FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN TURNING ON ONCE A MONTH AND NOW IT'S ABOUT ONCE A WEEK IT WAS CRANK AT ALL. ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS AND IT JUST COMPLETELY STOPPED. PLEASE HELP ME! I BOUGHT THE PLATINUM WARRANTY ON THE CAR AND THE DEALER REFUSES TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT IT MIGHT NOT START. WHEN I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER IT HAPPENS TO TURN ON BUT IT'S NOT LIKE I KNOW WHEN AND WHERE IT WILL NOT TURN ON. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT LOTS OF NISSAN VERSA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. I TOLD THE DEALER THIS AND THEY REFUSE TO EVEN HUMOR ME THAT IT MIGHT BE JUST THAT. A RECALL IS IN ORDER PLEASE!!! *TR

AIR BAGS
I OWN A 2007 NISSAN VERSA WHICH HAS A RECALLED ISSUE FOR AN AIR BAG/SEAT BELT DEFECT FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY ARE SAYING MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY 2007 VERSA HAS THE "PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT ON EVEN WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN THE SEAT. WITH THAT LIGHT ON THE AIR BAG IS NOT ABLE TO DEPLOY NOR WILL THE SEAT BELT WORK. I HAD THE PART REPLACED BY A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER THE SAME LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND REMAINS ON. I AM BEING ADVISED TO HAVE IT FIXED ANOTHER TIME BUT DO NOT COUNT ON IT BEING FIXED AS I HAVE ALREADY HAD IT SWITCHED OUT ONE TIME ALREADY. *TR

VISIBILITY
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT
NISSAN VERSA 2007. SOME TIMES THE CAR WON'T START WITH THE INTELLIGENT KEY. THE CAR SOMETIMES LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY AND OTHER TIMES IT WON'T LOCK WITH THE INTELLIGENT KEY, I AM AFRAID THE CAR WILL LOCK WITH MY GRANDCHILD IN IT AND I CAN'T OPEN THE CAR. I USED THE HORN AND THE RADIO CAME ON. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT THERE CERTAINLY IS. *TR

AFTER AT LEAST 12/15 TRIPS TO VARIOUS SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR REPAIR ATTEMPTS,RIGHT AXLE, 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.THEY HAVE CHANGED RIGHT AXLE MANY TIMES BUT NO USE , NISSAN NORTH AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE MR JUSTIN HALL REVIED CASE 3 TIMES COULD NOT FIX THE VEHICLE FROM HIS MECHANIC SEND BY NISSAN .

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

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.

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THE SUN ROOF DRAIN DUCTS SHOULD DRAIN THE WATER FROM THE VEHICLE, LEAKS INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE FAILURE CAUSES THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS TO BECOME WET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR REPAIR AND THEY BLEW AIR INTO THE AIR DUCTS TO CLEAN THEM OUT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS PROCESS WOULD HAVE TO BE PERFORMED PERIODICALLY IN ORDER TO KEEP THE AIR DUCTS FROM CLOGGING. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,000. UPDATED 10/16/09 THE CONSUMER WANTED TO KNOW THE STATUS OF HIS COMPLAINT. HE RECEIVED A SHORT LETTER IN THE MAIL, BUT NOTHING SINCE THEN. UPDATED 03/01/10 UPDATED 03/05/10*JB

WHEELS
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

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PURCHASED IN APRIL 2007, 2007 NISSAN VERSA WITH <30K MILES HAS SUDDENLY BEGUN HAVING WHAT APPEAR TO BE CVT ISSUES. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE IN THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN IN OPERATION, DRIVER TRIES TO ACCELERATE AND ALTHOUGH RPMS WILL RAISE SIGNIFICANTLY (I.E. 4000), THERE IS NO INCREASE IN SPEED, EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN FREEWAY AND SURFACE STREET TRAFFIC. THEY HAVE RUN ALL THEIR USUAL DIAGNOSTICS, BUT SAY THERE IS NOTHING SHOWING UP. THE ATTITUDE OF THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL REFLECTS THEIR DISBELIEF THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I WORKED FOR THE COMPANY FOR 18 YEARS, HAVE DRIVEN NISSAN VEHICLES FOR OVER 20 YEARS, BUT AS A RESULT OF THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION, I AM READY TO SWITCH LOYALTY TO ANOTHER BRAND. I DROVE THE VEHICLE FROM NEW UNTIL @ MY 18-YEAR-OLD SON HAS BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE SINCE NOVEMBER 2007 WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW. THEY ASKED IF WE HAD DRIVEN OTHER VERSAS WITH CVTS AS IF WE HAD SUDDENLY FORGOTTEN HOW TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WE'VE OWNED AND DRIVEN FOR TWO YEARS. IT'S NOT SAFE IN LOS ANGELES DRIVING CONDITIONS TO HAVE THIS OCCUR. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
THE TPMS SYSTEM IN MY 2007 VERSA HAS STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. IT HAS FAILED AND CAME ON WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE FINE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAD ONE TIRE THAT WAS 1LB LOW AND THAT IT WOULD SHUT OFF WITHIN THE NEXT 5 MILES OR SO/. IT DID TO COME BACK ON IN 10 MILES. I HAVE TALKED TO THEM SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY WILL PUT IT ON THEIR MACHINE TO TEST IT FOR $45. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN VERSA SL HATCHBACK IN JULY OF 07. IN MID 08 I STARTED HEARING A KNOCK FROM THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT INTO SEVERAL DEALERS AND NO ONE COULD TELL ME WHAT IT WAS CAUSED FROM. LATE 08 IT STARTED USING OIL AS WELL, AND THE DEALER DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ON IT TO VERIFY THAT IT WAS INDEED USING OIL. THEY TOLD ME THEN THAT IF I CAN PRODUCE ALL MY RECEIPTS FROM WHERE I GOT MY OIL CHANGED THEY WOULD PURSUE IT FURTHER. I HAVE ALWAYS DONE AS MUCH OF MY OWN MECHANIC WORK MYSELF, SO I DO NOT HAVE ANY RECEIPTS. AT THAT POINT THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE ME TO LOOK INTO MY ENGINE. ALSO, MY AIR PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON IN MID 08, AND THEY ALSO WANT TO CHARGE ME TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
PURCHASED CAR JULY 2007. IN SPRING 2008, FUEL PUMP REPLACED DUE TO CAR (A) GETTING POOR GAS MILEAGE (B) TAKING 2-3 CRANKS TO START (C) FEELING LIKE NO POWER WAS GETTING TO THE PEDAL. STARTED HAVING ISSUES AGAIN FEBRUARY 2009. WENT ON A TRIP MARCH 2009 FOR TWO WEEKS. WHEN I RETURNED, THE CAR TOOK 5 MINUTES TO START WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS AFTER CRANKING AT LEAST 5 OR 6 TIMES. TAKING TO THE DEALER NEXT WEEK. TODAY, STARTED FINE, BUT NO POWER BEHIND PEDAL AND POOR MILEAGE. SHOULD HAVE KEPT MY BEAT UP TRUCK, WHICH WAS JUST AS RELIABLE. *TR
