ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2009 VERSA THAT HAS APPROX 3800 MILES. THIS HAPPENED OUT OF NO WHERE: THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVING FINE UNTIL I CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT. THE CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. I PUSHED THE GAS AND IT WAS STILL HESITATING AS I DROVE. I FINALLY, STOP AND TURNED OFF THE CAR AND BEGAN DRIVING IT AGAIN. IT WAS OKAY UNTIL I CAME TO A STOP AGAIN AND IT STARTED ALL OVER. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SOMEONE WOULD COME BEHIND ME AND HIT ME. THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT INDICATORS SHOWING ANY PROBLEMS. I FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND ASKED THE DEALER TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO BE CHECKED OUT. THE DEALER IS WORKING ON IT BUT SAID THAT IT MAY BE THE CRANK SENSOR, THAT WAS THE CODE WHEN THEY PUT THE COMPUTER TO THE CAR. THE DEALER DROVE THE CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. *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

MY 2008 NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE CRACKED WHILE SITTING OVERNIGHT IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CRACK ORIGINATES FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, TRAVELS UPWARDS ABOUT 3 INCHES AND THEN TRAVELS ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD TOWARDS THE DRIVER FOR 10 INCHES AND THEN BACK DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE ARE NO STONE CHIPS OR VISIBLE DEFECT AT THE CRACK INITIATION SITES. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE DEALER INFORMED ME IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE ENGINE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. MY 2008 NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK HAS ABOUT 20000 KM ON IT AN HAS HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED ONCE ALREADY UNDER WARRANTY BY THE DEALER ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO. NOW I AM ENCOUNTERING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. IF YOU LEAVE THE IGNITION TURNED ON FOR 15 TO 30 SECONDS THEN THE CAR WILL START. I SUSPECT THE FUEL PUMP HAS A PROBLEM BUILDING UP SUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO DELIVER FUEL TO THE CAR AND THAT IS WHY IT WILL START ON A SECOND ATTEMPT. *TR

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

MY 2008 VERSA HATCHBACK HAS TWO VERY LONG CRACKS IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY WINDSHIELD. BOTH CRACKS ORIGINATE AT THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD, WITH NO ROCK SCAR OR DAMAGE OF ANY SORT. APPEARS TO BE STRESS CRACK OR MASSIVE DEFECT IN GLASS WORKMANSHIP. BOTH CRACKS APPEARED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR HOURS. ACCORDING TO DEALER, THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

SUSPENSION:FRONT
ABOUT APRIL 8 2007 9 DAYS WHILE PURCHASING THIS CAR I REPORTED A COMPLAINT TO THE LOCAL BAYRIDGE 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 200 MILES AT THE TIME. 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 . THIS VEHICLE IS ADANGEROUS VEHICLE I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS TO AS I HAVE TRIED TWO 2 NISSAN SERVICE STATIONS AND NISSAN MECHANIC, STILL PROBLEM IS THERE 2 WEEKS BACK BRAKE SUDDENLY WENT DOWN I DROVE WITH OUT BRAKE FOR A WHILE, MY FAMILY TRAVELS IN THIS CAR. ANY INCIDENT / ACCIDENT DUE TO FAILURE OF THESE PARTS I WILL HELD NISSAN LIABLE. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN DOES NOT BLOW WHEN YOU TAP IT ON CERTAIN POSITIONS. THE INABILITY TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS INCREASED THE RISK OF VEHICLE CRASH. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND A TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 483 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12900.
