ALSO FEEL THIS PING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. NISSAN IGNORED THIS COMPLAINT AND EXPLAINED IT WAS MY ABS CALIBRATING. AS TIME WENT BY THE NOISE GOT WORST. NISSAN WOULD EVEN CHARGE ME $150.00 EACH TIME THEY LOOK AT THE CAR FOR THIS NOISE AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. LAST WEEK NISSAN TOLD ME THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SPRING MOVING WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS. THE SPRING TIGHTENS AND LOOSENS WITH EACH TURN OF THE WHEEL. THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE A FIX FOR IT, BUT THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR IT. TO ME THIS SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT IN DESIGN AND I SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE CHARGES, HOWEVER THEY WONT REPAIR IT UNLESS I PAY FOR IT. *TR

ENGINE, STRUCTURE
I BOUGHT TWO 2009 NISSAN VERSAS BRAND NEW. FIRST THE FRONT RIGHT HUB CAP FELL OFF BOTH VEHICLES WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR. NEXT THE KEY HOLE COVER ON THE DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF ON BOTH CARS. BY THE FOURTH YEAR THE AC COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AND I HAD TO PAY $1,300 TO REPLACE IT. FINALLY I WALK OUT TO MY VEHICLE, GO TO OPEN THE DOOR, AND THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE CAME COMPLETELY OFF. WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I SAW ANOTHER NISSAN VERSA (SAME MODEL) WITH THE DOOR HANDLE MISSING. THE PART IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON RT. 9 IN WEST CHESTERFIELD NH. A LARGE, WHITE, UNMARKED BOX TRUCK BEGAN TAILGATING ME. IT WAS QUITE ALARMING, BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS VERY LARGE AND HE WAS VERY CLOSE BEHIND ME. I WAS TRAVELING 5 MPH ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT AND HE WAS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO MY BACK BUMPER. AT ONE POINT, I'M SURE THERE WAS LESS THAN ONE CAR LENGTH BETWEEN US. IT LOOKED LIKE A BUSINESS TRUCK, BUT THERE WERE NO MARKINGS. THE LICENSE PLATE WAS FROM CONNECTICUT, NUMBER K97642. THE DRIVER WAS ALSO SWERVING BEHIND ME, AS IF HE WAS CONSIDERING PASSING. IT MADE ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE.

SUSPENSION
THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SPRING COMPLETELY BROKE. I WENT TO THE VEHICLE ONE MORNING AND NOTICED THE FRONT OF THE CAR SITTING VERY LOW TO THE GROUND ON THE DRIVER SIDE. ALMOST NOT SPACE BETWEEN WHEEL AND FENDER. I LOOKED UP UNDER THE WHEEL WELL AND SAW THAT THE SPRING WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN. LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME INCIDENT AND STRONGLY BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART. NISSAN BETTER STEP UP. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN AND WOULD NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE EVER AGAIN. THE VEHICLE STILL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I ORDERED THE TWO FRONT SPRINGS AND WOULD TRY TO REPLACE THEM THIS WEEKEND. I WILL TAKE PICTURES AND POST THEM ONLINE. *TR
