ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I RIDE IN THE NISSAN VERSA IT HAS A TOXIC EFFECT ON ME. I GET SHORT OF BREATH AND HAVE COUGHING ATTACKS. THIS WILL LAST DAYS AFTER BEING IN THE VEHICLE. THERE HAS TO BE SOME TOXIC ITEMS IN THE CAR FOR IT TO HAVE EFFECTS LIKE THIS ON ME. IT GETS WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY SPECIFIC COMPLAINT IS FALSE ADVERTISING. WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NISSAN ADVERTISED THE VEHICLE A VERSA WITH CVT TRANS AS GETTING 30/36 MPG. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER GOTTEN ANYWHERE NEAR THESE FIGURES. MY LAST FILL UP, MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES WAS 22 MPG. THE SERVICE DEPT. STATES EVERYTHING IS RUNNING CORRECTLY IN THE ENGINE. IT IS FUNNY BUT NOW THE SERVICE DEPT TELLS ME THE MPG IS 28/33 NOT 30/36. I BOUGHT A CAR THAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO HAVE GOOD FUEL ECONOMY AND IT IS NOT MUCH BETTER THAN MY SUV. *TR

2008 NISSAN VERSA BACK PASSENGER HUB CAP ON TIRE HAS COME OFF TWICE AND I HAVE NOTIFIED DEALER OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS. I HAVE SEEN AT LEAST 5 OTHER CARS WITH MISSING HUP CAP AND I DO SEE THIS AS A PROBLEM. THE DEALER WANTS ME TO KEEP PURCHASING HUB CAPS. *TR

STEERING:COLUMN
A CLIP BROKE ON A UNIVERSAL JOINT ON MY WIFE'S 2007 NISSAN VERSA. GRENADA NISSAN OF GRENADA< MS SAID THAT IT WAS A RETAINER CLIP, AND THAT THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED...THIS WAS IN FEBRUARY, WITH LITTLE MORE THAN 800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IN NOVEMBER, THE CLIP BROKE ONCE AGAIN. MY WIFE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CANNON NISSAN IN GREENWOOD MS, WHERE THEY TOLD HER THAT IT WAS A "MANUFACTURER'S" CLIP, THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BREAK OFF! NOW, ONE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING US THAT A BOLT WILL BACK OFF WITHOUT THIS CLIP, WHILE THE OTHER DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT THIS CLIP IS NOT NEEDED! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
I HAD PURCHASED A NEW 2007 VERSA FROM STAR NISSAN ON 9/22/07. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, I FOUND OUT THE CD PLAYER WAS NON-FUNCTIONAL. A DAY OR TWO LATER, I REALIZED I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR. ON 9/26, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I WAS TOLD ON 9/27 THAT IT HAD A FAULTY FUEL PUMP AND THAT THE PART THEY NEEDED WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 10/10/07. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ME TO BE WITHOUT MY BRAND NEW CAR FOR A WEEK AND A HALF. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THREE WEEKS AGO, I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 NISSAN VERSA. SINCE MAKING THE PURCHASE, I HAVE HAD PERIODIC PROBLEMS WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TURN THE KEY, THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY CRANKS FOR 5+ SECONDS. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL THEN START, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST DIE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THAT I START THE VEHICLE, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETECT ANY PATTERN TO HELP INDICATE WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR SERVICE SO FAR, AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE OR EVEN IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND VARIOUS ACCOUNTS OF OTHER VERSA OWNERS DETAILING SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKES SEEMED LATENT IN COLLISION, HAD TO PUMP BRAKES ON NEW CAR TO AVOID ACCIDENT, 3 TIMES. BRAKES SUFFICIENTLY LOCKED, BUT TOO LATE TO AVOID COLLISION. SKID MARKS FROM 120 FEET AT 50 MPH IMPACTED VEHICLE AT 35 MPH. DRY CONDITIONS SUNNY DAY. 65 FAHRENHEIT. I BELIEVE THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT AND WORKED PROPERLY TO AVOID COLLISION. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO OWNING A VEHICLE MADE BY NISSAN. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND LAST VEHICLE BY NISSAN I WILL DRIVE.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN IN JAN 2007. THREE WEEKS LATER THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. SUBSEQUENTLY WHILE TRYING TO PUMP GAS INTO THE CAR THE GASOLINE OVERFLOWED OUT THE FILLER NECK. CAR ONLY HAD 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND WE COULD NOT PUT ANY MORE GAS INTO THE TANK. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD US THAT THE VENT CONTROL CANISTER, HOSES AND DRAIN WERE FROZEN SOLID. TECHNICIAN QUESTIONED WHETHER THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW. STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM MANUFACTURER. THE VALVE ASSY AND CANISTER ASSY WERE REPLACED AND THE HOSES WERE THAWED OUT AND RE-USED. PROBLEM SOLVED? WE WASHED THE CAR TWICE AT AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH WHERE WE GOT THE UNDERBODY WASH. THE TEMPERATURE THAT WEEK WAS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. TECHNICIAN SUGGESTED NO MORE AUTOMATIC CAR WASHES TILL MANUFACTURER DECIDES WHAT TO DO. *NM

AIR BAGS
I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN VERSA IN JULY OF 2006; 3 WEEKS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COVER CAME OFF THE DASHBOARD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY PUSHED IT BACK IN AND ORDER A NEW ONE. THEY SAID IT WASN'T A SAFETY CONCERN. THEY NEW BACK TOOK ABOUT 2 MONTHS TO ARRIVE. THEY REPLACED IT AND A BOUT A WEEK LATER THE AIR BAG COVER CAME OFF THE DASH BOARD AGAIN. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR A 2 DAYS AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD SCREWED/ BOLTED DOWN THE AIR BAG TO THE INSIDE OF THE DASH BOARD. LAST WEEK I CALLED THEM BECAUSE THE COVER CAME OFF ONCE AGAIN AND THEY CALLED A FIELD ENGINEER TO COME TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAR, MEANWHILE THEY SAY IS SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR LIKE IT IS RIGHT NOW. SHOULD I BE CONCERNED OF THE AIR BAG COVER EXPOSED LIKE IT IS? SENSE THIS IS THE 3RD TIME AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IN CASE THE BAG DEPLOYS. *JB
